Department of Education discusses alternative to soakway in Newcastle

Galway Bay fm newsroom:

Proposals are being discussed which would eliminate the need for a controversial soakway at Galway Educate Together National School in Newcastle in the city.

Newcastle Combined Community Association argues that the soakway would involve a site on its property and not on property owned by the department.
