Galway County Council project transforms derelict Ballinasloe town centre site

Thu, Apr 03, 2025

A landmark building in Ballinasloe is set to be transformed to include a new community facility as part of a 16-unit residential housing development in the centre of the East Galway town.

Galway County Council has signed contracts with Custy Construction Ltd and OBFA Architects for the delivery of the scheme, which is being financed under the Government’s Housing For All programme and directly by the Local Authority.

Work on the Dunlo Hill development includes the renovation and extension of the existing terraced buildings and the conversion of the currently derelict “Dooley’s Pub” from a public house to include a community facility.
