HSE Mid West has spent over €140 million on agency staff since the beginning of 2024. Figures provided to Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor Rita McInerney at the latest HSE Regional Health Forum Midwest meeting have revealed the spend on agency staff came to almost €68 million last year alone. HSE Mid West says agency staff are used "to provide rapid staffing solutions during crises or unexpected surges in demand" as well as "when permanent staff are unavailable due to illness, leave, or vacancies". However, concerns have been raised about the long-term sustainability of such spending, with calls for greater investment in direct recruitment and permanent staffing solutions. Clare FM's Sean Lyons has been speaking with Cllr Rita McInerney, and to discuss what these figures mean for patients, healthcare services and the future of staffing in the region, Alan Morrissey was joined by John Wall, Chairman of HSE Mid West's Patient and Service User Council.

June marks Men's Mental Health Month, and from the 15th to the 21st of June, International Men's Health Week will shine a spotlight on the physical and mental wellbeing of men and boys across Ireland and around the world. This year's theme, 'One Step at a Time: Progress, Not Perfection', encourages men to make small, manageable changes and to seek support when they need it. While awareness around men's mental health has grown significantly in recent years, many men still struggle in silence with issues such as stress, burnout, loneliness, financial pressures and feelings of disconnection. Joining Alan Morrissey to discuss these challenges, and why more men are now reaching out for help, is Lynda Duffy, Licensed Rapid Transformational Therapist Practitioner.

YOUCAT Love is a must have for every person 18 years and older because it actually answers your moral and practical questions about not just sex and marriage, but also friendship, dating, and engagement.   Get your copy here: https://ignatius.com/youcat-love-forever-yclfp/?searchid=0&search_query=youcat+love   Today, Ben Eriksen is joined by Thomas Jacobi, editor at Ignatius Press, and Alexander von Lengerke, YOUCAT illustrator, to talk about the new “YOUCAT Love Forever book.” The three of them discuss the importance of this work not only for college students, but also for young adults, engaged couples, and even those that are already married. This book explains the Church's teaching on gender and sexual morality. But it isn't a list of don'ts; instead, it articulates the beauty of God's understanding of love and what beautiful possibilities there are for those that avail themselves of His love and plan for their lives. Yet this book isn't just a moral guide and explainer; it seeks to give people concrete practical answers to specific and detailed questions about dating, engagement, friendship, and marital struggles. We truly believe this book can revolutionize how Catholics understand love, and we hope it finds its way into the hands of every person.   Visit Alexander's website: https://www.alexanderlengerke.de/   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

As you've been hearing in our news bulletins, it's being argued that Clare should follow the example of other counties and find a way to implement CCTV surveillance in public areas. Newmarket-on-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin is the latest local rep to call for the measure as a means of combatting the likes of anti-social behaviour, vandalism, theft and illegal dumping.

The Government has announced a major shift in its approach to supporting Ukrainian refugees, with plans to phase out State-provided accommodation for thousands of people over the coming months. While ministers say it's about creating a more sustainable, long-term system, there are growing concerns about what it will mean for those who have built lives here in Ireland. On Wednesday's Morning Focus to discuss this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Maria Nikishanova, an Ennis resident originally from Irpin in Ukraine, and Simon Ó Treasaigh from the Clare Immigrant Support Network.

After his resignation in 2013, Pope Benedict led a largely private life, but today many of private homilies from this time have been made public in “The Lord Leads Us by the Hand.” Get your copy here: https://ignatius.com/the-lord-holds-us-by-the-hand-lhuh/?searchid=4751194&search_query=the+lord+leads+us   In today's episode, Fr. Fessio recalls the wisdom of Pope Benedict XVI. He remembers going to his classes and listening to his homilies, and he realizes that the same quality of insights is present in these newly released homilies. Fr. Fessio also responds to many of the criticisms of Pope Benedict including his resignation, Summorum Pontificum, and Vatican II.

