The Land Development Agency (LDA) has officially launched plans for the €200m development of 750 homes on a 7.5 hectare site located close to Galway city centre with a public consultation.

The Sandy Quarter, as the LDA has dubbed the development, would see the mixed-tenure residences, which would include social and affordable housing, built on an industrial site and car park on Sandy Road in the city.
