Introduction
Section 10(2)(f) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as
amended, states that the Development Plan shall contain objectives
for: “The protection of structure, or parts of structures, which are of
special architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural,
scientific, social or technical interest.”
Section 51(1) of the Planning and Development Act indicates the
rationale for providing a Record of Structures, stating that
“ For the purposes of protecting structures, or parts of structures,
which form part of the architectural, historical, archaeological,
artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest, every
development plan shall include a record of protected structures, and
shall include in that record every structure which is, in the opinion
of the planning authority, of such interest within its functional area.”
These structures play an integral part in the life of the County and
the daily lives of its citizens. These structures are often inhabited or
used as places of work, commerce, worship, education, recreation,
and contribute positively to the character our towns, villages and
countryside.
What is a Protected Structure?
A protected structure is a building or other feature, (such as a
bridge, memorial or castle), which, in the opinion of Clare County
Council, is of such special architectural, artistic, archaeological,
cultural, social, scientific or technical interest that it should be
afforded
legal
protection
so
that
its
intrinsic
value
can
be
appreciated by future generations. Such structures can range from
the humblest thatched cottage to the largest country house.
2
Under the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, a
Protected Structure incorporates the following: (a)
The interior of the structure,
(b)
The land lying within the curtilage of the structure,
(c)
Any other structures lying within the curtilage and their
interiors, and
(d)
All fixtures and features, which form part of the interior or
exterior of any structure(s), referred to in subparagraph (a)
or (c).
“Where a structure is protected, the protection includes the
structure, its interior and the land within its curtilage (including
their interiors) and all fixtures and features which form part of the
interior or exterior of all these structures.” (Architectural Heritage
Protection - Guidelines for Planning Authorities, Department of
Environment, Heritage and Local Government 2005).
Provision is also made for protection to be extended to include
features such as gate lodges, gazebos, etc., which have passed into
new ownership through the break-up of an estate or the division of
a property.
Responsibilities
Under the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as
amended “each owner and each occupier shall, to the extent
consistent with the rights and obligations arising out of their
respective interests in a protected structure or a proposed protected
structure, ensure that the structure, or any element of it which
contributes to its special architectural, historical, archaeological,
artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest, is not
endangered”. Section 58 of the Planning Act further indicates that
“Any person without lawful authority causes damage to a protected
3
structure or a proposed protected structure shall be guilty of
offence”

Development affecting a Protected Structure
Due to a number of factors, not least the fact that many modern
building materials and techniques are often harmful to the fabric of
old buildings, more consideration must be given to the use of
appropriate materials and methods when undertaking works on
Protected Structures. Special provisions have been made in the
Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, to address the
issue of developments that affect Protected Structures. These
provisions include the removal of the usual categories of ‘exempted
development’.
In order to undertake works on a Protected Structure, an owner or
occupier must be in possession of either:
4

Planning Permission, if the proposed works will materially
alter the character of the structure.

A Section 57 Declaration – This is a document available from
the Planning Department of Clare County Council which
states the nature and scope of works that may be
undertaken which will not affect the character of the
building.
Conservation Grant Schemes
Financial
assistance
towards
the
conservation
of
protected
structures may be available under various grants schemes such as
Structures at Risk, Heritage Council grants, Thatching grants and
the Built Heritage Job Leverage Scheme 2014. There are also tax
incentives available from the revenue commissioners. For further
information on current grant schemes please visit www.clarecoco.ie
Planning Permission Procedures for Protected
Structures
Any works to a Protected Structures, which would be normally
considered to be ‘exempted development’, will require planning
permission. Such works include extensions to the rear, or front or
internal or external changes.
Where the application relates to a development which would consist
or comprise the carrying out of works to a protected structure or
proposed protected structure (including the grounds in which the
building is located) newspaper advertisements and site notices must
state that fact. Planning Applications for such developments must
be accompanied by sufficient plans, drawings and particulars to
show how the proposed development would affect the character of
5
the structure. It is not possible to apply for outline planning
permission for development work on a protected structure.
Where a Protected Structure is also designated a Recorded
Monument, the National Monuments Service must be informed in
writing, detailing the proposed work and how it will be completed.
No work shall commence unless and until the National Monuments
Service have given consent. (National Monuments (Amendment)
Act, 1994: Section 12.

