Ballycroy National Park 'closed until further notice'

BALLYCROY National Park has announced within the past hour that it is closed until further notice.

The reason cited for the shutdown of the amenity this evening is 'circumstances outside our control'.

The Erris Times website is reporting that fire brigades are at the scene due to a fire in a plant room which was brought swiftly under control.

No further details are available.

A statement issued tonight said Ballycroy Visitor Centre should reopen tomorrow afternoon following the completion of essential maintenance works.

"Apologies for any inconvenience caused," the statement added.
