Galway City Council and Galway Harbour Company Joint Statement
Judicial review proceedings brought by cycling advocate Shane Foran against the Galway Harbour Extension have been withdrawn.
Galway City Council and the Galway Harbour Company have welcomed the decision, which follows constructive engagement between Mr Foran, Galway City Council and Galway Harbour Company.
The discussions focused on the City Council’s wider transport functions and its ongoing commitment to improving cycling facilities across Galway City, including within the Galway Harbour area. They also reflected broader ambitions to deliver a more connected, accessible and sustainable transport network for all users.
Galway City Council and Galway Harbour Company remain committed to delivering the harbour extension, alongside improvements to public transport, walking and cycling infrastructure, in line with the Galway Transport Strategy.
The withdrawal brings all judicial review proceedings against the project to a close, allowing it to progress towards design and delivery. The project represents a significant investment in Galway’s future and will support economic development, enhanced port facilities, and the continued regeneration of the city’s docklands area.
