Summary
The Galway-Athlone greenway’s first phase skips Galway entirely, starting in Athlone and ending at Shannonbridge — sparking outrage from County Hall officials who argue it should stretch at least to Ballinasloe for better regional sense. Councillor Alan Harney is pushing back, calling it a missed opportunity to connect further west from day one. With Westmeath leading the charge and Galway set to manage future sections, the debate heats up over whether this initial leg makes strategic sense.
