Eamon Bradshaw says it's impossible to provide space at the docks for such accommodation due to restricted space.
A feasibility study has been completed on the proposal to bring barges to Galway Harbour to provide short-term student accommodation.

The study has been sent to NUIG for consideration.
However, Eamon Bradshaw from Galway Harbour Company told Keith Finnegan that it's currently not a possibility at Galway's inner docks due to a lack of space.
