Councillor Seosamh Ó Cuaig said he hoped that there wouIld be good attendances at these meetings. "For some reason we in Connemara have been left without a public swimnmning pool over the decades while Galway County Council and Galway City Council were actively promoting such facilities - and funding them - in other parts of the county. Now we have a study going on and we should make our voice heard strongly", Councillor Ó Cuaig said.
