An Coimisiún Pleanála has approved the demolition of the Ceol na Mara Hotel in An Spidéal, Galway, for a mixed-use development of retail and residential units.
The project replaces the old hotel with new buildings, despite concerns about its impact on the local Irish-speaking community. The development aims to provide commercial and housing spaces in the An Spidéal area.
Planning permission was granted following evaluations by An Coimisiún Pleanála.
The project reflects ongoing urban development efforts in Galway, balancing growth with cultural considerations.
