Balla and Ballinrobe marts set to reopen this week

TWO Mayo livestock marts will reopen for business this week, Aurivo Co-Op has announced.

The marts in Balla and Ballinrobe were closed last week following an accident at Mohill mart the previous weekend in which a man was injured by a bull.

The Co-Op has confirmed that new health and safety procedures will apply at all marts.

It is understood that only mart staff will be allowed in the sales yard and new rules will apply in relation to customer access to other areas of the mart.
