Town ups security so homeless can’t sleep in superloos

Clare’s county town has put in place additional security measures to ensure there is no re-occurrence of homeless men sleeping in the town’s €70,000 per annum superloos.

In April, the plight of the late Czech national, Josef Pavelka, 52, and his Polish friend, Piotr Baram, 36, received national attention when a judge described as a national scandal the pair living in public toilets in Ennis.

Mr Pavelka died last month in a laneway off Ennis’s O’Connell St and the place where his body was found has since been named by his friends as “Pavelka Place”.
