Galway Bay fm newsroom - Councillors are taking steps to safeguard the future of Ballinasloe's iconic town clock.
The clock was owned by the town council - but unusually, the housing of the clock does not belong to the local authority.
At Ballinasloe district level, councillors described the clock as a landmark, and said every effort should be made to 'keep it ticking'.
Following a proposal by Cllr Tim Broderick, district councillors agreed to allocate 1500 euro in their annual budget from this year onwards to ensure the clock is maintained on an ongoing basis.
