Podcasts about Moher

After running every mountain in Ireland last year, endurance athlete Seán is back with an even bigger challenge, this time he's taking on the entire Wild Atlantic Way on foot. He set off this morning with the goal of running the full 2,500km coastal route in just 27 days, that's over 100 kilometres a day. He'll be passing through Clare, including the Cliffs of Moher, in the days ahead — and you can follow his journey on Instagram at @runseanierun. To find out more about the run and how it's going so far, Derrick Lynch was joined by ultra runner, Sean Clifford.

Doirín Graham, CEO of Clare Local Development Company, explains her concerns about the Cliffs of Moher Walking Trail.

Clare's coastal gems are now easier than ever to reach, without a car. The new TFI Local Link Route 351 connects Galway City to Doolin Pier and the Cliffs of Moher, with up to five services daily. The service opens up key Wild Atlantic Way destinations including Ballyvaughan, Fanore, and Doolin, and links with ferry departures to the Aran Islands. It's a major boost for sustainable travel and local tourism. To find out more, Derrick Lynch was joined by Liam O'Brien, owner of Doolin Ferry.

If you've been out and about around Clare this summer, you might have noticed a very handy little shuttle bus making its way through some of the county's most scenic and historic spots. It's called the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Explorer Shuttle Bus, and it's been ferrying both tourists and locals around to and from the Cliffs of Moher, and around to places like Corofin, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, Ballyvaughan and Miltown Malbay — giving people a chance to explore without needing a car. It's all part of a campaign to promote sustainable travel in the Burren Geopark, support local businesses, and help us all slow down and soak up what's on our doorstep. To tell us a bit more about how it all works, and why it's not just for visitors, Colum McGrath sat down with Siobhán King — she's the Projects Officer for County Clare with Fáilte Ireland.

In this special bonus episode of Insight: The Stripped Back Podcast, we welcome back a powerful voice and previous guest, Robin Grace, who first joined us in Season 5, Episode 5. During that episode, Robin courageously opened up about his battle with mental health issues rooted in childhood trauma, sharing how it led to moments of deep struggle and suicidal thoughts. His story left a lasting impression on us and our listeners alike.Since then, Robin has been on a mission. Passionate about making a difference, he's been exploring how technology can be implemented in high-risk areas for self-harm and suicide such as coastal cliffs and tourist hotspots to serve as potential life-saving interventions. However, despite his drive, compassion, and forward-thinking ideas, he's encountered barriers and resistance from those in positions of influence.This episode is about giving Robin the mic unfiltered and uncut to share his updates, his frustrations, and his hopes. He dives into the progress he's made, the walls he's hit, and why he believes now, more than ever, we need to act before more lives are lost.Whether you're someone who works in local government, tourism, or simply care about mental health and community well-being, this episode is one you need to hear.Let's amplify Robin's message, for his community and beyond.Press play, share it wide, and be part of the change.If you have been affected by anything mentioned during this episode, the following supports are available;Samaritans116 123 (Free, 24/7)www.samaritans.ieOffers emotional support for anyone in distress or struggling to cope.Pieta House1800 247 247 (Free, 24/7)Text HELP to 51444www.pieta.ieProvides free therapy for people who are suicidal, engaging in self-harm, or bereaved by suicide.1800 80 48 48 (Daily, 10am–10pm)www.aware.ieSupport for people experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or related mood conditions.www.jigsaw.ieProvides mental health support and services for young people aged 12–25.If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 999 or 112.

Clare County Council says it will begin the process of hiring a Trail Manager for the Cliffs of Moher "shortly". An update from the Clare's Tourism Development Directorate on the transition of the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk from the Clare Local Development Company to the local authority this week says it's currently "facilitating landowner engagement". It also says the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Management Plan was circulated to key stakeholders on April 7th and 8th, and that it's now in a "period of digestion". One of the recommendations of the recently published Tobin Report is that Clare County Council assume management of the entire route. Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen says people are growing impatient.

The Peter Robinson Emigration of 1825 was a landmark initiative that brought nearly 2,000 Irish settlers to Canada, laying the foundation for what would become Nogojiwanong-Peterborough.

