Action sought on proposed education facility for east Mayo

A Mayo TD has raised with the Minister for Higher Education James Lawless the need for the provision of a further education and training centre in Ballyhaunis.

Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh stated: "I have been asking for this for years.

"I raised it a number of times with the previous minister and was told that SOLAS would look into it.

"Ballyhaunis is regularly cited as the most multicultural town in Ireland. It needs a facility like this as an economic driver.

"I urge the minister to engage with the local community there to ensure the training centre is provided."
