Galway Bay fm newsroom - Construction is to get underway on a new 50-bed ward block at Portiuncula Hospital in Ballinasloe this week.

The building will cost around €25m and is expected to be completed by the middle of next year.

The project has been planned for several years but encountered significant delays as a result of COVID-19.

Local TD Denis Naughten says additional capacity at Portiuncula is now more urgently required than ever before.
