Last September, Galway City Councillors voted by 17 to 1 in favour of a temporary two-way cycle lane along the Salthill prom. After 4 hours of debate on Monday evening, the Councillors changed their minds and voted 13 to 4 to revoke plans for the temporary 3 km cycle route. Those who voted against the plan cited concerns of local businesses, schools, residents and emergency services.
Mayor and Councillor for Galway City Central, Colette Connolly, is one of the 4 Councillors who did not want to revoke the plans. Mayor Connolly joined Tom to give her reaction to the decision and talk about where to go from here when it comes to cycling in Galway.
