Councillors representing the town had sought government funding to complete the Northern Inner Relief Road by joining the Gort and Tulla Roads.

However, in a written reply to a question on the matter from Deputy Michael Harty, Transport Minister Shane Ross has said funding has been limited, and that the route is not included the government's seven-year capital plan.
The Minister also says it's a matter for the Council, though they've previously said that the funding would not be found for some time.
Mayor of Ennis Councillor Pat Daly says millions have been spent on the road to date, so it should be finished.
