The lack of progress on major projects aimed at reviving West Clare's capital has been criticised by a local councillor.

The local authority has been requested to provide details on the development of the Kilrush Maritime Training Centre, public realm enhancements for Frances Street and the town square, and the refurbishment of the Old Mars Cinema.

A state commissioned taskforce has set a target of developing a maritime centre of excellence in Kilrush this year, while public consultation on future plans for the Mars Cinema concluded last June.

Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch says it time for action.
