Mayo Charity Secures Derelict Houses
A registered charity in Mayo has secured three derelict houses, out of six vacant properties that were acquired by Mayo County Council during the construction of the Turlough to Westport dual carriageway in 2016/17.
The CEO of Mayo County Council, Kevin Kelly, confirmed the news at a recent monthly meeting, although the name of the charity has not been released yet.
The news was widely welcomed by all councillors.
Local councillor Peter Flynn had a motion to reinvest the sale proceeds of these properties into affordable or social homes, which was amended to apply to the three remaining properties.
According to Kevin Kelly, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) sold the homes to Mayo County Council under strict criteria.
