Work is underway on the new Cafe Nero outlet in Castlebar.

Works begins on transforming Mayo town centre property into new business

Construction work has got underway in transforming the former offices of The Connaught Telegraph, Cavendish Lane, Castlebar, into a state-of-the art cafe.

When completed, it will become the newest outlet for Cafe Nero, which has multiple coffee shops throughout the country.

The move will also give the narrow street a major commercial boost.

The new cafe will have seating for up to 44 customers and is expected to employ five staff.
