A scheme intended to be the solution to long-standing traffic congestion in North Clare has been branded a "waste of taxpayers' money". Judicial review proceedings in relation to the Ennistymon Inner Relief Road have reached a conclusion in the High Court, paving the way for the progression of the scheme. The project involves the construction of a new bridge in Ennistymon across the Cullenagh River, approximately 80 metres upstream of the existing Michael Conway Bridge. In September 2022, An Bórd Pleanála approved Clare County Council's Compulsory Purchase Order to acquire lands and buildings necessary for the construction of the bridge. The plans hit a stumbling block in November of that year, however, as a judicial review was sought and this effectively brought the project to a standstill. Almost three years later, in October of this year, the High Court dismissed the application for leave to bring a judicial review against the CPO. With the proceedings now having concluded with the mutual consent of all parties, the development can finally go ahead. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty says those affected by construction will be contacted by the local authority in the near future. The conversation around a solution to traffic congestion at Blake's Corner has spanned several decades and has often been contentious. A campaign has been led in recent years by a group named 'Save Ennistymon Heritage' to prevent any damage being caused to the listed buildings of Blake's and Linnane's. Donogh O'Loghlin, who runs a drapers on Lahinch's main street, believes the proposed scheme will create more bottlenecks.
The HSE is facing calls to invest in upgrading or rebuilding St Joseph's Hospital in Ennis. It's after An Coimisúin Pleanála rejected contentious plans for a 100 bed replacement facility to be constructed on a green space at St Flannan's College. The community hospital was due to cost €25m, but the development has been refused due to wastewater capacity issues. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly believes the funds should be redirected to the site of the existing community hospital on the Lifford Road.
Tá tuarascáil nua seolta ag Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta a léiríonn líon na dteaghlach atá ag tógáil clann le Gaeilge sna Gaeltachtaí. Tá figiúirí le haghaidh gach ceann den 26 Limistéar Pleanála Teanga (LPT) san áireamh sa tuarascáil. Níl ach 3 LPT sa Ghaeltacht ar féidir a rá go bhfuil os cionn 50% de theaghlaigh ag tógáil a gclann le Gaeilge iontu. Mar sin, cén fáth nach bhfuil níos mó daoine ag tabhairt a dteanga dúchais dá gcuid páistí? Ar Seachtain, labhair Sorcha Ní Chéilleachair, Ceannasaí Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta, faoi cad é a léiríonn an taighde nua seo dúinn. Is ball den trust project é Seachtain agus ba mhian linn go mbeidh muinín agaibhse ionainn.

A South-East Clare community is expressing shock and dismay over the sudden postponement of a hearing that could decide the future of a contentious windfarm development. An Coimisúin Pleanála was due to hear from seven speakers at Treacy's Oakwood Hotel tomorrow regarding aviation safety concerns over Ballycar Green Energy's plans to construct 12 turbines of up 150 metres in height near Meelick. The meeting was suddenly cancelled last night , with ACP stating the developer and AirNav Ireland would be entering into further negotiations, and that the case would be refixed for a date in January. Ardnacrusha Fianna Fáil Councillor Rachel Hartigan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that it's not good enough for local residents.

Clare County Council insists algal bloom isn't a concern in East Clare and doesn't pose a threat to its tourism offering. The local authority has deemed Ballycuggeran and Mountshannon safe bathing areas once again after assessments showed no evidence of algal bloom at either location. It comes as planning permission has been granted by An Comisiún Pleanála for the upgrade and enhancement of facilities at Inis Cealtra and Mountshannon Village. Clare County Council Head of Tourism Deirdre O'Shea says the waterways are closely monitored for the presence of algae.

The long-awaited MetroLink line, which will finally connect Dublin Airport to the city by rail, has been approved by An Coimisiún Pleanála, three years after planning permission was sought.The 18.8km rail line, expected to cost more than €10 billion, was first proposed a quarter of a century ago and is anticipated to begin operations in the mid-2030s.Travelling mostly underground, the remote-controlled, driverless trains will run every three minutes from Swords in north Dublin to Charlemont close to Ranelagh in south Dublin. The route will have 16 stops serving areas including Dublin Airport, Ballymun, Glasnevin, Phibsborough and the city centre.A trip from Swords to the city centre is expected to take about 25 minutes, while journeys from the airport to the city will take about 20 minutes.But what happens if there is a judicial challenge to the planning permission? And what if “unknown, unknown” issues arise and the bill doubles as has been imagined? And when will the first passengers hop on board?Irish Times Dublin editor Olivia Kelly explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast.

Port of Waterford has lodged a direct planning application with An Coimisiún Pleanála for its Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Capable Terminal at Belview, County Kilkenny. This marks a major milestone for the company, the oldest Port in Ireland, with its application reinforcing Waterford's ambition to play a central role in shaping the future of the country's renewable energy sector. The application follows the recent granting of Maritime Area Consent (MAC) by the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority (MARA), which provides the legal basis for the Port to seek permission to develop the new infrastructure. Securing the MAC was a crucial step in advancing the South East as a hub for offshore wind, and it now allows the Port of Waterford to progress its vision of building a purpose-designed ORE terminal. The scale of the proposed development reflects both the immediate and long-term needs of the sector. Central to the project is a 250-metre extension to the existing wharves at Belview. The application also provides for extensive land reclamation, new quayside operator support facilities with workshops and warehouses, berthing pontoons, and two separate three-storey office and staff buildings for ORE operators. The development includes a replacement electricity substation, underground services, roof-mounted solar PV arrays to generate renewable power on site, and a dedicated biodiversity enhancement area of approximately 1.8 hectares. The investment will transform the Port's capacity to support large-scale offshore renewable energy projects, creating the conditions for Waterford to act as a strategic staging ground for major developments such as the proposed Tonn Nua Offshore Wind Farm and future projects across the Celtic Sea. With Ireland committed to generating 7 GW of offshore wind by 2030, the ORE Capable Terminal at Waterford is designed to support this target and beyond. This positions the Port not only as a logistics gateway, but as a leader in delivering a just transition to a low-carbon economy for the South East and the wider country. The economic potential is equally significant. Beyond its immediate construction and operational benefits, the ORE Capable Terminal represents a long-term investment in sustainable business and regional prosperity. The project will generate high-quality jobs across maritime operations, engineering, logistics, and green technology, while also creating opportunities for SMEs and local suppliers to integrate into the offshore wind supply chain. Speaking on the application, CEO at Port of Waterford, David Sinnott, says, "This is a landmark day for Port of Waterford. Our application is about more than new infrastructure - it's about creating jobs, driving growth in the South East, and helping Ireland meet its 2030 climate goals. Waterford has been a maritime gateway for over a thousand years, and now we are ready to lead Ireland into its offshore renewable future."

A Meath couple have lost their final fight to stop their house from being demolished. Rose and Chris Murray built their home in Bohermeen, near Navan, Co Meath, in 2007 without planning permission. What followed was a near 20-year legal saga with Meath County Council, as the couple exhausted every avenue to keep their unauthorised home. This week the family were refused retention by An Coimisiún Pleanála, while the Court of Appeal also dismissed their legal challenge to the demolition order. But is this the end of the road for the Murrays and their dream home? Host: Tessa Fleming, Guest: Amy MolloySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
