The Quay At Clarecastle

Jhcx

I often go down here many a night just spent with friends gazing out across the river while chatting. But i cant help but wonder could more be done to such a beautiful area. See has to be admitted that Clarecastle is as much a part of Ennis now than ever. what feels like a 2 minute drive from the town to the quay. Theres not a lot to do in Ennis in terms of places to park up and relax The town is too obstructed by high walls. So this is the next best part to be a place to go within Ennis. Plenty of parking there but theres a section down at the far end. restricted by gates and only accessible by foot. i cant help but wonder could work be done there to make it so much better than it is. like a few parking spots, a railing surrounding the edge with lighting and parking spots. A bit like the river walk at Killaloe is kinda the vision id have in mind



Who would be in control to do up the area. Could the council do it under the regeneration schemes or whatever. or would it have to be privately redeveloped

The moorings and walkway in Killaloe (pictured in the opening post) cost €2m, it was funded by Waterways Ireland and Failte Ireland in 2011.

775 metres of mooring was installed, the old canal wall was underpinned and a looped walk was created along the shore and canal bank.

You could do worse than to call into John Power and ask that question

Well obviously not build anything new but use whats there. lighting just would be helpful
