Mayors of Galway outline highlights of 2013

A delegation attended a ceremony in China earlier this month where they won the overall award for healthy lifestyles and the gold award for best community in the world with up to 20 thousand people.

Mayor Padraig Conneely says his highlight was the signing of a friendship agreement between Menlo Park in California and Menlo in the city.

Menlo Park in California celebrated its 150th anniversary when two emigrants from Menlo in Galway, Denis Oliver and Daniel McGlynn settled over there.

Pardaig Conneely says the pair will be recognised for their efforts for years to come
