The O’Connell Monument in Ennis town is an impressive monument to Daniel O’Connell, a legend in Irish history.
11 June 2009 - PolaroidTHE O’CONNELL MONUMENT: This is an impressive Doric column erected on the site of the old courthouse where Daniel O’Connell was declared M.P. for Clare in 1828, an historic event which was later to result in the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Act. The statue of the Liberator with a shamrock scroll around the base was executed by James Cahill of Dublin and is considered to be his finest work. (source)

Looking down the stairs in the public car park in Ennis, County Clare a few weeks ago. That was one hell of a tight car park to navigate. There was hardly any room to make corners or go up and down ramps.
Elevator only goes to the top two floors too and a sign on the ground floor warns parents or people with buggies and kids to park up there.
