Half a million euro extra funding for Galway roads under Local Improvement Scheme

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Almost half a million euro of additional funding has been approved for roads across Galway under the Government's Local Improvement Scheme. The extra allocation of €426 thousand is in addition to €942 thousand earmarked for Galway in September. The LIS supports improvement works on private or non-public roads which are used by the public and lead to homes, farms or local amenities. The scheme was re-introduced this year for the first time since 2011. Galway West TD and Junior Minister Sean Kyne says this is welcome news for communities who have applied for funding.
