County Clare Building

The County Clare Building (Irish: Áras Contae an Chláir) is a municipal building in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland.

History

Originally meetings of Clare County Council were held at Ennis Courthouse.[1][2] The new county building, which was designed by Henry J Lyons & Partners, was completed in May 2008.[3][4] It was commended in the public buildings category in the Irish Architecture Awards held by the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland in 2008.[5] The council meeting room was upgraded in 2018 when new fixtures and fittings, including 22 chairs and a 7-metre bespoke table featuring the council coat of arms, were acquired at a cost of €51,000.[6]

gollark: *Why* are you calling it thousands of times? Have you tried doing it fewer times?
