Clare County Council is calling for a targeted housing & rehousing strategy that caters to elderly people, particularly those living alone in isolated rural areas. The call follows a motion submitted by councillors Joe Garrihy, Tony Mulcahy and John Crowe at this month's meeting of the local authority. Their motion asked that the Council “resolves to prioritise the development of housing solutions for the aging population in County Clare, with a specific focus on those living alone in isolated rural areas.” This comes ahead of the Government's new housing plan, ‘Delivering Homes, Building Communities,' which will be officially launched this morning, Thursday 13th of November. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Sixmilebridge Fine Gael Councillor & Social SPC Chair John Crowe and Shannon Fine Gael Councillor Tony Mulcahy.

Plus, they discuss the malfunction that left 27 people stranded on the Monongahela Incline, a couple big (and questionable) donations from Pennsylvania's richest man, and some important local ice cream news.

Clark County Council is debating a proposal to raise the sales tax by one-tenth of a percent to support affordable housing. Councilor Michelle Belkot opposes the increase unless voters approve it. Other councilors see it as a modest, proactive step toward housing solutions. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/clark-county-council-mulling-a-raise-to-the-sales-tax-to-go-toward-affordable-housing/ #ClarkCounty #AffordableHousing #LocalGovernment #WashingtonState #SalesTax #Homelessness #CommunityNews #PublicHearing

Leitrim County Council is inviting parents and children aged 7 to 12 to explore coding technology together through a series of free, family-friendly sessions as part of Science Week 2025, which runs from November 9th to November 16th. The OurKidsCode workshops will take place across the county at Leitrim's Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) and libraries. OurKidsCode is a nationwide programme developed by a research team at Trinity College Dublin that helps families learn about technology in an enjoyable, hands-on way. No experience is needed - just a laptop and a willingness to learn something new. The workshops are most suitable for children aged 7 to 12, but everyone is welcome. Leitrim County Council has been supporting the programme for 18 months, and it has already proved a hit in Leitrim communities, with excellent feedback from parents and children alike. During Science Week 2025, the two-hour workshops will take place in Leitrim's libraries and BCPs, giving families across the county an opportunity to discover how coding can spark creativity, build problem-solving skills and boost confidence. As well as being a fun and stimulating way for families to spend time with each other, these educational sessions help to address the urban/rural divide by bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) activities to families in rural Ireland. In time, initiatives like OurKidsCode could open doors for future opportunities for people to live and work in their home counties, as so many careers in computing and technology can be done from home. The workshops have also seen significant numbers of girls shine in the fun environment, which could lead to a higher take-up of STEAM careers for young women. Martina Gilmartin, facilitator of the OurKidsCode programme in Leitrim, said: "Working as a facilitator with OurKidsCode here in Leitrim, it has been lovely to see parents and children sitting together, laughing, creating, problem-solving, and being proud of what they achieve as a family. "In this very tech-savvy world, many parents worry about children spending too much time on screens. OurKidsCode offers something completely different - active, creative computer time rather than passive screen time. Coding helps children to think, to problem solve, to plan and sequence, to make patterns and to persevere. In truth, it is about more than coding. It is about connection - between parents and children, between families and communities, and between creativity and technology." Nicola Mc Manus, Broadband Officer at Leitrim County Council, said: "Leitrim County Council are delighted to be part of this very worthwhile initiative with Trinity College and OurKidsCode in bringing coding workshops to young people and their families in County Leitrim. We encourage families to take this opportunity to support our young people to access valuable learning in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths." Fiona Wheeldon, who participated in an OurKidsCode workshop with her sons, said: "We really loved the coding workshop provided by OurKidsCode over four days in Manorhamilton library last year. My two sons (5 & 9 at the time) and I learnt lots about Micro:bit, Scratch & Makey Makey - how to use them and where to go to get our own. My kids are still interested in coding now, with the younger one doing some Makey Makey projects, and the older one doing Makecode Arcade at home." If parents, parent associations, and community groups would like to enquire about hosting Our Kids Code workshops at their local BCPs, they can email nicola.mcmanus@leitrimcoco.ie for further information. To take part or find out more and to register, contact your local library, your nearest BCP, or phone Martina Gilmartin on 087 154 5012. Families can find more information at www.ourkidscode.ie.

I 1993 tháinig na Gardaí amach ag rá go raibh pléascóg thine nua agus dainséarach ann agus go mbeadh pléasc mhór ann.

Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 1st of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1976: Parents and teachers were advised to check with publishers if they think they are being overcharged for school books. Overcharging could legally occur as there was no maximum price order fixed on school books. 1993: Gardai fear that a new and dangerous type of firecracker, capable of creaiting powerful explosions, were imported to Ireland andw ill be offered to kids in the run up to halloween. 2003 - Lowry announced was relinquishing his seat on North Tipperary County Council in order to comply with the abolition of the dual mandate. Sean Fogarty, Moyne. was selected to replace him on the County Council.  2010 - Almost seventy public houses in County Tipperary were looking like they would close permanently if they didn't renew their licences. Tipperary was the third-highest suffering rural county in the country and comes in sixth in the overall list.

