View serviceWhat is being built in Galway
Galway combines a long established medical device manufacturing base with industrial new build and a growing residential pipeline around the city and Oranmore.
Ballybrit and Oranmore carry most of the industrial activity, while the residential programme closer to the city has picked up steadily.
Demand here is narrower than Dublin but considerably less contested, so good people tend to be placed faster.
