Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Following a recent procurement process, a firm of conservation architects has been appointed to complete a Conservation and Management Plan for the Moran’s Mill site at Bunadober, Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo.

The architects are currently in the research phase for the preparation of the Conservation and Management Plan. Once they have completed this, they will proceed with the direct consultation phase where they will meet with individual stakeholder groups to discuss relevant issues. They have indicated their intention to meet with the Lough Mask Heritage Group in early December.
