Claregalway gets flood funding
Thu, Feb 19, 2026
Minister of State Noel Grealish has welcomed the allocation of €1.5 million to tackle flooding in the village of Claregalway.
This funding has been allocated towards the alleviation of flooding that regularly occurs in the centre of the village during heavy rainfall. It has been allocated under Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) grant allocations to local authorities for national roads in 2026.
“This issue has for years been causing major problems for the people of Claregalway and for commuters who have to travel through the village to get to and from work,” says Grealish, Galway West TD and member of the Regional Independents Group in coalition government.
