City language school calls for state funding to support free English lessons for Ukrainians

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A city language school is calling on the Government to provide funding to meet the enormous demand for English lessons from Ukrainian refugees.

Galway Language School, based at Bridge Mills, is providing free classes during the summer months.

Speaking to Galway Talks, Director Patrick Creed says the state urgently needs to provide support.
