Gerry Cuddy has lodged a new planning application with Galway County Council for the installation of a single enclosed passenger platform lift at Unit 3 of Carrowmoneash in Oranmore Business Park. The lift would connect the ground and first floors of the building. In addition to the lift, the application proposes alterations to the toilet areas, new external signage on the front elevation, and the fitting of external high‑level mechanical plant to the west elevation and grills. The mechanical plant is ancillary to the building’s internal air‑conditioning units.

The application was received by the council on 15 May 2026 and is currently listed as a new application. A decision is expected by 9 July 2026. The site address is Carrowmoneash, Oranmore Business Park, Unit 3, Oranmore, Co Galway, and the reference number for the file is 2660771.

The proposal is aimed at improving accessibility and updating the building’s facilities. The lift would provide a safe, enclosed means of travel between floors for passengers, while the toilet alterations and signage updates are intended to enhance user experience and compliance with current standards. The mechanical plant installation is designed to support the existing air‑conditioning system, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance.

The application is being considered by the planning authority, Galway County Council, which will assess the proposal against local planning policies and any relevant statutory requirements. The outcome will determine whether the lift and associated works can proceed as outlined.

For further details, see the Galway County Council planning file (reference 2660771).
