A €500,000 allocation was announced on Friday for Mitchelstown under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.

The funding is to see a new Enterprise Hub development in the town’s library building, featuring hot desks, own door offices and a meeting room.

Cllr Kay Dawson was delighted with the significant funding announcement for the library space and welcomed the building as a ‘great asset’ for the town.

The project had been mentioned at a Fermoy MD meeting last September, but the funding was only confirmed last week.
