Ennis Municipal District Temporary Covid-19 Town Centre Mobility Plan for Ennis This plan was formulated in response to the published Government roadmap for easing of restrictions and the requirements for social distancing. Clare County Council formed a stakeholder group including representatives from business, community, and statutory groups (Promote Ennis, Retail Excellence Ireland, Ennis Chamber, Vintners Federation of Ireland, Ennis Tidy Towns, Older Persons Council, disability advocates, elected representatives, the HSE, An Garda Síochána, Retailers of Ennis, Better Ennis). The group was tasked with providing a safer environment for all in line with public health guidelines, while supporting the business sector through various initiatives in addition to attracting people to Ennis as part of their staycation.

Ennis Municipal District (MD) implemented alternative parking arrangements to support these objectives and the new operating environment. These included priority parking spaces, click & collect parking and additional free parking at the Cloister/GAA car park on a temporary basis.
