WORK albeit not to a “massive” level is required to make the entrance along Ballycasey Avenue safer in Shannon.
Cllr Tony Mulcahy (FG) in a proposal before the Shannon Municipal District asked Clare County Council to cost the placement of a footpath along the Ballycasey Avenue from the Radharc na Coille entrance to Ballycasey House. The motion was seconded by Cllr Pat O’Gorman (FF).
Acting senior executive engineer in the Shannon MD, John Strand confirmed they would “include this footpath for consideration in future capital footpath projects”.
Speaking at this month’s sitting of the Shannon MD, Cllr Mulcahy remarked that ORIS funding “would have been helpful” to deliver the infrastructure. “The Brothers of Charity have taken on three units” with their residents also working at The Shannon Springs, “we need to make the avenue safe, I appreciarte it is something to look at”.
“In addition, a friend of mine lives up there, right at the top of Ballycasey there is a pathway going to back of Dr Flynn’s hosue and the craft centre, it is a loop we need to look at it, if we fix that one going up to the craft centre and tidy up the link loop at the top, it doesn’t need massive work,” he added.
