Council set for legal action over phone kiosks

Clare County Council is set to proceed with legal action against telephone companies that have left phone kiosks in a "ruinous, derelict, and neglected" condition.

The authority has confirmed it will pursue the companies after they failed to respond to a request to remove or restore the eyesore kiosks in Ennis town centre.

The council has said it is now considering dealing with the matter under the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act.
