€1bn transport hub plans for city

THE details of how €1 billion will be spent creating a west of Ireland transport hub in a revitalised Galway city have been released.

Just as work on Eyre Square finally comes to an end, the prospect of eight years of major construction in the city centre is now looming for the City of the Tribes.

The plan involves a radically redeveloped Ceannt Station, which will sit in a City quarter surrounded by 800 new affordable houses.
