Proposals for the Galway City Museum expansion and enhancement project have been submitted to Galway City Council for planning permission.  The project involves the refurbishment of Comerford House, a protected structure, which adjoins the Spanish Arch and historic city walls, both of which form part of a national monument.  A new museum building is to be carefully positioned over a site of archaeological importance adjacent to Comerford House, to provide contemporary exhibition spaces for the Museum.
