Clare County Council has paused plans to erect an interpretive art piece in Ennistymon so that a public engagement process can take place.
Following local objections, the Council now says it will review the submissions received and will engage in a listening process with the local community over the coming weeks.

The council wants designs for placemaking at the entrance to three medieval laneways branching off Main Street – integrating archways on both ends of Pepper’s Lane (Main Street and Lyster Square) and archways on both ends of Lyster Lane (Main Street and Lyster Square) and a wall plaque/freestanding sign as appropriate at Bull Lane.
