Cllr Alan Cheevers also queried when these works would take place. Uinsinn Finn, senior engineer and head of transport with Galway City Council, stated that routes were identified to bring forward to construction, which they hope to start soon.

He added that a public consultation on the Clybaun Road route should be able to take place shortly pending National Transport Authority approval.
