Galway Bay fm newsroom - There are plans to change a building at Forster Street in the city to facilitate the extension of a hostel.
The city council is assessing an application for planning permission to change part of the existing retail unit on the ground floor at the front of Kiltartan House into a dining area.
The changes at Kiltartan House would also include the provision of a new fire escape hallway and disabled toilet.
There would be provision for 25 new en-suite bedrooms at the first, second and third floors and a common room for Bunk Hostel.
