Marsh house set to reopen soon

Marsh House, the former municipal buildings of Castlebar Town Council, is set to reopen.

The historic building, at Newtown, has been allocated to a section of the water services department of Mayo County Council as its new headquarters.

Work is underway to ensure the transfer takes place within the coming weeks under the director of Paddy Mahon, director of services.

Marie Crowley, a former town clerk, will head up the administration section, with Iarla Moran leading the technical staff.

Up to 12 staff will be employed at Marsh House, with parking retained for staff use.
