We’ve now passed 1,500 signatures — and the momentum is growing.

A huge thank you to everyone who has signed the petition and helped show the strength of local support for saving Silverstrand Beach.

With the Galway West by-election approaching on May 22nd 2026, please raise this issue whenever you meet or speak with politicians and candidates. Ask them where they stand on protecting Silverstrand beach for future generations of swimmers, and watersports users.

This is a real local issue in Galway West and your vote can help in getting the watersports ban lifted in time for the start of the 2026 bathing season.
