Ennis traders have secured a resolution to a dispute with Dunnes Stores which saw trucks prevented from carrying out deliveries. Two weeks ago, an electronic barrier was erected by the supermarket at the entrance to its loading bay which also serves businesses on Cook's Lane and O'Connell Street. Following a blockade of the barrier by the Retailers of Ennis Group as well as a meeting with Dunnes Stores management, a system has been established whereby business owners that use the loading bay can call a number to have the barrier lifted. John O'Connor of Custys Music Shop and Retailers of Ennis says it shows the power of engagement and dialogue.

Tense exchanges took place during this week's Ennis Municipal District meeting where residents and business owners flooded the public viewing gallery to observe a discussion about the Draft Ennis Local Transport Plan. After a motion tabled by Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan calling for the removal of proposals to reduce two-lane access to Carmody Street, Mill Road, Clare Road, Clonroad, Lifford Road and Highfield Park received unanimous support, the Clarecastle representative asked for a vote on the matter. This request was denied by Mayor of Ennis, Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard, however, who stated that it couldn't go to a vote as public consultation is ongoing. This was met with fierce opposition from Councillor O'Callaghan as well as Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle and members of the public in the gallery. Clare FM's Seán Lyons was at the meeting and spoke to local businessman Michael Barry who was one of those in attendance. Meanwhile, a local community group is lending its support to the Ennis Local Transport Plan, saying “Ennis Can't Stay Stuck in the Past”.

Retailers of Ennis have imposed a blockade at the delivery entrance of a local supermarket amid claims of "bully-boy" tactics. It follows the erection of an electronic barrier by Dunnes Stores, which is denying delivery trucks access to Cook's Lane and O'Connell Street businesses. The barrier, which is operated by Dunnes Stores, has been in place since Thursday morning, and retailers aren't taking the development lying down. Since the arrival of the supermarket titan in Ennis decades ago, the loading bay located between it and the adjacent multi-storey car park, which extends as far as Cook's Lane, has been used by nearby traders for deliveries, as well as staff parking. This access has become all the more vital for the likes of Custys, Heaslips, Brogans and Cook's Lane Café in the last year with the pedestrianisation of O'Connell Street. Traders and concerned residents have responded to the barrier's installation this morning by blockading the area, thereby preventing Dunnes Stores delivery drivers from carrying out their duties. John O'Connor of Custys Music Shop and the Retailers of Ennis group says it's a David versus Goliath situation. Traders claim they've had no consultation with Dunnes Stores management, while it's understood the store didn't apply for planning permission in advance of installing the barrier. Paul Dillon of Cook's Lane Café claims he isn't being allowed to park in his designated space and that he now has no way of getting stock to his business. Retailers of Ennis say they'll impose a similar blockade next Friday if the matter isn't rectified by then. Lissycasey native Seán Keane is one person who has shown his support to the cause today. He says the retail giant is showing no regard for small businesses.

