Ring welcomes funding for Mulranny and Foxford projects

Minister of State for Tourism & Sport Michael Ring this week has welcomed the announcement of funding in the sum of €800,000 on the N59 at Mulranny and of €30,000 for a pedestrian crossing in Foxford. Speaking about the funding for Mulranny, Minister Ring said: “This funding has been provided so that work can continue on the footpaths and for enhancement works which Mayo County Council are carrying out at the present time. This is something that the people of Mulranny have been looking to obtain for many years and I have made many representations in this case. This is great news for Mulranny, it will mean greater safety for the residents and I again welcome this announcement.” Also welcoming the announcement of funding for Foxford, Ring said: “I am delighted with this announcement of funding for Foxford town centre. It is very difficult for people to get across the road at times at this location and I am sure the people of Foxford will welcome the new pedestrian crossing to the town centre. It is hoped that work will be completed this year.”
