Consultation has concluded

Ennis was among the successful applicants under the Government’s Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF), which is intended to drive regeneration and rejuvenation of strategic and under utilised areas within Ireland’s cities and large towns.

The successful project, O’Connell Square, High Street, Bank Place, Barrack Street, O'Connell Street and Old Barrack Square, has an overall cost of €5,390,391 with 75 per cent of the cost being granted funded under the URDF, and the remaining 25 per cent being financed by Clare County Council. In addition to the Parnell Street laneways and bow-ways project this will have the shared purpose of regenerating the public realm and will enhance the town centre environment, making it a more accessible and attractive place to spend time.

In respect of the above project, Clare County Council have previously secured Part VIII planning permission for O’Connell Square, Bank Place, High Street, Old Barrack Street and Barrack Square (Planning ref. P20-8004). We are now developing proposals for the O’Connell Street element with modifications for part of Old Barrack Street. We are seeking your input on the preliminary design for the project with a view to informing the detailed design process. It is intended to submit this project for Part VIII planning approval in Q3 2021. It is anticipated that construction would commence on the entire project Q2/Q3 2022.

We would specifically draw your attention to the design approach document LINK which outlines how the preliminary design has evolved to date.
