Galway Bay fm newsroom - Leo Varadkar has outlined plans for a new environmentally friendly bus service for Galway - which he's describing as a 'Luas on Wheels.'
It comes as Galway's congestion issues are having a measurable impact on investment - and on the quality of life of thousands of commuters.
The Taoiseach is in Galway today for a series of official engagements and has spoken about a wide variety of issues which are hindering Galway's growth and development.
He's vowed that the city and county is set to benefit from the much-lauded Ireland 2040 plan.
Speaking about Galway's traffic woes, the Taoiseach says the government has a number of initiatives up its sleeve which will help to alleviate the problem.
He says one such solution is an environmentally friendly 'Bus Connex' service.
