We have obtained observations of the OH Megamaser galaxy IRAS03056+0234 usingGemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) Integral Field Unit (IFU), Very LargeArray (VLA) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The HST data reveals spiral armscontaining knots of emission associated to star forming regions. The GMOS-IFUdata cover the spectral range of 4500 to 7500 \AA\ at a velocity resolution of90 km s$^{-1}$ and spatial resolution of 506 pc. The emission-line fluxdistributions reveal a ring of star forming regions with radius of 786 pccentred at the nucleus of the galaxy, with an ionized gas mass of 1.2$\times$10$^{8}$M$_{\odot}$, an ionizing photon luminosity of log Q[H$^{+}$]=53.8 and astar formation rate of 4.9 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The emission-line ratios andradio emission suggest that the gas at the nuclear region is excited by bothstarburst activity and an active galactic nucleus. The gas velocity fields arepartially reproduced by rotation in the galactic plane, but show, in addition,excess redshifts to the east of the nucleus, consistent with gas inflowstowards the nucleus, with velocity of $\sim$45 km s$^{-1}$ and a mass inflowrate of $\sim$7.7$\times$10$^{-3}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$.
