Coillte urged to reengage with community on Portumna Forest Park

There's a call for state-agency Coillte to re-engage with the local community on the future of Portumna Forest Park.

Galway East TD Louis O' Hara says modest improvements wanted by locals could still go ahead, after Coillte announced it was not moving foward with a development plan.

The plans were unveiled in 2023 but proved controversial, with some locals claiming there was a glaring lack of engagement.

Sinn Fein Deputy O' Hara says there are certain amenities that are universally supported - and these should be acted on.
