Clare County Council has expressed confidence that public realm works in Ennis will conclude by the end of next year. The local authority commenced an €11.5 million two-year contract with Shareridge Limited last October for streetscape enhancements at High Street, Bank Place, O’Connell Square, O’Connell Street, Old Barrack Street and Barrack Square. The ongoing works in the town form part of Phase Two of the Ennis Public Realm Regeneration Project and as per the contract, this phase must be wrapped up by October of 2025. Senior Engineer with Ennis Municipal District Seán Lenihan says penalties on the contractor can be applied if the works run on beyond the deadline.
