UHG RESPONDS TO CLLR CUDDY’S PARKING PROPOSAL
Date Published: 23-Jun-2008
Management at University Hospital Galway say they recognise the difficulties facing patients and visitors at the hospital regarding parking, and are trying to address the issue.
The comments are made in a letter to Councillor Jim Cuddy, who lambasted the hospital last week for not responding to his suggestion about outpatient parking.
Councillor Cuddy wrote to the Hospital Manager in April and May proposing that a portion of the hospital carpark be reserved for outpatients.
He only received a reply from hospital management last Friday [20/6] which states that there is a Traffic Management Strategy for the UHG site which is being implemented on a phased basis.
Councillor Cuddy says while the letter generally refers to parking at UHG it does not address the problem of outpatient parking.

Concerns have been raised over traffic delays at the railway crossing in Oranmore.
Councillor Jim Cuddy says he has received many representations from local motorists who have been experiencing extended delays.
He says the closed barrier can sometimes cause a traffic tailback as far as the roundabout near the Maldron hotel.
Cllr Cuddy has brought the matter to the attention of Iarnrod Eireann and has asked for an explanation as to why the crossing is closed for so long.
