Corrib Beo, in collaboration with Galway City Museum, are delighted to welcome Brendan ‘Speedie’ Smith to give a comprehensive talk titled “How a Corrib pedestrian-cycling bridge within a National Park City designation could transform Galway City”.

We recommend you book in advance on Eventbrite.

Brendan’s talk will focus on the potential impact of restoring the iconic railway bridge across the Corrib, linking up with the Connemara Greenway; he will also reflect on his experiences and wider lessons from 25 years of Tuatha, including the potential for a National City Park in Galway.

Brendan Smith is an activist, writer, campaigner and coding teacher; he leads walking and bicycle tours of his beloved Galway hinterland, and tree planting meitheals. He has been a leader in the areas of community action and environment in Galway for many years, including leading the foundation of the Terryland Forest Park back in the Millenium Year 2000.
