Events planned in Tuam for visit of Mayor of Straubing, Germany in April

The Mayor and several officials of Straubing in Germany will be visiting Tuam this April.

It's part of a twinning relationship between the two areas, which dates back to 1991.

Special events are being planned for the visit, which coincides with the 35th anniversary of the original connection.

Independent Councillor Karey McHugh Farag says they'll be hoping to show off the best of Tuam during the visit.
