Council rules out major comerical centre on Ennis Tesco site

The Town of Ennis won’t see a major commercial or district centre proceeding on the Limerick Road, after members of Ennis Town Council chose not to vary the local development plan for such purposes.

It’s seen as a blow for plans by Michael Lynch Limited and Tesco to build a large retail unit on their site at Tobartaoscain, but does NOT rule out their development going ahead in some form.

Despite a protest by local traders and claims from one councillor that talks on the Ennis plan had "got dirtier than the Presidential Elections", the council was unanimous in their decision not to include proposed modifications to the Ennis Development Plan – namely the need for a "district centre" for the family shopping market.

But proposals by Michael Lynch Limited and Tesco will still be considered in line with planning procedures and could go ahead in some form according to Ennis Town Manager Ger Dollard.
