Setback for €6m Doolin pier plan

CLARE Co Council has received a setback in its plans to construct a €6 million pier at Doolin.

The local authority will have to re-lodge plans for a foreshore licence with the Department of Environment.

Last month, in the face of opposition from surfers, councillors unanimously gave their approval for the pier which is to act as a gateway for ferries to the Aran Islands.
