The public consultation process on the newest Shannon Masterplan has ended and the town now awaits the publication of the final masterplan for its redevelopment.

Shannon is Ireland’s only planned town in the 20th century and the ‘manufactured’ feeling has been hard to shake from its identity.

Despite this being the third masterplan for the town, little has been done in the past four decades to bring life to Shannon.

On Thursday’s Morning Focus, Pat Flynn was joined by Patricia McCarthy, Former Mayor of Clare, Former Chair of Shannon Town Council and Derek Clune, Chairman of LoveShannon Community Council.
