THAW IMPROVES ROAD CONDITIONS ACROSS COUNTY
Date Published: 04-Jan-2008
Driving conditions across the county have improved with a thaw setting in.
Temperatures are expected to rise to between 6 and 9 degrees this afternoon and melt any remaining pockets of snow.
Snow showers at dawn left several inches of snow across the entire county, causing poor visibility and treacherous road conditions.
Tuam Gardai reported just one minor crash with no serious damage done.
Gardai in Clifden are warning that although the snow is melting motorists should still drive with extreme caution.
The roads around Galway city, Gort, Loughrea and Ballinasloe are all reported to be clearing with most of the snow melting by now.

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.
