Craftstudio Architecture were delighted to attend the official opening of the Ballyconnell Market House on 7 May 2026, as the conservation architects for its renovation and redevelopment. Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, officially opened the newly restored building, which has been transformed into a Community, Remote Working and Tourism Hub for the town. The project was supported by €1.2 million in funding through the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, and marks a significant milestone in bringing this historic 1838 building back into active use at the heart of Ballyconnell. It was a proud day for the project team to see the building opened to the community it was designed to serve, and we look forward to seeing it become a real focal point for the town in the years ahead.
