Sligo firm plans second phase of Athlone residential development, boosting housing supply
Irish IndependentLO·IE·about 17 hours ago
Michael D Higgins and family, along with over 30 local residents, have lodged objections to a proposed 39-unit housing development near their Galway home, citing road safety concerns. The development is part of Ireland's broader housing supply push, but local opposition highlights NIMBY tensions that could slow delivery. Outcome uncertain pending planning decision.
