Ard Fraoigh Residents Association (AFRA)
Galway City, Ireland
Garda Meeting – 22 Oct @ 8PM, Galway Bay Hotel
Galway City, Ireland
Welcome to the website of the residents association of Ard Fraoigh, Galway City, Ireland.
The purpose of this website is to keep residents of Ard Fraoigh updated on events and activities organised by the residents association, residents association meetings, and various items and issues of relevance to Ard Fraoigh.
Galway Gardaí are inviting all Neighbourhood Watch and Residents' Association groups in Galway City to a community meeting.
📍 Where: Galway Bay Hotel
🗓️ When: Wednesday, 22nd October at 8 PM
Everyone is welcome to attend, listen in, and participate as they wish.
We’re organising our last community clean-up of 2025 on Saturday, 8th November, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Our main goals for the day include:
Sweeping leaves from footpaths at the estate entrance
Pruning overhanging branches along street kerbs to allow Galway City Council’s sweeping machine to reach the verge
Cutting back bushes in two cul-de-sacs (opposite houses 32–36 and 62–68)
To make this a success, we’ll need plenty of volunteers, brushes, and a sturdy A-frame ladder.
We encourage all residents to lend a hand; many hands make light work, and the more we do, the better Ard Fraoigh will look.
We look forward to seeing you there!
