Episode Details

Businesses in a North Clare are said to be "down thousands of euro" due to ongoing public realm works.    Frustration was expressed at this week's West Clare Municipal District Meeting in relation to the enhancement project currently underway in Ennistymon.    Parliament Street has been closed since April 20th to facilitate construction and was due to reopen at the end of this month but the local authority has confirmed access will be restricted until August 28th.    Speaking at this week's meeting, Fine Gael Councillor Bill Slattery and Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty criticised the contractor, claiming the works should be taking place more days of the week and that one section of the project should be completed before another is commenced.    Clare FM's Seán Lyons was at the meeting and spoke to Councillor Slattery about his concerns.
