Believe it or not: the footbridge, seen here at Ballyglunin Station in the opening scene of #TheQuietMan, was originally located at Oughterard on the Galway-Clifden line. Now at Ballinasloe station, this footbridge is still in use today! #WesternRailCorridor Irish Railway Archives (Ciarán Cooney) (2/2)

Our thanks to Galway Rural Development for organising a really engaging discussion around the future of LEADER in the region last night in Tuam. #LEADER EU CAP Network
