Episode Details

Galway Airport’s future is heating up as six groups vie for the 114-hectare site, once a functioning airport until 2011 and now a repurposed space used for everything from COVID testing to concerts. With the current leaseholder’s contract expiring in December 2026, local politicians are already squabbling over how any sale proceeds should be split—with Councillor David Collins demanding a 50-50 split between city and county councils. A state-backed report on the bids is in the works, set to be reviewed by chief executives before councillors, leaving everyone waiting to see if the site will become an entertainment hub, a commercial airport, or something else entirely.
