Sligo regeneration projects
Senator Comiskey welcomes €2 million for Sligo’s O’Connell Street and the Crann Nua community centre, including plans for partial pedestrianisation.
I welcome the news today that €2 million has been allocated for O'Connell Street in Sligo and a new community centre, Crann Nua, in Cranmore. It is very welcome news. Many calls have been made in the past few years to pedestrianise O'Connell Street in Sligo. Extra money will be allocated for the paving of the street and the provision of single-lane traffic. The street is the centre and heart of Sligo town, where most people do their shopping, and it will great be great to see it being partially pedestrianised and the money being spent. The people of Cranmore need the community centre. The community has done a significant amount of work in the past few years in a crowded space and the new community centre will make a huge difference to them. It is good news for Sligo.
