The Sports Minister Shane Ross has failed to give a date for work to begin on the running track sanctioned for Lough Lannagh, Castlebar.

That’s according to Mayo Fianna Fail TD Lisa Chambers, who claims this is another broken promise by Government.

Work is continuing on Phase One of the 11 million euro sports project at Lough Lannagh – which is the provision of a new swimming pool.

Phase Two involves the development of a running track alongside the new pool, but following local concerns that the second phase may not go ahead, Deputy Chambers submitted a parliamentary question on the matter to the Dept of Transport, Tourism & Sport.

The Minister has since confirmed that no money has been allocated for Phase 2, and no date has been given for when this project will commence.