Traditional Thomists are normally unfriendly to Henri De Lubac, but today's guest, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy points out that Thomists are very indebted to De Lubac and should join him on the battlefield.   Fr. Cajetan Cuddy is a Dominican priest, scholar, and Youtuber who recently presented at the De Lubac conference hosted by the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and the Family. He joins us today to talk about De Lubac and his critical insight into the rise of constructive atheism. Fr. Cuddy and Ben Eriksen talk about De Lubac's response to this new threat to the human person. They also discuss the tendency of academics and intellectuals to focus too exclusively on the academic end of writing and researching while ignoring the search for truth and God who is much more than an intellectual principle. Their conversation not only provides insights into our modern culture but also demonstrates the crucial overlap between intellectual inquiry and one's lived experience.   Get your copy of De Lubac's works here: https://ignatius.com/authors/henri-de-lubac/ More Information on the De Lubac Film here: https://delubacfilm.com/   Check out these great resources!

Warnings from global energy experts are raising fresh concerns about the impact of the Middle East conflict on air travel, with suggestions Europe could have just 6 weeks or so of jet fuel supplies left if disruption continues. It's a scenario that could lead to flight cancellations, rising fares, and wider economic fallout. To discuss what this could mean for Ireland's aviation sector, Alan Morrissey was joined by Eoghan Corry, Travel Expert and Editor of Air and Travel Magazine.

Shahbaz Bhatti is not a well-known figure in America, but hopefully the graphic novel “Blood and Water” will change that because he is truly an inspirational hero of the faith and religious freedom.   Get your copy of “Blood and Water”: https://ignatius.com/blood-and-water-6bwh/?searchid=0&search_query=blood+and+water It is a perfect gift for youth and adults alike!   On March 2, 2011, Shahbaz Bhatti a devout Catholic and Pakistani politician was murdered by the Taliban. But his life and legacy are much greater than his passing from this world because he is a hero that all of us should look up to and imitate. In this episode, we are joined by three guests. Knox Thames who is a personal friend of Shahbaz and his family and served as the State Department Special Advisor for Religious Minorities under both President Obama and President Trump. His personal account of Shahbaz's character and work form the basis of the graphic novel “Blood and Water” which retells the life and witness of this great man. We are also joined by the writer (Matt Yocum) and illustrator (Jordan Holt) of “Blood and Water.” Matt has worked on several projects for Marvel comics and beautifully tells the story of Shahbaz from his childhood until after his death. Jordan also speaks about the creative process and how he immersed himself in the Pakistani culture in order to present it both accurately and artistically.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

Coillte and the National Parks and Wildlife Service have kicked off wildfire season with a stark warning. They say humans are to blame for almost every forest fire in Ireland - and a careless spark from a campfire or disposable BBQ can devastate wildlife, and destroy habitats for decades. The public visiting forests and mountains are being urged to act responsibly. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Pat Neville, Communications Manager at Coillte and John Lyons, Committee Member of the 12 O'Clock Hills Community Group.

This summer's travel plans could be facing turbulence, as European airports warn of a potential jet fuel shortage linked to ongoing tensions in the Middle East. With reports of rising prices, possible flight cancellations, and disruption looming from as early as May, there are growing concerns about what it could mean for holidaymakers — and for regions like Clare that depend heavily on tourism. So, are we jetting off as planned, or could this crisis ground both travellers and local business hopes for the season ahead? Alan Morrissey was joined by Séan Lally the Chair of the Clare Tourism Forum and Gearóid Mannion, Ennis travel Counsellor to explore this further.

As America reaches its 250th year, Dr. Harmon and Mark Brumley consider the importance of civics education and great books programs to bolster the future of the country.   Dr. Thomas Harmon teaches at the University of St. Thomas, and he joins Mark Brumley to talk about the recent endowment given to the university to establish a new initiative aimed at developing good Catholic citizens. This initiative uses the Great Books (including our Constitution) as well as a seminar style of teaching to teach students to ask the right questions and pursue good answers.

