This month's meeting has heard for further hopes for the re-opening of Sligo Jail.
Prior to its closure in 1956, the jail was in use from 1818.
Just last month, the local authority was awarded a grant of €200,000 through the European Regional Development Fund.
This was seen as a major step forward in transforming the old jail into a modern tourism and community amenity with hopes for more funding in the future.

Local Independent Councillor Marie Casserly says its opening would have wide-ranging benefits for the region.
