The Taoiseach says while the Government is constantly reviewing health services, no guarantees can be made about provision in the Midwest. Micheál Martin's comments come after it was revealed at the HSE's Regional Health Forum Midwest meeting that, of all the Midwest counties, Clare patients accounted for the majority of admissions to University Hospital Limerick. He says modern emergency departments need a full multidisciplinary team of clinical professionals in place, and decisions relating to hospital infrastructure must be guided by clinical best practice and advice. Speaking in Ennis, the Taoiseach said the final decision on the location of the new hospital has been made, with the focus now on creating a state-of-the-art modern medical facility in Limerick.

Concern has been raised over a continued lack of investment in Clare eating disorder services. HSE MidWest has confirmed that while recruitment is ongoing to further develop a team for children and young adults, it has not received funding to put together an adult service. Currently, adults suffering from eating disorders in the region are referred to community mental health teams, which the HSE says provides evidence based interventions. Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor and HSE Regional Health Forum MidWest member James Ryan says it's not acceptable.

It's claimed new figures showing Clare has the highest admission rate to University Hospital Limerick of any Mid-West county reinforce the case for an acute hospital in this county. Figures released at this month's meeting of the HSE's Regional Health Forum Midwest show that 7,334 of the 23,696 Clare patients who attended UHL last year required admission. That represents an admission rate of 31%, with Clare patients also accounting for more than a quarter of all presentations at University Hospital Limerick. Friends of Ennis Hospital Chair, Angela Coll says an acute hospital in Ennis would take significant pressure off the Dooradoyle facility.

It's claimed crime has been going unabated in some Clare housing estates due to a lack of co-ordination between agencies. The local authority has been requested to convene an anti-social behaviour and criminality taskforce aimed at bringing individual cases to a final resolution. The working group is intended to consist of the HSE, Clare County Council's Housing Department and An Garda Siochána, and would focus on drugs, illegal encampments and severe tenancy enforcement issues. Newmarket-On-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin isn't satisfied with the council's response.

Fresh calls have been made in Clare for the total abolition of hospital car parking charges. It comes as the HSE has ordered a review of hospital car parking charges, after €73 million was raised nationally from car park fees since 2020. Figures released last month by the Health Service Executive revealed that annual parking revenue at University Hospital Limerick jumped by 200% between 2021 and 2025, to €1.44 million. HSE Regional Health Forum Midwest member and Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan isn't optimistic the review will lead to meaningful change.

HSE has ordered a review of car parking charges at hospitals after an increase of 140% in revenue generated since 2021.

The HSE is being urged to row back on plans that would restrict community paramedic hours in Clare. A group of ten new Community Paramedics are due to become operational across this county, Limerick and Kerry. It's understood, however, that their hours will be daytime only and will not include any overnight or 24/7 cover. Clare-based Paramedic and MidWest representative on the Irish Ambulance Representative Council, Orla Considine, says the plans would financially penalise staff and fail to take pressure off the health system.

We begin today's show by looking at the launch of a new Health Referral Scheme, giving Gardaí the option to refer eligible first-time offenders caught with small quantities of drugs for personal use to the HSE, rather than prosecuting them.  The Government says it represents a shift towards a health-led approach, but critics question whether the scheme will reach those most affected by addiction, particularly people with previous convictions.   To discuss how the scheme could work in practice, and whether it goes far enough, Alan Morrissey was joined by Michael Lacey, a Lisdoonvarna native and former president of the Mid-Western Regional Drug and Alcohol Forum, and Michael Guerin, a Midwest-based addiction counsellor.

From today, a new pilot scheme called the ‘Health Referral Scheme' will allow first time offenders found to be in possession of drugs for personal use to be referred to the HSE by Gardaí.The Department of Health said the scheme, which came into effect at midnight today, is intended to “encourage early engagement with services, provide practical advice and reduce the potential long-term impact of a first personal possession offence”.Joining Shane to discuss is Head of Addiction Services at Saint John of God Hospital and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCD, Professor Colin O'Gara.