  "How does the psyche navigate the interplay of impermanence and resilience? In 'Vicissitudes of Transience', Jhuma Basak explores the concept of transience through psychoanalytic, cultural, and philosophical lenses, drawing connections between Japanese and Indian contexts. Through myths like Ajase and cultural forms like Bhatiyali songs, Jhuma Basak illuminates how transience shapes our relationship with loss, desire, and creativity. Bridging Eastern and Western perspectives, this reflection invites us to consider the feminine principle of fluidity as a path to embracing impermanence." This article is part of the book “Psychoanalytic Explorations into the Primal Relationship in Japan and India” (Routledge, 2025), a collaboration between Osamu Kitayama and Jhuma Basak exploring primal relationships in Japan and India through a cross-cultural psychoanalytic lens." Jhuma Basak is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Indian Psychoanalytical Society. She has published on culture and gender. Over the past 20 years, she has presented at IPA Congresses along with the first Keynote from Asia-Pacific, 4th IPA-region at the 53rd IPA Congress (International Journal of Psychoanalysis). A past Co-chair of COWAP Asia-Pacific, she co-edited Psychoanalytic and Socio-Cultural Perspectives on Women in India: Violence, Safety and Survival (2021).   You can download a copy of the paper here.

Today we honor Mary and celebrate one of the best works of literature—Tolkien's “The Lord of the Rings.” Get Your Copy of “Tolkien: Man and Myth” here: https://ignatius.com/tolkien-man-and-myth-tmanp/?searchid=4510931&search_query=tolkien+ March 25th marks the feast of the Annunciation when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary. But this date also marks the destruction of the one ring in Tolkien's “Lord of the Rings.” So we were joined by a Tolkien scholar, Joseph Pearce, to talk about the author of this great myth and to explain the significance of this date in Middle Earth. Joseph and Ben Eriksen discuss the major influences on Tolkien as both a man and the author and uncover many themes within Tolkien's writings such as hope, eucatastophes, and Catholicism.

Ask and you shall receive! You wanted a smaller Catholic Study Bible and now it is avaliable in a personal size and on an app. Personal Sized Bible: https://ignatius.com/ignatius-catholic-study-bible-personal-size-2psh/?searchid=0&search_query=study+bible App: https://www.catholicstudybible.org/ Bundle Deal: https://ignatius.com/ignatius-personal-size-study-bible-hardcover-bundle-2pshx/ We are overwhelmed with the positive feedback about the Catholic Study Bible! But we realize that while the first edition is suitable for our desks, it is not easy to transport or hold in your hand. So over the past year, we custom milled paper to reduce the size and weight of the Catholic Study Bible without taking out any of the information. The personal sized Catholic Study Bible is the exact same as the original, except it is two pounds lighter and significantly smaller in height, length, and width. The font size has only been reduced by one point as well so it is still very readable. We also partner with TruthGuard to come out with the Catholic Study Bible app so that you can take the Study Bible on the go. We are grateful Mark Brumley could join us to talk about these exciting new products, and we pray that this Bible will help you unpack God's Word in your life.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

Spoiler alert: We're discussing important portions of this episode, so if you have not yet seen the episode, I encourage you to watch it first, and then come back and enjoy our analysis. This week, we're taking a look at the Twilight Zone episode "A Hundred Yards Over the Rim," starring Cliff Robertson as Christian Horn. The year is 1847, and Chris Horn is leading a party of pioneers on a journey across the United States from Ohio to California. If that's not difficult enough, Chris' son, Chris Jr., is struggling to fend off a bad fever, and things are not looking good. Realizing that the party is about to break, Chris decides to head over a promising look rim to see if he can find some food or water. What he does find will change the course of history forever. In this episode, we're going to look at the role of pilgrimage in the story; we'll dive into whether or not foreknowledge can actually help you in the present; and I'll reveal my moments of awe, a look at why we really should get up in the morning. So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension.Want to support the KOI show, get extra content, and give money to two awesome charities at the same time?

