I have been informed that Galway County Council have had a budget of €64,000 made available under the Percent for Art Scheme in 2019 to enhance the M17 / M18 with Artistic features.
The Scheme is a means of supporting Artists and providing enhancement to public contracts.
‘I am concerned that this funding is not being used to enhance the M17 / 18 Motorway through the County’.
‘I am asking Galway County Council to expedite their proposals to assist artists and also use the M17 /M18 as a showcase for Art in our County’ .
The M17 / M18 motorway is a gamechanger for Galway County Council and it is important that the motorway delivers an interesting and engaging experience for those who travel it daily.
