Clare County Council is considering changes to one of Ennis's most trafficked regional roads.

Mayor of Ennis Clare Colleran-Molloy has this week asked for options to be examined around extending the footpath on the northern side of Centra on the Mill Road and has described the current situation as "dangerous".

Ennis Municipal District says extending the footpath isn't possible due the presence of a two-storey former corn store built in 1790 which is a protected structure but says it's "confident" proposals in the upcoming Local Transport Plan will solve the issue.

Fianna Fáil Councillor Colleran-Molloy says a pedestrian crossing is the most likely solution.
