The Ennis South Scheme is being progressed by Clare County Council (CCC) with funding from the Office of Public Works (OPW). When completed the scheme will provide protection for 74 residential and 10 non-residential properties in the area.

CCC invited tenders for the proposed works on 7 March 2017. The tenders have been received and assessed by CCC and its consultants. A report has now been submitted by CCC to the OPW on the outcome of the tender process. The OPW remains committed to progressing the Ennis South scheme and is working closely with CCC to ensure that this happens in the shortest possible timeframe.
