Galway City Council has unveiled its ambitions to generate an additional €39m over the next five years for investment in housing, tourism, arts, sports, and amenity and recreation infrastructure across the city.

The Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as amended), makes specific provision that elected members of a local authority may pass a formal resolution to vary the basic rate of the Local Property Tax for their administrative area by a percentage known as the local adjustment factor. At the meeting set by Galway City Council to consider this matter, the members may set a local adjustment factor within the range +/- 15% of the basic rate, or, may decide not to adjust the basic rate.

Pursuant to the requirements of section 177AE (4)(a) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) notice is hereby given that Galway City Council proposes to seek approval from An Bord Pleanala to carry out the following development at the Dyke Road, Galway.
