Fianna Fáil Councillor John Paul Feeley has warmly welcomed the allocation of €6 million to allow for the implementation of the Cuilcagh Masterplan. This allocation will allow for the development of a visitors centre on the site of the old post office in Glangevlin. Cllr Feeley arranged for the Council to purchase this site with a view to improving facilities for visitors to the area as we expect numbers to increase substantially with the completion of the Visitors Centre at the Shannon Pot in the near future.
