Galway Bay fm newsroom - All students at NUI Galway must sign a pledge to follow public health guidelines before the upcoming semester.

The University says the community promise addresses the need for a deepened sense of maturity and responsibility through the academic year.

It has not clarified if there will be any penalties or enforcement for breaking the rules.
