A tsunami of objections has been lodged against a planned student apartment project on the Coolough Road.
The development would have 84 apartments across 7 blocks - with a total of almost 600 bed spaces.
The site is located near the junction of the Coolough Road and the Dyke Road - and a decision on the plans is due in the very near future.
If and when completed, the development would be up to five storeys tall, overlooking the River Corrib.
Locals held a significant protest late last year, claiming the plans for a high-rise, high-density development that dwarfs nearby estates is completely inappropriate.
This latest plan comes hot on the heels of recent approval from An Bord Pleanala for a separate student block on a site across the road.
Locals are deeply unhappy about that - pointing out that between both plans, the transient student population would significantly outnumber the permanent local population.
Those arguments - and many more - are borne out in what can only be described as a "tsunami" of objections at City Hall against the plans.
Many are keen to stress that they're not against housing on these sites - but just not of this scale and nature.
