It's claimed the trust between Clare County Council and its elected members has been shattered following the purchase of two "special interest sites" at the Cliffs of Moher for over €8m. The purchase was made by the local authority in 2023, however most councillors only found about the deal this week after it was published in a government audit of the council. The council has stated that the purchase was key to the successful implementation of the Cliffs of Moher 2040 Strategy, which has not been adopted by councilors. Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the auditor will be asked to appear before their next meeting to get to the bottom of the issue and ensure its never repeated.

Shannon's elected representatives have vowed to block any future proposals that would decrease staffing and resources at the town's fire station.

The Government has been accused of tying Clare councillors' hands behind their backs. Shannon Municipal District councillors have expressed their disappointment following the revelation that the area's roads maintenance budget has been slashed by 7% this year. Of the €27 million countywide budget, over €3 million is from the local authority's own resources, and Clare County Council Senior Engineer Cyril Feeney has claimed this should be closer to €6 million due to construction inflation. Cathaoirleach of Shannon Municipal District, Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman, believes councillors should have a greater role in deciding budgets for their areas.

It's claimed West Clare has been left in a spiral of playing catch up when it comes to its roads network. Although the Kilrush Electoral Area's schedule of works budget has been increased by 40% this year to €8.5m, the majority of this will go towards local and regional roads. Transport Infrastructure Ireland, meanwhile, has recently allocated Clare just over €2m for works on national roads, but none of this has been ringfenced for the west of the county. Cathaoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District Councillor Rita McInerney says the most important roads are being ignored.

Ennis's local representatives have described a cut to the area's roads funding for this year as "unacceptable". Both the county town and Shannon will have less money to put towards roads maintenance in 2025, while the county's other municipal districts have seen their level of funding increase. Clare County Council has revealed that its total roads maintenance budget this year is €27.44 million which is up 12% on 2024. The budget is supplemented by various Government funding streams, while a total of €3.21 million comes from the local authority's own resources. The increased funding is welcome given that newly-released figures show the county's roads maintenance works have gone over budget by €2.42 million in the last three years, with 2024's works alone going €1.48 million over budget. While the Killaloe, Kilrush and Ennistymon municipal districts have each had their funding boosted this year, Ennis and Shannon's allocation's have been cut by 12% and 7%, respectively. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle insists the Government should be giving local authorities' more resources to bring their roads up to an acceptable standard.

会談に臨む自民党の武見敬三参院議員会長と立憲民主党の水岡俊一参院議員会長ら、２８日午前、国会内自民、立憲民主両党の参院幹部は２８日、国会内で会談し、参院で審議中の２０２５年度予算案について協議した。 Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party on Friday broadly agreed with the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan to put a revised government budget bill for fiscal 2025 to votes at the Budget Committee of the House of Councillors, the upper parliamentary chamber, and at a plenary session of the Upper House, both on Monday.

Auckland Council staff say neither proposal for a new or upgraded "main stadium" is viable. Councillors will decide on Thursday whether to endorse upgrades to Eden Park or a new stadium by the waterfront. But advisors have reviewed the options and can't recommend either. Felix Walton has more.

There's a belief the bigger problem with Auckland's stadiums is not having the right sized venues. Councillors are set to vote tomorrow on whether to back Eden Park 2-point-1 or build a new Quay Park site. The latter project can be scaled down to 20-thousand for smaller events, from 50-thousand for big ones. But Rugby World Cup 2011 chief executive Martin Snedden told Mike Hosking they can't keep putting smaller events like test cricket into big stadiums. He says even if they build the new stadium and it gets five-thousand people to smaller games, they'll have the same problem. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Auckland Councillors are due to vote on two competing projects to be Auckland's main stadium today - but advice from Council staff is that neither is a viable option without significant public funding.
