Engineer setting out the Manager’s opinion of the proposals, noting that ‘…it is very important that the view of Galway Bay be not obstructed by a high density of buildings. A certain number of buildings can be permitted, as there are certain sites on which the buildings will not add to the obstruction by reason of the fact that there is already an obstruction because of the contours of the grounds.  It will be difficult to restrict the building in their area as between different landowners….’ (19 September 1961).
