The green light has been given for a major upgrade to the entrance to Galway Clinic in Doughiska.
The works would include road realignment, a mini-roundabout, and significant upgrades to the pedestrian paths.
City planners have now given the go ahead subject to routine conditions.

If they chose to do so, an appeal can be taken with An Bord Pleanala within the coming weeks.
