The public meeting will take place at the end of June
There will be a public consultation event to assess the feasibility of a new wetland area in south Leitrim.
The drop-in session will take place on Thursday, 25th of June, at 10:00 am – 2:00 pm at The Market Yard, St George’s Terrace, Townparks, Carrick-on-Shannon.
