That's according to Senator Sean Kyne, who says he has received confirmation of the meeting from Saolta chief Tony Canavan.

Last month, Senator Kyne raised the issue of the long-awaited new emergency department in the Seanad.

He slammed the HSE for an "abject failure" to advance the project despite the pressing need for a new unit for years.

Senator Kyne pointed out that a planning application was supposed to be lodged in late 2018, yet we're now in 2021 and nothing has happened.

Senator Kyne told Galway Talks a high-level meeting will now take place on March 2nd to discuss the plans:

95.8 MHz Clifden & West Connemara
97.4 MHz South Connemara & Aran Islands
96.8 MHz County Galway
97.4 MHz East Galway
97.2 MHz Gort Area
