The courthouse is located on Castlebar Street in Westport, opposite the Castlecourt Hotel, and Mayo County Council has now acquired the building from the Office of Public Works.
Westport Councillor Christy Hyland has welcomed this development,and told Paula Donnellan that the council will now seek interest from local groups and organisations in relation to its future use..

Councillor calls for swift negotiations with landowners on extension of the Great Western Greenway Published: Sunday, 17 January 2021 13:44
A Westport Councillor is calling on Mayo County Council officials to begin talks as soon as possible with landowners and property owners, regarding the extension of the greenway from Murrisk to Lecanvey.
Independent Councillor Christy Hyland says funding for this extension of the greenway was provided by former Minister Michael Ring early last year, but no progress has yet been made.
Councillor Hyland insists that extending the greenway to Lecanvey, and then onto Louisburg and Roonagh, would be a gamechanger for tourism in West Mayo, post Covid-19.
