Deilginis assessment to take place

AN ASSESSMENT of Deilginis in Shannon is to be completed following a request for improvements to the surface in the locality.

Cllr Tony Mulcahy (FG) called on Clare County Council to “pave the road and parking spaces” in Deilginis when submitting a proposal to the Shannon Municipal District.

Senior executive engineer, Tom Mellett stated, “An assessment of the road will take place to determine its condition. This will determine if the road can be included in the 2025 Road Works Programme”.

A high-support mental health facility was formerly located in Deilginis until its closure shortly before January 2013. It had been downgraded to a low-support facility a year before the doors shut. Four houses are interconnected within the building.

Former Mayor of Clare, Patricia McCarthy (IND) previously called the closure a “serious mistake” and “short-sighted”.
