Deputy Michael McNamara says he fears such a plan would inevitably damage the existing town centre, in terms of jobs lost and businesses closed.

Traders in the town are vehemently opposed to the plan, which could see changes made to the Ennis & Environs Development Plan in order to allow a planning application for a large scale retail centre to go ahead.
While admitting that it is a decision solely for Ennis Town Council, the Labour representative fears the consequences if the plan gets the green light.
