Ennis business owners are divided on whether the town's main street should remain pedestrianised into the future.
From today, all routes in the town centre are open to traffic with the exception of O'Connell which is to remain pedestrian-only until February 16th.
Clare County Council is seeking views from the public on future access, traffic flow, and possible pedestrianisation options for the street, with an online survey to go live on the Clare County Council website from December 8th.
A new survey conducted by Retailers of Ennis meanwhile has found that 55% of local businesses are in favour of blending pedestrianisation and traffic flow on O'Connell Street, while the majority of respondents are calling for an increased Garda presence on the thoroughfare.
Clare FM's Seán Lyons has been speaking to a number of concerned stakeholders including Retailers of Ennis chairperson and owner of Custy's Music Shop, John O'Connor.

Former Minister Of State Donal Carey Passes Away At The Age Of 88
he Tánaiste is leading tributes to former Minster of State and Clare TD Donal Carey, who passed away overnight, at the age of 88.
The clarecastle native was first elected to Clare County Council in 1974 and served as a TD for the Clare constituency from 1982 to 2002, while he also served as a Senator for the Labour Panel from 1981 to 1982.
In 1995, he was appointed by the Rainbow Government on the nomination of John Bruton as Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach with responsibility for western development and rural renewal and Minister of State at the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht with responsibility for the Gaeltacht, holding the posts until the change of government in 1997.
His son Joe Carey was a Fine Gael TD for Clare from 2007 to 2024, while his daughter Leonora Carey ran for Fine Gael in last year’s General Election.
Fine Gael Leader, Tanaiste and Minster for Finance Simon Harris says Donal Carey’s “legacy of service and his contribution to Irish public life and to the Fine Gael family will always be remembered”.
Paul Murphy, Fine Gael Councillor spoke with Alan Morrissey on Wednesday's Morning Focus.
