Galway City Council is currently progressing the delivery of Affordable Housing.

Schemes where Affordable Housing is available will be publicly advertised across the Local Authority website, local newspapers and social media.

Local authorities may offer choice to approved housing and transfer applicants in selecting a new home. Applicants can express an interest in houses which are advertised.

Throughout the year community and business groups, residents’ associations, colleges, and schools help with keeping our beautiful City tidy by engaging in community clean ups.

The definition of litter is quite wide and extends beyond casual pieces of paper or cigarette ends to anything large or small, which is or is likely to become, unsightly.

You must pay a litter fine to the local authority.

Room for a Student Local Authority Tenancies Scheme is a government initiative where local authority tenants are permitted to let out a room or rooms in their homes to third level students with the prior permission of the local authority, as the landlord.

You must apply to the local authority for a permit to use temporary signage to advertise events.

The Tidy Towns competition is a national competition organised by the Department of Rural and Community Development.

Galway City Council is seeking to increase the number of Affordable and Social housing units through various delivery mechanisms, including the acquisition of turnkey units on greenfield/brownfield and/or unfinished housing development sites which are zoned residential.
