In this podcast, I talk about my experience of the 10-day vipassana course I did in Ennis, Ireland. Warning - This was my personal experience and everyone will have a different one. That's the point! What is it? It is a 10 day silent meditation course. No talking, No reading, No writing or any form of communication. Buddha taught it over two thousand five hundred years ago in India.

To download the Supervisor and Employee Performance Review Documents, click here: https://trybta.com/PCEP135 Performance Reviews are a misunderstood facet of a company's performance management cycle.  You may have already implemented them and love how they help grow and develop the talent on your team.   You might think they're an unnecessary formality from the corporate HR world.   Or (and I suspect this is a lot of you) you might be somewhere in the middle, doing a quasi-formal year-end meeting where some feedback is given, but it quickly devolves into a compensation negotiation or a bitch and moan fest (not ideal

A Ukrainian native living in Clare believes the Taoiseach should be doing more to bring the war in her country to an end. It follows comments this week from Leo Varadkar, who's said Ireland needs to 'slow the flow of refugees and Asylum Seekers' arriving in the country. Since the Russian invasion in February of last year, 4,947 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Clare, the sixth highest total per head of population in the country. Coupled with this, at the end of October, the county was also hosting around 850 International Protection Applicants across Ennis, Tulla, Meelick, Inch, Lisdoonvarna and Scariff. Comments from the Taoiseach this week suggests change is afoot though. According to Leo Varadkar, Ireland needs to slow the flow of refugees and ensure the supports offered here are aligned with other countries. However Ennis resident Mariya Nikashanova, who's originally from Irpin, believes the Taoiseach could eliminate the problem at the source, by exerting his influence on the international stage, and ensuring sanctions on Russia are effective in bringing the conflict to an end. Currently, all Ukrainian arrivals to Ireland are entitled to standard social protection supports, such as the maximum jobseeker's allowance payment of €230 per week. This compares to a monthly citizens income of €510 per month in Germany, while in Italy, after 90 days, refugees are expected to source their own accommodation. A MidWest Refugee Support Centre believes, however, that Ireland's focus should be on delivering medium term accommodation, rather than deterring an influx of future arrivals. John Lannon from Doras says strategic local taskforces need to be formed to ensure any changes to current policy do not compound the homeless crisis.

ESB has been accused of "disregarding the people" amid continued reports of public lighting outages across Clare. East Clare is the latest part of the county where streetlight blackouts have been observed, following similar complaints in Shannon, Ennis and various other communities in recent months. Killaloe Municipal District has stated that many public streetlights in Clare are "dated" and don't "comply with current ESB standards" with necessitates additional works to ensure "uninterrupted access to the council public lighting infrastructure" going forward. Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien, who raised a motion on the subject at this month's meeting of East Clare's local representatives, believes it's unacceptable for ordinary individuals to be punished by public body cutbacks.

Frustration has been expressed following news that a timeline has still not been established for redesign works on a Clarecastle roundabout. At this month's meeting of the Ennis electoral area's local representatives, Clarecastle Councillor Paul Murphy once again sought clarity on when works will be carried out on Clareabbey roundabout, which has been deemed "highly dangerous" for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike. It's been confirmed that Clare County Council is working with Transport Infrastructure Ireland on the selection of a preferred design option, and will proceed with the statutory process stage once this is decided and a feasibility report is approved. Clarecastle Fine Gael Councillor Murphy feels the lack of progress on the roundabout in recent years is "extremely disappointing".

Transport Infrastructure Ireland insist that no motorists in Clare will be adversely impacted by plans to restrict motorway lay-bys for emergency use only. A new TII policy document has suggested that all 29 unserviced rest areas on the network would be designated for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) while the 20 Garda Enforcement zones will be unlocked when not in official use. The state body's intention is that private motorists would use service station facilities instead, such as the Supermac's Motorway Plaza planned for the M18 near Ennis which is currently stalled by a High Court challenge. Ennis based Director of Communications with Transport Infrastructure Ireland Seán O'Neill says the expansion of the motorway network has enabled the change.

The newly appointed officer of Clare's Civil Defence is confident of building on the strong legacy of a vital civic service. Ennis man Steven Hayes, who has been a member for the past 25 years will now take up the mantle after being promoted from the Assitant position.

Steven says the skills and experience gathered by members along the way are rewards that last a lifetime.

