Traders oppose retail plans as Ennis has 70 vacant units

OVER 70 potential retail units in a county town are vacant, independent retailer representative body RGDATA has claimed.

Its claim forms the basis of an objection to a €34 million retail park on the fringes of Ennis, Co Clare.

Tomorrow, Ennis Town Council is due to make a decision on contentious plans by construction company Michael Lynch Ltd for the development of a retail park on the southern fringes of the town.
