MAJOR TUAM HOUSING DEVELOPMENT STOPPED IN ITS TRACKS

Date Published: 29-Jan-2009

Plans for a major housing development in Tuam have been shot down by Galway County Council.

Tom Lavelle and Joe Dilleen were hoping to build 108 houses and a creche at Killaloonty on the Weir Road.

However county planners have turned down the proposal stating that the development would be premature because of the deficiency in the Weir Road / N17 road junction.
