Refurbishment of major Mayo town building intended to be completed this year

COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (MARCH 25 EDITION)

The refurbishment of the old courthouse will be completed this year, according to the top council official for the Claremorris municipal district, of which Ballyhaunis is part.

“In relation to the old courthouse, we will be making arrangements to have the work tendered and carried out as soon as possible,” explained Padraic Flanagan. “It’s our intention that this would proceed during this year.”

The allocation from the Department will cover most of the cost, he added.

“There may be a small contribution required from the council depending on costs but this is not certain at this stage.”
