Cycling campaigners are calling for urgent safety "fixes" to be introduced at dangerous roundabouts across the city.

It's after a cyclist was seriously injured after colliding with a truck at the Skerritt Roundabout near ATU Galway on Tuesday evening.

That roundabout is set to be redesigned under the ongoing Bus Connects Galway project, set to get underway in 2026.

But Galway Cycling Campaign argues there are many other dangerous roundabouts across the city that put vulnerable road users in direct conflict with motorists.

Chair of the group, Kevin Jennings, has been speaking to David Nevin - and says the recent accident at Skerritt Roundabout is every cyclists worst nightmare.
