Prime Mayo town centre property changes hands

A prime commercial property in Castlebar town centre has changed hands.

The former restaurant and cafe at Shamble Street, within close proximity to Market Square, has been sold by Thomas Collins Auctioneers.

It's the second property to be purchased at the location in recent months, the former charity shop nearby is also under new ownership.

Renovation works are currently taking place on its interior and exterior ahead of the anticipated opening of a new outlet.

However, details are not yet available in regard to the new property owners nor the business planning to open there.
