A Mayor from Poland is to make an official visit to Galway next week forging international connections here.

The Mayor of Torun, Michal Zaleski, and a delegation from his council will meet with Galway dignataries, business, educational leaders during the trip.

An informal gathering with the group and members of the Galway united soccer trust, and members of the Polish community takes place in Monroes in the city on Tuesday evening.

The initial link between Torun and Galway was made in 2011 when soccer fan Tommy Shields was searching for information on where to stay in Poland.

Tommy says he hopes strong links will be made between the two communities.
