A few weeks ago I asked the children of Galway to send me their ideas around what we need to do post COVID-19 here in Galway.
As one of my final acts as Mayor I wanted to gather their ideas and will now create a poster with their thoughts and hang it in the Mayoral Room in City Hall where future Mayor's can reflect on the thoughts of our young people in 2020.
Here's what they said...
