Council to spend €200k demolishing €800k site

CLARE County Council is to spend up to €200,000 on demolishing a Traveller accommodation site it constructed at a cost of €800,000 six years ago.

The local authority has tendered for the decommissioning of the temporary Traveller accommodation site at Ballymacravan, near Ennistymon.

The site is vacant following travellers being allocated permanent accommodation in the north Clare town.
