Images by Brian Arthur

Minister for Transport, Darragh O’Brien, has officially opened the Killaloe Bypass road project, a transformative 6.2km development which includes the first new vehicular bridge across the Shannon in more than three decades.

Seen in these images are Declan Burgess- Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council and Alan O’Callaghan Cathaoirleach of Clare County Council pictured with Adam O'Hora, Fiadh Kenny, Addie Maguire and Finn Murphy of Ballina National School, along with Ellie Mai O'Connell Power, Tadgh Furlong, Ellie Foley and Alex Short of the Killaloe boys National School and Convent Primary School to open the Killaloe Bypass Road project. 

Also pictured in later imagery is the Minister for Transport, Darragh O’Brien with Michael Hannon of Killaloe who is 104 years old.

This alternative route will take through traffic and HGVs out of both town centres, thereby significantly reducing congestion, protecting both heritage areas and providing a much-needed boost to the local economy.
