Act of vandalism at historic Moorehall condemned

AN act of vandalism at the historic Moorehall property in central Mayo has outraged the local community.

Wooden fencing, a stile and gate along a popular walkway was damaged by those responsible.

A family out for a walk at the location today were shocked and disappointed by the discovery in such a tranquil place.

"It is hard to explain to children how such an act of vandalism took place," a parent stated.

The incident has been reported to An Garda Siochana at a property owned by Mayo County Council.
