Situation At Ennistymon’s Blake’s Corner Dubbed ‘A Crisis’

The Chair of the Save Ennistymon’s Heritage group says the current situation at Blake’s Corner in the town has now reached ‘crisis’ point.

Two American tourists escaped injury last weekend after their car collided with a wall at the junction.

Clare County Council says it’s awaiting an An Bord Pleanala decision on plans to purchase land and buildings around the site to begin construction of a ‘relief road’ between the N85 and N67.

North Clare resident Denis Vaughan says members of the community in Ennistymon want action to be taken urgently.
