“Major improvements had been made to the two car parks recently but there was a serious safety issue for pedestrians using the car parks. Now with the bollards and defined coloured path ways it will be much safer for all,” he said.

The Fine Gael councillor also thanked Mayo County Council engineers and the outdoor staff for carrying out the work.
