Residents of Galway City will have a chance to show their appreciation for the city’s frontline workers, who have kept society ticking over in difficult circumstances this year, when a special appreciation convoy makes its way through the city this evening.
Mayor Mike Cubbard will lead the convoy of blue light workers, medical staff, volunteers and more starting from Merlin Park Hospital at 6pm this evening.
“You will have a chance to applaud our frontline workers as they drive through the city in convoy. Santa will also be in attendance.”
“Be sure to socially distance and in a safe way, come out and say thank you to those who have gone above and beyond this year.”
The convoy will make its way from Merlin Park Hospital, through Doughiska and Ballybane, in towards Bohermore and along the docks out towards Salthill.
