The Acting CEO of Clare County Council insists that a visit to the funeral of Muhammad Ali will help put the town on the map.
Ger Dollard and the former Mayor of Ennis, Pat Daly have returned from Louisville, Kentucky, after attending the funeral of the iconic boxers, who was named the first hononary freeman of Ennis in 2009.

The pair represented Ali's ancestral home at the ceremony which was attended by tens of thousands of mourners and viewed by millions of people on television worldwide.
The 2,700 euro cost of the trip was paid for by the Local Authority, but Ger Dollard says the long term benefits will outweigh that cost.
