Concerns over protection of ballyglunin heritage

CONCERNS over the impact a road alignment scheme in Abbeyknockmoy will have on the heritage of nearby Ballyglunin have been raised with Galway Co Council.
A delegation from Ballyglunin Community Development Company made a presentation to councillors on Tuesday where they highlighted the issues surrounding the N63 road widening scheme that will connect Abbey to the new M17 motorway.
The €5.5m scheme is due to commence later this year and will include a footpath and cycle lane along the three-kilometre stretch of road. It will also involve the raising and replacement of Ballyglunin’s Railway Bridge.
