A former Roscommon councillor has welcomed news that a historic building will be turned into a community facility.
Submissions are currently open in relation to a major development at Edenville House in Roscommon town.
Orla Leyden has been a longtime campaigner to have the former barracks brought back to life.
Roscommon County Council is proposing to redevelop it into a multi-purpose facility for creative, cultural, social community and recreational purposes.
Former councillor Orla Leyden says it will turn the former barracks into a 'creative and cultural' hub.
