Galway County Council is 'not blocking' a delayed wastewater treatment scheme for Clarinbridge and Craughwell.
That was the message from County Hall this week, with concerns consistently being raised over the funding and other conditions required.

She says the almost four-year delay should not have been allowed to happen as projects like these are crucial in boosting housing supply
