I don't think it would be a good spot for apartments considering the proximity to the noise of An Pucan, the back of O'Connells etc. but it feels like there is much more priority in the city to make more space for tourists and business to cater for them then there is for accommodating residents. Particularly anywhere close to the city centre. Eventually the place could become like downtown Dallas, Phoenix or Canary Wharf. Completely devoid of people in the quiet parts of the year with the locals then living further out and going to places closer to home. Oh and more relevant to the topic. A vinyl record cafe opened on Abbeygate. It looks pretty cool.

Probably no better location.

College Green and Foster Court are already pretty AirBnB heavy. Not sure about Lough Atalia or Bohermore. I'm guessing Bohermore still has some of the older people still living there.

On the corner where the "corner shop" was, opposite Cookes / Electric.... beside Finnegans. They seem to sell eco-friendly products and pay-by-weight products so you can refill your own containers with zero packaging waste. Something new for Galway!https://www.facebook.com/TheFillingStationGalway/

Looks like I can't share a screenshot but do a search on AirBnB and TripAdvisor for a slow month in the future for Galway City. Take a look at the Docks, Augustine, Middle St and Woodquay. Maybe that'll change with the upcoming permit requirement.
