Looks like this development is getting the green light. Will be handy for NUIG students https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2022/11/08/dunnes-fails-to-stop-student-accommodation-scheme-in-galway/

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/124345149#Comment_124345149 Ya I'm all for incentivizing like that. I think it's massively underused. But the other couple of posters seemed to want existing privately owned developments to be replaced. You'd need some crazy rates for the owners to decide it's more cost effective to raze it and start again with something slightly different. I just can't see how it could work without peoples hand being forced.

2nd floor is coming along - every day this week see a change
