Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway County Councillors have been briefed on a new levy that is to be applied to some derelict sites from next year onwards.
During a discussion at County Hall last evening, Councillor Jim Cuddy said that people who bought houses in certain estates found that other homes in the estate were turned into social units - which devalued the private residences.
Athenry Oranmore area Cllr Cuddy says private home owners can have their properties devalued overnight in this situation.