A group of government representatives has been told that overcrowding at the region's main hospital is a "year-round problem". The Midwest Hospitals Campaign Group appeared before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Public Petitions yesterday to lobby for the reopening of emergency departments at Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's hospitals. It comes just weeks after the highest ever level of overcrowding at an Irish hospital was recorded at University Hospital Limerick, with 130 people waiting on trolleys at the facility on October 23rd. Ballyvaughan resident and Midwest Hospitals Campaign Group spokesperson Noeleen Moran says while the issue of people waiting on trolleys is a consistent concern, spikes are experienced at particular times of the year.

Clare's Green Party Senator insists the delivery of the Ennis Town Bus Service should be the National Transport Authority's top priority. It follows confirmation from Senior Executive Enginner with the Ennis Municipal District, Eamon O'Dea that while discussions are ongoing about the level of funding to be allocated to the service, he's confident the Town Bus will come on stream in early 2025. The long-awaited project will traverse Ennis from the Lahinch Road to the Tulla Road and from Clarecastle to Ballymaley, with scope for the development of an additional route from Doora Industrial Estate to and from the town centre. Inagh Senator Roisin Garvey believes that given Ennis's status as the largest town in Munster, the delivery of the bus service is imperative.

It's claimed the highly-anticipated Ennis Town Bus Service is still on course to receive government funding despite suggestions to the contrary. Former Mayor of Ennis Johnny Flynn made suggestions last week that TII funding for the project, which would traverse Ennis from the Lahinch Road to the Tulla Road and from Clarecastle to Ballymaley, is far from a done deal. It comes as Ennis Municipal District has launched an online anonymous survey seeking to understand what residents, students, workers and visitors would like to see in the county town by way of transport and accessibility improvements in the future. Senior Executive Engineer with Ennis Municipal District Eamon O'Dea says while some details have yet to be ironed out, he's confident the service will be rolled-out in 2025.

It's claimed the effectiveness of local representatives has been brought into question again by the lack of progress at an infamous Ennis junction. The exit from Shanway Road onto the N85 Lahinch Road has reared its head at this month's meeting of local representatives in Ennis after Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard sought an update on traffic calming measures at the site. An executive engineer for Ennis Municipal District has confirmed that a Pedestrian Crossing Assessment is being prepared as part of a Feasiblity and Options report but no timeframe on construction has been given. Ennis Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard says it's incredibly frustrating to have to raise the issue on a consistent basis without seeing any results.

A Clarecastle councillor has warned that just because Ennis isn't at risk of major flooding now, it doesn't mean this will be the case forever. At this month's meeting of the Ennis Municipal District, Senior Executive Engineer Eamon O'Dea stated that flooding "as witnessed in Midleton is unlikely to occur" in the county town due to its flood protection scheme and tidal barrage. However, fears have been expressed that similar events could unfold in Ennis's Abbey Street and Parnell Street car parks, both of which are designated for mixed-use developments under Ennis 2040. Clarecastle Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan says it's crucial the county town prepares for future rising tides.

An Ennis GP believes online health-related misinformation is partly to blame for unhealthy living practices in Ireland. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's 'Health at a Glance' report has found that the Irish life expectancy of 82.4 years is 2.1 above the OECD average. However, room for improvement has been noted in the area "avoidable mortality", with the number of deaths per 100,000 in Ireland found to be above that of many EU nations. Ennis-based general practitioner Dr Maura Finn says when seeking health advice, people should listen to experts instead of relying on potentially inaccurate online information.

Clare County Council claims Christmas plans in Ennis have had to be scaled back this year due to insurance concerns from various providers. A number of local representatives have expressed disappointment following the announcement that neither the Abbey Street Christmas Market nor the Ennis Christmas Train will be going ahead this year due to funding constraints. The Christmas Lights ceremony will take place on Thursday November 23rd, having been moved forward a day due to complaints from business owners last year that holding the event on Black Friday caused significant congestion on the town's approach roads. Administrative Officer with Ennis Municipal District Niamh O'Connor says while her teams endeavoured to attract providers to the county town this December, insurance costs proved a significant barrier.

In his new book, Dark PR: How Corporate Disinformation Harms Our Health and the Environment, Grant Ennis — a lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia — identifies the "nine devious frames" that corporations such as automobile manufacturers and road builders use to advance their interests, manipulate the public and maintain a status quo that harms human health and the environment. Dark PR is a thought-provoking book that shines a light on the tactics used by major industries to lock in an unhealthy, unsafe and unsustainable status quo. Ennis offers some food for thought for safe streets advocates as we try to improve our world and fight back against these powerful interests.   Special thanks to Cleverhood for their support.
