Ballyea manager Robbie Hogan says his side will have to dust themselves down and take the positives from their performance in the first game of the TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship. His side fell to a one point defeat to Kilmaley leaving them on the back foot in Group 4 ahead of their crucial second round clash with Scariff. The 2022 county champions had looked set to open their account with a win as they held an 11 point lead at half time, after Tony Kelly netted twice in first half. Hogan's been telling Clare FM's Derek Dormer that their inability to get on breaking ball in the second period let them down. Meanwhile, Clooney Quin Boss Fergal Lynch is lauding his sides staying power as they kicked off their campaign with a win. A late surge saw them claim a three point victory over Broadford to sit second in Group 2, with leaders Inagh-Kilnamona providing the opposition in the next round. Lynch says his players have finished strong in every game they've played this year.

Clare Councillors Submit First Motion Calling For Jenny's Law To Be Published

In April 2021, Jennifer Poole's life was tragically and violently taken from her by a man she once trusted, someone whose long history of violence remained hidden from her, and from a system that should have protected her. This tragedy compelled her brother, Jason Poole, to stand up, not only for Jennifer, but also for every woman in Ireland who lives in fear behind closed doors. Her death triggered the launch of a national campaign for “Jennie's Law”, which represents a powerful call for systemic and fundamental change to Ireland's approach to domestic violence. Jennie's Law would essentially establish a Domestic Violence Register if it becomes legislation and is modelled of Claire's Law which already exists in the UK since 2014. A motion calling for the legislation to be published has passed at the latest meeting of Clare County Council this week. Clare FM's Daragh Dolan was there for the historic moment and spoke to Mayor of Ennis Cllr Mary Howard who represents Rape Crisis MidWest on the Clare Local Area Network, but firstly Newmarket-On-Fergus Cllr David Griffin who raised the motion and has been engaging with the Justice Minister on the matter.

Tense exchanges took place during this week's Ennis Municipal District meeting where residents and business owners flooded the public viewing gallery to observe a discussion about the Draft Ennis Local Transport Plan. After a motion tabled by Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan calling for the removal of proposals to reduce two-lane access to Carmody Street, Mill Road, Clare Road, Clonroad, Lifford Road and Highfield Park received unanimous support, the Clarecastle representative asked for a vote on the matter. This request was denied by Mayor of Ennis, Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard, however, who stated that it couldn't go to a vote as public consultation is ongoing.
