Contractor Sought For Mini Roundabout At Notorious Ennis Junction

Clare County Council is seeking a contractor to install a mini roundabout at a notorious Ennis junction. The local authority has published the tender for minor civil engineering traffic calming works at the junction of the Shanaway Road and the Lahinch Road in the county town. The works are valued at €200,000 and involve the realignment of the junction, the construction of a mini roundabout, the upgrading of the road and footpath, and the installation of pedestrian crossings. Mayor of Ennis Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard says after years of lobbying for the measure, she's relieved to know the wait will soon be over.
