Galway Bay fm newsroom – The city’s nuclear free status is to be celebrated on Sunday.
The event is being led by Galway Alliance Against War.
It aims to mark the 70th anniversary of the dropping of a US atomic bomb on the Japenese city of Nagasaki in 1945.
The anti-war campaign group is urging the public to bring paper peace lanterns to the event.
These will be hung on trees around Eyre Square at around 2pm on Sunday.
Niall Farrell of Galway Alliance Against War says it aims to highlight the fact that nuclear weapons haven’t gone away.
