Galway County Council is inviting stakeholder in Athenry to send representatives for a new team consulting on town regeneration projects.

In order to aid in these the council is seeking representatives from local stakeholder groups to form an Athenry Town Team to aid in consultation briefings.

a) Business Community
b) Community & Voluntary Groups / Organisations
c) Cultural / Arts Groups d) Education/health promotion groups
e) Historic & Heritage Societies
f) Social Inclusion/Support Groups
