Galway is a university city — of its 100,000 inhabitants, 20,000 are university students. The main industries are education, tourism, I.T, software and medical devices.
We can share with you our clean environment, a thriving artistic and dramatic culture, traditional pubs with music to suit all tastes, top quality restaurants and a full calendar of festivals featuring poetry, the arts, music, horse racing, oyster festivals etc. Galway is also the ideal location for the sports enthusiast — golf, fishing, horse-riding, tennis, sailing and falconry are all easily accessible.
