RENEWED CALL FOR SINGLE AUTHORITY TO PREVENT FUTURE FLOODING IN GALWAY

Date Published: 11-Mar-2010

There’s a renewed call for one authority to take a lead role in the regulation of the Shannon catchment area.

An Environmental Oireachtas Meeting has heard that this is the only way to avoid a future flooding disaster in East Galway.

At present there are a number of stakeholders in the river – including the IFA, Waterways Ireland, the ESB, the Irish Fisheries Board and the OPW.
