Christmas lights switch off in Mayo's county town

THE Christmas lights in Castlebar are set to be switched off.

Their ongoing illumination was raised by Councillor Michael Kilcoyne at a municipal district meeting this week.

In relation to the Mall, he said it was 'strange' to see a machine cutting the grass and the Christmas lights still on over it.

Cathaoirleach Councillor Martin McLoughlin said it had been agreed to keep them on until the end of January.
