Charity Secures Derelict Houses in Mayo

A registered charity in Mayo has secured three derelict houses that were previously vacant and subject to a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) during the construction of the Turlough to Westport dual carriageway in 2016/17.

The CEO of Mayo County Council, Kevin Kelly, confirmed the news at a recent monthly meeting, but the name of the charity has not been released until the deal is finalized.

The news was widely welcomed by all councillors.

Councillor Peter Flynn had a motion to reinvest the sale proceeds of these properties into local affordable or social homes, but it was amended to apply to the three remaining properties.

According to Kevin Kelly, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) sold the homes to Mayo County Council under strict criteria.
