Senator Mulherin said: “I am delighted to have been in a position to work with local companies and Mayo County Council to arrange a number of official functions to be attended by An Taoiseach, all which are positive news for the economic and social growth of Mayo.
“The Taoiseach will come to Ballina for a site visit to the Military Barracks and report progress on the development of the €7 million Digital and Innovation hub under the Project Ireland 2040 Urban Regeneration and Development Fund.
