Salthill’s famous Promenade provided the backdrop to Galway’s Walk for Water 2025 this morning.
The event, organised by An Taisce Green-Schools in partnership with Uisce Éireann, was held to celebrate World Water Day, which takes place this Saturday, 22 March.
The Walk for Water saw approximately 50 pupils from primary schools in Galway city embark on a 6km walk up and down the Prom. They did so to highlight the difficulties in accessing clean drinking water faced on a daily basis by millions of people in the developing world.
Pupils from Scoil Fhursa and Merlin Woods Primary School took part.
Saidhbhin Gannon of Uisce Éireann spoke to the pupils about the need to conserve water and shared some simple, everyday changes we can all make in our own lives to use less water.
