,000 additional jobs and a population increase of 1.6 percent per annum have been earmarked as key targets of the newly launched Ennis 2040 Economic and Spatial Strategy. Four key strategic objectives underpin Ennis 2040 which are its location as a place for investment, making it Ireland’s first climate adaptative town, the concept of a ‘ten minute town’ and making it an accessible place of quality.

A total of nine transformational projects form the long-term objectives of Ennis 2040 while twenty six actions are to be implemented which include the provision of an urban bus and making the town “more pedestrian friendly”. “Something like this will be seen as visionary,” owner of The Old Ground Hotel, Allen Flynn remarked of the strategy. Several false dawns occurred before Friday’s official launch with Taoiseach, Micheál Martin (FF) initially due to launch the strategy in January.
