that he was calling for the extra gardai, drafted in from Ennis over the past fort- night, to be maintained permanently in
the west Clare town.
“We still have the extra resources and I will be looking for those resources in the long-term in the Kilrush area,” he said.
However West Clare-based Senator Brendan Daly believes there are suf- ficient resources available in Kilrush and said those responsible for attacking the young women must be charged as a matter of urgency.
“The general belief is that there is sufficient evidence that would enable
charges to be brought against the peo- ple involved in the incident . The time for talking is over and action must be taken. Gardai must allay the fears of the public and press charges. They must take action very soon before it turns into a situation where lives will be lost. There is no place for anarchy in Kil- ruth
Another prominent member of the local community, who did not wish to be named, compared Kilrush to ‘Little Belfast’ and said a group of youths were continuing to intimidate people to pre- vent them making statements against Weloseee
The Garda Representative Associa- tion (GRA) in Clare has called for an additional ten gardai to be deployed to Kilrush permanently and will raise the issue at the GRA Executive meeting next month.
“Obviously there are not enough re- sources in Kilrush. Gardai have been temporarily transferred there, but the trouble starts when they are not left there. Gardai are badly needed in Kil- rush, but we need what we have in En- nis,’ said GRA spokesman Tom Keane.

No McQuick solution
AN Bord Pleanala this week ended any prospect of a new McDonalds outlet opening in Ennis in 2005, when it post- poned a decision on a new 85-seater driv-thru restaurant until October next.
The appeals board was due to make a decision on sepa- rate appeals by Green party councillors, Brian Meaney and Donal O’Bearra on Mon- Ch Ws
However, the appeals board has now adjourned any deci- sion until October 12.
The board postponing the decision coincided with Cllr Meaney denying that his op- position to the McDonalds proposal was fuelled by pub- licity-seeking.
Cllr Meaney denied the charge, as it emerged that plans were recently lodged with Ennis Town Council in the Lifford area of Ennis for
a fast-food outlet, but on this occasion, Cllr Meaney did not object to the proposal.
Cllr Meaney said, “I was acting in the public interest in appealing the McDonald’s decision to An Bord Pleanala and it would be marvellous if other public representatives were as pro-active as myself.
“My opposition to the pro- posal stems from McDonalds targeting children in_ their marketing campaigns and the applicant of this other Ennis outlet I’m sure would not have engaged in that type of strat- a Ae
In the application by Don- nacha Keane to convert the former Quality Meats into a fast-food outlet, the Council refused planning.
It stated that due to the close proximity of the premises to nearby houses, the proposed development would result in a material increase in problems of noise and nuisance and
general disturbance for neigh- bouring residents, particularly Lm ESA OL
Last year, the McDonalds’ proposal sparked a national
debate on the impact of fast food on diets, after the Mid- Western Health Board’s Health Promotion Department objected because of concerns
about children’s health.
The Department demanded that McDonalds carry out an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) into possible health impacts on the local population before the applica- tion could be further consid- eee
However, the Health Board soon distanced itself from this objection with the then chief executive, Stiofan de Burca declaring that the objection was a personal statement by the community dieticians fesse ileee
A planning report released by the Town Council earlier this year confirmed that an EIS was not requested.
Cllr Meaney’s appeal con- centrates on the health as- pects of the proposal, while Cllr O’Bearra is concerned with the proposal allegedly breaching the provisions of the Ennis and Environs De- velopment Plan.
