Councillor Donal Lyons says just this week, the body has refused plans for a 71 home development in Knocknacarra.

He says over the past six months, decisions by An Bord Pleanala have de-railed plans for around 170 new homes, many of which would be social homes.

Speaking to Galway Talks, Councillor Lyons says a common reason given is proposed developments having no access to public transport.

He argues these decisions will have serious ramifications going forward.
