During its existence it has introduced the Shopping and Dining Guide, the Dine in Galway campaign, the Light Up Galway initiative, and the Galway Free Wi-Fi scheme, to name but a
Galway Chamber president, JP Gilmartin, said the chamber was "looking forward to working with our new members" from the GCBA and that this will "strengthen our representation in the city centre", and that Galway Chamber will "work diligently to build on the notable and impactful success of the GCBA over many years".