Historical Background
The name Ennis is derived form Inis Cluain Rámha Fhada (The
Island Meadow of the Long Rowing), as boats had to be rowed,
against the current, from the Fergus Estuary to the island.
This area and name was later divided into Ennis and Clonroad. The
mediaeval town of Ennis developed around O’ Brien’s Castle at
Clonroad and the nearby Franciscan Friary of Ennis, during the mid
thirteenth century.
The present streets of Abbey Street (formerly Church St.), O’
Connell Street (Gaol St.) and Parnell Street (Mill St.) originally
linked the Square or “The Height” with the Friary, the Tower-house
(Old Ground Hotel) and the Mill, respectively.
Although much of the late mediaeval fabric of Ennis was demolished
during the 1960s and 70s many buildings, features and artefacts
remain to indicate its early origins. Among these are:
(a) Ennis Franciscan Friary c.1240 AD.
(b) The Old Ground Tower house c.1500 AD.
(c) The Brewery, The Square, Ennis c. 1550.
(d) McParland’s House, Parnell Street c.1500 - 1600 AD.
(e) Cruises Pub, Abbey Street 1658.
(f) Abracadabra building Abbey Street c.1600 AD.
(g) Late
Mediaeval
Chamfered
Stone
Window
and
Chamfered
Doorway, at rear return of P Bourke’s, High St. c.1600 AD
(h) Brogan’s and Maurer’s O’ Connell Street c.1650 AD.
(i) Wall plaque discovered during demolition at 10 Abbey Street,
dated 1661 AD.
(j) Wall plaque discovered during demolition, Lower Parnell Street,
dated 1682 AD.
(k) Stone gate hanger and dove-cote at rear of Keane's O’ Connell
Street c.1600 AD.
(l) Stone door hangers, at Leahy & Associates (Architects),
Harvey’s Quay c.1600 AD.
7
(m) Vestiges of the old court house, The Square c.1630.
(n) The Cloister, Bar and Restaurant, Abbey Street c.1550 AD.
(O) Remains of tower house to rear of 44 Abbey Street c.1500 AD.
The geographical distribution of the above items shows that Ennis
was well developed in its present form by the early 17th century,
despite being burned twice by Aodh Ó Domhaill during the nine
years war (1594-1603). The town received its first Royal Charter in
1613 and Ennis Corporation was established.
During the following centuries Ennis continued to expand and
prosper, in spite of the Cromwellian and Jacobite wars of the mid to
late 17th century. A huge increase in population during the late 18th
and early 19th centuries saw the town expand into neighbouring
townlands, mainly in the form of rows of single-storey, thatched
cottages at Drumbiggle, the Turnpike and the Galway Road, known
as the “Bóithrín”. During the same period many large three-storey,
early Georgian houses were erected by the merchant and
professional classes. Among these are The Old Ground Hotel and
Mannion's Travel Agents, O’Connell St., The “Clare People” building,
Carmody St. and Abbey Field House, Abbey St. The finest building
dating from this period in Ennis is probably “The Erasmus Smith
Academy” 1775, College Rd. now part of Coláiste Muire School.
Prosperity, derived mainly from the export of corn, butter, meat and
hides led to the construction of Bindon Street, 1830s and Bank
Place, 1850s, while impressive public buildings e.g. The County
Gaol, The Ennis Workhouse, The Fever Hospital (later Old Military
Barracks), Our Lady’s Psychiatric Hospital, The Court House, St.
Flannan’s College, The Mercy Convent, The Christian Brothers’
Schools and three Neo-Gothic churches were erected in the town
during the 19th century.
Although The County Gaol, The Workhouse and most of the Fever
Hospital and Convent have been demolished since 1950, the town
of Ennis still retains much of its late mediaeval and early modern
character. It is important that we preserve and enhance what
remains of Old Ennis for the benefit and amenity of future
generations and the Record of Protected Structures is designed to
facilitate owners, occupiers, their agents and the Planning Authority
to promote this aim and comply with the relevant legislation.
