Burtonport has also been successful and will get €2 million, following its receipt of funding of €3.1 million to improve infrastructure around the mainland harbour and amenities in Árainn Mhór in late 2019.

The Department of Agriculture is examining the option of breaking the link between prescribing and dispensing veterinary medicines in the implementation of a new EU directive which will place restrictions on the sale of certain products.
From January 2022, the new laws will require farmers to get prescription from vets to use antiparasitics (eg doses for treating worms/liver fluke) for livestock.
Currently, hundreds of trained ‘Responsible Persons’ provide a similar farm drug supply service to farmers at more than 900 licensed merchant and co-op stores and 300 pharmacies nationwide.
Speaking at a recent Oireachtas Agriculture Committee meeting on the topic, the Department’s Colm Forde said: “If all of these medicines are now going to require a prescription, the best way of ensuring a competitive supply chain is to break the link between prescribing and dispensing.
Councillor calls for swift negotiations with landowners on extension of the Great Western Greenway Published: Sunday, 17 January 2021 13:44
A Westport Councillor is calling on Mayo County Council officials to begin talks as soon as possible with landowners and property owners, regarding the extension of the greenway from Murrisk to Lecanvey.
Independent Councillor Christy Hyland says funding for this extension of the greenway was provided by former Minister Michael Ring early last year, but no progress has yet been made.
Councillor Hyland insists that extending the greenway to Lecanvey, and then onto Louisburg and Roonagh, would be a gamechanger for tourism in West Mayo, post Covid-19.