It's Tuesday, July 1, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Chinese Communists give pastors 3 years in jail for leading church Three pastors from Linfen Covenant Home Church in Shanxi, China have been sentenced to 2-4 years of prison time for various charges related to their leading an unregistered church in the communist country. The church issued a statement, announcing that “We honor the service of Li Jie, Han Xiaodong, and Wang Qiang who suffered for righteousness, and we are willing to bear the cross with the Lord. We receive this verdict with a grateful and obedient heart.” Jesus offers this encouragement in Revelation 2:10 -- “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Brazilian homeschool mother facing $20,000 of fines Today, a Brazilian court will hear a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son.   Regiane Cichelero is facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for choosing home education on religious grounds.  Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case.  Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, pointed out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.”   Regiane continues to homeschool despite the risks involved. Pray for this case, which may serve as a precedent for the other 70,000 homeschooled children in Brazil.   Victory of Christian Colorado camp over transgender agenda Also, Alliance Defending Freedom has announced a favorable settlement for the Idrahaje Christian Camp in Bailey, Colorado. The camp was under threat of losing its license for refusing to submit to state requirements regarding the transgendering of bathrooms and living quarters. The name of the camp is taken from the phrase “I'd rather have Jesus more than anything!”  They use the first two letters of the first four words. The State of Colorado agreed not to take any enforcement action against Camp IdRaHaJe for violation of the gender identity requirements. The state has also clarified in a memo on its website that “churches, synagogues, mosques, or any other place that is principally used for religious purposes” are exempt from the transgendering requirements. Syria's own government helped massacre 1,500 Alawites Reuters has reported on its investigation of the Syrian massacre of 1,500 Alawites in March of this year. The perpetrators included units belonging to the new government based in Damascus. Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa of the Free Syrian Army and Al-Qaeda took over Syria in January of this year. The new government has also instituted a constitution stating that  “The religion of the President of the Republic is Islam. … Islamic jurisprudence is the principal source of legislation.” This constitutes a step up in Islamic rule over Syria. According to Open Doors, Syria is the 18th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Iraq allows Muslim men to “marry” 9-year-old girls The new Iraqi government is also following Islamic Sharia law closely. Earlier this year, Iraq's parliament voted to give Islamic courts more control in family law, and permit child marriages for girls as young as nine years of age.  Supreme Court allows parents to opt kids out & requires porn sites to verify age Here in America, the U.S. Supreme Court is allowing parents opt-out rights for their elementary-aged children from having to participate in homosexual-themed lessons. That comes by a vote of 6 to 3. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito emphasized that “What the parents seek here is not the right to micromanage the public school curriculum, but rather to have their children opt out of a particular educational requirement that burdens their well-established right ‘to direct ‘the religious upbringing' of their children'” under  the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.  Another 6-3 ruling, the High Court has also upheld a Texas Law requiring pornographic websites to verify users are over 18 years of age.  Only adults will be allowed into these sinful activities. Writing for the majority, Justice Clarence Thomas concluded, ”The power to require age verification is within a State's authority to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content.” But, in Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.'  But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” U.S. government buying its own bonds The U.S. government is buying back its own bonds. Barchart reports the largest buyback in history occurred earlier this month.  Under the direction of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the department bought $10 billion of its own bonds.  Federal Reserve on the ropes The Federal Reserve issued $150 billion of bonds in May, but only managed to sell half of them.   Also, the Fed has recorded its first two-year-in-a-row financial loss, totaling $192 billion in 2023 and 2024. This is the first time this has occurred in the Fed's 110-year history. Year to date,  the federal deficit  stands at $1.37 billion as of the end of May. That's 14% higher than last year at this time.  Dad jumps into ocean off Disney Cruise ship to save daughter Here's a story demonstrating a remarkable act of courage and love on the part of a dad. A young child fell off the fourth deck of a Disney cruiseliner on Sunday.   Her father took immediate action, dove in after her. . . and held her while treading water, until a rescue boat pulled them out of the ocean waters. An eyewitness explained what happened to WPLG News. EYEWITNESS: “They were playing shuffleboard that was on the fourth floor. The parents were playing, and then the little girl was climbing up on the railing and flew off.” One passenger said,  “The ship was moving quickly, so quickly, it's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots in the sea, and then you lost sight of them.” Another passenger said, “I saw the mother crying and but when they rescued them, I think that's when the tears really started flowing.  I prayed to God to save them, and He did!” The Disney Dream was heading back from the Bahamas to Fort Lauderdale when the incident occurred. Worldview teens share their hearts 15-year-old Titus Beran in Omaha, Nebraska wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. He said, “I love the verses included in the newscast!

I don't watch the news on a regular basis, but have been continually blessed by the ministry of this website.

