Vexed issue of blocked gulleys being addressed in Mayo

Blocked gulleys in Castlebar are receiving attention and being cleaned.

The issue was raised by Councillor Michael Kilcoyne who said a considerable number of gulleys are blocked, including one outside the Linenhall, which is blocked completely, and another on Spencer Street at Dominos.

Senior engineer Anne Sweeney said the cleaner has been out on a number of occasions and the specific ones will be targeted.

There has also been an issue with a few sinkhole problems too, due to the recent heavy rain.

There was one serious one on the N60, which has been repaired.
