Olga Farry has applied to retain a previous extension of 61.5 m² at Lugawarry in Ballisodare, Co Sligo. The application was lodged with Sligo County Council on 23 April 2026 and is listed under reference 2660146.

The council issued a conditional decision on 2 June 2026. The outcome was due by 17 June 2026, but the decision has already been made. The approval concerns only the retention of the existing extension; no new construction or additional land use is proposed.

Ballisodare has recently attracted attention from local councillors over developments at the Mill Apartment complex. Reports in the Irish Independent and Ocean FM indicate that councillors have expressed frustration with developers, suggesting a growing tension between residents and those seeking to expand housing in the area. While the current application concerns a modest extension, it sits within this broader context of debate about growth and planning in Ballisodare.

No further details regarding costs, design features or timelines are available from the council file at this stage. The decision remains conditional, subject to any conditions set by the council before final approval is granted.
