A renewed call has been made for a new use to be found for a prominent derelict site in Clarecastle.
Cois Fheargais, known locally at Devine’s Field, was intended to be the site of a “substantial town centre mixed-use development” during the Celtic Tiger, but has recently been used by Clare County Council as a material storage yard.
Ennis Municipal District has confirmed that a large stockpile of material was removed from the site in October 2023 and it’s currently engaging with a landowner regarding a potential site for an alternative storage yard.
Clarecastle community activist Paschal Russell says it’s “disgraceful” the site has been lying idle for so long.
