Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Seanad has heard that the people of Ballinasloe are ready to once again fight an attempt to build a waste transfer station in the town.
The matter was raised by Senator Aisling Dolan, following the recent advertisement of plans to lodge a fresh application.
The latest application will be the third attempt by Bruscar Bhearna Teoranta to gain a permit to operate a waste transfer facility at Pollboy.
In January of this year, Galway County Council refused an application from the firm.
While in late 2017, a permit was granted by the local authority - but this decision was later overturned following a High Court action taken by Ballinasloe residents.
Speaking in the Seanad, Fine Gael Senator Aisling Dolan said they're ready to fight the latest application - as Ballinasloe town just isn't a suitable location.
