Galway Bay fm newsroom - A church in Rossaveal has been taken off the County Council's Register of Protected structures following a local campaign.
Seipéal Cill Treasa, a romanesque building, was built in 1933 but has fallen into a state of disrepair.
Locals requested that the building, which they say does not hold any real historical significance, should be removed from the RPS - and County Councillors have agreed.
The move makes it easier for the local community to carry out renovations at the church.
