Carraroe delegation raises concerns about dangerous condition of Connemara road

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Local activists from Carroroe have told the county council that the road connecting Carroroe to the Connemara islands is a 'disaster waiting to happen'.

They raised their concern with Connemara councillors at a Municipal District Meeting.

According to Paraic O Lochlainn - PRO of the group's committee - parts of the road are a disaster waiting to happen.

Mr O Lochlainn says the fire and ambulance service have complained about the narrowness of the road delaying them on the way to emergencies.

Coiste Bóthair Doire Fhearta hope to secure funding to widen the road and remove some of the more dangerous bends.

The Connemara councillors heard the concerns of the group and will raise them when the roads budget is decided later this year.
