The family moved to the Cappagh Road, and some years later to Dublin, before returning to Galway again, where Colgan graduated from university as a civil engineer. He began his engineering career in London, before returning to Ireland.In June 1970, Gerry Colgan was co-opted to Galway Corporation to fill the vacancy created by the appointment of Bobby Molloy (Fianna Fáil) as Minister for Local Government.
