New City Map
Sponsored by the Quincentennial committee, the Bank of I r e l a n d , G a l w a y Corporation and a number of advertisers Galway has a new city map. Easier to read with a wonderful index of places and streets, a synopsis of places to visit, churches, colleges, historic buildings, parks, etc. all outlined in colour, beautifully prepared by the Ordnance Survey Dept. Deputy Mayor Gerry

Molloy launched the map at a special reception at Aras Failte, when Ireland West official Brian N o l a n introduced the city officials present and those from the Ordnance Survey Dept. who were headed by Comm. Maurice Walsh and Kevin Toolan. The Map is available at tourist offices for 50p or at O'Gorman's Bookshop, its a worthwhile creation and will certainly be lauded by tourists and locals alike -- The Map was commissioned by the Quincentennial committee Willy Fahy.
