The Galway City Council will continue to hold talks with various stakeholders to implement outdoor dining shortly.
Brendan McGrath, Galway City Council chief executive, has confirmed that plans are ongoing. "We are engaging with engineers designing outdoor dining," Mr McGrath said during Monday's online city council meeting.
Director of services Brian Barrett also discussed the issue with outdoor dining set to be implemented at suitable locations in the city.
'Temporary toilet facilities'
Several councillors acknowledged that temporary toilet facilities being made available is helpful in the current climate.
Cllr Donal Lyons said: "I welcome the temporary toilets, if we were to go looking for permanent toilet buildings we could be waiting a long time." Cllr Eddie Hoare added: "I just want to re-emphasise the measures being taken by the executive. Any toilet is better than no toilet. The residents in my area will welcome it, and I look forward to more works."
