Mayo County Council’s new strategic capital delivery team, led by Pat Staunton, has provided updates on two significant projects within the Westport-Belmullet Municipal District during a recent meeting. The team is focusing on regenerating the former Sisters of Mercy Convent in Westport and revitalizing Newport, both critical to the region’s development. Staunton reported that tenders for the convent project are set to be processed by December, with contractor work anticipated to begin in early 2025, aiming for completion by the end of 2027.
