Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway has made the final 3 for the 2020 Capital of Culture bid
Limerick, and the ‘Three Sisters’ team of Kilkenny, Waterford & Wexford are the other two finalists
Dublin is now fully out of the bid
The judges had intended bringing the shortlist down to 2 but decided this afternoon to leave it at 3, probably because there wasn’t much separating the groups
Galway and the other two finalists will undergo more scrutiny from the judges over the next few months and the final decision will be announced in July
