Avenue United manager David Russell says this year's league success is the sweetest of his tenure as manager. Avenue sealed their third Clare Premier Division title in the last six years with a dramatic 2-0 final day victory over Bridge United in Roslevan , courtesy of goals from Sean O'Callaghan and Eoghan Thynne. The Ennis side won 13 consecutive league games to round off the season following shock back to back defeats in late February and early March. Russell says those results coupled with an exit from the FAI Junior Cup led the entire county to write them off.

Publicans are calling on the Government to treat them all equally. The Vintners Federation met in Limerick on Tuesday for their annual general conference.

CEO of the Vintners Federation, Pat Crotty, says many publicans are facing very difficult trading conditions...

Veteran tower Jared Innis pulls back the curtain on the economic realities of the towing industry in this eye-opening conversation about survival in a challenging business landscape. With 31 years of experience and as president of the Missouri Tow Truck Association, Ennis offers a frank assessment of the issues threatening towing companies across America.The financial mathematics of towing simply don't add up for many operators. When insurance companies cap towing reimbursements at $5,000 while actual recovery costs for major truck accidents often exceed $50,000, who absorbs that difference? Innis reveals a startling statistic: between 30-40% of towed commercial vehicles are never reclaimed, leaving towing companies holding worthless damaged equipment after providing essential public safety services."We're seeing they have cargo only and liability on the truck and trailer, and we're getting trashed trucks and trailers," Innis explains. "It's become more of a challenge because you're getting paid for basically a third of the bill and getting stuck with junk."The conversation shifts to the legislative battles being fought in Missouri, where proposed regulations threaten to create a towing recovery review committee with just one tower among seven members who would have authority over billing disputes. Even more concerning, a provision would allow customers who dispute a bill to retrieve their vehicle without payment, effectively eliminating the tower's ability to secure compensation for services rendered.Locally, Kansas City faces its own crisis following allegations of "predatory towing" that have prompted reactionary ordinances. Jackson County's proposed regulations would charge towing companies $1,000 plus $250 per truck for licensing—ten times what surrounding counties charge—while implementing a punishment structure where a single violation by one driver could potentially shut down an entire company.Whether you're in the towing industry or simply rely on these essential services, this conversation offers valuable perspective on the challenges facing the businesses we count on to keep our roadways clear and safe.

Staff and students of an Ennis secondary school are expressing disappointment as plans for a bus shelter appear to have hit a dead end. After engagements with Clare County Council, the National Transport Authority and the Department of Education, there remains no clear funding stream for the much requested piece of infrastructure. Roughly two years ago, the Student Council of St Flannan's College made it known to school management that a bus shelter had been identified as a priority project by the student body which currently numbers 1,280. Those who avail of a school bus service at St Flannan's currently have to wait on the footpath beside the school gates on Cusack Road which although sheltered by trees has no protection from the elements. Leaving Cert student Brendan O'Halloran, who sits on the Student Council, says it deters people from wanting to get the bus. After becoming aware of the problem, the school's principal, Father Ignatius McCormack, wrote to the National Transport Authority to request the installation of a bus shelter. Having been told the matter wasn't within the authority's remit, he then contacted the Department of Education but this effort also proved fruitless as he was informed there's no designated funding stream for such a project. Clare County Council was the next port of call in the school's bid to secure funding and a meeting was held between a school official, an Ennis Municipal District engineer and a Department of Education representative to this end in November 2024. This meeting heard however that the local authority has no responsibility for the provision of a bus shelter at the location as the bus stop isn't publicly used. Father McCormack is remaining hopeful Clare County Council will fund the project. Exploring another avenue, the Student Council recently contacted Clarecastle Fine Gael Councillor Paul Murphy who subsequently raised the matter at a recent meeting of Ennis Municipal District. A response from a Senior Engineer reiterated the view that such a development is the responsibility of either the school itself or the Department of Education. Councillor Murphy believes engaging with the Department to be the most viable way of progressing the project. A recent survey conducted by the Student Council has found that over 300 students at St Flannan's get the bus which accounts for over a quarter of its enrolment. Student Council member Aoibheann O'Dwyer insists if schools want to make travelling bus more appealing, the right infrastructure must be in place.

Losing a loved one can be unbearably painful. When somebody near and dear dies, it's understandable that one would want to hold onto anything that helps to keep their memory alive. However, sometimes it's not possible to hold on to all their belongings, quite often for very practical reasons. Susan, who lives in Ennis, lost her husband two years ago. He was a real lover of music, and, during his life, amassed a very large record collection. Susan has decided the time has come to part with her husband's huge collection of vinyl records. Alan paid a visit to Susan's home to find out more.

