Galway Bay fm newsroom – A Ballinasloe campaign group is calling on the OPW minister to fund further flood alleviation works in Ballinasloe town in a bid to safeguard homes and businesses.
Councillor Aidan Donohue says the East bridge on River Street is an area that needs to be addressed.
However, the bridge area does not form part of the national CFRAM flood mitigation programme.
Ballinasloe is one of several areas in the River Shannon catchment area which will qualify for major flood mitigation plans.
The campaign group has met with the Minister with responsibility for the OPW, Galway East TD Sean Canney to discuss plans for the area.
Councillor Donohue says he’s confident works can be carried out at the bridge, without affecting the CFRAM study.
