Galway’s two local authorities have begun the process of turning Galway Airport into a creative media hub.
As joint owners of the Carnmore facility, Galway City Council and Galway County have invited tenders from film and television companies interested in production.
In 2014, when the councils purchased the site from Galway Chamber, the local authorities commissioned a study in order to determine the most effective course of action for the reuse of this strategic property for the benefit of Galway and the wider region.
