City council spent €12m on land which may not be suitable for housing

Galway Bay fm newsroom - It’s been revealed the city council has an outstanding loan of €12m on a site on which no housing may ever be built.

The site at Kerraun, on the west side of the city, was purchased for housing over a decade ago – but questions have been raised over the potentially prohibitive costs of building.

The situation is further complicated as the 3 hectare site is set to be severely impacted by the proposed Galway City Outer Bypass.
