CLAREGALWAY GETS LONG AWAITED EXTRA TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Date Published: 23-Jul-2008
It’s hoped a long awaited extra traffic light system to be installed in Claregalway will ease the gridlock in the village.
The new lights are to be placed at the exit from the Oranmore Road onto the main Galway Tuam road the N-17
Local Councillor Jarlath McDonagh is welcoming the plans saying they will be of benefit to all motorists, as Claregalway is now possibly Ireland’s busiest village.
The Fine Gael councillor says motorists trying to exit onto the N-17 at Claregalway will no longer have to rely on the good will of those using the main road.
While the by-pass is no longer a runner design plans were sanctioned this week for an inner relief road and Councillor McDonagh says any traffic alleviation measures are to be welcomed.

A date will be set next October for the trial of a 52-year old Connemara man, who is charged with assaulting traditional Irish musician Noel Hill five years ago.
Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
