Ennis Public Realm Regeneration Project B

24 March 2022
The next phase of the regeneration of the Ennis Public Realm will involve major construction works at O’Connell Street, High Street, Bank Place, High street, Barrack street, O’Connell Square and Barrack Square.  

This follows on from completion of the first phase of works at Parnell Street, laneways, and bow-ways in 2020 and 2021.

The Public Realm Regeneration will significantly improve accessibility for pedestrians through the introduction of shared surface arrangements and by increasing footpath widths where possible.  The Squares (Barrack Square and O’Connell Square) will be significantly enhanced to improve their amenity value and to facilitate their use as civic spaces. The completion of these projects will result in the rejuvenation of the Town Centre environment, making it more attractive and a better destination to spend time.

Advance enabling works involving the replacement of water mains and services by Irish Water are scheduled to commence in May 2022. The Public Realm Regeneration project works will follow thereafter.  While every effort is being made to minimise disruption, it is unavoidable that road closures will be necessary during construction.

A public information evening, hosted by Clare County Council, Nicholas de Jong & Associates Urban Design and Tom McNamara & Partners was held 31st March 2022 to review the project design and preliminary scheduling.  For those who could not attend on the evening, please review project design and preliminary scheduling.  Further submissions can be made by emailing ddonohue@tommcnamara.ie before 1st May 2022.