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God.” (2 Cor. 1:20) Bible scholar Dr. Jeremy Grinnell joins the team to take on Bible questions. Sometimes Perry doubts God’s promises. But he’s growing in trust because the passage above is starting to sink in! Every promise of God will be fulfilled and every promise is ultimately pointing to one staggering truth. And Jeremy unpacks it! Then Stephanie asks: “In John 16:7 Jesus said, ‘but in fact, it is best for you if I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate won't come.’ Why did Jesus have to leave in order for the Holy Spirit to come? Why couldn't they both be on earth?” How could it possibly be better for Jesus to leave? Next, Todd’s question: “What's your position on ‘Once saved always saved?’ “ And last Perry is fresh off his trip with his bride to Ireland. At the Cliffs of Moher he was reprimanded by a park worker. He was rude to her and then the Holy Spirit said, “Go back and apologize!?” A conversation about the power of kindness.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clare County Council has been asked to explain the rationale behind its decision to acquire two separate sites at the Cliffs of Moher in 2023 at a cost of €8 million. The purchase came to light at last month's meeting of the local authority. This week, a joint motion has been tabled by 12 councillors calling for the statutory basis, governance procedure and rationale underpinning the purchase to be explained. To find out more about this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Cllr Joe Garrihy and Cllr Rita McInerney.

We really get in there with our guest on this week's show, Cormac McGinley. Cormac runs walking tours along the Cliffs of Moher and all over the Burren in County Clare, one of our favorite places in Ireland. Name an -ology and Cormac probably studied it, and he brings his love of science to his love of Ireland with him on every walk he leads.On this episode, we speak with Cormac about really getting to know a place deeply; ecological wrong turns and the unnatural Irish landscape; the impact of consumer culture and how to separate needs from wants; and how he is working on building a life so that if tourism vanishes, he can still live in his favorite place. Much like our previous guests, Cormac also imparts some valuable life advice: “Time is all we have, so retain a sense of humor and try not to be a dick.”Dyed Green is a project of Bog & Thunder, whose mission is to highlight the best of Irish food and culture, through food tours, events, and media.

It's hoped a new shuttle bus service connecting towns and villages in West and North Clare will deliver for the local economy. The free of charge Burren and Cliffs Explorer is expected to run for the next three months and significantly ease traffic congestion in the region. Operated by C&C Executive Travel, the service offers seven busses on seven different routes servicing areas including Miltown Malbay, Lahinch, Liscannor, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, Doolin, Ballyvaughan, Poulnabhrone, Corofin and Carron. Chair of Clare's Strategic Tourism Policy Committee, Cllr Shane Talty, who's also a member of the Cliffs Of Moher 2040 Board, says it's a positive day for the region.

A new free of charge shuttle bus service connecting two of Clare's most prominent tourist destinations to towns and villages has officially been launched today. The Burren and Cliffs Explorer is expected to run for the next three months and significantly ease traffic congestion in the region. There are seven busses in the fleet for seven different routes that will all be operated by C&C Executive Travel. The service begins at 9am daily in Miltown Malbay, Kilfenora, Doolin and Liscannor and will have busses arriving at, and leaving the Cliffs of Moher every half hour. Clare Tourism Director Siobhán McNulty believes it will bring major benefits.

Like many of Square's RPGs of the late 90's and early 2000's, Vagrant Story is an ambitious, flawed, divisive and fantastic RPG, full of big ideas that didn't get a chance to full develop into what was planned. What we got was only one part of a larger saga (see also: Xenogears from just a few years prior), a game that stands on its own, proudly displaying all of the rough edges and brilliant ideas for all to see.

It's claimed the trust between Clare County Council and its elected members has been shattered following the purchase of two "special interest sites" at the Cliffs of Moher for over €8m. The purchase was made by the local authority in 2023, however most councillors only found about the deal this week after it was published in a government audit of the council. The council has stated that the purchase was key to the successful implementation of the Cliffs of Moher 2040 Strategy, which has not been adopted by councilors. Lisdoonvarna Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the auditor will be asked to appear before their next meeting to get to the bottom of the issue and ensure its never repeated.

Calls are being made for major investment to tackle the "embarrassing condition" of Liscannor's Main Street. It follows an array of complaints over the state of the village's footpaths, kerbing and public car parking. The settlement is wholly dependent on the summer tourist season and draws huge crowds, boosted by its proximity to Lahinch Beach, the Cliffs of Moher and Liscannor Bay. Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty says the works need to be completed as soon as possible.

