Galway Gets Funding to Prevent Floods

Galway County Council is set to receive 200,000 euro to tackle flood risks by cleaning rivers and channels — part of a national 3 million euro push. Galway City Council is adding 50,000 euro for local efforts. Funded by the Office of Public Works, this focus is on essential upkeep like removing blockages and dredging silt, not flashy new builds. Officials stress that consistent maintenance is just as vital as big defenses, helping protect homes, farms, and businesses. New rules also streamline smaller flood and coastal projects, ensuring smoother, more effective action going forward. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
