Homeowners On "Nightmare" Ennis Back Road Call For "Joined-Up Thinking" From Council

A resident of a heavily-trafficked Ennis backroad fears he wouldn't be able to get out of his driveway in the event of a medical emergency. Homeowners on the link road between the Quin Road and the N85 are calling for "joined-up thinking" from Clare County Council regarding alleviating traffic congestion on the route. Known locally as the Old Bog Road, the Kilbricken Road is the Quin Road's only connection to the dual carriageway. Oliver Plunkett, who's been living on the road for 30 years, says he's often unable to leave his house because of the build-ups outside his gateway.
