The Galway & Roscommon Education and Training Board has been given the green light for the expansion of its training centre in Galway City.
Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of Unit 1/2 at Mervue Business Park from Industrial to Education use.
The southern portion of this building is already occupied by the GRETB, and the application states that this would provide them with an additional nine workshops for training courses.
Alterations to be made to the building include adding new doors and windows to the northwestern side of the building, and a new gate on the rear enclosed yard.
Other works involved in the project will involve providing additional parking spaces, and a covered bicycle stand.

Planning permission for the development was granted by Galway City Council with a total of 11 conditions attached,
