Ennis is set to benefit from a €50,000 grant for five projects, that will aim to boost Christmas footfall in the town. The funding, announced by the Department of Local Government, will go towards contemporary lighting on O'Connell Street, a projector to screen festive images, along with lighting for trees and Christmas markets. Ennis Chamber, meanwhile, is in the process of organising an outdoor Christmas market in the courtyard of the Temple Gate Hotel for the upcoming season. President Sheila Lynch is hopeful the plans will provide welcome relief for traders, who've had a challenging year.
