It's claimed the addition of a new large business in Ennis showcases a clear need for an expanded retail offering throughout the town. Woodies officially opened its 36th Irish store at the Ballymaley Business Park on the Gort Road on Saturday , creating 34 jobs in the process. Crowds queued outside the premises from 3am to get a first look at the new store, giving rise to speculation that Ennis' retail market has broader potential. Clare FM's Daragh Dolan was there for the opening.

The Health Minister claims not enough focus has been on Clare and Tipperary with respect to healthcare.

Speaking in the Dáil, Minister MacNeill says improving community care and integrated care in the region means giving Ennis and Nenagh the attention they deserve.

An Ennis man is preparing to undertake what he believes will be a first-of-its-kind challenge on Ireland's longest river, all in memory of his late wife. This August, Trevor Murphy plans to paddle the entire navigable length of the River Shannon — a remarkable 234-kilometre journey from County Cavan to Limerick City — on a stand-up paddleboard. Trevor is taking on the challenge in memory of his wife Emma, a Clarecastle native and mother of their three children, who sadly passed away in January 2025 following a courageous battle with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The fundraiser will support breast cancer research and celebrate Emma's life, courage and legacy. Trevor Murphy joined Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus.

The Mayor of Ennis says she's looking forward to a brighter future for housing in the town. It's after An Coimisúin Pleanála ruled in favour of Glenveagh Homes Plans to build a 300-unit estate near Drumbiggle. While sites at Ashline and at Claureen have also been confirmed for an investment of between €10m and €20m under the Housing Infrastructure Investment Fund that will unlock lands for the construction of up to 1,300 new units. Cathaoirleach of the Ennis Municipal District Cllr Mary Howard says it's vital works are carried out in a timely fashion.

Winemaker Justin Ennis crafts Freestone wines with a deep attention to detail, capturing the distinct character of each vineyard while balancing the vibrancy of the terroir with a refined, elegant structure. Now, that deep-rooted vision comes to market, as Justin and the winery introduce these vineyard-driven wines to a broader audience for the first time. “Everything begins in the vineyard. Through hands-on farming and careful attention, we work to bring in fruit that’s expressive and healthy. In the cellar, I practice minimal intervention winemaking so that the site, the varietal, the clone, and the vintage can speak for themselves,” said Ennis. “The wine is already in the vineyard; my job is simply not to get in its way.” In the 1990s, Joseph Phelps and his son Bill set out to find a place in California’s wine country where they could produce superlative Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The search led him to a place no one suspected – a tiny, unincorporated town called Freestone, tucked away off a quiet highway heading toward the Sonoma Coast. Joe’s peers and friends deemed it too cold, too rugged, too remote for serious winemaking. Starting May 1, these limited production wines became available in select restaurants and fine wine retailers across the U.S. freestonevineyards.com @freestonevineyards @norcal_wino

The timeline for the delivery of a long-awaited medical facility in Ennis has been pushed back yet again. The Government has confirmed that the county's first renal haemodialysis unit to be operated by Fresenius Medical Care in the Clare Technology Park on the Gort Road is expected to be operational within the final three months of this year. The unit, which will have 120 slots per week, was initially intended to be open by the end of 2024. Responding to Ennistymon Senator Martin Conway in the Seanad, Fianna Fáil Minister of State Michael Moynihan says it will ease pressure on services in Limerick and Galway.

The Oireachtas Housing Committee has published a major new report on homelessness, urging the Government to consider all options, including the possible reintroduction of an emergency ban on no-fault evictions.   The report also calls for greater investment in homelessness prevention, more social and affordable housing, and a renewed focus on tackling child homelessness.   With homelessness continuing to rise across the country, the committee says urgent action is needed if Ireland is to meet its target of ending long-term homelessness by 2030.   To discuss the recommendations and what they could mean in practice, Alan Morrissey was joined by Niall Garvey, CEO of Midwest Simon Community, and Una Burns, Head of Advocacy and Communications with Novas, which operates homelessness services in Ennis and across the country.

Clare is on track for a significant jobs boost with the opening of a new business tomorrow. DIY retailer Woodies is expanding to this county for the very first time and will officially open its Ennis store in the Ballymaley Business Park. It's expected to created 34 part-time and full-time positions. Woodies CEO Damien Dwyer says they're hugely excited about the move.

The National Driver Licence Service's refusal to accept cash payments at its Ennis office is reportedly stripping Clare residents of their independence. Since the Covid-19 lockdown, NDLS offices only allow payments by credit or debit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay or Payzone vouchers. The Department of Transport has previously said this decision was made "after evaluating security, administration and value for money factors at the tendering process". Kilmurry McMahon-based Aontú representative June Dillon claims denying people the right to pay with cash negatively impacts on their privacy.

