I am delighted with the outcome of the election for both myself on a personal level and for my party colleagues. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who helped in the success of Fianna Fail and to those of you who gave us your support on the day. I'm looking forward to working for Galway East for the next five years and I hope that you contact me with an issues that you feel I can help you with.
Is mise le meas,
Michael

Developments in the Tuam Area
Tuam Health Campus
Tenders are being sought from private developers for the construction of the healthcare campus on the grounds of the former Bon Secours Hospital, Tuam. It is hoped that building work could commence on the site early next year.
The Health Service Executive has stated that the development will consist of a 77 bed community hospital including long stay, respite and palliative care beds. An ambulance base is also included in the plan as are mental health facilities, a primary care unit, a health centre and a medical assessment and minor injuries unit. The closing date for expressions of interest by developers is May 21 and those interested should have their applications in by that date.
Tuam to be included on Natural Gas Network
I would like to whole heartedly welcome the decision by the Energy Regulator to allow the Bord Gais to extend the Natural Gas network to a number of towns in Galway East- including Tuam. All the towns involved will have gas by 2008 if not before. Included in the extension are Headford, Athenry, and Craughwell.
Tuam Sewerage Scheme
I welcome the recent connection of the Dallygaddy sewerage scheme, a project I have been working on for some time. This directly created over 3000 jobs in the Airglooney area of Tuam. Since the new year there has been a further 50 jobs created in this area.
I have been informed by Galway County Council that tender documents have issued for the Kilkerrin, Dunmore and Leenane Sewerage Schemes. The closing date for receipt of tenders for these schemes is Thursday the 26th July 2007. Those interested in submitting a tender are encouraged to do so by that date.
Since 2004, a massive €500 million has been invested in public water and sewerage schemes in County Galway, many of which are in East Galway. This Fianna Fail Government has invested in the Galway water and wastewater infrastructure as a result of a growing population and greater demand from the industrial and commercial sector.
New Road
The development of the new road in the Airglooney Industrial area of Tuam will prove vital for business in this area and Tuam. It is essential that the road is put in place to cope with increased traffic congestion in the town.
I hope this local news update is of interest to you and your family. If you need assistance with anything contained in this letter don’t hesitate to contact me.
