energy production. By 2020, Galway was producing enough renewable energy to cater for more
than half of its population. By the time the energy crisis consumed the rest of the country, the
Galway energy hub had already capitalised on the need for security of supply, in terms of

You must not forget that this cultural renaissance in Galway at the time, which included the
expansion of some mighty cultural facilities created a vibrant street life, promoted ethnocultural
and intellectual diversity and space for critique and discussion and support for the all
important social bond. Consequently, there is a higher density of people living in the city centre
and not in the suburbs. This has changed the entire face of the city and how it works, as well as
added to social segregation. In other words, the wealthier people can choose where they want
to live and are reaping the benefits of this cultural boom while the less-well off have no choice
but to stay in the suburbs.

The service industry also helped to stabilise the regional economy within the health sector. By
2018, two more hospitals were built in Galway to cater for the West coast of the country. This
provided employment and much needed healthcare services in the region.