Dr. Peter Kreeft believes that the best argument against God's existence is the problem of pain, and in today's episode he provides spiritual insights into this mystery. Get Your Copy of “Making Sense Out Suffering” here (Book Releases 3/20): https://ignatius.com/making-sense-out-of-suffering-msosp/?searchid=0&search_query=making+sense+of+suffering Suffering afflicts us all; whether you are suffering now or will experience great suffering in the future. Naturally, suffering causes us to question God's love, His providence, and even His existence. But suffering must not cause us to reject God; instead we must wrestle with Him and ultimately unite ourselves with Him. Dr. Peter Kreeft beautifully illustrates this process of wrestling with God in this episode and in his book “Making Sense of Suffering.” Written when he himself was going through great suffering, Dr. Kreeft blends personal experience, spiritual wisdom, and philosophical perspective to reveal the truly Catholic approach to suffering. This book is not written on the mountain top as one who no longer suffers or has all the answers, but from one in the valley of tears who encourages his fellow Christian to look to the Heavens. We highly recommend this book and conversation for all who experience great pain, sadness, or suffering. It will be a true consolation but also a challenge as we place all our trust and hope in God.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Claire Cuddihy, Co-Chair, Leagues Coordinator and Development Officer with the Clare Area Basketball Board. Claire discussed Saturday's girls finals day in Gurteen, where six finals are set to take place, marking a fitting way to wrap up Women in Sport Week. She also highlighted continued growth of basketball in Clare, with leagues now running from U12 to senior level, as well as Clare teams preparing to compete in the upcoming All-Ireland competitions in Gormanston.

As part of our series on appetites, food and politics, and the need to snack during difficult times, host Ali Muldrow is in conversation with Jen Rubin and Jenny Pressman who spent the last two years on the hunt for the perfect bagel. They talk about their favorite cultural comfort food and their quest to find not just any bagel, but the Great Midwest Bagel, one that has been properly kneaded, fermented, boiled, and baked. Rubin began this quest as a grief project after the loss of her mother, the cultural bearer in her family. The bagel holds a central place in New York Jewish communities, says Rubin, who grew up eating bagels while chatting, or kibitzing, with family and friends. Pressman joined Rubin in the search for bagels that were made like the ones they used to love back in New York City.  Part food-travel, part archival research, and part personal family story, the Great Midwest Bagel Quest is a road trip story without the tragedy of Bonnie and Clyde or Thelma and Louise, just carbo-loading. Food is a manifestation of culture, and Rubin says the Quest has been a way to connect with her Jewish culture but untethered from Israel. Pressman says that their road trips around the Midwest were some of the funniest and seediest experiences she's ever had.  They also debate the role of capers in a bagel spread, how blueberry bagels don't count as traditional bagels, the rise of chain bagel stores and “millenial-pandemic-bagel-bakers,” how people regularly injure themselves when cutting bagels, and the desire for a “cripsy exterior.” Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Jenny Pressman is a passionate community activist, fundraiser, and connector. Previously a lawyer and director of a charitable foundation, Jenny is now in her dream role as the Director of Development and Community Partnerships for the UW Odyssey Project, a jumpstart program in the humanities addressing multigenerational poverty through access to education. Jenny is a proud Jewish lesbian mother and the daughter of Holocaust survivors. Jen Rubin produced the Moth StorySlam for ten years, is the author of We Are Staying: Ten Years in the Life of a Family, a Store and a Neighborhood and can be found on the Midwest Bagel Quest.

