Galway Bay FM newsroom - There are hopes a proposed new community centre in Newcastle could be funded by Government this year.

In the Dáil this week, Minister Heather Humphreys said a €21m fund for new-build centres will be opened for applications this month.

She said she's looking for shovel-ready projects with planning permission.

Deputy Noel Grealish said the Newcastle project fits all the criteria - and is badly needed.
