Public meeting over student accommodation development at Westside

A public meeting is to be held over the major student accommodation development at Westside

Galway City Council had recommended refusal of the seven-storey 240 bed project in 2022, but it was then approved by An Bord Pleanala.

It's being built on a section of the carpark at Westside Shopping Centre - and locals believe not every condition of planning is being adhered to.

A protest was held at City Hall over the controversial development last year, along with some well-attended public meetings.
