Councillor Clodagh Higgins is calling for more funding from Government to help Galway City Council to meet the cost of large-scale new playgrounds and the expansion and upgrading of the existing ones
The Fine Gael City West councillor says these spaces are crucial for the physical and mental well-being of the whole family.
Government funding is contingent on City Council matching funding of at least 25% of the amount provided by the department
Councillor Higgins says this could be a barrier, particularly as construction and material costs are on the rise, which is why more funding is required from Government
