Approval expected shortly for major overhaul of Loughrea Town Hall

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Final approval to proceed with a major overhaul of Loughrea Town Hall is expected in the very near future.

That's according to Galway East TD Sean Canney, who says the long-awaited project is crucial for the future growth of the town.

€1.6m in funding was allocated towards the project from the Department of Community and Rural Development in 2019.

The vision is to create a ground floor theatre and cultural centre, as well as an enterprise and tourism hub.

Deputy Canney says a revised budget has been submitted to the Department - and he expects a positive response very soon.
