Nearly there


After much preparation, the Galway 2020 Year of Culture is about to kick off on Saturday with an opening event in South Park, beside Nimmo’s Pier in Galway city. The opening ceremony is itself a culmination of events that began in Clifden last night.The weather was wet and windy, so I’m hoping for better weather on Saturday. The pier has been closed off while workers finish erecting the necessary structures. Let’s hope for clear skies and calm weather next Saturday.