God is truly using your Christian newscast to reach people with the truth. It has been a blessing in my life!” What Troy's three boys enjoy about The Worldview Troy in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas talked to his three sons -- Sovereign, age 12, Shalom, age 10, and Apollos, age 7 -- about The Worldview. They said, “I like to start my morning at breakfast listening to it.” “I like how I get to hear about people around the world who need Jesus.”  And “I like that I can hear the news which is filtered through a Biblical lens.” Troy added, “We praise the Lord for all of you and your diligent service to the Lord.

Bhí timpeall 90% de na daoine gortaithe tar éis gach cluiche agus bhí siad go léir ar meisce. I 2005 fuair tábhairneoir fíneáil de 66,500 míle euro de bharr go raibh déagóirí ag obair sa teach tábhairne gan cead. I 1961 bhí triúir cailín óg sa chúirt in Inis de bharr go raibh siad ag rothaíocht an triúr acu isteach taobh le taobh ar Shráid Uí Chonaill. Fuair siad rabhadh gan é a dhéanamh arís. I 2005 d'ordaigh breitheamh le Michael Donnellan chun cócaire a íoc a raibh ag obair dó ag a teach. Choinnigh sé 3,600 euro. Sin 2pac agus Elton John le Ghetto Gospel – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2005.

I 2017 chuaigh Ed Sheeran chuig uimhir a haon don cheathrú huair lena tríú halbam darbh ainm Divide. Chuaigh sé chuig barr na cairteacha I 14 tír eile agus bhuaigh sé Gradam Grammy chomh maith.

     This week we take great pride in presenting three films about people who dream of starting their own businesses.     In the summer of 1963, Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar develop a relationship. Jack, a wannabe rodeo cowboy, dreams of fixing up his parent's ranch and turning it into a success with Ennis. Ennis, a ranch hand haunted by a memory from his childhood, is desperate to not break the facade of domestic normalcy he has built with his wife, Alma, and their two daughters. Ang Lee's masterful examinations of the yearning to belong, societal expectations of normalcy, and the consequences of denying one's true self- Brokeback Mountain.     On the first day of summer in Rome, Alba, a Spanish engineer, picks up Natasha, a Russian bride-to-be, and takes her back to her hotel on both their last night in The Eternal City. Over the next few hours, the women tease and draw each other into the open between rounds of passion. Julio Medem's beautifully shot arthouse romantic comedy about how impactful a single night can be- Room in Rome.     After a youth with a drug-induced smile plastered on, an aspiring comedic performer gets their chance to fulfill their dream and join the cast of UCB Live. Being unable to afford the required training fee, they join with a new friend to start their own underground comedy troupe. A DIY coming of age story, one of the best superhero films ever made, a joyfully screaming satire covering an emotional story of self-acceptance- The People's Joker.     All that and Dave keeps forgetting things, Tyler stays consistent, and Kevin makes a desperate move for his own sanity.

There's only one day left to make submissions on the Ennis Transport Plan. Over 50 residents living near the Old Mill Road in Ennis attended a protest yesterday over council plans to create a one-way traffic system with a cycle lane on a prominent thoroughfare in the town. Under the Draft Ennis Local Transport Plan , its proposed to make the southbound lane of Mill Road stretching from Carmody Street to Harvey Quay's a one way street, to facilitate a footpath, which can't be built at present as a protected structure which cannot be knocked protrudes onto the roadway. It's proposed in this case that Northbound traffic will be re-routed through a residential and commercial area of Cloughleigh. Clare FM's Darragh Dolan was at the protest yesterday and he first spoke to Cloughleigh resident Mary McNamara. A traffic survey by local Garage Owner Pat Foudy has indicated that the new plans will bring up to 5,990 additional vehicles a day up Old Mill Road, and that just 0.2% of traffic analysed on the proposed one-way street at Mill Road was either a pedestrian or a cyclist. The community are now raising concerns over potential congestion as well as road safety issues, particularly in relation to HGVs, while the owner of the protected building at the centre of the controversey claims he was not consulted by the local authority about any potential solution. For more on this, Peter O'Connell was joined by Bridget Ginnity of the Ennis Green Party.
