With unexpected infrastructure challenges emerging, including potential issues with another bridge, the Department of Transport admits costs could skyrocket. Deputy O’Hara expresses concern about the government’s commitment to completing the full road, while Galway County Council scrambles to revise the business case. Two sections are already open, including the “elbow” at Ballygurraune, funded under a €1 billion housing infrastructure package announced in June. The Department insists it’s working closely with local authorities to balance delivery with fiscal responsibility.
