Bradley Bytes – A sort of political column by Dara Bradley

Residents of Shantalla have turned up the heat on Galway City Councillors, ahead of a crucial vote on a proposed land transfer to the HSE.

Two petitions are circulating that heaps pressure on elected members, especially six councillors in City Central.

In 2013, Galway City Council transferred public amenity land in Shantalla to the HSE. This was supposed to be for six months, to allow a temporary helipad at University Hospital Galway.

Twelve years later, the HSE still hasn’t returned the land; and it has finally requested a permanent transfer.

This will require approval from councillors. On one hand, they are being told it was a vital piece of infrastructure for healthcare; only a heartless monster........
