Clare County Council has announced its intention to introduce permanent partial pedestrianisation on Ennis's main thoroughfare. The local authority is submitting a proposal under Section 38 of the Roads Act to keep O'Connell Street pedestrian-only from March 2nd with the exception of the period of 6am to 11am when vehicular access will be allowed to facilitate business deliveries and refuse collection. It follows a survey which ran from December 8th to January 4th, with almost 90% of respondents supporting some form of pedestrianisation and more than half advocating for full pedestrianisation. Ennis Municipal District Acting Senior Engineer Paddy Tiernan says it's the will of the people.
