Appeals could scupper €4m retail project jobs
Last month, Clare County Council granted planning permission to John Jones for the 10,000 sq ft retail development in Miltown Malbay in spite of opposition lodged against the scheme by a rival supermarket operator and a potential rival.
The council decision will provide a much-needed jobs boost to the west Clare town where 50 full-time and part-time positions will be created, as well as additional seasonal employment. A further 70 jobs will be generated during the 12 to 18-month construction phase.
