Residents in Ennistymon, who look set to lose their homes as part of plans to resolve traffic issues at Blake's Corner, say they're going nowhere.
Clare County Council has proposed building a new bridge to divert traffic away from the infamous bottleneck, but admit this will seriously affect a number of private residences.
77-year old Judith O'Donohue and her husband have lived in their house for 25 years, but it's now one of three properties set to be demolished under what Clare County Council describes as its "preferred option" to finally deal with Blake's Corner.
Ms O'Donohue says they moved into the house intending to leave in a coffin and that hasn't changed since.
After talks with local representatives this week, the Council has put forward a proposal which would see traffic bypass the junction on an inner relief road, including a new bridge across the River Inagh.
This was devised by Roughan and O'Donovan Consulting Engineers, who had also suggested an alternative in which the listed Blake and Linnane buildings could be moved and rebuilt.
However, this was rejected and Ennistymon Councillor Richard Nagle doesn't think it would have been a runner.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors and locals pass through the busy Blake's Corner each summer, and the Council is acting to alleviate congestion and ease safety concerns there.
However, Sheena Clancy of West Clare flowers, whose home and business would be levelled says she is furious.
