I'm pretty sure if major events made any money for Galway then the council would give them as much supportas possible. After all, councillors and the friends and family look like exactly the type of pub/hotel owners most likely to benefit.

Except they prefer to benefit without having to put their hands in their pockets.

It's not just Galway tbh, I've seen the same attitude elsewhere.

What I have noticed though is that those in smaller towns / communities are more likely to row in for everyone's benefit AND for their own ... something about the bigger a place gets the more a sense of community breaks down, and everyone thinks someone else should do it?

Perhaps start again with something smaller like a Flugtag?
Good fun and probably not very expensive either.
Salthill would be a good location for it too,

Flugtag would be good alright. OR go all out and get the Red Bull air race in the bay!
