Confidence has been expressed that a popular bus service serving Clare's county town has "turned a corner" following a problematic period. The operator of the service known as the 'green bus' has pledged to win back the respect and trust of Ennis passengers at a meeting with Ennis's elected representatives. Due to a sharp rise in buses turning up late, at capacity or not arriving at all in recent years, it's been a widely-held belief that the green bus has gone downhill. Dublin Coach's M7 Express Service operates daily and begins at Tralee, serving Ennis and Bunratty as well as locations such as Killarney, Limerick City and Kildare Village, before terminating in Dublin City Centre. To get to the bottom of the aforementioned issues as well as complaints relating to staff behaviour and inadequate bus maintenance, a February meeting of Ennis Municipal District heard Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard call for a briefing to be set up with Dublin Coach Representatives. At the briefing held this week with the Dublin Coach Regional General Manager, who joined the company last October, councillors heard that the service has "turned a corner" since January by expanding its fleet and hiring additional drivers. Frances Cahill says due to the recently-implemented changes, the green bus now has a "bright future". The company claims passenger numbers in Ennis have risen by 100% since the beginning of the year, while service delivery has increased by 96%. At the briefing, Frances Cahill apologised to the people of Ennis on behalf of the provider for issues she said were "unacceptable", and promised not to let passengers down going forward. Councillor Mary Howard is confident the green bus is on its way to returning to being the "great service" it once was.

Telegram Tales from the Central Telegraph's Office, co-produced by Amandine Devine and Ellen McEvoy tells the story of the 24-hour thriving office that kept Ireland's communication on track during the 60s and 70s.Nowadays we are all familiar with instant communication - e-mail, text, and social media, but there was a time when you had to send a telegram if you wanted to contact a person that didn't have a telephone. The contributors Ann Duncan, Cormac O'Brien, Michael Confrey and Seán Creedon, document the history of the office, peppered with memories of their interactions with customers and colleagues. The backdrop is a growing Dublin City Centre and a period of huge change in Irish history from strikes to bombs, to marriages and christenings.Telegram Tales is a nostalgic look at what was the communication of the 60s and 70s, such a necessity that many people had a full career in telegrams, which is a communication which has virtually been wiped out today.

Moore Street – Rising to our FutureThe campaign to save the 1916 Moore Street Battlefield site and those iconic buildings and streetscape that are forever linked to the most important historic event in modern Irish history has reached another potentially decisive moment.In May, An Taoiseach Simon Harris announced the establishment of “a Taskforce to take a holistic view of the measures required to rejuvenate Dublin City Centre, north and south”. The stated objective is to make Dublin City Centre “a more thriving, attractive, and safe cityscape; and a desirable location to live, work, do business and visit.” The Taskforce is expected to report this month (August).International solidarity needed to end Israel's genocidal warBy the end of this week more than 40,000 people, mostly children and women, will have been slaughtered by Israel in the Gaza Strip.  The Strip has been reduced to rubble and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been left without shelter, food, clean water and sanitation. This is an Israeli made humanitarian disaster.Day after day courageous journalists living under constant threat from Israeli snipers, drones and bombs continue to report Israel's targeted bombing of refugees;  the massacre of families living in tents; and of children starving because Israel is preventing food and medical aid from entering Gaza. In recent days Israeli soldiers deliberately destroyed a water treatment plant in the Tel Sultan neighbourhood of Rafah and an MRI machine at the Turkish hospital in Gaza. This is genocide.Féile ArisIt is Féile An Phobail time again. Well done to Kevin Gamble and all the Féile team for once again bringing us a truly outstanding Féile programme. There was a time, now receding in memory for many people and never in the memory of countless more who weren't born in those troubled times, when August,  and the anniversary of Internment, was marked by incursions of British troops and RUC into republican neighbourhoods and  days of rioting and deaths and injuries.Féile An Phobail has replaced all that. It started following the killing in Gibraltar of three local people, IRA Volunteers Dan McCann, Seán Savage and Mairead Farrell at the behest of Margaret Thatcher in March 1988 and the deaths of others at their funerals. Our community was demonised in a tsunami of invective by the establishment media and our political opponents. Féile was a communal response to that.

