Could Westmeath host a Niall Horan Museum?
Teenage girls mightn’t always be the greatest fans of museums - but Mullingar could be the town to change all that, if a proposal agreed by local councillors at a meeting on Monday ever comes to fruition.
They’ve supported a call for the creation of a museum honouring One Direction's Niall Horan, and Mullingar’s other musicians.
The proposal was made at a meeting of the council’s Mullingar Area members on Monday, by Cllr Aidan Davitt.
He suggested that the county council and Mullingar Town Council liaise with a view to setting up a museum.
Davitt suggested that after the town council is dissolved, the museum could be located in the town’s Market House, currently home to the town council.
“We have a great resource in Niall Horan,” stated Cllr Davitt.
