Mohill Parish Centre project advances with planning approval and tender process

Mohill Parish has secured full planning permission for its new Parish Centre, a development that has moved the project into the next stage of procurement. The approval, announced on 22 October 2025, clears the way for the preparation of tender documents and the invitation of local building contractors to submit bids.

Alongside the planning consent, the parish has lodged an application for a Fire Safety Certificate, satisfying a key regulatory requirement before construction can begin. The tender documents, which will include detailed drawings and specifications, are being assembled by the architects Brendan McGettigan & Associates Ltd. Contractors who wish to participate are asked to contact the architects by the end of October, with the expectation that tenders will be sought in late October or early November.

The new centre is intended to serve as a community hub for Mohill and the surrounding area in County Leitrim. Once completed, it would provide a venue for parish gatherings, events and other community activities. The project is a community‑led initiative, and the parish has expressed a desire to involve local tradespeople and businesses in the construction phase.

In parallel with the centre’s development, Mohill Parish is also calling for volunteers to train as readers and Eucharistic Ministers, a move that reflects the parish’s broader pastoral priorities. The parish has also welcomed a visiting missionary, Fr Manuel Casillas, who will be in Mohill in late November to share his experience.

The planning permission and tender process represent a significant procedural milestone for the parish. The next steps will involve the selection of a contractor and the commencement of construction, after which the centre would become an important resource for the community.
