Decision to transfer ownership of field near Tuam Stadium delayed
Galway Bay fm newsroom – The delay in sorting out legal and financial issues surrounding the transfer of Browne’s Field beside Tuam Stadium to local residents and the GAA has been described as “frustrating” at a meeting of the Town council.
Council official Evan Molloy said the legal terms of a lease need to be “thrashed out” between the groups involved.
Mayor Imelda Kelly said she had been told that the delay was because County Council wanted money for it and the Tuam Stadium Committee were not coming up with this.
Mayor Kelly added that if the matter was not resolved by their April meeting it will never be done and Cllr. Eamon Kitt said he feels that money was holding it up and he heard mention of a sum of €5,000.
Cllr. Bane proposed that a 3 member sub-committee should met with the GAA and the Residents representatives on this Friday to try and resolve the matter and this was seconded by Cllr.Tom Reilly.
Evan Molloy of Galway Co. Council re-iterated that the Council and other parties would have to enter into a legal lease and there may be costs attached to this.
