Cheevers calls for urgent review of all gullies across city
Thu, Sep 17, 2026
Councillor Alan Cheevers is calling on Galway City Council, in conjunction with Irish Water, to carry out a full and urgent review of all road gullies across Galway City, including those on main roads and within council-managed estates.
With weather conditions becoming increasingly unpredictable, and the city experiencing periods of extremely heavy rainfall, he feels that it is vital that all drainage infrastructure is operating at full capacity.
“We have already seen flash flooding in a number of areas across the east side of the city, with reports from some estates of sewage coming onto roads as a result of overflowing or inadequate drainage.
