Mayo facility reopened following significant upgrade
The Ballyhaunis playground on the grounds of the Friary is open to the public again after extensive works were carried out.
The Ballyhaunis playground on the grounds of the Friary is open to the public again after extensive works were carried out with €75,000 from the Community Recognition Fund administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development. The Fund acknowledges local communities that have received large numbers of Ukrainian refugees as well as asylum seekers.
“This is the first opportunity the Council has had to carry out major works at the Friary Grounds playground since it was opened in 2006,” explained Padraic Flanagan, chief executive of the Claremorris Municipal District at Mayo County Council.
“The works were supervised by the Council’s Executive Parks Superintendent Peter Gill with the co-operation of the Abbey Partnership and Trust and Claremorris municipal district staff,” explained Mr Flanagan.
