Fáilte. Welcome to the official web site of Claregalway, County Galway.
Claregalway is situated seven miles (11km) north of Galway City on the N17 road to Tuam (Sligo). Claregalway is an expanding village with a population of over 1,800 and a total of 4,000 people living in a parish of about 12,000 acres in size.
