Call for €112k in levies collected on former Dawn Dairies site to be ring-fenced for local community

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A city councillor says €112 thousand collected in vacant site levies on the former Dawn Dairies site in Renmore should be ring-fenced for projects in the local community.

The call comes from Councillor Alan Cheevers, who also recently argued the same should be done with €400 thousand in levies collected from the former Corrib Great Southern site.

He feels there's been chronic underinvestment in amenities on the east side of the city and this combined €500 thousand could help see that situation corrected.

Councillor Cheevers outlines how this money could be spent in the local area.
