Key Town Ennis Ennis, with a population of 25,276 in 2016, is the largest town in Munster and the fifth largest settlement in the Region. The triangle of Limerick-Shannon-Ennis is recognised as the economic engine of the Mid-West. The M18 has created a greater synergy and connection between Ennis and Galway and there is potential to attract economic drivers/ infrastructure such as data centres. In this context, Ennis should build on its current talent and skills offer and attract a higher- level education campus. The preparation of the ‘Ennis 2040 Economic and Spatial Strategy’ offers an opportunity to create a long-term strategy for the sustainable development of the town.
