City councillor calls for transparency over Galway 2020 issues

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Former Mayor of Galway, Padraig Conneely is calling for openness and transparency following the latest departure from the Galway 2020 organisational team.

Hannah Kiely has stepped down as Chief Executive of Galway 2020, after months of turmoil at the organisation.

Councillor Padraig Conneely has been critical of the group in recent months, amid concerns about funding and progress with the plan.

The organisation announced Hannah Kiely's departure amid a raft of personnel changes, and the role of Chief Executive appears to have been dispensed with.
