Cathaoirleach Defends Council’s €51,000 Spend On Meeting Room Revamp

The Cathaoirleach of Clare County Council has defended a local authority spend of 51,000 euro on a revamp of a meeting room at it’s headquarters in Ennis.

Clare County Council spent over €13,000 on a seven metre bespoke table emblazoned with the Council’s coat of arms, along with just shy of €18,000 on 22 chairs.
