Clare County Councillors

In the area of sport and recreation, Clare County Council continued to further improve the range and quality of Active Ennis services and facilities in Ennis and Kilrush. The contract for the delivery of a Town Park in Shannon was also signed and the Council, through the Clare Local Sports Partnership (LSP), continued to support the County’s many sporting and community organisations.

Clare County Council continued its delivery of a wide spectrum of services in communities throughout Clare. Among the initiatives supported during 2018 was Pride of Place, Clare Comhairle na nÓg and the National Tidy Towns Competition.

2018 was capped off with Chambers Ireland, in association with the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, naming Clare County Council as ‘local Authority of the year’ at its annual Excellence in Local Government Awards. This award is a tribute to the staff of Clare County Council and their strong track record of service for the people of Clare.

Clare County Council is at the heart of public service delivery in the County and takes a leadership role at national level in areas such as rural development and tourism. The Council, working with its communities, large and small, will continue to be innovative and responsive to the changing needs and expectations of the people of Clare during 2019.
