Retail, Commercial, Employment and Enterprise

Adare is a service centre for its own community, the surrounding area and visitors alike with a mix of retail and services.  In recent years, the village has served as home to many commuters to Limerick City and Environs. Adare’s many attractions and its location on the main  artery between Dublin and Kerry has long made Adare an attractive area for tourism and tourist accommodation is available in Adare Manor, The Dunraven Arms and in a number of Guest houses and Bed and Breakfast establishments located throughout the village and surrounding area. The development of business, enterprise and employment in the village and any expansion of existing facilities needs to be planned and managed to ensure an appropriate mix of     facilities to sustain this vibrant community. The proposed Plan will need to examine and identify any shortfalls in the provision of services and allow for the adequate zoning of lands to support this type of development.
