Galway Bay fm newsroom - There's been a strong reaction to the news that one of the city's most iconic nightclubs is set to close its doors after more than 30 years in business.
Electric Galway - formerly known as Central Park - is to cease operations, alongside Halo nightclub and associated businesses.
In a statement, the company says it's sustained over 600 days of complete closure, lost revenue, unpaid bills, and reopening dates that have never materialised.
It concludes that it has been left with no other option but to put the building on the market, and expresses hopes a brighter future lies ahead for the nightclub scene.
Thousands of comments have been posted online - in the main, lamenting the move as the end of an era.
Local Councillor Alan Cheevers - who previously served on the management team at CP's - agrees it's a big loss.
