'This will be in addition to the €250,000 for works to be carried out on the R364 Glenamaddy/Ballymoe (Stonetown/Ardeevan) which will also be carried out this year.' stated Senator Kitt.
'€85,000 is also being allocated to the Glenamaddy - Dunmore Road (R 362), almost €190,000 is being allocated to roads at Garrafrauns (R 328,R312,LP 2204), and €180,000 is being allocated to the Tuam - Athenry rd (R347) and is part of a an overall allocation to Galway Co Co under the Restoration Improvement Scheme.'
'I welcome this funding for Galway Co Co and I will continue to fight for further funding. We are making progress incrementally to improve our National Road Network, with recent announcements on the Tuam/Galway Road, Atlantic Corridor and Galway/Dublin Road. However, we must also ensure that our Non-National and County Roads continue to get funding to improve their quality.' concluded Senator Kitt.
