County chief against last-minute rezoning
In a variation to the Ennis Development Plan in July, councillors rushed through changes, against the advice of planners, to rezone almost 100 acres of land around Ennis for housing on the southern fringes of Ennis at Clarecastle.
To compensate for the rezoned 100 acres, councillors agreed to dezone the same amount of land to the east of Ennis.
