Galway Bay fm newsroom - Minister of State and Galway East TD Ciaran Cannon is urging Galway County Council to apply for a new greenway funding scheme.
The new application process has been opened this week following the announcement of a 4.5 million euro allocation from the Transport Minister Shane Ross.
The scheme is designed to help local authorities improve projects through the planning stage - so they will be in a strong position when major greenway funding is next made available.
Applications for the scheme must be submitted by the end of 2020 - ahead of the next funding round for greenway projects which begins in 2022.
Minister Cannon says it's a great opportunity to bring local projects forward.
