Ennis Municipal District has been told to “tell the truth and shame the devil” regarding a perceived parking shortfall in the town.
Following a motion he raised in November 2023 which found that Ennis had lost 159 car parking spaces in fifteen years, Clarecastle Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O’Callaghan has this week requested an update on any further losses.
Ennis MD has said in a response that while some spaces have been lost to public realm works, Active Travel measures and Safe Routes to School projects, the new Cloister Car Park and Lidl store on the Clare Road will soon bring almost 350 spaces on stream.
Councillor O’Callaghan says even if it casts the town in a bad light, transparency on parking deficits is vital.
