Failure to deliver affordable housing across Galway dominates council meeting

The failure to build any affordable housing across Galway over the past decade has dominated a council meeting.

But a special meeting of all 39 county councillors held in Oranmore-Maree heard it's not due to lack of will on behalf of the local authority.

Instead, the finger was pointed at Government policy - which makes it effectively impossible to build affordable housing developments.

The only affordable housing delivered in Galway in more than ten years is a handful of homes in Claregalway.

Councillor Karey McHugh-Farag proposed they write to Government - and she explained to David Nevin what they're asking for.
