Road repairs to the villages of Ballyvaughan, Corofin and Kilfenora are due to be completed by the end of July.

A total budget allocation of €515,455 has been set aside for works in the three North Clare villages under the 2021 roadworks programme in Clare County Council.

Senior executive engineer, Enda MacNamara explained that the sections of road will be resurfaced with either Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) or Hot Rolled Asphalt (HRA).

Resurfacing of the R-477 in Ballyvaughan will commence 1km from the centre of the village and continue west for 750m. A 750m section of the R-476 in Lakefield, Corofin will also be surfaced along the Ennis Rd between the L-5232 and the R-460.

A section of Corofin’s main street will also be resurfaced, MacNamara confirmed. Works will begin at the junction of the R-460 and continue west for 110m.

An update was sought by Cllr Joe Killeen (FF) at a meeting of the West Clare Municipal District. “One of the roads that is really bad is Ballyvaughan heading west and Corofin village from the speed limit at the edge of the village into the Grotto, it was dug up 10 years ago by Irish Water who restored the road surface but it is not up to standard we expect in 2021”.

Access to an area map to visualise the full programme of works would be very helpful to elected representatives, Cllr Shane Talty (FF) commented. “The lads are working on maps, there was a change in the system they normally use. They can produce maps for each road but that is not what’s required,” MacNamara replied.