A Clare TD says there's precedent to suggest the HSE will decide to reimburse the cost of Friedrich's Ataxia treatment. The HSE will announce today whether they will fund Skyclarys for those living with the condition. Treatment for the 200 people living with FA in Ireland will cost €130m over the course of the next five years. Meelick Fianna Fáil TD, Cathal Crowe, says a similar decision was taken in the lifetime of the previous Dáil to fund Kaftrio to treat Cystic Fibrosis.

Friedreich's Ataxia campaigners demonstrated yesterday for the reimbursement of Skyclarys ahead of a HSE decision on funding the drug tomorrow.Speaking to Anton this morning was Niamh Ní Hoireabhard a journalist from Kildare who was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia when she was 13.

There has been renewed concerns about high-risk synthetic and semi-synthetic cannabinoids being found in vapes and other products across Ireland.     Last year, Gráinne spoke to Clare FM about her daughter's experience with HHC and the serious impact it had on her.  Although HHC has since been banned, Gráinne warned at the time that other psychoactive substances could simply take its place.     With the HSE now reporting new high-risk cannabinoids in products on the market, Gráinne joined Alan Morrissey again to discuss her concerns and how her daughter is doing today.

✨ "It's not about the job or the wages. You have to love it with absolute passion." – Helen PichaHelen Picha manages Liskennett Farm, a groundbreaking equine-assisted therapy center for children and adults with autism and intellectual disabilities in Granagh, County Limerick, Ireland, on the border of Limerick and Cork. She took over as manager two years ago after eleven years working alongside founder David Doyle, and now runs the 80-acre center — home to 23 horses across residential, day, and equine programs — that Rupert calls the cutting edge of best practice in equine-assisted therapy.What sets Liskennett apart is scale paired with radical openness. Every Saturday, the farm runs a booking-free, fee-free open day that draws between 80 and 100 children, no appointment required, no family turned away. Its indoor arena, originally built for riding, has been repurposed entirely into a music, movement, and play space, because the horses and children preferred being outdoors. And many of Liskennett's horses are retired Thoroughbred racehorses, some placed at Cheltenham, brought down from the racing circuit through a careful, months-long retraining process before ever carrying a child.In this conversation, Helen and Rupert trace Liskennett's origin story — from a 2012 Horse Boy demo, a young woman's tragic death, and a €3 million donation to a modern therapy campus — and dig into how the farm actually runs day to day: horse selection and retraining, staff burnout prevention, community integration through an inclusive fox hunt and horse show, and Liskennett's expansion into new satellite centers backed by €6 million in Irish government funding.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

An increase in car parking revenue generated at University Hospital Limerick has been described as “blatant profiteering off people in tragic situations”. HSE figures show revenue from parking charges at the hospital increased from €446,000 in 2021 to €1.44 million last year, representing an increase of more than 200%. The increase comes despite a commitment in the Programme for Government to reduce car parking costs at hospitals. HSE Regional Health Forum Midwest member and Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan has described the situation as “disturbing and wrong”.

New figures from the HSE show Irish people spent over 17 million euro last year to park their vehicle when visiting or attending these hospitals. Our Political Correspondent Barry Lenihan gave us more details.

HSE students head back to class Wednesday, Aug. 5, and Superintendent Dr. Matt Kegley joins Larry Lannan to preview a school year with more moving parts than most. Kegley — heading into his first opening day as permanent superintendent after two decades in the district — covers the new bell-to-bell device law and how HSE will enforce it, written caps on screen time in the youngest grades, the final year of "bring your own device," and how families are adjusting to new attendance boundaries. He also digs into the money: why consumable material and athletic participation fees are returning, what was cut to reach $7.7 million in budget reductions, and why HSE is asking voters in November to replace the referendum they approved in 2023. If it fails, Kegley says, the district is looking at roughly a $10 million shortfall over two years — and can't go back to the ballot until 2028. Plus: rebuilding the relationship with the teachers association ahead of bargaining, expanded welding and dual-credit programs under Innovate 2028, and a new app that lets parents track the bus.
