Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion

I thank the witnesses for their time today. I want to follow up on the Gluas project and the Galway transport strategy. Obviously, there are significant opportunities for Galway. The outcome of the feasibility study was extremely positive. It has been mentioned that we must wait until the transport strategy is updated. That is contingent on when we might get a decision on the Galway ring road. There is no exact timeline on that and there is no certainty with it either. There is a concern that it could drag on for a longer period and hold up important projects like this. Is any option available to the NTA to update that transport strategy in the absence of the ring road being completed?
