Inaugural meeting (5th Dec 2018)

Inaugural meeting of the Technical Advisory Group of the Shannon Wetlands Restoration Project on Wednesday 05-12-2018 in the premises of the local Shannon Men’s Shed. A great collaborative community-led project involving Dúchas na Sionna, Clare County Council, Community Wetlands Forum, The Waters and Communities Office, NPWS, EPA, Malachy Walsh and Partners. Great to have such expertise to advise on this community project to restore the Shannon Wetlands.

Shannon Town Masterplan

Below is an image showing the Wetlands are marked as 2 . (I believe this is from the Shannon Town Masterplan document published by Clare Council in 2013 – I must check!)
I couldn’t find it in the “Shannon Town and Environs Local Area Plan 2012-18 Written Statement”