 Earlier this month, Alan Morrissey chatted with Ana Colomer about a petition to retain plans for an arts and cultural space at the redeveloped Cloister building in Ennis.    Ana told us about the petition and the growing campaign calling for the protection of arts and community space within the planned redevelopment of The Cloister in Ennis.     Supporters of the petition argue that the original vision for the historic building, funded through the €7 million THRIVE programme, included artist studios, exhibition areas, educational facilities and community uses.     They say revised plans place a greater emphasis on tourism and retail functions and are urging Clare County Council to ensure the project remains true to its original community-centred cultural purpose.     A public meeting regarding the future of the Cloister Building redevelopment proposal is due to take place tomorrow evening (Thursday, 18th June, McGuire Suite, Old Ground Hotel, Ennis, 7:30pm).    Alan Morrissey was joined once again by Ana Colomer, as well as Kaye Maahs, who are both coordinating the campaign to retain plans for an arts and cultural space at the redeveloped Cloister.  Photo (c) Clare FM

A blood donation can take less than an hour, but the impact can last a lifetime.     This Wednesday, Clare County Council is partnering with the Irish Blood Transfusion Service to host a special blood drive in Ennis, organised in memory of Dylan Costelloe Clohessy, who tragically lost his life following an accident in Indonesia in 2024.    The initiative is being led by Dylan's mother, Edelle Costelloe, who hopes to honour her son's memory by encouraging more people to donate blood and help save lives.    Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to tell us more about the event and the inspiration behind it is Edelle Costelloe.

A Clare childminder fears Government regulations will result in lots of people leaving the sector in the next year. It comes as 18 childminders in Clare have collectively received €18,000 through the 2026 Childminding Development Grant which supports the purchase of toys, childcare equipment and other essential items. Under regulations published by the Department of Children in 2024, all childminders must be registered with Tusla by 2027. Ennis-based childminder Aoife Coote doesn't expect everyone to comply with this requirement.

An Ennis theatre is being called on to clarify its position for hosting politicial events by local Fianna Fáil Councillors. It's understood Glór refused to host a commemoration marking 100 years since the party's establishment last month. It comes just over two years after the ALDE Europe Party held a conference on the future of renewable energy policy at the venue. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Antoinette Baker Bashua says clarity is needed.

The European Central Bank has announced its first interest rate increase in almost three years, raising its benchmark rate as it seeks to tackle rising inflation across the eurozone.     The move comes amid growing concerns over the impact of the conflict in the Middle East on global energy prices and the wider economy, and it's a decision that will have real consequences for mortgage holders, savers and households already facing cost-of-living pressures.    To help us understand what this latest ECB decision means for Ireland, and what could lie ahead for borrowers and the wider economy, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ennis native and Assistant Professor of Social Policy at University College Dublin, Micheál Collins.

The planning stage for a long-awaited Ennis housing development has been completed. Ennis Municipal District has confirmed the Causeway Quarter project on Francis Street can now proceed to construction stage subject to funding. The 39-unit development had been held up due to the presence of an illegal encampment on the site. Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly, who requested an update on the project this week, says locals want to see progress.

In the second, faster, slightly more feral half of the recording this week, Katy Ennis-Hargreaves of BOLDISM stays in the chair for The Spark – the rapid-fire round where the questions get cheekier and the answers get more honest. Top of the agenda is her renowned and entirely unrepentant hatred of crocs, a feud so well known that former colleagues now send her "croc bait" on a weekly basis. From there, she makes the case against the beige, clean-girl aesthetic taking over the high street, and argues that the world simply needs more colour. It's not all footwear-based warfare. Katy shares the small habit that actually rescues her work day, explains why "fake it till you make it" is the one piece of advice she'd ban from the industry forever, and pays tribute to Vivienne Westwood as her creative hero, the designer who insisted she wasn't a fashion designer at all but an activist. Along the way, there's a frank confession about the last thing Katie "stole", a question handed forward to next week's guest, Rob Draper, and a gloriously unprofessional detour into why being bold means having genuine substance rather than just climbing. Warm, daft and refreshingly raw in all the right places, it's a reminder that you can run a serious creative business and still have an enormous amount of fun doing it.

There's a call for action against Ennis business owners who allow their properties to fall into disrepair.    The latest meeting of Ennis Municipal District has heard a call from Mayor of Ennis, Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard, for traders to be compelled to keep their premises in a good state of repair in the context of the recently completed public realm works.    Clare FM's Seán Lyons was at the meeting and began by speaking to Councillor Howard about what type of enforcement she's seeking.

