Minister for public and commuter transport Alan Kelly is holding a symposium on the scheme at NUI Galway tomorrow morning. (10:30-1:30)

Its purpose is to analyse the feasibility of the project in Galway and will focus on issues such as bike locations and funding.

Senior Engineer with the Galway transportation Unit Jim Molloy says he is confident the scheme will proceed.
