EU Funding of more than €3.3m has been awarded to revitalise Galway City's canal network.
Galway City Council has become the first council in Ireland to receive funding under the European Urban Initiative.
The project is known as WATERWAY and a key cornerstone is the installation of three small-scale hydropower turbines at Mill Street, Terryland and Nun's Island.
They'll generate electricity for public use, including powering buildings and electric vehicle charging.

The first turbine is expected to be installed late this year, with all systems set to be fully operational by early 2029.
