Food and Craft Fairs 'not sustainable'
The news was revealed during a recent Development Committee meeting held at Riada House.
The report explained: “Following an evaluation of the town’s seasonal food and craft fairs and further review of the reduced market activity it had been concluded that a regular market was not sustainable.

In addition, given the success that the market had had in raising awareness of local produce of market participants and getting locally manufactured products into local shops, a project was being developed to further advance this business development opportunity, introducing local products onto shelves of local shops and supermarkets across the region.
“This project would align with the food tourism project.”
