Date Published: 21-Apr-2010

Despite being stranded over 5-thousand miles away, Mayor of Galway Declan McDonnell says his trade mission to China has been a huge success.

Mayor McDonnell is stranded in the Chinese city of Qingdao due to restrictions on air travel as a result of the cloud of volcanic ash.

He was due to fly home yesterday.

A delegation of Galway businessmen, academics and city council representatives held a number of trade meetings in the Chinese city.
