## Resource

Galway’s getting a major upgrade for road travelers—with two new motorway plazas approved this month, including a “state-of-the-art” one in Gort sparking local debate. While critics worry about environmental impact and disruption to farming, the council greenlit the project with 34 strict conditions, limiting noise, hours, and use to pure service stops. Meanwhile, another plaza near Junction 15 is set to feature restaurants, coffee, car washes, picnic areas, and even a 36-spot EV charging hub—showing Galway’s future is fast, green, and fueled by convenience.
