The Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff has announced plans to develop Ireland's first National Storytelling Centre.
The Part VIII planning notice, published yesterday by Cavan County Council, also proposes to build a new sheltered walkway link, new carpark, connections to existing services and all ancillary works, in addition to the single story standalone centre.
All assessment reports of the project can be found at the Museum or the Council Offices until the 21st of August, with any submissions or observations on the development due before 4pm on 4th of September.
