Canney welcomes Kilbannon and Athenry roads funding
Sean Canney, Independent TD has welcomed the €36,230,409 funding allocated to Galway County Council for the 2021 roads programme.
“I am particularly delighted with a further allocation of €1.5 million for the Kilbannon road realignment and a further €1 million for the Athenry Relief road sections 3 and 5”.
“The inclusion of almost €1.4 million for drainage works is also very welcome as there are many roads that suffer from localised flooding,” he said.
