Renewed hope for solution to repeat flooding at Kylemore Bridge

There's hope in Connemara that things are at least moving in the right direction to solve the long-running issue of flooding at Kylemore Bridge.

It follows a high-level meeting that brought together Galway County Council, a range of local stakeholders, environmental groups, and organisations like the NPWS.

Also in attendance at the locally-arranged meeting was a group that took legal action against emergency dredge works carried out in 2023.

The aim of the gathering was simple - for all parties to try and find common ground to advance a permanent solution to continuous flooding, that is often dangerous and impassable.
