Minister of State, Alan Dillon TD, has welcomed news that funding of €15,554 has been allocated for the refurbishment of a North Mayo playground.
Minister Dillon said: “I am delighted that this funding was allocated for the refurbishment of the community playground in Killala under the Capital Grant Scheme for Play and Recreation.
‘Funding of €500,000 was awarded for 28 playgrounds and play areas throughout the country. The benefits of outdoor play for children are well known. It is good for their health, they can make new friends, it inspires the imagination and brings excitement into young lives.
‘We want to see these upgrades so that our playgrounds are more accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable for all children.”
Minister Dillon added: “I want to congratulate Peter Gill, Executive Parks Superintendent and staff at Mayo County Council on their successful application and look forward to the completion of this project. I know this project will have a major impact on the vibrancy of the local community in Killala.”
