Galway Bay fm newsroom - Additional information on the city ring road should clear the way for an oral hearing.
That's according to Galway West TD and Junior Minister Sean Kyne who says Galway County Council has provided additional information on the project as requested by An Bord Pleanála.
The information covers issues including environmental impact and traffic patterns and volumes.
Minister Kyne says An Bord Pleanála will now be evaluating the information and may put it on display to allow for public opinion.
The Fine Gael Minister says it should allow a date for an oral hearing to be set which he expects will be in early 2020, if not by the end of this year.
