Ennis 2040 COO to leave position at end of January to Explore New Opportunities
Chief Executive of Clare County Council Pat Dowling has been informed by the Chair of Ennis 2040 DAC that its Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Corrigan, has tendered his resignation with effect from the end of January.
Mr Corrigan leaves the post after three and half years during which time he helped drive the development plans for a number of sites in Ennis as part of the Ennis 2040 Strategy. He also led the acquisition of several key sites instrumental to the successful delivery of the strategy.
Mr Corrigan said, “I would like to thank the Council, the Board and the talented team at Ennis 2040 for their support over the last three and a half years. While now is the right time to explore other opportunities, I look forward to watching the regeneration of Ennis into the future.”
Wishing Mr Corrigan well in his future endeavours, Mr Dowling expressed his gratitude for the commitment and drive he brought to the set up and delivery of the ambitious Ennis 2040 project.
The CE of Clare County Council has assigned Padraic McElwee, Head of Enterprise in Clare County Council to oversee the Ennis 2040 project, pending the completion of a recruitment process to appoint a new Chief Operating Officer, and this has been agreed with the Board of Ennis 2040 DAC.
Mr McElwee brings extensive experience and knowledge to the role. Aligned with his professional qualifications, background in financial services and his in-depth knowledge of the local business environment, he is well placed to continue the progressive work of Ennis 2040 DAC.
Mr McElwee said he looks forward to working closely with the Board of Ennis 2040 DAC, elected members of Clare County Council and the wider business community, “to realise our shared ambition to maximise the potential of Ennis as the primary economic driver for the county and our people.”
Chair of Ennis 2040 DAC, Gerry Cahill said, “I would like to thank Kevin for his passion, steadfastness and the role he has played in laying very strong foundations for the next phase of development. As a board we will continue to work with Padraic McElwee to ensure the continued development of the Ennis 2040 DAC projects in the long-term interests of Ennis and its stakeholders.”
