We revisited a controversial issue for Ennis at the moment, the proposed plans to build a Supermacs motorway plaza along the M18 on the outskirts of Ennis.
Opinion is mixed with Pat McDonagh, MD of Supermacs has defended the plan at every turn while Ennis Chamber retailers have come out strongly against the plan believing it will take business away from Ennis town. However on today’s show we heard the opinion of Nuala Mulqueeney, the director of Ailwee Cave and Bird of Prey Centre. Nuala has worked with the Supermacs Galway plaza to showcase her own business and believes a similar situation could be achieved with the Ennis plaza. She also believes that Clare is largely regarded as a ‘drive-through county’ and the Supermacs plaza could be a step towards fixing that. We also asked the local people of Ennis what they thought of the proposed development.
