TWO vehicles were seized in Clancy Park as part of ongoing investigations by Gardaí in Ennis.
On Saturday, members of An Garda Síochána attached to Ennis Garda Station conducted an operation that resulted in the seizure of two vehicles and the issuing of fixed penalty notices to a number of others in Clancy Park.
Issues at Clancy Park have come to light in recent weeks following the emergence of an illegal encampment in the Ennis estate.
At the time of the tabling of an emergency motion at the April meeting of Clare County Council, there was three caravans at different locations in Clancy Park, one of which is understood to be occupied by an individual who was in Limerick Prison but was released due to capacity issues.
Threats of arson, harassment, intimidation of the elderly, uncontrolled dogs, degradation of a beloved neighbourhood and “a sense of abandonment by the State, the Council and the Gardaí” are some of the feelings experienced by residents of Clancy Park since the arrival of an illegal encampment in the estate, Cllr Clare Colleran Molloy (FF) highlighted.
