Show Notes
Galway County Councillors approved a €79 million roads budget for 2026, a 15% increase from 2025, to address critical road repairs on nearly 7,000 km of roads. Key allocations include €4.5 million for the Galway City Ring Road, €4 million for traffic calming on the N83, €2.5 million for R332 upgrades, and €2 million for Athenry relief road parts. Tensions arose during meetings, with Councillor Geraldine Donohue likening road choices to picking favorite children. Most remaining funds will go to local road resurfacing and maintenance. However, economic uncertainties may impact the project list.
