Galway Bay fm newsroom – Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Leo Varadkar says his department can’t provide extra funding for a base for Galway Mountin Rescue.

She asked Minister Varadkar to liaise with the city and county councils to ensure the mountain rescue team secures a new base and basic funding.
The team currently utilises two parking spaces at the already overcrowded University Hospital Galway as its base.
