The Galway Luas will be a key part of Galway Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (GMATS) and must be added to it during the next review.
Preferred route selection is the next step - moving these plans closer to reality.

🚍 #Galway #BusConnects new bus network- what's the delay?!?
It is all about the money. Public transport in Galway needs to be funded - Greens achieved a commitment to 2/3 of transport being spent on public/active travel, but gone by the by in current government.

Last week the State of Europe’s Environment report criticised the poor quality of Ireland’s natural waters and has said that Ireland’s food systems “need urgent transformational change”. This will be no surprise to anyone who has read

Last nights RTE report featured the weather from Galway. It reminded me of my own appearance on Virgin Media News a few years ago during a similar storm. Both reports contained no reference to what might be causing so many storms. Disgraceful reporting. 1/2

The Galway #climateinspirations festival had some great talks at the Druid, but we also ended up having a talk on home retrofits while standing in a poly tunnel in Westside Community Gardens. Mad stuff !
