Deputy Scanlon has been informed by Minister Dara Calleary that he has signed a letter this week for the project to go to tender. Speaking on the matter, Deputy Scanlon expressed his delight. *“I am absolutely delighted to have been informed by Minister Dara Calleary that he has signed off on the project for a community centre f**or Ballymote **Park to go to tender.* *He added: “A community centre will bring vibrancy to the area, social inclusion, support for youth and families and supports for the local community, and it will be great use to locals to the area and beyond.* The community centre is part of a wider project taking place there that could see over €3m invested in the park. Concluding Scanlon went on to thank the Minister and the local committee for their hard work on this and said he looks forward to a contractor being assigned the project in the near future. *“I would like to thank Minister Dara Calleary for signing this contract off for tender this week. I hope that it is a swift process and a contractor can be assigned to the project as soon as it is feasible.* *“Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the outstanding work the **Ballymote** **Park and Development Committee has done to enhance the park. Their commitment is an inspiration to us all, and I look forward to them being rewarded with their community centre in the near future,”*** **he concluded.   ENDS Tags: [Eamon Scanlon](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/tag/eamon-scanlon) --- ## **Related news:** [![Statement by An Taoiseach and Uachtarán Fhianna Fáil, Micheál Martin TD on the death of Councillor Joe Carroll, Skibbereen County Cork.](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/MichealMartin_PR.webp)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/statement-by-an-taoiseach-and-uachtarán-fhianna-fáil-micheál-martin-td-on-the-death-of-councillor-joe-carroll-skibbereen-county-cork) April 24, 2026 --- ##### [Statement by An Taoiseach and Uachtarán Fhianna Fáil, Micheál Martin TD on the death of Councillor Joe Carroll, Skibbereen County Cork.](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/statement-by-an-taoiseach-and-uachtarán-fhianna-fáil-micheál-martin-td-on-the-death-of-councillor-joe-carroll-skibbereen-county-cork) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/statement-by-an-taoiseach-and-uachtarán-fhianna-fáil-micheál-martin-td-on-the-death-of-councillor-joe-carroll-skibbereen-county-cork) [![Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin TD has paid tribute to former MEP Brian Crowley](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202026-01-23%20at%2011.26.19.jpeg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/taoiseach-and-fianna-fáil-leader-micheál-martin-td-has-paid-tribute-to-former-mep-brian-crowley) January 23, 2026 --- ##### [Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin TD has paid tribute to former MEP Brian Crowley](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/taoiseach-and-fianna-fáil-leader-micheál-martin-td-has-paid-tribute-to-former-mep-brian-crowley) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/taoiseach-and-fianna-fáil-leader-micheál-martin-td-has-paid-tribute-to-former-mep-brian-crowley) [![Brennan Calls on Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to Secure Emergency Payments for Storm Chandra Victims](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/ShayBrennan_PRGraphic.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/brennan-calls-on-dún-laoghaire-rathdown-county-council-to-secure-emergency-payments-for-storm-chandra-victims) January 27, 2026 --- ##### [Brennan Calls on Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to Secure Emergency Payments for Storm Chandra Victims](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/brennan-calls-on-dún-laoghaire-rathdown-county-council-to-secure-emergency-payments-for-storm-chandra-victims) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/brennan-calls-on-dún-laoghaire-rathdown-county-council-to-secure-emergency-payments-for-storm-chandra-victims) [![An Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD, Uachtaráin Fhianna Fáil's Speech at the Launch of Party's programme to commemorate centenary of foundation Tuesday 24th February 2026](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/MichealMartin_PR.jpg)](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/an-taoiseach-micheál-martin-td-uachtaráin-fhianna-fáil-launch-of-party-programme-to-commemoration-centenary-of-foundation-tuesday-24th-february-2026) February 25, 2026 --- ##### [An Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD, Uachtaráin Fhianna Fáil's Speech at the Launch of Party's programme to commemorate centenary of foundation Tuesday 24th February 2026](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/an-taoiseach-micheál-martin-td-uachtaráin-fhianna-fáil-launch-of-party-programme-to-commemoration-centenary-of-foundation-tuesday-24th-february-2026) [![](https://www.fiannafail.ie/hubfs/fianna-theme/icons/arrow-next.svg) ](https://www.fiannafail.ie/news/an-taoiseach-micheál-martin-td-uachtaráin-fhianna-fáil-launch-of-party-programme-to-commemoration-centenary-of-foundation-tuesday-24th-february-2026)
