NORTH Clare County Councillors yesterday slammed the Department of the Marine and Natural Resources over its inaction 1n relation to a new sewage system in Doolin, describing it as ‘disrespectful’ and ‘uncaring’. The local area council is to write to all six Clare Oireachtas members, requesting that they use their influ- ence to speed up the process.
Five of the six councillors repre- senting north Clare raised question relating to the delay at yesterday’s meeting of the North Clare Area in Ennistymon. The delay surrounds getting a foreshore licence from the department in order to commence oyetsinmeleinceyee

stopped the council from performing essential footpath and road repairs in the area which is now considered a hazard.
“It is a matter of extreme annoy- ance that the foreshore licence has not be given. It has been with the de- partment for three years, this delay is not Clare County Council’s fault.
“They cannot finalise the purchase of that land until the licence has been issued.
“The people of Doolin and Bally- vaughan have been waiting for three years now.
“It needs to be dealt with by the department and dealt with urgently,’ said Councillor Richard Nagle (FF).
A public meeting will take place on this matter in Doolin’s Russell Cen- tre next Monday, April 2, at 8pm.
