Episode Details

Galway’s dream greenway is stalled in chaos as TII guts the plan, prioritizing Athlone to Shannonbridge while ditching the Galway leg — sparking fury from county officials calling it “madness” and “hugely disappointing.” With a 200-km project spanning five counties, land grabs, environmental hurdles, and funding limits force a phased rollout — but locals are furious after years of studies and zero progress, questioning wasted taxpayer cash and neglected footpaths. Landowners also rally against compulsory purchases that could split family farms, fueling debate over priorities. Yet, there’s a silver lining: Galway might finally get control over its own stretch, offering a glimmer of local agency amid the gridlock.