Clare County Council has now published the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk Management Plan, a 246-page report that recommends the local authority become the management organisation for the future management and development of the coastal trail from Doolin to Hags Head, a trail that showcases the world-renowned Cliffs of Moher. The report, which had as its key objective securing the future of the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk, was prepared by TOBIN on behalf of the council and in partnership with the Department of Rural and Community Development, Fáilte Ireland and Clare Local Development Company (CLDC). To discuss this Morrissey was joined by the Director of Cliffs Of Moher Visitor Experience, Geraldine Enright, Clare County Council's Director of Service Tourism Development, Siobhán McNulty and by North Clare IFA Chair Pat Sweeney, who invented the trail, to get the perspective of landowners

A new report has recommended that Clare County Council take over the management of the Cliffs of Moher coastal walk. Sections of it were closed last year because of a number of accidents. Siobhan McNulty is Director of Tourism Development with Clare County Council, and she tells us why they commissioned the study...

The compulsory purchase of land around the Cliffs of Moher has sparked controversy with local farmers, who claim they have been bullied and intimidated by Clare County Council…Andrea is joined by Pat Sweeney, Farmer, Tour Guide, Chair Doolin Branch IFA and Tom Lane, former Clare IFA County Chair to discuss.

Much of the popular walking trail remains closed for safety reasons, following a number of tragic deaths last year. Drivetime has seen a leaked, Draft report that recommends a Clare County Council takeover of the spectacular Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk – describing it as "not fit for purpose". Reporter John Cooke tells us more.

It's claimed good-faith negotiations with landowners is the only viable way to secure the future of the Cliffs of Moher walking trail. A leaked report aiming to address the future management of the coastal walk by Tobin Consultants, has recommended the council should have full title of all the lands by outright purchase and compulsory purchase orders if necessary. It also estimates that the cliff walk, which is partially closed on health and safety grounds will not reopen fully until 2028. Clare Independent MEP Michael McNamara says landowners need proper remuneration for what they already provide.

The Tobin Report, which is designed to overcome an impasse and determine a future management structure for the Cliffs of Moher, has recommended that Clare County Council buy the necessary land from over 30 landowners to go on and bring the trail up to standard. The Southern coastal walking trail and 500m section of the Northern route remain closed as significant safety works are required on the trail. The Tobin report also estimates it would cost the local authority over €460K to manage the trail and has recommended Compulsory Purchase Orders of land as a last resort. None of this is binding however, there will undoubtedly be several meetings with the council, Fáilte Ireland, Clare Local Development Company and Clare IFA ahead. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Parteen-based Clare IFA representative, Tom Lane and Joe Cooney, Bodyke Fine Gael TD. Photo (c) Visit Clare

Two more stops have been confirmed as part of a Cliffs of Moher shuttle bus service due to commence on May 1st. The service will now take on passengers at Corofin and Carran in addition to halts at Kilfenora, Doolin, Liscannor, Lahinch Miltown Malbay and Lisdoonvarna, with the latter two both to serve as hubs with facilities and free parking. The service is expected to run until August 31st with a potential extension until September, while public consultation on the proposed timetables will run from now until the end of next month. Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen is hopeful it will become a permanent feature.

A plan to determine the future management of the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk will be released in the coming days. Last year, Clare County Council hired Tobin Consultants to prepare a report that would aim to address significant safety, transport, and capacity issues at the iconic landmark. The 6km southern walking trail from Liscannor to Hags Head is expected to remain closed for the year, while a 500m section of the Northern Trail also remains closed on health and safety grounds. Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen says they're expecting updates very soon.

This week Nathan and Chris are joined by freelance writer Aidan Moher to discuss his upcoming book about Suikoden I and II, a pair of sneakily influential JRPGs from the PS1 era that, yes, are very much worth writing an entire book about. Then we discuss news from the eye of the pre-GDC storm: Next week thousands of game developers will convene in San Francisco to network and exchange knowledge, but a growing number of non-US-based devs are dropping out due to Trump's hostile policies and erratic governance. After that we talk about Sony and Microsoft both introducing new unwanted AI features in the same week. Whose is worse? We'll let you decide. Lastly, we design the one product that should include generative AI: a fucked-up private jet for rich people that definitely works just fine.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, & special guest Aidan Moher- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Surprise! We're back to season four with a very special 66th episode. We're joined by Aidan Moher to discuss his upcoming book on Suikoden and Suikoden II and listen to some of Aidan's thoughts on Suikoden I&II HD Remaster. In finer detail, that includes: accepting Suikoden pronunciations, measuring Suikoden's place in RPG history, wondering if RPG sequels have a place in today's game space, exiting battles in five seconds, filling a world with life and activity, totaling the cost of violence, interpreting Suikoden differently as adults, comfortably adjusting to sprite changes, making questionable decisions about what to remaster and what to leave behind, failing a background check, experiencing existential dread in a remastered Pizza Hut, smoothing out some legends of localization, and remaining true to piss. You must still Determine or Cancel.

