The green light has been given for the provision of the addition of almost 430 beds at the NUI Galway campus – but planners have ordered they cannot be used as holiday lettings during the summer months.

Local residents opposed the development on the grounds of potential noise levels but their appeal against the decision of Galway City Council to grant planning permission for the student accommodation proved unsuccessful.

The proposed development will comprise 429 number bed spaces, generally arranged in 57 units of six en suite bedrooms, 11 units of five en suite bedrooms and eight units of four en suite bedrooms, with communal living areas in each unit.

Great to see this going ahead. Having been homeless for guts of a month at the start of one of my years in Uni and had to commute from the guts of 100km away as well as having had to move mid year in both my first and second year I can see how much of an addition another 430 places will be.
