Show Notes
The Western and Northern Region of Ireland, once a transition region, has seen its GDP per capita surpass the EU average, making it a more developed region. However, this reclassification means less EU funding for infrastructure projects. Local leaders like Galway City Councillor Níall McNelis warn that reduced funding could exacerbate issues in rural areas, such as poor transport and housing shortages. As the next EU funding period begins, theres pressure to balance growth with support for the countryside.
