Gort Town Team seeks to repurpose Convent as multi-functional community facility

The Gort Town Team is seeking to secure funding to buy and repurpose the convent building in the town.

It's  looking to transform the building, which is owned by the Sisters of Mercy, into a multi-functional facility, which could provide a cultural space and a remote working hub.

The team presented its plan to local councillors this week, receiving unanimous support from all in attendance.
