Efforts To Find Long-Term Plan For Ennis Market Building To Be Stepped Up 'Early In The New Year'

The Mayor of Ennis says efforts will be stepped up 'early in the new year' to establish a long-term plan for the Ennis Market Building. Clare County Council has re-opened the controversial building and has confirmed that a private security company has been hired on a temporary basis "to ensure that all available public car parking spaces are operational with immediate effect". The local authority closed the 15-space car park just over three weeks ago due to concerns about anti-social behaviour and criminality taking place on site. Cathaoirleach of the Ennis Municipal District and Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly is committed to finding a long-term use for the building in the new year with the assistance of the public.
