Galway City Council is carrying out a feasibility study on the possibility of reopening the tidal swimming pool in Salthill, and inviting the public to have their say.
Ladies Beach in Salthill once featured tidal swimming pools, but they have been shut for several decades now.
There has been significant public support for their restoration in recent years, with one petition garnering more than 6,000 signatures in favour of the plans in 2021.
Following the allocation of funding in the council budget earlier this year, a feasibility is now taking place, and a public consultation event on the plans will be held this month.
The public consultation event will take place on Thursday, June 29 between 5 – 7pm at the Galway Bay Hotel in Salthill.
The purpose of this non-statutory consultation is to invite input from stakeholders at an early stage to help inform the scheme as it proceeds through feasibility stage.
For those who cannot attend the event, submissions/observations can also be made up to Thursday, 20th July by email to the following address: parks@galwaycity.ie or by post to:
Recreation & Amenity Department,
Galway City Council,
City Hall,
