The road network in Athenry and Oranmore is the worst funded in the county, despite carrying the heaviest traffic.
That was the key message - and the source of much frustration - as councillors discussed the 2025 budget for the district at County Hall this week.
Funding is allocated based on the length of the road network - which means other areas like Tuam, Loughrea and Connemara receive far higher funding.
Councillor David Collins told David Nevin it's quite frustrating and a fairer system is needed.
