Clare's Minister of State claims it's "too early to suggest" what kind of supports will be introduced to prevent further job losses in coastal communities. The first meeting of a taskforce established to respond to the loss of one third of Ireland's fishing quota this year has been held this week. The reduction is expected to cost the fishing industry €105 million, potentially impacting 2,300 jobs. Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of State with responsibility for Fisheries and the Marine, Timmy Dooley, says fishing representative groups must be front and centre of talks.

Property owners who provide short-term accommodation lets across Clare, Limerick and Tipperary gathered at a meeting in Limerick last night to press local TDs and councillors for clarity ahead of impending rule changes for the sector. The gathering took place ahead of a nationwide meeting in Buswells Hotel, Dublin next Tuesday, February 24th, and followed last week's Government decision to tighten regulations around short-term rentals. Proposed changes include restricting short-term lets in towns with a population of more than 20,000, those properties must be planning compliant and mandatory registration with Failte Ireland. Sally-Ann Barrett spoke with Airbnb Host Lorna Cahill to discuss how these changes may impact herself and other hosts, she also spoke to Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe and Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney about their thoughts on the matter.

The release of the 1926 census from the National Archives of Ireland is now imminent. These returns should give us fascinating insights into a post-revolutionary Ireland. In this episode, we look at the capital in 1926. It was a defining year in Irish cultural history, with the birth of 2RN and O'Casey's Plough and the Stars, but it was also an austere time. Strikes were plentiful, with the General Strike in Britain grabbing the imagination of some, while the controversial IRA campaign against Moneylenders took up plenty of column inches. From the reconstruction of the city to the birth of Fianna Fáil, this is the story of the capital in a defining census year.  

The widening of a road approaching a primary outside Ennis has been named a priority infrastructural project in the region. Following a motion tabled by Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly at Ennis Municipal District, it's been confirmed that the widening of the L4611 leading to Knockanean National School will be included in Ennis MD's submission to the local authority's next strategic plan for roads investment. It was estimated in 2019 that the project would cost €450,000 excluding land acquisition. Councillor Daly doesn't believe it's working at the moment.

Pat Leahy and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· When it comes to the housing crisis or whether to spend the exchequer surplus, the results from the latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A poll suggest an electorate that wants to see some action. This is despite Government's claims that real progress has been made on housing. · One of the most noteworthy finds of the latest Irish/Ipsos B&A opinion poll is the uptick in Taoiseach Micheál Martin's approval rating. He is now the most popular party leader here who continues to have the backing of more than 80 per cent of Fianna Fáil voters. Perhaps he has now put Jim Gavin's fiasco of a presidential campaign behind him?· And the latest tranche of Epstein files is proving to be quite damaging for UK prime minister Keir Starmer, with an apology issued this week to victims of Jeffrey Epstein over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador at a time when his friendship with Epstein was already public knowledge.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The Melania Trump film, a world without nuclear arms control, and why transgender rights misinformation is the last thing schools need.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

The Midwest Hospital Campaign has slammed comments from a government TD suggesting that a new hospital for the region will be built in Limerick. It follows a social media video by Fianna Fáil's Willie O'Dea, which indicates the Health Minister is pressing ahead with plans to deliver a new hospital on a greenfield site near University Hospital Limerick. Last September, HIQA issued three recommendations to solve hospital overcrowding in the Midwest, including a proposal to build a new Emergency Department. Midwest Hospital Campaign Founder Hilary Tonge says Clare's TDs need to clarify if a location has been decided.

Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy join Jack Horgan-Jones to look back on the week in politics:· This week saw EU-US relations shift as the near-confrontation over Greenland perhaps showed the best way to handle US President Donald Trump's demand to take over the Arctic island.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The long-anticipated EU-Mercosur trade deal was provisionally approved on Friday, despite the opposition of Ireland, France and three other countries. The deal has been immensely unpopular in Irish political life for a long time, thanks largely to efforts by the farming lobby. But there is now a sense that some figures in the European Commission are disappointed the Government did not make the case for the economic upsides of the deal. · Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in China this week on a four-day visit. Trade was also high on the agenda there, with China eager to import more high-quality food from Ireland. Human rights were mentioned in passing, and there was condemnation by the Taoiseach of Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian regime in Venezuela, the irony seemingly lost on the Fianna Fáil leader given the country he was visiting.· And the Taoiseach's party colleague, Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless, wants to ditch the one-bed en suites as the Government looks to move towards a co-living model involving communal space for university accommodation. A bathroom of one's own is a luxury students can go without. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The Saipan film reopens old wounds for Kevin Kilbane, Seán Moncrieff can't throw away all those old electronic cables, and boycotting Doonbeg is the least we can do to oppose Donald Trump's appetite for war.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?
