Plans for commemorative public garden in Salthill progressed

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Plans for a commemorative garden in Salthill which will creatively promote the concept of organ donation have been progressed

City cllrs have unanimously agreed the part 8 planning stage for the Circle of Life garden at Quincentennial Park

Martina and Denis Goggin of Spiddal are behind the extensive project which is in memory of their only child Eamonn who died in a car crash in 2006

The detailed plans which councillors described as beautiful will see a new entrance to Quincentennial Park, a stone constructed reflective area, feature stone pieces, heritage stones, a water fountain and elaborate landscaping

The Goggins along with the Strangeboat Foundation are spearheading the project and last night cllrs agreed to contribute 5000 euros from the council's profits from the Mumford and Sons concert in Salthill
