Next government must be ready to act swiftly with ring road project, says Connolly
Thu, Nov 21, 2024
John Connolly, Fianna Fáil election candidate and city councillor, says he has sought a commitment from Tánaiste, Micheál Martin to ensure that if Fianna Fáil form part of the next Government that the Galway Ring Road project will be included in the next Programme for Government.
“If elected, I will insist that the new Government give us a realistic timescale for the N6 project to be approved, funded and construction commenced” said Cllr Connolly this week.
Cllr Connolly has said that while the project is currently undergoing a planning assessment, there was no reason that the department of transport shouldn’t be ready to commence construction should the application get approval.
