Clare Meelick is located in south Clare, just a few kilometres north of Co. Limerick. Many of the closest services to Meelick are located in Limerick rather than Clare. Clare is in the Mid-West Region of Ireland and the province of Munster, on the West Coast by the Atlantic Ocean. The largest town is Ennis and the closest city is Limerick City. County Clare has a rich, traditional Irish culture, and is a popular tourist destination because of its landscapes and wild beauty. The county colours are blue and yellow, and the Gaelic football and hurling teams wear these colours when they play against other counties. Clare is home to key sites including the Burren, a unique, rocky landscape which is habitat for an abundance of animals and plants as well as the Cliffs of Moher which is one of the most visited tourist sites in Ireland. Lahinch in Clare is also a popular surfing destination. For queries or further information related to this document please contact JRS Ireland at [email protected] or (01) 814 8644.

In today’s environment of mobile, financial and human capital, the focus of economic competition is increasingly on city regions. This trend is particularly significant for an open economy such as Ireland which is competing in a global market for investment and talent. In 2014 Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council amalgamated into one body - Limerick City & County Council. As outlined in the Limerick 2030 Vision: An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick report, the objective of this merger was to extend the city boundary to include urbanised parts of the county and was seen as a ‘once in a generation opportunity’ to drive new levels of employment and economic growth. In May 2017 Limerick City & County Council (LC&CC) appointed EY-DKM Economic Advisory Services (formerly DKM Economic Consultants) with MCJ Lemagnen Associates Ltd. (MCJ Lemagnen) to undertake an Economic Profile report of Limerick city (including suburbs as defined by the CSO) and county.
