Re: On Monday April 13, 2015, a delegation from Galway CoCo travelled to Brussells with a view to getting clarification regarding the possible application of Article 6.4 to the original Galway City Outer By-Pass Route. As part of the meeting, Michael Timmins Senior Engineer with Galway CoCo, informed the meeting attendees that the original route was one of several options that was examined and discounted early on in the process, before six route options were brought forward for public consultation in Feb 2015. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014, I would like to request all meeting information and correspondence between ARUP and the Galway CoCo, in the matter together with all correspondence details and reports including the decision process, describing how the decision was reached to eliminate the original Galway city Outer by-pass route. This decision was reportedly made in October 2014 according to Michael Timmins. However, X from ARUP had previously informed some members of the Galway N6 Action Group on March 27, 2015, that this decision had been made in November, 2014. Additionally, I also request that you provide a complete record of exchange with the National Roads Authority in relation to a course or courses of action to be taken following the judicial rulings that the planning approval granted in respect of part of the Galway City Outer Bypass was in contravention of environmental protection legislation. I am requesting all records of exchange detailing why the Council and the NRA did not re- submit planning permission for the original Galway City Outer Bypass under Article 6.4.
