In view of the urgency of this proposal as outlined to my Department by Galway County Council in October 1984 I approved a loan for the work on 5 December 1984. Incomplete plans for this proposal were submitted to my Department in July 1985. Additional information sought was received on September 23 1985 and approval issued on 18 November 1985. It is now a matter for the council to proceed with the necessary works.
