Galway County Council is being urged to review public lighting in Gort town, which has been described as inadequate.

Pedestrian-safety concerns are being raised as it’s claimed lighting is of poor qualit, with several lights hidden by overgrowth.

Councillor Gerry Finnerty brought forward a motion to call on the council to carry out a survey on the lights, however he was asked to determine which specific areas need attention.
