Work On Ulster Canal Stores Building Complete

Regeneration work at the Ulster Canal Stores building in Clones, Co Monaghan, is now complete.

Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Michelle O'Neill MLA attended the official opening.

The Minister jointly officiated at the event with Minister Heather Humphreys TD, the south's minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.


Minister O'Neill said: "My Department's involvement in providing £240,000 funding towards the Clones Erne East Blackwater project and the regeneration of the Ulster Canal Stores is a practical example of how greater cross-border collaboration and integration can create a thriving and sustainable economy and environment for our rural communities.

"Not only has this initiative supported growth in rural enterprise, it has also developed new and enhanced tourism and recreational facilities to be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. The work on the Ulster Canal Stores is symbolic of what has been achieved."
