Galway Bay fm newsroom – The Dáil has heard of the need for greater action on the “organised but uncontrolled” Salthill Sundays event.
The matter was raised by Deputy Catherine Connolly, who spoke of the unacceptable disruption and distress caused as thousands of cars descended on Salthill last Sunday.
She pointed out that one person had to be airlifted to hospital because of a lack of access to the area.
She claimed the issue is bigger than just the GardaÃ, and greater collaboration is needed with local authority management and the local community.
It comes as the Salthill Sundays Facebook page has confirmed that this Sunday’s event has been cancelled until further notice, pending a meeting with Mayor of Galway Mike Cubbard.
