Ennis initiative to trade out of crisis

THE closure of 13 businesses in Clare’s county town, in addition to 70 vacant units, has led to a new Ennis initiative to help it “trade out of the recession”.

As part of an initiative to kick-start the local economy, members of the Ennis Business Forum met with Clare’s four TDs this week.

The business forum is determined to have Clare as one of the “first counties to come out of recession”.
