Crucial vote on Shantalla helipad plans to be held tomorrow

A crucial vote on a plan to build a permanent helipad at Shantalla Park is being held tomorrow.

The HSE wants to buy the land for around €700,000 from Galway City Council, to replace a temporary helipad with a permanent, upgraded structure.

It's also offering to contribute more than €1 Million to invest in the Shantalla area, to compensate for the loss of green space.

But local activists say they're tired of empty promises over the years, and just want to preserve Shantalla Park for future generations.
