Galway Food Festival faces uncertain future

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Galway Food Festival will not take place this year due to losses incurred and the need for a cash injection.

The popular festival faces an uncertain future according to chairperson and restaurateur, JP McMahon.

The Galway chef says it costs around 100-thousand euro every year to run the festival and it generally runs at a slight loss.

He says it needs a cash injection of around 30 or 40 thousand euro in order to continue.
