Galway Bay fm - Galway Talks - with John MorleyMorley's Mouthfuls - This week on Galway TalksMorley's Mouthfuls Traffic was again a big issue this week on Galway Talks, but it was traffic safety, not congestion, that dominated.

Galway Bay fm - Galway Talks - with John MorleyMorley's Mouthfuls - This week on Galway TalksThere's nothing quite like an election looming and the budget in the offing to make the work of a journalist more exciting.
