Government accused of not investing in rural recreation and tourism in Galway

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Nothing has been done to develop rural recreation and tourism in Galway since 2010.

That's according to Galway West TD Eamon Ó Cúiv who says the government isn't investing enough in the sector.

Deputy Ó Cúiv says the government should reinstate Comhairle na Tuaithe - an umbrella group of landowners, recreational users of the countryside, and state bodies like Fáilte Ireland and Coillte.

It hasn't met since November 2016 while being reviewed by the government.

Deputy Ó Cúiv says investing in rural recreation and tourism in Galway will benefit local communities.
