COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (MARCH 3 EDITION)
Congratulations to Ballyhaunis-based soccer player Tarik Yassin, who is into his second year at modular building firm Vision Built in Tubbercurry.
A former professional footballer who’s played with Ballyhaunis Town FC and Snugboro United, Tarik commutes daily to Tubbercurry to work on key modular-build projects like a structure recently supplied to St Jarlath’s College in Tuam.
Part of the Sisk Group, Vision Built’s motto is ‘Building the future - offsite’. It supplies pre-made structures to a range of state bodies including the Health Service Executive, Office of Public Works and the Department of Education. Built from steel frames, the buildings are then delivered to clients’ sites.
Moroccan native Tarik, who sought asylum in Ireland in 2023 with his family, was formerly a player with two Middle Eastern clubs. One of them is Abu Dhabi-based Al Wahda Football Club which competes in the UAE Pro League. He’s also played for Saudi-based club Sitani and over a number of years on the professional circuit met major figures like Diego Maradona while playing tournaments in the Middle East and Europe.
