"The reason proposed was 'traffic safety'. For those that don't know it's located there right between GMIT and the Hospital." that was one of the reasons the other and this is more important was a health and safety issue, the Church is to near the Hospital itself, and the building was in disrepair and it could have been a breeding ground for all sorts of germs and bugs,and its used on Sundays and empty all week, but is prone to vandalism and a place for youths to drink and sexual activities with know one to watch over it, also the GMIt and St Marys are not on the Hospital doorstep so to speak like the Church, also there is a perfect adequete small interdenominational chapel in the Hospital for the use of Patients , staff and visitors, there is a perfectly big Church in Castlebar for people to use if they so wish, the land was going to be put for patients use and better facilities, but i am sure now that its future will soon be reviewed, with falling Church attendances and shortage of Roman Catholic Priests these buildings are extra and its future will be to close in the next few years, with a chapel inside for the use of all, why is there a need for a building used once a week ?
