Corporate Plan

This Plan presents the Council’s leadership role in setting significant ambitions and opportunities for the People and City of Galway, as Ireland’s fourth largest city. In addition, it underpins the City’s leadership nationally in supporting Irish culture and heritage. Galway is a city of green and blue spaces, has over 25,700 tertiary level students, and is the key driver for socio-economic development along the Atlantic Economic Corridor.

No city is without its challenges - this Corporate Plan will support our city to address our challenges, and to thrive - with vibrant communities, strong employment and a flourishing natural environment.

Thank you to all those who have contributed to the preparation of the Plan, and to the success of our city to date. The engagement of our many diverse communities, businesses and our voluntary sector from across the city, is central to the continued wellbeing and sustainable development of our city. The Members, Staff and Management of Galway City Council are committed to continue to support and engage with the people of the city and beyond, to make Galway City a welcoming and thriving place, over the lifetime of this plan.
