About this Event
Galway Chamber, is committed to regeneration that creates the right environment for thriving communities across both city and county. Building on the recent launch of its Adaptive reuse in Galway Report, the Chamber is convening a panel of experts to explore the unseen potential within existing buildings and streetscapes, and what practical steps can turn these spaces and places into new homes and vibrant neighbourhoods.
Moderated by Karen Ronan (CEO, Galway Chamber), the panel will bring together perspectives from planning, construction, conservation, and architecture.
Speakers include;
Justin Molloy - Director, Construction Industry Federation (CIF) Western Region.
Michael Scott - Executive Architectural Conservation Officer, Galway City Council.
Seán Dockry – MD at Seán Dockry and Associates (Architects), and
Gus McCarthy - Director, MKO Planning and Environmental Consultants
Together they will explore how adaptive reuse, conservation, and planning innovation can address vacancy, provide new housing options, and strengthen neighbourhoods across the city and county. Tackling these challenges requires joined-up thinking, a shared vision, and proactive leadership. That is why Galway Chamber is calling for a unified regeneration strategy, led by a dedicated coordinator, to bring vacant, derelict, and underused properties back into viable and sustainable use. A founding partner of The Galway Charter, the event will open up further discussion on what practical steps we can take to support the faster, viable delivery of housing and urban/rural regeneration.
