Galway Bay fm newsroom - A local councillor is concerned that motorists are being put at risk due to a lack of clarity over who's responsible for dangerous overhanging trees on county roads.
Councillor Declan Geraghty says they'd have typically understood that anything outside a fence or wall that encroaches on public roads is an issue for Galway County Council.
However, he says they were advised at a recent meeting that it's solely the responsibility of landowners - and they are now awaiting clarification on the issue.
Speaking to Galway Talks, Councillor Geraghty urged landowners to ensure their public liability insurance is up to date.
