It's being argued a south Clare village undergoing "major changes" is in need of a playground. Ardnacrusha Fianna Fáil Councillor Rachel Hartigan is calling for plans to be developed for a playground in Clonlara.

Councillor Hartigan says there's a huge appetite for such an amenity in the area.

It's claimed Clare "lost the run of itself" when it comes to the house size. Figures published by the Department of Housing show just 302 social housing units were delivered in this county in 2024.

Clonlara planning consultant and Independent Councillor Michael Begley says the county is finally getting back on track as regards building appropriately-sized dwellings.

The local authority will consider moving a stop sign in South-East Clare that's reportedly more often than not "facing nowhere".

Truagh Clonlara Coach Eoin Powell After All Ireland Final Loss

One of The Banner's intercounty camogie backroom staff says Truagh Clonlara have paved the way for a future club All Ireland title in Clare. The south east Clare fell to defeat against Sarsfields of Galway as they tried to become the first side from the Banner to take home senior club All Ireland honours. The McGrath sisters proved too much for the Clare and Munster champions, notching 1-12 between them, Siobhan scoring 1-5 with Niamh adding a further seven points in a player of the match display. Clare camogie selector Ann Marie McGann says Truagh Clonlara ran into a juggernaut in Sarsfields, but that they will prove an inspiration for Clare sides going forward.

The reward is a trip to Croke Park to face off against Galway champions Sarsfields, with the game set for a 4.15pm start on December 15th.

It is time for the eighteenth episode of our newest feature on Morning Focus, Village Tour, where Alan Morrissey paid a visit to Clonlara.

It's claimed the people of south-east Clare feel as if they're in "no man's land" due to the allegedly poor provision of services in the region. Clare County Council operated a service office in the village of Westbury up until 2016 but it was closed after an examination found only 400 people visited the office for non-motor tax queries in the space of a year. At the time, the local authority it was taking the decision because "access to online facilities is now much greater than when online access facilities were initiated at the office". Clonlara resident and Fine Gael local election candidate Val Gillane believes the office should resume services as people in the area don't feel represented by Clare County Council.

A south-east Clare councillor who's called for trees overlooking a local social housing estate to be reduced in height says he doesn't anticipate any environmental backlash to the proposal. Clonlara's Glór na Srutha social housing estate, which came on stream in 2015, is situated beside a cluster of tall evergreen trees which were planted to shield the former wastewater treatment plant on the site. Shannon Municipal District has conceded that the trees are "no longer required" as the plant is gone and "assessment will be arranged with maintenance works based on the outcome". Independent Clonlara Councillor Michael Begley believe it's necessary to reduce the trees' height due to their "uncontrollable" nature which is negatively impacting residents' lives.

Residents and business owners near Clare's coasts and waterways may be forced to abandon their properties in the coming years due to major flooding. It follows the publication of a new government report this week which claims that Ireland's sea level is on track to rise by at least 1m by 2100 due to the pace of global warming. The National Coastal Change Management Strategy has identified a number of settlements in this county as high risk including areas of Miltown Malbay, Ballyvaughan, Lahinch, Kilkee, Newmarket, Clonlara and Ennis.

Manager of the Monk's Restaurant in Ballyvaughan, Patrick O'Donoghue says its vital action is taken now to prevent future devastation. Meanwhile Lahinch Green Party Councillor Liam Grant believes its vital that the €3m climate fund announced in Budget 2024 is used to provide infrastructure in vulnerable communities.

What began as a microschool in 1967 for Clonlara School founder Pat Montgomery's two children and six others has grown into an internationally-renowned, K-12 private school serving 2,000 off-campus students around the world through its online program, as well as a small group of on-campus students at its Ann Arbor, Michigan headquarters. It quickly became clear that parents outside of Ann Arbor were attracted to this learning model, particularly as the modern homeschooling movement gained traction beginning in the 1970s. Some Michigan families were investigated or charged with truancy for homeschooling their children, so Montgomery mounted a lawsuit against the Michigan State Board of Education. Thirty years ago this month, on May 25, 1993, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in Clonlara's favor. That case, and two related ones that were decided on the same day, secured homeschooling rights in the state. Today, I am so honored to be joined by Pat Montgomery and her daughter, Chandra Montgomery Nicol, who was Clonlara's first student, served as its longtime Executive Director, and is now Clonlara's board chair.
