Description

Shovels will enter the ground for a highly anticipated regeneration project in East Clare at the beginning of next year.

The Killaloe Municipal District has confirmed that construction for the Scariff Town Regeneration Project will begin in January of 2025, with the development of a greenfield site as a car park to be the first aspect of the project to get underway.

Following the car park's completion, work will begin on the renovation of the vacant Merriman Tavern as a Community and Enterprise Hub, as well as public realm enhancements in Market Square, with the €11 million project to conclude construction in mid to late 2027.

Senior Planner with Clare County Council and Co-ordinator of the Killaloe Municipal District, Brian McCarthy, says the car park should be up-and-running within a year.
