Episode Details

Wastewater delays in Craughwell and Clarinbridge are finally getting attention as Galway County Council weighs in on funding a €30 million fix — but with a hefty price tag and limited local coffers, the burden may fall to the state. Uisce Éireann aims to bring in a consultant by 2026 to design and deliver the projects as part of a national push, while local leaders like Martina Kinane push back, arguing the utility — not the council — should shoulder the cost. Officials insist the council can’t realistically contribute, even risking €5 million in future liabilities, and demand full government grant funding. Talks with Uisce Éireann and the Department of Housing are set to shape the next steps — and whether these villages will finally get the infrastructure they’ve been waiting for.
