Episode Details

Galway’s long-delayed City Ring Road is finally fast-tracked as the first project labeled “critical infrastructure” under new legislation, clearing the way for faster approvals and shielding it from climate-based legal challenges. Despite 20 years of debate, supporters argue this move is essential to unlock vital transport upgrades and housing development, while critics warn environmental groups are still fighting back through judicial reviews and new legal hurdles that could bankrupt citizens. With over a billion dollars invested and construction restarting, the road’s 18-kilometer route could reshape Galway’s future — with a full transport strategy expected by 2027.
