Changes To Consumer Behaviour Attributed To High Commercial Vacancy Rates Across Clare
Changes to consumer behaviour have been attributed to the high rates of commercial vacancy across Clare. The latest GeoDirectory report shows Shannon's commercial vacancy rate has increased to 34.9%, and remains the highest in the country, despite the national average falling for the first time on record. Kilrush and Ennis also recorded vacancy rates above the national average, with both towns recording high numbers of retail premises among occupied units. GeoDirectory CEO Dara Keogh has been telling Clare FM's Darragh O'Grady that a wider array of options needs to be provided for consumers.
