Traffic delays expected due to protest over Kirwan roundabout changes

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Delays are expected in the east of the city this morning as a protest takes place over the proposed redevelopment of the Kirwan Roundabout. The 1.2 million euro project will convert the roundabout into a four-arm traffic light junction and divert the Coolagh road onto the N84 Headford road to create a three-arm junction. The Kirwan Action Group claims this will increase traffic through Menlo, Tirellan, and Ballinfoile. The protest at Ballindooley, Ballinfoile Park and Tirellan Heights runs until 9.30 this morning.
