Over 900 medical card holders in Newmarket-on-Fergus will see their care transition to Clarecastle from the first of January. The HSE has confirmed that following an extensive unsuccessful search for a new GP premises in the south Clare village, medical care for the 927 card holders on the panel of Dr Colum Gavin will be provided at Saffron and Blue Medical Clinic in Clarecastle from the start of next year. Since June 2020, GP services for this cohort have been based out of Carrigoran Nursing Home outside the village, and the move will see roughly 50 Carrigoran residents now forced to travel to Clarecastle to see a doctor. Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe says the Minister for Health and HSE must redouble their efforts to find a suitable premises in Newmarket.

Volodymyr Zelensky visits Ireland today, in the first state visit by a Ukrainian President to the country. It comes as the Government is to approve an additional one hundred million euro in non-lethal aid to Ukraine. This morning Mr. Zelenskyy will make a courtesy call to President Catherine Connolly. From there he'll joint press conference with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, before addressing the Oireachtas. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Mariya Nikishanova, who's originally from Irpin and moved to Ennis a decade ago and Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at Dublin City University.

The Minister for Transport claims the Government is "in good shape" regarding the prevention of flooding on a section of the Ennis to Limerick rail line but has given no commitment to funding the project. Responding to a parliamentary question from Meelick Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe recently, Darragh O'Brien pledged to engage with the Office of Public Works on reconvening the steering group behind a report on legacy flooding in Ballycar outside Newmarket-on-Fergus. The response also suggested that the project would be included in the NDP Sectoral Investment Plan published last week but this hasn't come to fruition. Speaking at Shannon Airport, Minister O'Brien says funding for projects of this nature will be confirmed in a separate announcement next year.

The latest Transport Sectoral Implementation Report under the National Development Plan (NDP) has been published, but there's next to nothing of Clare interest in it. The report outlines the national road projects expected to advance before 2030. While several counties across Ireland have multiple strategic schemes progressing, Clare is almost entirely absent. West Clare does not feature at all, nor the works required in Ballycar, Newmarket-on-Fergus, to alleviate flooding, or the reopening of Crusheen Railway Station. Is Clare being sidelined or ignored? Alan Morrissey was joined by Newmarket on Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor, David Griffin and Crusheen Resident, Michael O'Doherty for their views on this. Photo of Ballycar Flooding (c) File Photo

Send us a textMemory can move like a boat in a draft, and that's exactly what happened the moment we stepped into Elizabeth Fergus Jean's dream studio in the woods. Suspended vessels, flickering shadows, stones with rings of time, and a labyrinth set on a forest power point created a space where grief felt present, tender, and strangely full of life. We set out to talk about legacy and found a living bridge between ancestry, art-making, and the land that holds us.Music for ArtStorming was written and performed by John Cruikshank.

There's a call for pressure to be kept on the HSE to re-establish a full-time GP practice on the main street of a Clare village. Newmarket-on-Fergus has been without a permanent general practitioner since the resignation of the previous occupier of the office in May of 2019. Saffron and Blue Medical Centre in Clarecastle currently operates a temporary practice at Carrigoran House which serves a medical card list of in excess of 800 people. Newmarket-on-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin claims a "void" is felt by locals.

This week we're in Hampshire, looking for dormice. These tiny, charming little mammals are hard to find at the best of times but numbers have been declining for decades mainly due to changes to how we manage our woodlands. Plodcast host Fergus joins Ian White from the People's Trust for Endangered Species, Charlotte Rimmer who is Senior Countryside Officer for Test Vally Borough Council and Richard Genn who owns the woodland to find out more about the plight of Britain's dormice – and hopefully meet one of these 'fairy' creatures.

Morning began with mist that curled along the hill like breath. Ewan rose before the light had gathered in the glen, pulled on his woolen jacket, and crossed the yard to the byre. The cow turned its mild face at his step, warm air puffing from its nostrils in the cold. He set the pail, pressed his forehead to the flank, and listened to milk ring the tin. The sound was small and steady. On mornings like this, it steadied him. Inside the cottage, peat smoke climbed through the hole in the roof and drifted out into the white air. His mother, Mairi, crept around the hearth. She broke an oatcake in half and set one piece by his bowl. The fire finally caught and sent a clean orange through the room. Ewan's younger brother, Fergus, slept in a heap near the warm wall, face hidden in his blanket. Isla, thirteen and quick with her hands, sat near the light and mended a tear in her apron with tiny, neat stitches. Alasdair, their father, coughed from the bed corner. The cough had a deep rattle to it, making Mairi look up from the fire. She went to him, laid her palm on his brow, and smoothed back his hair. He shut his eyes and breathed until the fit passed. Ewan poured himself a bowl of brose and sat by the door. He watched the mist move over the ridge. It felt alive, as if it walked. He had always thought of the hills as older than any story, and the mist as the way they spoke. A knock came at the door. Not the tap of a neighbor. A firm set of three that Ewan felt in the floorboards. Mairi's hand paused above the pot. Ewan set his bowl aside and opened the door to two men in wool coats, their shoulders wet. Behind them stood a third, younger, who held a leather bag under his cloak. Their faces had the tight look of men who carry news and prefer not to...
