Clare Councillors have called for the Council to be involved in, or to take over the running of Shannon Heritage sites.
Local representatives unanimously passed an emergency motion at yesterday’s County Council meeting, in the wake of concerns about the plans of Shannon Heritage for its sites at Bunratty, Craggaunowen, and Knappogue.
Bunratty is open at present, but is due to close for the rest of the year from August 31st. The other sites haven’t re-opened this summer at all.
Clare FM has sought comment from Shannon Heritage and Clare County Council, and is awaiting a response.
Yesterday’s motion was brought forward by Fianna Fáil Councillor Alan O’Callaghan who has been telling Clare FM’s Michael Glynn why he feels the council should get involved.
