Detailed plans were submitted recently to Ennis Town Council for the demolition of all structures on a site in the town to allow for the construction of a public plaza facing onto the Limerick Road.

Once built, this will include both soft and hard landscaping, a retail development including a food store of 7,834 square metres gross incorporating customer restaurant and cafe, off-licence sales area and a storage service yard.
