New apartments planned for Mayo town

COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (JULY 15 EDITION)

A planning application for the development of four two-bed apartments on a site on Barrack Street could go some way to easing local housing needs.

The developers of the site, an old structure with handsome stone walls, announced in May their intention to apply for planning permission.

This follows plans announced by developer Kaizen Project Management Co for ten apartments on the site of the former Johnston’s Machinery on Knox St.
