Galway Bay fm newsroom - Mayor of Galway, Councillor Mike Cubbard, has praised the strong public turnout last night for a special convoy to honour the efforts of frontline workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The procession contained over 40 vehicles including trucks, vans, jeeps and motorbikes from a range of frontline services including emergency, charity, support and rescue services.
It set off from Merlin Park shortly after 6pm and made its way through a large number of streets and neighbourhoods within the city boundaries on a tour that lasted several hours.
Mayor Councillor Cubbard has praised the huge turnout and support they received - saying it's vital that we remember all frontline staff.
