Minister Frank Feighan welcomed the funding for Mohill playground as well as €15,852 for Mitchell Curley playground in Sligo and €6,702 for the Church View playground in Boyle.

Locals have been asking for an upgrade to Mohill playground since 2019. The playground was built beside Mohill Fire Station in 2004.
