Galway City – Your Council | Cathair na Gaillimhe - Do Chomhairle

Show Notes

Our guest this week is Tom Costello who is a Dog Warden from the Ballybane Dog Pound. Galway City Council seeks to promote responsible dog ownership - the basis of which is licensing and control of dogs.

Dogs are wonderful pets and are loyal and dedicated companions. However, if you are considering taking a dog into your life, or if you already have a dog, it is important that you think seriously about the commitment that dog ownership entails. Being a dog owner is a huge responsibility - not only will you have responsibilities towards your dog, but you also have responsibilities towards your community.

The Galway City – Your Council series can be listened to every Tuesday where we will be chatting to some of the people who deliver Galway City Council’s services and celebrate the valuable work they do in Galway City.

As the local authority for Ireland’s third largest city - a leader in culture, education and business - Galway City Council is delivering services for a population of 83,456, with a 2023 revenue budget of €113 million, and a capital budget of around €5 billion over the next decade.

Please subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts and you will be the first to hear new episodes every Tuesday.
