1881 DIRECTORY OF ENNIS & CLARE

ENNIS, the county town of Clare, is a parliamentary borough
in the parish of DRUMCLIFFE, and barony of Island, 141 miles
S.W. from Dublin, 40 S. from Galway, 25 N.W. from Limerick,
and 10 E. from Tulla, situated on the river Fergus,
navigable for vessels of considerable tonnage to the village
of Clare. The place derived its name from Innes or Inish,
signifying an island, from the insulation of a considerable
space of ground by the river before mentioned. The town,
which is large but irregularly built, carries and extensive
inland trade, and from the place of export (Clare), large
quantities of corn and timber are shipped and coal received.
The Limerick and Ennis and the Athenry & Ennis Junction
Railway Companies have stations here, and their lines give
railway communication with the principal parts of the
kingdom. Ennis was incorporated by charter of James I. in
1612, and the corporate body styled the “Provost, Free
Burgesses and Commonalty of the town of Ennis.” The provost
was a magistrate within the old borough, the boundary of
which was altered and more strictly defined by the 2nd of
William IV. The provost was entitled by charter to hold a
court of record for recovery of small debts; it has,
however, fallen into disuse, as have the judicial functions
of that officer. The Towns' Improvement Act was adopted in
part, namely, for cleansing and lighting, in 1857. The
general assizes for the county are held in spring and
summer; quarter sessions for the eastern division in
January, April, July and October, and petty sessions every
Friday. These courts are held in the Court House, Lifford,
completed in 1852. It is the Roman-Ionic style, erected at a
cost of £12,000; it is one of the most complete edifices for
the purpose of the kingdom. It contains a splendid suite of
apartments for the county officers; in the hall is a statue,
by Kirk, of the late Sir Michael O'Loghlen, Master of the
Rolls. The site of the building is well chosen, and it
altogether has a very imposing appearance. The bridewell,
formerly the county gaol, is a large modern structure. One
of the most important social reforms that has taken place in
the borough for some time is the construction and erection
of water works (about two miles from the town) at the cost
of upwards of £9,000. The borough sent two members to the
Irish Parliament prior to the Union, since which period it
has returned one to the Imperial Parliament. The present
representative J. Lysaght Finegan, Esq. 9 Wells street,
Gray's Inn road, London. The union workhouse, opened in
1841, is a fine stone building; it will accommodate 1,700
inmates. The County Lunatic Asylum is a magnificent
structure, recently erected at a cost of £59,000, and can
accommodate 260 patients. The County Infirmary is a
convenient building with accommodation for 35 males and 15
females. The Town Hall, which contains a public library, was
erected at a cost of about £860. The O'Connell monument,
erected on the site of the old court house, was inaugurated
on the third of October, 1865. This beautiful column is
surmounted by a colossal stature of the liberator. A
handsome metal bridge, which connects Bindon street with
O'Connell square, has been erected at a cost of £2,000. The
Provincial Bank of Ireland, the National Bank, and the
Munster Bank, Limited, have each a branch bank here, and
there is also a savings bank. There are militia and
constabulary barracks in the town, and a military barrack at
Clare Castle.

The parish church forms part of the ancient abbey, and was
much injured by lightning in 1817, but was renovated by
means of a grant from the late Board of First Fruits. The
organ was presented in 1825 by the Earl of Egremont. A new
Protestant Episcopal church has been erected in Bindon
street. The Roman Catholic church is a fine edifice, well
finished in the interior; three magnificent altars of Caen
stone have been erected and consectrated. The Gothic
ceiling, supported by columns which separate nave from
aisle, is of highly-polished wood, stained and varnished; a
fine organ was erected in 1858, which cost £550. A new Roman
Catholic Diocesan College has been erected from the designs
and under the superintendence of Mr. Francis O'Connor, C.E.
architect. The style adopted is domestic Gothic. The
building is three stories high, the principal front is 240
feet in length, and the two side fronts 120 feet each. The
outer walls are built of ashlar masonry, with dressing of
cut stone. Accommodation is provided for 160 students,
together with apartments for professors, class rooms, dining
halls, &c. A clock tower 20 feet square and 140 feet high is
placed in the center of the building. The cost was £20,000 –
Mr. Patrick Kenna of Limerick was the contractor. A friary
of the order of Saint Francis has been erected at Willow
Bank, on part of the ground of the ancient abbey. It is in
the Gothic style of architecture, and was built by voluntary
contributions through the exertions of the Rev. Mr.
M'Laughlin, at a cost of £1,000; at the eastern end is a
beautiful stained glass window, which cost £260. The
Presbyterian church, opened in 1856, is a neat Gothic
structure, erected at a cost of £570. The Wesleyans also
have a place of worship, and there is a convent and
monastery. Among the schools is the college on the
foundations of Erasmus Smith's bequest; it consists of
several handsome and roomy buildings, situated on a high and
healthful site, convenient to the town and having an
extensive pleasure ground attached. The endowment supplies
professors in classics, science, and modern languages, and
some of the most distinguished men have been educated here.
There are also the Killaloe Diocesan College, the Christian
Brothers', a parochial, and several good private schools,
and those connected with the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy,
in which about 600 girls are daily instructed. Contiguous to
the parish church are interesting remains of, perhaps, one
of the finest abbeys in Ireland; it was erected by Donagh
Carbrac O'Brien, Prince of Thomond, in 1240, in the purest
style of Gothic architecture, for conventual Franciscans,
and in the days of its ecclesiastical plentitude must have
been a superb structure and an extensive establishment. The
grand eastern window is highly imposing being thirty feet
high, and consists of five lancet- shape compartments,
separated by stone mullions, and is universally admired for
its beautifully light proportions and exquisite workmanship.
In the chancel is the Abbot's chair, which, with the altar,
is richly sculptured with figures in high relief and some of
the ancient monuments, also elaborately sculptured still
exist. There are four newspapers published in Ennis. The
market, a good one, is held on Saturday. Fairs are held on
3rd Tuesday in April (two days), 2nd & 3rd September, and
first Sunday in every month. Population of the parish of
Drumcliffe, by the returns made in 1861, 9,708, and in 1871,
8,791, of which the town numbered 6,503.

CLARE, a village and parish, two miles to the south of
Ennis, may be considered the port of the town, as at that
place, as before-mentioned, the exports and imports are
made. The Protestant Episcopal church is a small but neat
structure, and the Roman Catholic church is new and well
built, and there is a National school. There is a good
barrack here (for military), which will accommodate over 300
men, also a constabulary barracks. A ledge of rocks, at the
bridge, prevents the navigation up to the town. This
obstruction is to be deplored, as the depth of water below
the bridge is sufficient to float vessels of heavy burthens
up close to the town of Ennis. Population in 1861, 495, in
1871, 876.