Cllr. Jackie Healy-Rae joins Treasa Murphy to talk about why he wants Kerry County Council to amend its standing orders. Cllr. Healy-Rae wants any prospective candidate in future Presidential elections, who is seeking to make a presentation to the full Kerry County Council to win its nomination, to first secure the sponsorship of at least one elected member of the council. He argues that this would deter frivolous presidential candidates from seeking the council’s nomination.

All the drama around inclusionary zoning is back and bigger than ever. Mayor Ed Gainey might even veto an affordable housing bill he's been pushing for over a year. Pittsburgh International Airport “can't accommodate” a controversial video from Trump's Department of Homeland Security, and its officials are preparing for the new terminal's big reveal — including a lot of help from a bunch of “celebrity personas” like PA's own Taylor Swift. Host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk and producer Sophia Lo explain what to expect, the latest on City Paper, and why the biggest party of the year might just take place inside a 12-foot Millvale raccoon.

"Too little too late", that's what we're hearing from some farmers who've already ploughed up and planted fields that were being farmed for nature. They say this is because the government took too long to come up with an extension to their environmental funding. A House of Lords Committee says the Windsor Framework, the post-Brexit agreement between the UK and EU that's meant to simplify trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is "overwhelmingly complex". Powys Council has just closed a consultation on plans for a new farm policy, which includes the possibility of selling some of its council owned farms. The Council says incomes are too low and maintenance costs too high on some of its farms, but local council farm tenants hope farming will remain a key part of council plans.

England's current approach to planning for floods is "underpowered and fragmented". That's according to a report from MPs which is published today. The Environmental Audit Committee says the Government should set up a single joint flood reporting and information service and spend more on flood resilience, with a fairer funding formula for rural areas. The MPs say farmers can play a key role, for instance in storing water, but should be paid for their work. We've been talking to all the major political parties over the past few weeks, during party conference season. The SNP conference continues in Aberdeen today and with elections to the Scottish Parliament in May there is a lot to discuss.Over the past few decades many councils have been reassessing their property portfolios and council farms have been sold off. This week we'll look at why, and why some feel that's a mistake. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

The move comes four years after the Prince George's County Council voted unanimously to allow data centers to be built 'by right,' meaning for most sites, developers wouldn't need council approval. Now, leaders are reconsidering that process. We asked Prince George's County Councilmember Wanika Fisher for her thoughts.

The Clark County Council has set an Oct. 14 vote on Michelle Belkot's original resolution condemning political violence, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Debate continues over amendments and unity. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/clark-county-council-to-vote-on-belkots-original-resolution-condemning-political-violence/ #ClarkCounty #Politics #ClarkCountyCouncil #MichelleBelkot #CharlieKirk #Resolution #PublicComment #Oct14 #Unity #Violence

Clare County Council may have decided not to nominate any candidate for the Presidential Election at a special meeting yesterday, but the occasion wasn't without its drama. One candidate accused the council of actively blocking her campaign to get on the ballot, while the Mayor of Ennis branded one hopeful as unprofessional and disrespectful and said their presentation was a disservice to the women of Ireland. The field of 5 candidates involved activists, Gaeilgeoirs and Mathematicians, but ultimately no budding President obtained the magic number. Clare FM's Daragh Dolan has this report from Áras Chontae An Chláir.

The Clark County Council will debate an amended resolution that broadens from political violence to all violence. Councilor Michelle Belkot, who drafted the original measure after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, says the changes weaken its intent, while Reform Clark County's Rob Anderson calls the new version “watered-down.” https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/updated-resolution-to-denounce-violence-to-be-discussed-by-clark-county-council/ #ClarkCounty #PoliticalViolence #MichelleBelkot #CharlieKirk #ReformClarkCounty #MelissaHortman #Resolution #VancouverWA

Nestled under the canopy of trees at Wheaton Regional Park, residents from all walks of life gather to celebrate what connects us rather than what separates us."Whatever happens around us here in Montgomery County, we're going to make it work across our various diverse lines, across cultural lines, across religious lines," declares Jim Stowe, Director of the Office of Human Rights and driving force behind the event. His vision of Dr. King's "beloved community" isn't just rhetoric—it's being lived out through food, music, and genuine human connection.The magic of the picnic lies in its simplicity: "Zero drama, 100% fun, 100% food, 100% music." Children form instant friendships at the reptile petting zoo while adults sample unfamiliar cuisines and engage in conversations that go beyond superficial greetings. County Council members, public safety officials, and department representatives mingle with residents, breaking down barriers between government and the people it serves.When asked why friendship matters, responses range from the profound to the practical. "Friendship is the family we choose for ourselves," reflects a visitor from New York. "We learn together and we grow together." A young boy offers the simplest truth: "Without friendship we would all be lonely."In these divided times, the Friendship Picnic stands as a testament to what's possible when we focus on our shared humanity. As County Councilmember Andrew Friedson puts it, the event shows "hope at a time of despair" and demonstrates "what belonging and community really looks like."Join us next September for this annual tradition that reminds us all: in Montgomery County, we're making community work, one friendship at a time.
