Residents in Ballindooley are very unhappy with the decision to grant sections of the Galway City outer bypass, including the section in their areaAn Bord Pleanala has granted permission for part of the controversial bypass between the junction of Garraun and Gortatleva, and refused development west of the N59 between the junction of Gortatleva and An Baile Nua.Residents from Ballindooley strongly opposed plans for the bypass on several occasionsToday they're outraged that while permission for the route has been refused in some areas, permission has been granted for it to go through their land.In the 14 page report, issued by the planning board to Galway Bay FM news, the main reason given for refusal to grant part of the bypass is that it would cut through Tonabrocky Bog.Galway West TD, Frank Fahey says that the decison to grant part of the controversial Galway City Bypass and refuse another part is "just crazy".
