Flood Relief Boosts and Critical Infrastructure Plans | Galway News

Minister Seán Canney unveils major flood relief upgrades, boosting business and community aid to €30,000 under the Emergency Humanitarian Flooding Scheme — now extended through 2027 for faster, no-approval-needed support. As the government drafts a new Critical Infrastructure Act to fast-track essential projects like Galway’s port and hospital, local voices urge smarter prevention over reactive repair — while warning that prioritizing flashy projects like Corrib go Costa could sideline vital health infrastructure. A permanent legal framework for flood aid is also in the works, aiming to make disaster recovery smoother and more resilient for the future.
