Galway Bay fm newsroom - The County Council has rejected calls for a feasibility study on the future of the western rail corridor.
A motion by Tuam area councillor Shaun Cunniffe, which was signed by a number of his council colleagues, called on the local authority to seek funding for a feasibility study with a view to possibly using the route as a greenway.
However, a counter motion brought by Councillor Billy Connelly suggested the council wait until the national rail review is completed first.
This motion was passed by the council by a majority of 24 to 15 votes.

The original motion calling for a feasibility study can be put back on the council agenda for consideration once the national rail review is completed.