In a relatively short time, The Nook & Hobby, located in Ennis, has become more than just a place to pick up the latest cards, miniatures, and dice. The shop, which opened at the beginning of May, has evolved into a gathering place for a growing community of players, hobbyists, and newcomers who share a passion for tabletop gaming. To tell us more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Dan Slattery, the owner of the Nook & Hobby. Photo (c): Michael Kenny Visuals via The Nook & Hobby

Clare County Council has scrapped two of the most controversial elements of the Ennis 2040 Strategy from the County Development Plan. Proposals to build a boardwalk over the Ennis Post Office Field and a mixed-use commercial building at Abbey Street had been the subject of large local protests since 2023. The projects were officially paused by the Ennis 2040 DAC last year, before a proposed variation to the County Development Plan in March suggested removing them altogether. Elected representatives yesterday today voted in favour of the variation, which will also designate 250 sites and 1,200 acres for residential use countywide. Cora Hahessy from Save Ennis Town and Martin Vernon, Chairperson of the 'Hands Off Ennis Post Office Field' campaign, spoke to Alan Morrissey about the scrapping of these plans.

Clare is one of only four counties in Ireland where there are fewer learner drivers on the roads than a year ago. Figures released by the Road Safety Authority to the Irish Road Haulage Association show there were 7,531 learner permit holders in this county at the end of March, down from 7,659 during the same period in 2025. Nationally, however, more than one in ten drivers are on a learner permit, with 6,219 more learner drivers on Irish roads compared to a year ago. Clare-based former IRHA president and Ennis haulier, Eugene Drennan, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons while Clare is going "in the right direction", the RSA is "too big" to tackle the problem at a national level.

Ennis has again dropped down the rankings of the cleanest towns in the country. The latest Irish Businesses Against Litter survey ranks Ennis in 19th position, down four spots from the start of the year. The results also indicate a marked decline from June 2025, when the county town narrowly missed out on top spot in the IBAL rankings after being deemed the second cleanest in the country. Just five of the ten areas of the town that were assessed received the top grade, with Ennis deemed overall to be ‘clean to European norms'. According to the An Taisce report heavy litter levels were detected on the Tulla Road, particularly at the Certa services area, while it was noted that ‘abuse and neglect' was seen at a vacant site on Bank Place which is in need of urgent attention. Place St. Paul De Fenouillet was identified as an attractive environment for visitors and the Abbey Street Car Park was also praised for its cleanliness and deemed ‘a place to relax'. The report also stated that the public realm works on O'Connell Street ‘was looking very well and very much deserved the top litter grade'. Mary Howard, Ennis Tidy Towns Rep, and Conor Horgan, Spokesperson for IBAL, spoke to Alan Morrissey about what this report means for Ennis. Image (c) Irish Businesses Against Litter

Katy Ennis-Hargreaves of design studio BOLDISM joins Katy Cowan for an honest conversation about what happens when you stop watering yourself down and start living as your full self. They dig into imposter syndrome as a driver rather than a hindrance, the years of being told you're "too awkward" or "too different", and the slow, organic transition toward going all in on who you really are. Katy shares her journey from interior architecture graduate to independent designer with a leopard-print car, why she abandoned the rigid agency blueprint in favour of a more collaborative, human way of working, and how being part of the grassroots Wilson's Republic community keeps her grounded. Along the way, they tackle the bullshit-bingo language of the design world, the difference between genuine substance and hollow social climbing, why "fake it till you make it" deserves the bin, and the truth that no one can ever really copy you because there's only one of you. Warm, funny and refreshingly unprofessional in all the best ways, it's a chat about finding the courage to be bold, the people who shaped us, and remembering we only get one go on this rock.

From Feb, Barth talks about  Babs from Ahoy Comics, his savage sword-and-sorcery riff that weaponizes absurdity, blood, and pitch-black humor to skewer genre clichés while still delivering the kind of brutal action Ennis fans crave. It's funny, ferocious, and very deliberately unserious, until it suddenly isn't.From there, we shift gears into war stories, both old and new. Ennis talks about his long-running love affair with Johnny Red, the WWI and WWII aerial combat hero he's revived through graphic novels with a historian's respect and a storyteller's bite. We also break down Battle Action, the modern revival of the classic British war anthology, and why those stripped-down, morally thorny combat tales still matter.Finally, Garth looks ahead to what's coming next, teasing new projects and directions slated for 2026, proof that he's nowhere near done challenging readers, genres, or expectations.