Learn how God's grace is always active in both patients and doctors by reading Dr. Collin's new book “You Visited Me”  https://ignatius.com/you-visited-me-yvmp/?searchid=0&search_query=you+visited+me   Dr. Robert Collins is a leading oncologist who joins Andrew Petiprin today to talk about his experiences as a Catholic doctor in a major modern medical center. He tells stories about patients who experienced God's graces of physical and spiritual healing. He also marvels at the Christian witness to the faith within the medical system, which influenced his own conversion from agnosticism to Catholicism. His experiences show us that God's love is always present even in the most difficult and tragic circumstances.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

A major change is on the way in how we receive weather warnings in Ireland. Met Éireann has confirmed it will replace county-wide alerts with a new localised, polygon-based warning system — meaning instead of entire counties being placed under alert, specific areas will be highlighted on maps. The move is aimed at giving clearer, more targeted guidance to communities at risk. But what will it mean for Clare — particularly for rural communities and the farming sector? For more on this, Alan Morrissey had a chat with Joe Killeen, Fianna Fáil Councillor for Corofin and Martin McMahon, Secretary of Clare ICMSA on Friday's Morning Focus.

Today (24th February) marks the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine — a war that began in 2014 with the seizure of Crimea and has since become one of the defining geopolitical conflicts of our time. Over the weekend, Ukraine again faced waves of drone and missile attacks, while European foreign ministers meeting in Brussels struggled to agree a new sanctions package. US-brokered talks in Geneva have stalled, and questions remain about what happens next. Meanwhile, Cabinet Ministers are convening, ahead of a special meeting of European leaders to mark four years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Taoiseach Michael Martin is expected to commit to advancing Ukraine's EU membership, when Ireland holds the EU Presidency later this year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address the world later on today, via video link with the European Parliament. To discuss the global political picture and the local impact here in Clare, Alan was joined by Professor Donnacha Ó Beachain of Dublin City University, a native of Newmarket-on-Fergus and expert in post-Soviet politics, and Mariya Nikishanova, originally from Irpin in Ukraine and living in Ennis for more than a decade.

Winning a court case against unfair trade should mean justice, but for many American manufacturers, it doesn't. And it's costing them billions. Today, David Rashid of auto-parts maker Plews & Edelmann and Betsy Natz of the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association reveal how Chinese companies are evading U.S. tariffs through transshipment, product misclassification, and third-country routing — and how winning trade cases still didn't level the playing field. They discuss the Alliance for Trade EnforcementNOW, the fight to pass the PALE Act, and why a dedicated DOJ trade crime unit is critical to protecting American workers and manufacturers.

Are you a priest or discerning a vocation to the priesthood or know somebody who is discerning? Then this is the book for you—“Distributed Like Bread” (pre-order for release at 3.2.26) https://ignatius.com/distributed-like-bread-dlbp/?searchid=0&search_query=distributed Hans Urs von Balthasar is well known for his great contributions to theology, but few know of his practical thoughts on priesthood and discernment. Therefore, in today's episode, Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo and Andrew Petiprin discuss Fr. Balthasar and how he integrated his scholarly life and his priestly vocation. Dr. Ciraulo points out that Fr. Balthasar never received any formal education in theology beyond his time at the seminar and he sought to remain a student chaplain instead of an academic position. This kept him grounded in his theology and uniquely fit to guide priests and those in the process of discernment. Dr. Ciraulo highlights Fr. Balthasar's humility, his intellectual curiosity, and his openness to God. They also discuss Balthasar's thoughts on priestly celibacy and donatism—the heresy that claims that validity of the sacraments depends on the virtue of the priest. This insightful discussion and corresponding book “Distributed Like Bread” will truly help give all people a greater appreciation for this supernatural vocation.

The first meeting of a taskforce set up as a result of the loss of one third of Ireland's fishing quota this year, estimated to cost the fishing industry €105 million, has taken place at Howth Harbour. 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. For more on this, we heard from Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of State with responsibility for Fisheries and the Marine, Timmy Dooley. As well as that, Sally-Ann Barrett spoke to Luke Aston, Carrigaholt-based Chairperson of the Irish Charter Skippers Assocation on Tuesday's Morning Focus.
