A meeting of Ennis's local representatives has heard that parked vehicles are preventing the town's streets from being properly cleaned. Fianna Fáil Councillor Antoinette Baker-Bashua is calling on Ennis Municipal District to publish its schedule of street sweeping in local areas so residents know when to move their cars and other obstacles such as bins. The response issued by Ennis MD says roughly 50% of its planned maintenance is "reactive" to the likes of litter and flooding, and because of the size of the area, it isn't "operationally practical" to commit to a fixed schedule. Councillor Baker-Bashua says if residents had notice, there could be a more thorough clean.