It's hoped a proposed healthcare facility in Clare's county town will put an end to years of hardship for many people. It comes as a planning application has been submitted for a renal dialysis facility in the Clare Technology Park which is located off the Gort Road in Ennis. As many as 80 members of the Irish Kidney Association's Clare branch currently travel to Limerick or Galway each month for dialysis.

Businesses in Ireland are taking a “wait and see” approach to capital investment, amid ongoing uncertainty over US tariffs. That's according to the Government's Annual Progress Report, which has been published. It highlights the unpredictability of US trade policy, as President Donald Trump continues to threaten sweeping tariffs. In the report, the Government has revised down its economic growth forecasts due to global uncertainty and warned that a transatlantic trade war will lead to a further economic weakening. It expects Ireland's domestic economy to expand by 2.5% this year, down from an earlier forecast of 2.9%. In the event of a tariff war between the EU and US, it said growth this year would be forecast at 2%, falling to 1.75% next year. Alan has been discussing this with the Ennis economist and Assistant Professor of Social Policy at UCD, Micheál Collins.. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of state, Timmy Dooley.

A Clare café owner claims supplier price gouging is forcing businesses to close and putting undue pressure on those that survive. With a new survey indicating a spike in food businesses closing their doors this year, proprietors are pointing to rising costs as their greatest challenge. A total of 150 restaurants, gastro pubs or other food businesses ceased trading in the first three months of this year, according to new figures from the Restaurants Association of Ireland. Of the 170 respondents to the RAI's survey, 65% reported a decline in financial performance last year, compared to 2023. The finding is unsurprising given RAI data indicates that between 2022 and 2025, the price of fruit and vegetables has gone up by nearly 50%, while beef is up 96% and chocolate has soared by a startling 157%. It's also reported that menu costs haven't kept pace with these rising input costs, increasing by just shy of 17% for lunch and less than 19% for dinner. Frank Landy of Sweet 'n' Green in Ennis believes large suppliers are taking advantage of global circumstances at the expense of small businesses. A whole 94% of the survey's respondents foresee a continued rise in food costs this year, while 88% expect beverage prices to do likewise. To stay afloat, four in five restaurants are preparing to cut staff hours and 70% expect to reduce overall staff numbers. Tony Cogan of Cogan's Bar and Restaurant in Miltown Malbay says he's just about breaking even and has to watch every single cent.

Karrieann now suffers from skin damage and has had to have 18 moles removed. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Personal Trainer in Ennis, Karrieann McDonnell. Photo(C): ClareFM

We are ready for a classic, British "grudge match" that is over two years in the making, as host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael return on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast!"They start with a preview of Saturday's Turki Alahiikh/DAZN card in LondonRivals Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr., finally meet after an over two year delay due to Benn failing a PED test prior to their 2022 bout. Will we see fireworks like the elder Eubank battling the elder Benn in the early 1990s?? The guys discuss.It's a solid undercard with veteran Liam Smith meeting unbeaten but untested Aaron McKenna in a  middleweight showdown.Also, Anthony Yarde takes on Lyndon Arthur in their third fight, as the light heavyweights have split their two meetings. The winner stays relevant in the contender picture, too.Alos, former WBO cruiser weight champ Chris Billam-Smith is back on this show.Then, some NewsDan is reporting on Tank Davis-Lamont Roach 2, which was penciled in for June 21 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will still take place but will move into July or August. Also, Dan has learned that Top Rank and PBC have an agreement to put on WBC junior lightweight titlist O'Shaquie Foster defending against WBC featherweight titlist Steven Fulton that isn't signed yet, but there's a plan to have it as the Tank-Roach 2 co-feature assuming it gets finalized.  The IBF officially ordered the Daniel Dubois heavyweight mandatory vs. Derek Chisora. But, Dubois can get out of for the next fight if the Oleksandr Usyk unification is finalized before the purse bid is ordered.  Comically, the WBA outlined its welterweight title situation – approved (as fully expected) Ryan Garcia-Rolando Romero for the vacant “regular” title on May 2. Jaron Ennis, now the “super” champion, ordered to fight mandatory Shakhram Giyasov next. WBA said Ennis-Giyasov winner will be mandated to face the Garcia-Romero winner (but highly unlikely next since it's going to be Garcia-Devin Haney II in the fall if they win May 2).  Finally, Dan is also reporting that Top Rank and Ohashi Promotions are discussions WBO welterweight titlist Brian Norman vs. Japanese contender Jin Sasaki in Japan or might the Ennis unification still happen?Hear it all on the "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/ Spreaker/Spotify.And, SEE our nostalgia fights for this weekend on the Big Fight Weekend Youtube page, as well!
