Community urges officials to restore iconic tourist sign

THE Ballyvaughan community yesterday urged Clare County Council “to be done with it” and restore the iconic Ballyvaughan tourist sign.

Ballyvaughan Community Development Group chairperson Mary Hawkes repeated the call on the local authority to restore the sign after yet another inconclusive council meeting yesterday on the issue.

Earlier this year, contractors for the National Roads Authority (NRA) and local council staff stripped the sign of unauthorised signs, sparking a local outcry.
