The Kilconnell Hall Committee has received conditional planning permission from Galway County Council to carry out a redevelopment of the hall on Corraneena Kilconnell in Ballinasloe, County Galway. The application, submitted on 2 July 2026, proposes that part of the existing structure be demolished and that the hall be reconstructed and extended to provide a new meeting area for the community.

The council’s decision, recorded under reference 26165, was made on 25 August 2026 and carries a decision code of CONDITIONAL. This means that the approval is subject to a number of conditions that the applicant must satisfy before construction can commence. The conditions are designed to ensure that the redevelopment meets local planning standards and that any potential impacts on the surrounding area are managed appropriately.

The Kilconnell Hall Committee is the applicant for the project, and the site is located in Corraneena Kilconnell, Ballinasloe. The redevelopment is intended to enhance the hall’s capacity and functionality for community use, providing a larger and more flexible space for meetings and events.
