Calls are being made for traffic-calming measures to be trialled at Blake's Corner in Ennistymon as a matter of urgency. A Judicial review initiated in 2022 has stalled the construction of a relief road bridge 80m upstream that would bypass the junction. The situation has been compounded as the protected status of the Linnane's and Blakes buildings means the infamous gap on the tight turn cannot be filled, nor can the adjacent pavement be resurfaced. North Clare Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy says potential solutions such as a one-way system and erecting a traffic display mirror must be tested.
