Show Notes

After over a decade of planning, Ballinasloes flood defenses remain stalled, leaving the town vulnerable to River Suck overflows. The Office of Public Works main project calls for new walls, embankments, and controls, but extra engineering steps are still needed before construction starts. Local officials and councillors express frustration, with Fianna Fails Michael Connolly and Sinn Feins Dermot Connolly criticizing the delays and highlighting neglected projects. Pressure mounts for faster action to secure the towns future amid constant flood threats.
