Dev’s Dodge to stay hidden

DEV’S Dodge, which returned to Ennis last June after being lovingly restored, is to remain under lock and key and away from public view, it emerged yesterday.

Last June the 1947 Dodge Plymouth arrived back in Ennis after a painstaking restoration project by independent member of Clare County Council, PJ Ryan.

On its arrival, Clare’s then mayor, Cllr Christy Curtin (Ind), was riding in the back seat and later made a call at the council’s June meeting that the car should be re-located to the foyer of the council’s headquarters in order to be more accessible to the public.
