Funding awarded for development of free public wifi zones in Galway

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Funding has been allocated for the provision of five public WiFi spots in Galway.

The move is part of an EU initiative called WiFi 4 EU - which aims to establish free and open-access WiFi spots across Europe.

€60 thousand has been awarded towards creation of four public WiFi spots in the city - while a further €15 thousand will go towards a hub in the county.

Locations will be selected over the next 18 months - but they must be areas considered 'centres of public life' with no other free service.
