Galway Bay fm newsroom - Contracts have been signed for the site-selection and design of new waste-water treatments plants for Spiddal, Carraroe, Roundstone and Ahascragh.
Galway West TD and Junior Minister Sean Kyne says consulting engineer firm Mott McDonald has been selected to lead the projects.
It'll now begin the selection and evaluation of suitable sites and the design of the new facilities ahead of planning permission.
