A spokesperson for Clare County Council told The Clare Echo, “Clare is a holiday county with wonderful destinations and amenities, and we look forward to a safe and enjoyable summer season. Clare County Council continues to step up responses in a range of areas for the summer months. But even with additional measures in place, personal responsibility is a key requirement. It is essential that we all as individuals make the right choices and do the right things to protect the progress we have made to secure a recovery in society and the economy”.
