We are a heritage organization which undertakes projects that make a real and appreciable difference to the attractiveness of Galway as a place to live and work in, or to visit.
Galway Civic Trust has completed more than 50 projects since it was founded in 1992. Our work ranges from small-scale tasks such as the erection of plaques and the floodlighting of O'Brien's Bridge, to large-scale projects like the restoration of the Mutton Island Lighthouse and Keeper's Cottages.
Galway Civic Trust is a registered
charity, supported by FÁS and
Galway City Council, but relying
for most of its running costs on
memberships and donations. Members are
encouraged to become involved and may vote at our
Annual General Meeting.

Situated in the centre
of the City, beside the River
Corrib and facing Nimmo's
Pier and the Claddagh, the
Fishery Tower is one of
Galway's best known
architectural landmarks. The
Fishery Tower is truly unique,
in that it is the only building
of its kind in Ireland.
