Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

My Department has not received a proposal in respect of  the provision of 42 units of accommodation on the site of the old convent in Clifden. I understand that an approved housing body is currently carrying out a feasibility assessment on such a proposal and is liaising with Galway County Council in this regard. If any such proposal is received by my Department, it will be assessed in the normal manner.
