The Chair of Clare’s social housing committee insists ground level homes should be prioritised over a “monstrosity” of an apartment complex in Ennis.
It follows a public meeting last night, which was attended by a large group of businesses, local representatives and members of the public, who voiced concerns over the planned redevelopment of the Abbey Street Cark Park under the Ennis 2040 plan.
Under the plan, six cottages on Francis Street were to be demolished to make way for a temporary car park, which would facilitate the Abbey Street works, but this has been paused, with the intention of developing 45 housing units there in the future.
However Shannon based Independent Councillor, Gerry Flynn has been telling Clare FM’s Daragh Dolan that quality accessible ground level housing should be prioritised at the site.
