Tuam councillors call on IDA to support business in the town

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The IDA has been urged to provide sufficient supports to key employers in Tuam as fears grow concerning the impact of Brexit.

Local councillor Donagh Killilea told a district meeting that many businesses such as Valeo and JFC rely on exports and need to be Brexit-ready.

He queried the future plan for the site in Tuam and said the town has one of the highest broadband speeds which is a minimum requirement for an IDA site.

Fine Gael councillor Tom Mc Hugh said that at a previous meeting attended by an IDA delegation some years ago, he had proposed that plans are drafted in a bid to have a current permission available.
