Works have finally begun on the site of the new Connemara ambulance base.
Following a campaign spanning two decades, the HSE announced plans for the facility in 2021, but it's suffered delays over the years.
The works will involve turning the existing single-storey health centre in Recess into an ambulance base, with two bays for ambulance parking and two car parking spaces.
It's expected the works, which are being carried out by a local contractor, will take around six months
Speaking to Galway Talks, PJ Leavy Connemara Ambulance Crisis Group, says it means a lot to the local community
