Concerns raised over suggestions for Gort Lowlands Flood Relief Scheme

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Concerns have been raised over some suggestions being made under the long-awaited South Galway/Gort Lowlands Flood Relief Scheme.

It follows a public meeting held in Gort this week - organised by the County Council and attended by engineering consultants working on the project.

While no concrete plans are yet in place - Councillor Michael Fahy claims a suggestion was made that water from Derrybrien and the surrounding hinterland could be diverted to the Aggard Stream.

Councillor Fahy says while it is just a suggestion at this point - it should be taken off the table immediately as an option.
