The 54th Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy finished up on Sunday, with thousands of visitors flocking to Miltown Malbay across the eight days of what is widely regarded as one of the country's most important traditional music festivals.    However, some residents in Miltown Malbay viewed it as a week of disruption.     People in the Lus na Sí estate say illegal and inconsiderate parking is making it difficult to access their homes and raising concerns about emergency vehicle access.     Joining Alan Morrissey to address their concerns was Harry Hughes, Lead Organiser of Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy.  Photo (c) Clare FM

A West Clare animal sanctuary has been temporarily closed following an outbreak of Panleucopaenia, a highly contagious virus which has claimed the lives of a number of cats and kittens.   An Cat Dubh Sanctuary in Miltown Malbay says it is taking strict measures to contain the disease, while urging cat owners to ensure their pets are vaccinated.   Founder of the sanctuary Dr Rhona Lucas joined Alan Morrissey to talk about the impact of the outbreak, the challenges of managing it, and what happens next for the cats in her care.

Clare pet owners are being urged to take proactive measures following an outbreak of a viral disease with a high mortality rate in the West of the county. It comes as an animal shelter in West Clare has been forced to close due to an outbreak of Panleucopaenia. The An Cat Dubh Sanctuary at Cloonlaheen, near Miltown Malbay has confirmed blood tests in the case of a number of deceased cats and kittens has detected the presence of Panleucopaenia. The Shelter has since closed, meaning it can't currently facilitate re-homing requests, admissions or rescues. It's founder Dr Rhona Lucas says they've implemented stringent infection controls in the wake of the incident and are working to determine the origin and extent of the outbreak. She says there's a huge body of work ahead. The airborne disease, which attacks white blood cells, is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate amongst kittens in particular. The symptoms include high fevers, profound lethargy, loss of appetite, severe vomiting and diarrhea. John Garrahy from Treaty Veterinary Clinic in Shannon says the disease can easily spread and is likely circulating in the local environment. He's told Clare FM, however, that hydration and anti-biotics are effective treatments and he's encouraging pet owners to consider a highly effective vaccine.

A West Clare Animal Sanctuary says it's devastated following a "highly contagious" outbreak which has temporarily forced its closure. It's after blood tests confirmed the presence of Panleucopaenia in a group of dead cats and kittens at the An Cat Dubh Sanctuary in Miltown Malbay. The condition which attacks white blood cells is particularly harmful to kittens. Founder of An Cat Dubh Sanctuary Dr Rhonda Lucas says they're taking steps to eradicate the disease.

The Irish vocalist and songwriter SAL is celebrated for her raw, emotional writing and powerful performances that connect deeply with audiences across the globe. Originally from County Kildare and now based between Milan and Miltown Malbay, Ireland, SAL has built a reputation for electrifying live shows, gracing Ireland's most prestigious venues and festivals while captivating listeners abroad in Germany, Switzerland, Lithuania, and the UK. In the world of live music, SAL has carved out a vibrant and steadily rising path. From headline shows across Ireland to regular appearances at Irish and European tours, she has cultivated a loyal and growing international following. Along the way, she has shared stages with some of Ireland's most respected artists, including Declan O'Rourke, Scullion, Hermitage Green, Mick Flannery, The Stunning and Luka Bloom. Every release from SAL over the past two years has reached #1 on the Irish iTunes Charts, cementing her as one of Ireland's most consistent independent chart-topping artists. Following multiple national tours and sold-out European dates, she has continued to expand her audience through powerful support slots, headline shows, and intimate touring formats both at home and abroad. Her recent café tours across Ireland and continued performances in Germany have further deepened her connection with audiences, while the closing months of 2025 offered her the space to fully immerse herself in recording. In 2026, SAL will release her highly anticipated second studio album, her most vulnerable and powerful body of work to date. Fully acoustic, the record marks a return to her folk roots, back to where it all began when she was named New Folk Artist of the Year in 2017. Stripped back and emotionally fearless, this new chapter reflects an artist coming home to her sound. With new music on the horizon, SAL hopes to grace stages across Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Ireland once again, continuing to expand her international presence through deeply authentic live performance. Her commitment to her craft remains unwavering, and her trajectory as an independent Irish artist continues to rise with strength, integrity, and heart.

Parents of children born through surrogacy are calling on the Government to act without delay, as key parts of the Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Act 2024 remain unimplemented. While the law was passed nearly two years ago, many families say they are still living with legal uncertainty, with children not fully recognised as having two parents under Irish law. On Tuesday's Morning Focus Alan Morrissey was joined by two West Clare mothers who know these challenges all too well. Fiona Whyte from Miltown Malbay, whose children Ruby and Donal were born through surrogacy in India, and Hilary O'Donovan from Kilrush, whose twins were born via surrogacy in Ukraine in 2016. They've both been navigating the legal gaps for years — and are now adding their voices to calls for urgent improvement of legislation surrounding surrogacy.
