That's according to new figures released by the CSO this morning, our work and technology Correspondent Brian O'Donovan.

The future of the former Shannon Shamrock Hotel site is once again under the spotlight after An Coimisiún Pleanála refused planning permission for a major housing development there. The prominent site has remained derelict for more than a decade, despite various proposals over the years ranging from reopening the hotel to ideas for tourism and commercial developments. The latest refusal has reignited debate over what should happen next at one of the most high-profile locations in Bunratty. To discuss the decision and the future possibilities for the site, Alan Morrissey was joined by Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman and Kevin O'Connor from Bunratty Local Development Association.

The decision has attracted some criticism because it will remove its distinctive curved facade and glass dome. Our reporter Áine Goulding has been asking people in Stephen's Green what they think of the plan to redevelop the site.

Plans for a wind turbine of 150 metres in height in the townlands of Slievenalicka, Illaunbaun, Drumbaun and Lackamore have been rejected by the local authority.

One of Clare's best known tourist attractions has secured planning permission to offer something new... but for its staff and not its tourists. The Ailwee Caves will be building a staff accommodation block on site to house its workers, many of whom are very hard to attract to the area, such as Falconers and Artisan food makers. They are following in the footsteps of Atlantic Aviation Group and Supermacs, who have bought sites in Clare for their staff in recent years, due to the housing shortage. To find out more about this decision, and whether companies building accommodation for its staff will become a continuing trend, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ailwee Burren Experience & Clare ISME Rep, Nuala Mulqueeney.
