Kilrush Commuters' Survey 
The Kilrush Industry & Enterprise Task Force recognises there is a need to research the attitudes of the substantial number of commuters employed in Kilrush. The research should examine the factors influencing the decision to commute to Kilrush rather than reside there. This research is now being conducted by the Community & Enterprise Directorate, Clare County Council, on behalf of Kilrush Chamber of Commerce and Kilrush Town Council.
We are asking you to contribute to this important piece of research by completing and returning this short questionnaire. All information provided in the questionnaire is strictly confidential. The questionnaire should take about 10 minutes to complete. Each person completing the questionnaire will be entered into a free draw sponsored by the Kilrush Town Council for a chauffeur-driven limousine to dinner for 2 at Kilrush Golf Club and round of golf.
The findings of the research will be presented to the Kilrush Industry & Enterprise Task Force, which will formulate recommendations to address the issues arising from the survey.
You should seal your completed questionnaire in the envelope provided and return to the appointed person in your organisation, or to the Community & Enterprise Directorate, Unit 7, Quin Road Business Park, Ennis. The closing date for the return of completed questionnaires is Wednesday October 30th. If you have any questions please contact Aileen Carey on 6846512.
