Planning application 2660796

A planning application has been lodged with Galway County Council under reference 2660796. The proposal, submitted by Pauline Skehill, seeks to construct a new gymnasium and multipurpose indoor training facility on the grounds of Killimordaly GAA Club in Laragh, Attymon, Athenry, Co Galway. The application includes plans for a new effluent system, service connections and all ancillary works required for the development.

The council received the pre‑validation application on 21 May 2026, with a decision deadline set for 15 July 2026. At present the council’s records show the status as “not recorded”, indicating that the application is still pending review. No further details on the projected cost, design or timeline have been released by the council.

The facility would be situated within the club’s existing grounds, potentially providing a modern indoor training venue for local sports teams and community groups. The application is part of the council’s broader planning framework for sports and recreation infrastructure in the area, although no explicit policy statement accompanies this particular submission.

Residents and club members awaiting the council’s decision can monitor the progress through the Galway County Council planning portal, where the application file and any subsequent updates will be posted. The council will consider the proposal against local planning guidelines and any relevant environmental or community impact assessments before making a final determination.
