My Department and Galway County Council have been in discussion regarding this proposed roads project insofar as it may impact on areas designated for conservation purposes under European law. The County Council has prepared a detailed document in this regard and my Department has provided appropriate advice and guidance. The European Commission has agreed to meet with officials from Galway County Council in regard to the project during the coming weeks. It has not yet been decided who from my Department will attend this meeting.
