Herterich Quinn calls for land purchase
Athenry area councillor Shelly Herterich Quinn has called on the Galway County Council to purchase the derelict lands at Caheroyan, Athenry for affordable housing under pillar three of the Rebuilding Ireland Plan.
Submitting the motion at Tuesday’s Athenry municipal district meeting at County Hall, Cllr Quinn said; “In 2005, planning was granted for 27 houses.
