Galway Bay fm newsroom - City councillors are to receive a report at their meeting at City Hall later today on the long awaited plan for coastal erosion works from Sailin to Silverstrand.
It comes as concerns have been raised around the validity of the original planning permission.
The long awaited project to tackle coastal erosion received approval from An Bord Pleanala in 2007.
Consultants later recommended a revised scheme which included a reduction in the footprint of the revetments to lessen the overall environmental impact.
A foreshore licence was then applied for to the Department.
A meeting at City Hall in April heard the department now has concerns about the validity of the original permission due to changes in legislation coupled with changes in the footprint of the original design.
It’s linked to a ruling by the ECJ in relation to the Lough Corrib site and the N6 outer bypass scheme.
