To carry out the following: construct an agricultural shed which will include bull pens

Seamus Keady has applied to Galway County Council for permission to build an agricultural shed at Seanadh Gharráin in Spiddal, Co. Galway. The proposal includes bull pens, cattle cubicles with an effluent slatted tank and creep area, a feed passage, external adjoining cattle‑holding/handling facilities, a concrete apron and a separate dungstead, together with all associated site works. In addition, the applicant seeks full planning permission to retain the existing horse stable shed on the same site.

The application was submitted on 7 May 2026 and received a conditional decision code from the council. The decision is due by 1 July 2026, but the council has already decided on 26 June 2026. Galway County Council will consider whether the proposed works comply with local planning policies and environmental requirements.

The proposal follows other recent applications in the area, such as the Toberbrackan Clarinb project. While final approval is not yet confirmed, it is expected to be reviewed against relevant guidelines before a definitive ruling is issued.
