CALL FOR TIGHTER SECURITY AT REPOSSESSED GALWAY PROPERTIES

Date Published: 25-Jul-2012

A Galway TD is calling on banks to tighten up on security at repossessed houses throughout the county in a bid to stamp out anti-social behaviour.

Galway West Independent TD Noel Grealish says vacant houses are falling into disrepair and some have become the scene of "wild" social gatherings.

He has highlighted the urgent need to secure these buildings with the main banks and has also raised the need for legislation to ensure banks take responsibility.

Speaking on Galway Talks, Noel Grealish spoke about a house in the county which is of huge concern to local residents.
