Work set to begin as €6m Doolin pier contract signed

Work will commence this week on a long-awaited, new pier for Doolin in Co Clare after contracts for the €6m project were signed yesterday.

Before putting pen to paper, Public Expenditure and Reform Minister Brendan Howlin visited the west Clare village to meet with the contractor, ferry operators and other business people.

Minister Howlin’s visit coincided with the signing by Clare County Council of the contract for the project which, it is hoped, will be completed by the middle of next year.
