Amharc ar fhreagraA transport strategy for Galway City was prepared by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in partnership with Galway City Council and Galway County Council in 2016. Development of the Galway Transport Strategy was informed by a wide-ranging public consultation process at the time.
The strategy set out an overall framework for the development of transport infrastructure and services in Galway City and its environs over a twenty year period.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
