Shantalla Park and the HSE Hospital Plan | Galway News
Description
University Hospital Galway’s major expansion is moving forward with plans for 300 new beds, a cancer center, and an upgraded ER — including a permanent helipad requiring land from Shantalla Park. After local backlash over rushed public consultation, the HSE has rescheduled feedback sessions for July 9th and 10th, while residents are organizing their own community meeting to push for a unified voice. Key concerns center on losing green space, with some councilors demanding clearer, separate discussions. The land sale faces a city council vote soon, with the HSE offering a hefty sum and promising to fund park restoration — a decision that could unlock the full project.
