The Mayor of Galway has hit out at Galway City Council over repeat delays to long-awaited sports facilities in Kingston.

There’s plans for new facilities – like hockey and multi-sport pitches, as well as a playground – as part of a masterplan being planned since 2017.

But constant delays to the project have been the source of major discontent, and it’s now been revealed it’ll be the end of next year before planning permission is sought.

At City Hall this week, Mayor Peter Keane asked if a start could at least be made on the hockey pitch at Millars Lane in the meantime – but the answer was no.

He’s been speaking to David Nevin about the situation.
