GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION URGED OVER M18

Date Published: 29-Mar-2011

The Minister for Transport is being asked to intervene to progress the building of the M18 Gort to Tuam motorway.

At a meeting of Galway County Council this week, Councillors Seán Canney and Michael Fahy proposed that the Council write to Minister Leo Varadkar.

The Gort to Tuam Scheme would be a non-tolled Public/Private partnership.

The National Roads Authority says the preferred bidder for the €500 million scheme can’t complete the tendering process.
