The shortage of housing stock in the town of Ennis has reached a point where drastic action is required to rectify it.

That’s according to Cormac O’Sullivan of DNG O’Sullivan Hurley who points to the fact there are now just 86 properties advertised for sale in the greater Ennis area which has a population of between 30,000 and 35,000.
