Now it's time to have your say.

Thank you for signing the petition to Save The Cloister in Ennis.

Now it's time to have your say.

It costs nothing but a few minutes of your time.

We are asking Clare County Council to retain the original planning application (24/8016), which brought together arts, community, heritage and tourism in one shared public space following extensive public consultation.

We believe the original proposal better reflected the THRIVE and New European Bauhaus values of community participation, cultural vitality, inclusion and the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings.

A short statement in your own words is all that's needed.

Every submission counts.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,
