A public meeting will take place in Ballyfarnon Hall this evening, Tuesday, November 10th, at 8 p.m. in response to plans to convert the village’s former courthouse into two homes.
Concerns have been raised about how the development could affect the building’s links with Ballyfarnon’s “identity, character and charm”.
Built in 1863, it served as a courthouse until 2006.
The proposal forms part of a €4.7m housing and regeneration investment announced by Roscommon County Council last week.
The plans also include seven age-friendly apartments at the former Motor Tax Office in Roscommon Town and one home on Castle Street, Elphin.