Governor of New York State, Kathy Hochul, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing a formal partnership between Empire State Development, Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) and Furthr, to grow entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities between businesses in New York and Ireland. The announcement of the new partnership follows a visit to Dublin last week undertaken by Governor Hochul with meetings taking place with Furthr, a founding partner and the managing partner of the Guinness Enterprise Centre. The partnership, formalised in a MOU signed on Friday by Governor Hochul, recognises the entities' shared interest in collaborating on key technology and industry sectors and dedicates resources to creating innovative entrepreneurship opportunities in both New York and in Ireland. "While New York State and Ireland are geographically an ocean apart, we are united in the belief that we are stronger through the sharing of ideas and fostering innovation," Governor Hochul said. "This agreement between New York, the Guinness Enterprise Centre and Furthr, offers real opportunities and the potential for growth for Start-Ups in both economies and will build on our mutual strengths to advance the state's innovation economy." The MOU formalises a relationship between Empire State Development's Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR), the Guinness Enterprise Centre, and Furthr to accelerate technology-based commercialisation initiatives and spur economic activity. Commenting on the MOU signed between the respective parties, Martin Murray, CEO at Furthr said: "Under the agreement, each of the entities will make resources available to accelerate connections between New York and Ireland; share technical information, data, and analytics to inform best practices; and engage in outreach activities with other industry, government, and academic leaders to strengthen the partnership. Today's announcement really opens up a world of exciting opportunities for our Irish client companies to accelerate their growth directly into the US East Coast tech corridor while providing New York start-ups with a supportive landing location and ecosystem in Ireland." Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, "Teaming up with the GEC and Furthr allows us all to share ideas and tap into a wide array of resources and expertise that will unleash unlimited potential for our entrepreneurs and startups on both sides of the Atlantic. This collaboration will foster innovative ideas to grow key segments of our economy." The Guinness Enterprise Centre is Ireland's home for entrepreneurs, housing more than 150 companies representing a range of industries from medtech to digital gaming. The GEC's mission is to empower entrepreneurs to take on local or global markets. Through the GEC, New York-based companies will have an avenue to plug into the Ireland ecosystems and markets, including access to physical space, peer and mentorship networks, academic institutions, and market entry. At over 95,000 square feet in Dublin City Centre, the Guinness Centre supports founders by providing an ecosystem of supports and services, including access to international markets. The GEC is supported in this mission by Furthr whose objective is to provide game-changing impacts to founders through events, mentorship, accelerators, and access to funding. This partnership builds on the work of NYSTAR, which plays a critical role in spurring technology-based applied research and economic development in New York State; promoting national and international research collaboration and innovation; and leveraging New York's research expertise and funding with investments from the federal government, foundations, businesses, venture capital firms and other entities. NYSTAR will be able provide Irish start-up technology companies with physical space; access to capital; coaching; mentoring; networking connections; prototype development; and ac...

An Ireland South Candidate in the European Elections claims the Government has created a shambolic immigration system through a failure to invest.

Dr Fionnula speaks to a system-based approach to gut health how this system is effected by hormonal changes.Explore the revolutionary world of functional medicine, where prevention is the key to a better life. No more treating the symptoms; it's all about early detection and proactive care to prevent chronic diseases and optimize our well-being.Dr Fionnula  guides us through evidence-based nutrition protocols, supplements, and lifestyle changes that we can implement today, paving the way for a healthier gut tomorrow. Dr. Fionnúla McHale pursued her love of science by studying Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. During that time, she secured prestigious research posts at the University of Ulster, Regenerative Medicine Institute in Galway, the University of Miami and the illustrious Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. However, Fionnula's passion lies in healthcare, how to achieve, maintain and ultimately optimize existing health as a positive entity rather than simply the absence of disease. Enthralled by her studies with the Institute for Functional Medicine, she now runs her own private Proactive Health Practice in Dublin City Centre and lectures extensively in universities and private colleges in Ireland.
