The second Plenary of 2019 will take place on Wednesday, June 26th at 6.30pm (6pm for registration) in the Menlo Park Hotel, Galway.
GCCN has invited all the new Galway City Councillors to attend this Plenary meeting. This will be a good opportunity to meet them and to discuss ways in which we can work together over the lifetime of the new Council.
The meeting will also discuss the process for electing the new GCCN Reps – the elections to be held at the GCCN Plenary meeting in September. For more info check this post.