The Cliffs of Moher, Ireland's most popular natural attraction at the edge of the Burren landscape, are experiencing partial trail closures due to necessary repairs on specific trail sections. However, the visitor centre and several trails remain open, with options for guided tours providing safe and comprehensive experiences. The trail closures stem from safety concerns...

The Director of the Cliffs of Moher Experience admits North Clare communities aren't seeing a substantial economic benefit despite being in close proximity to the world-famous tourist attraction. It comes as the Cliffs of Moher Experience Activity Report for 2024 has revealed that the attraction generated a visitor spend of €19 million last year. Of the visitors who stayed overnight in Clare during the months of July and August, 26% stayed for at least one night while 12% remained for at least three nights. Director of the Cliffs of Moher Experience Geraldine Enright has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons the data demonstrates the positive "power of tourism" - but says nearby businesses aren't feeling the desired effect.

A new shuttle bus service to the Cliffs Of Moher to be rolled out later this year will come with free entry to the landmark. The complementary service by Clare County Council will be ran as a pilot through the peak tourist months of June, July and August both this year and in 2026 and will be extended to May and September depending on demand. There will be multiple pre-determined routes with stops at Miltown Malbay, Lahinch, Liscannor, Kilfenora, Lisdoonvarna, Liscannor and Doolin. Local Fine Gael Councillor Joe Garrihy is hopeful it will be a success.

Overseas tourists are being urged not to alter their travel plans as the Cliffs of Moher remains widely open for business. Although the southern coastal walking trail and a section of the northern route remain closed for remedial works, the main interpretive centre, visitor centre and viewing stations remain fully operational. The landmark welcomed almost 1.5m visitors last year, however its been reported that concerns regarding the trail are causing uncertainy for visitors in the UK and US. Cathoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District Councillor Rita McInerney says its vital misconceptions are dispelled ahead of the peak season.

It's claimed Clare's economy will experience a major lift if the Cliffs of Moher's northern trail can be fully reopened by St. Patrick's Day. It's after the Clare Local Development Company, which manages the trail, confirmed the 6km southern route from Hags Head would likely remain closed for the rest of the year for urgent health and safety works. A 500m stretch connecting the visitor centre to the Doolin trail has also been closed since August, but the CLDC has expressed hope than an agreement can be reached with the relevant landowners to carry out works in time for the peak season. Ollie Gleeson of Ollie's Tours says it's crucial for the region.

The Cliffs of Moher's southern walking trail is expected to remain closed for the entirety of 2026. Roughly 8km of the North and Southern route combined were closed for remedial works last Summer in light of two fatal incidents and a Sport Ireland report which found visitors frequently veer of the trail engaging in risky behaviour. Large scale structural works are in the pipeline for the landmark , and discussions are ongoing with the 38 landowners who provide access to the trail to find a solution. Clare Local Development Company CEO Doirín Graham says its not a straightforward process.

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.

Now, 93 years later, we're proud to still be going strong, sharing the beauty and culture of Ireland with travelers worldwide. 6:21 I would say Paris. In high school, I did a study abroad program in northeastern France, but I only had one day to explore Paris. I've studied French extensively and find French history absolutely fascinating, so Paris holds a special interest for me. 10:25 All of our destinations feature accommodations that are always four-star or higher. Whether it's hotels, manor homes, or even castle stays included on some tours, you can trust that the accommodations will always be of exceptional quality. 11:36 The hotel we're staying at just outside of Edinburgh is called the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club. It's absolutely stunning, with beautiful gardens to stroll through, a golf course, and a luxurious leisure club with pool and state-of-the-art gym. It's truly an incredible place to stay. 19:33 You'll visit the Skellig Experience, which focuses on Skellig Michael, one of Ireland's two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You'll learn about the early Christian hermits who built and lived in this incredibly remote settlement—a truly fascinating part of Ireland's history. 25:11   Our motor coaches are nothing like the ones you might remember from high school. These are luxury coaches, fully equipped with air conditioning and heating tailored to the season of your visit. A special group departure to Taste of Scotland and Ireland

The 3rd pillar is officially 20 years old now! That's hard for me to stomach personally. I still feel like the system can't be that old but here we are. Joining me not to talk about feeling old but to celebrate all things Nintendo DS is author Aidan Moher and podcaster Bill Barber of the Gaming & Collecting Podcast. We had a wonderful conversation talking about the history of the console, it's legacy overall and also how much we wish game devs would try new ideas out like they did on the DS. Come celebrate 20 years of the DS with us!
