Clare – as well as two towns in Maryland in the United States. The study was carried out using a combination of an online survey of residents and a series of interviews with commuters, community leaders and other local stakeholders.

New weather sensors will be installed on roads in North and West Clare in a bid to better prepare the council's response to extreme condition events. It follows discontent in the region over the omission of the main Lahinch to Doolin, Lisdoonvarna to Cliffs of Moher roads and the R486 and the R487 roads into Kilrush from the Winter Maintenance Plan. The council has since confirmed that it will have new sensors to monitor conditions on the regional road from Loop Head and on the access road to the Cliffs of Moher. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch says it's a positive step.

Stuart and William, your co-hosts, are  that friendly voice in your ear.  They guarantee they will be here every week, with a new release every Sunday, at 10am, plus extra material outside of this schedule too. There are no scripts, just genuine conversation between middle aged men. In today's episode, the last for 2024, Stuart and William mull over two questions sent in by listeners, with the first coming from Anne in Turlock, California, USA - “When making your podcast, how aware are you that someone will always say you are offensive if they don't agree with you?” The discussion off the back of this question begins with William's assertion that both he and Stuart are aware that they could be offensive with every episode they record together. Stuart comes at it from a different angle though, noting the difference between being offensive and someone taking offence. A person taking offence doesn't mean he and William are being offensive. William brings up that often offense is felt when a person has an opposing opinion to you. Stuart follows on from this saying that he always tries to be respectful, but he gets frustrated not hearing certain topics being openly and honestly talked about, which he feels is the contribution that this podcast tries to make. William goes on to talk about how the conversations Stuart and he have on this podcast is like a stream of consciousness, but he always has in his mind the potential impact of his words, and the motive behind them too. He concludes by giving you an action: Where in your life are you easily offended and why? They next move onto the second question for this episode which comes from listener Dusan in Lahinch, Ireland - “Do we need to have a strong faith to give a damn and have a sense of identity?” From this question, both Stuart and William assume that when Dusan refers to faith, they are talking about God, and for William he is categorical that we don't need faith to have a sense of identity. He states that you are your physical being, nothing more, nothing less. Stuart pulls him up on this statement. He goes on to talk about how during workshops he leads, he gets participants around a campfire to write down sixteen things about them. He gets them to cross off anything to do with work, anything to do with their physical body, anything to do with their hobbies, and then generally what you're left with is values. He sees that as being their identity. Stuart and William then go onto discuss whether you need faith to have an identity? William feels that faith can bring structure to your life. He cites a close friend who is an evangelical Christian, and he sees how important their faith is to them, and how big a part it is of their identity.  Stuart's conclusion: he thinks some people do need a faith to give a damn, but he also thinks it's worth exploring giving a damn without a faith too.

People in Clare are being urged to make informed decisions around what gets poured down the sink in the process of cooking Christmas dinner. Ahead of the big day, Clean Coasts and Uisce Eireann are appealing to people not to pour fats, oils, and greases from cooking down the sink as they can cause blockages and buildups called fatbergs. The 'Think Before You Pour' campaign is instead urging all prospective chefs to let all cooking oils too cool before binning and to scrape all greases off pans before washing them. Lahinch native and Clean Coasts', Think Before You Pour Campaign Officer, Patrick Cross, says although the amount of oil poured down drains has reduced, its still a major issue around Christmas.

Lahinch Wastewater Treatment Flooded One In Three Days This Year

A wastewater treatment plant in North Clare was flooded one in every three days in the first eight months of 2024. An Environmental Protection Agency audit found that Uisce Éireann's sewerage treatment plant in Lahinch was not providing adequate or appropriate treatment. Between January 1st and August 14th this year, Lahinch's Wastewater Treatment Plant flooded on 76 dates out of 227, or 33% of days it was operating. The EPA also noted a significant number of emissions breaches at the plant. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Fianna Fáil Councillor from Lahinch, Shane Talty and water quality activist, Liam Grant. Statement from Uisce Éireann: In relation to wastewater treatment in Lahinch, a feasibility study has been completed to look at the requirements and potential options to upgrade both the Lahinch Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and Ennistymon WWTP. A new treatment plant to serve both the Lahinch and Ennistymon catchment is the preferred option. The project is currently at detailed design stage and will require several assessments (e.g. environmental, route and site selection, marine survey and modelling) as well as statutory approvals (planning, foreshore licence, EPA Licence review, wayleaves) and as such will take some time to complete. As with any significant infrastructure project, construction timelines and completion dates will be subject to a range of external factors. For this reason a commencement/completion date for the upgraded wastewater treatment plant at Lahinch/Ennistymon cannot be provided at this stage. It is expected that the initial scoping and design works for the upgraded plant at Lahinch/Ennistymon will be progressed through the current investment plan as a matter of priority, with the project to be progressed further in the subsequent investment periods subject to approvals.

Claims Clare Infrastructure Barriers Must Be Overcome For Local Housing Boom

It's claimed Clare is well-placed to experience a housing boom and with it an attractive buyer's market, provided infrastructure and planning hurdles can be jumped. It follows a new ESRI survey which has found house prices nationwide are overvalued by as much as 10%. The ESRI analysis, which has focused on prices, disposable incomes, interest rates and the supply of housing for those aged 25-44, has found property prices are now 14% above the Celtic-Tiger peak. In Clare alone, the average price of a home is now more than €266,000, which is up 11% in the last year. In addition, a 2023 High Court challenge was brought against the largest ever housing scheme proposed for Ennis, which plans for 289 units for the Lahinch road. 50 towns and villages in this county, meanwhile, remain without connection to wastewater infrastructure. Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry-Fitzgerald McMahon Real Estate Agents in Ennis says that compared to other counties, Clare's connectivity is unmatched and believes if infrastructure and planning obstacles can be overcome, the local market will benefit. The Institute of Professional Auctioneers & Valuers, meanwhile, says the best way to tackle price increases is to ramp up supply. It's calling on the new Government to act upon the Housing Commission's recommendations, to set up a decision-making body to tackle blockages to housing delivery.

Andy and Brendan are back after a long holiday weekend, and this is truly a rambling show about nothing. But there are some BIG questions asked, like, say, who will win more Tour events from now on -- Davis Thompson, Michael Thorbjornsen, or Jordan Spieth? They discuss the youth at the top of the Deere leaderboard and how it's become a course with literally zero hard holes and nothing but wedges. There's a lengthy chat on Spieth's momentary flirtation with 59 on Saturday and what went wrong from there, and his future prospects. There are some other odds and ends from Deere Run like JT not playing ZJ's charity outing this year, an IBF comp to Scottie Scheffler, and an amusing Tosti Tale on his pro-am, his caddie, and his rental car antipathy. Michael Rubin gets thirstbucket of the week for his little white party. The Euro Tour event is discussed momentarily, but mostly with some testimony from the ground about the power lines. They close with a few thoughts on the Palmer Cup at Lahinch and consensus that it is the creepiest trophy in golf.
