‘Game is up’ for city of culture project as Galway 2020 falls short of target

The new creative director and chair for the Galway’s European city of culture project have “failed to inspire confidence” in the light of fundraising figures, according to the city’s former mayor.

Fine Gael councillor Padraig Conneely said the “game is up” for Galway 2020 in the light of the latest financial report showing the project is far short of its €7m private sponsorship target.
