Councils and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) welcome decision on N6 Galway City Ring Road  

Thu, Apr 09, 2026

Galway County Council, Galway City Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) welcome the decision of An Coimisiún Pleanála to grant approval for the N6 Galway City Ring Road (N6 GCRR).

The N6 GCRR is a core component of the wider transport solution for Galway City and County, complementing BusConnects, ongoing rail enhancements, Active Travel and the continued delivery of other major transport initiatives under the Galway Transport Strategy (GTS).

Galway County Council, Galway City Council and TII recognise that the prolonged planning process associated with the N6 GCRR has been very difficult for home and property owners affected by the proposed route.
