Summary
Galway’s road funding crisis is hitting hard—local councillors are furious as contractor fees soar, slashing actual roadwork done despite no increase in spending. Central government shortfalls and the drain of local property tax through an equalisation fund are leaving a $100 million hole over the years. Sinn Fein’s Dermot Connolly calls it a national joke, while Fine Gael’s Alan Harney reveals repair projects are being axed, and Independent Evelyn Parsons admits they’re only fixing 4% of roads annually instead of the targeted 10%. Communities feel ignored as crumbling infrastructure goes unfixed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
