There are calls for tailored supports to be provided for businesses impacted by ongoing road works in Ennis

The €11.5m streetscape and public realm enhancement of the county town is currently in its third phase and will see sections of Parnell Street and O'Connell Street closed to traffic until October 2025.

In April, contractor Shareridge LTD recruited a night shift to speed up the High Street phase of the works.

Ennis Independent local election candidate Jacek Kwasny (Yad-cek Ka-vosh-neh) claims the works are leading to a surge of anti-social behaviour incidents.
