Councils join forces to plan blueprint for development of Shannon Estuary

A plan for the Shannon Estuary was launched yesterday, identifying key strategic locations to help further advance the development of the waterway for maritime-based industry and tourism.

The Strategic Integrated Framework Plan, the first of its type to be developed in the country, has been commissioned by a multi-agency steering group comprising Clare County Council as lead authority, Limerick City and County Councils, Kerry County Council, and Shannon Foynes Port Company.

The plan will be incorporated into the county and city development plans in Kerry, Clare, and Limerick.
