Funding to complete Athenry roundabout
Galway Bay fm newsroom - Almost 200 thousand euro in funding has been secured to progress an unfinished roundabout at Lorro Gate in Athenry.
In 2007, a developer began building the structure.
However, part of the old town walls became exposed and a State archaeologist recommended building the roundabout above the remains of the walls.
195 thousand euro has now been allocated by Galway County Council which will finally see the completion of the structure in the Prospect area.
Loughrea Area Cllr Peter Feeney says it's a great boost for the area where the project has been at a standstill for some time.
