COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (JANUARY 27 EDITION)

Mayo County Council has engaged a local plant hire company for an archaeological dig to pave the way for the erection of a pedestrian bridge over the River Dalgan on Bridge Street in Ballyhaunis.

The long-planned bridge, which will facilitate the widening of Bridge Street, will be located inside the boundaries of the grounds of St Mary’s Abbey, a protected property listed by the National Monuments Service, hence the need for an archaeological examination prior to any construction works. 

The dig is set to commence on January 26th.
