Galway Bay fm newsroom - More investment is desperately needed in Ballinasloe before the town can reach its full potential.
That's according to Roscommon Galway TD Eugene Murphy, who says Ballinasloe has a wealth of top class sporting facilities, schools, and prime commercial space to offer.
However, he says the town has suffered major economic setbacks in recent years - and greater support from the local authority is badly needed.
The Fianna Fail Deputy says Ballinasloe offers a well serviced, low cost base strategically located between Galway city and Athlone.
Deputy Murphy argues that more funding from the county council will lead to far greater investment.
