Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Minister for Health and Fine Gael TD for Dún Laoghaire, reacts to the decision by on An Coimisiún Pleanála to overturn planning approval for the proposed development of a new critical care wing at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin.
Uisce Éireann is being criticised for failing to consider alternatives to a project which will see 330 million litres of water taken from the River Shannon. An event held by the River Shannon Protection Alliance has heard that the proposed 170-kilometre pipeline from the Parteen Basin to Dublin will result in "dangerous low water flow" in the Shannon. Clare County Council has this month agreed to lodge a submission with An Coimisiún Pleanála outlining local representatives' concerns around the plans. Environmentalist and Senior Project Manager with the River Shannon Protection Alliance Elaine Doyle believes there are better ways to address the drink water supply shortage in the capital.
A planned €100m critical-care wing for Dublin's Rotunda Maternity Hospital was rejected by An Coimisiún Pleanála this week. Sean Daly, Master at the Rotunda, discusses the current situation at the hospital.

Clare County Council will assist elected representatives in submitting an objection to An Coimisúin Pleanála over Uisce Éireann's plans to build a 170km pipeline from the Parteen Basin to Dublin City. The project which will cost at least €4.5bn euro has sparked concerns for tourism in East Clare given the potential impact it would have on water tourism at Lough Derg. Uisce Éireann claims the project will take just 2% of the flow from the Parteen Basin, but councillors have vociferously called for this plan to be scrapped, with some stating the biggest problem in Dublin is leakage. Cllrs Tony O'Brien and Cathaoirleach of the Killaloe MD Pat Burke spoke to Clare FM's Daragh Dolan. Image (c) Uisce Eireann

Shovels could be in the ground for Ennis's largest ever housing development as early as next week. Four years on from having its original plans turned down by Clare County Council, Glenveagh Homes Limited has secured planning permission for almost 300 homes in the county town. An Bórd Pleanála gave the green light in for a 289-unit Strategic Housing Development on lands at Ballymacaula, Drumbiggle, Keelty and Circular Road in Ennis in April of 2023. In June of last year however, the Kildare-based developer submitted a new application - this time for 300 dwellings - to replace the original plans. Granting permission this week, Clare County Council has told the applicant to omit two units to create car parking space for users of a proposed childcare facility. At 298 homes, it's set to be the largest private residential development ever built in Ennis and will be delivered on a phased basis. Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Clare Colleran-Molloy says some of the homes could be at turnkey stage within a year.

The operator of a car park near the Cliffs of Moher is lodging an appeal to retain their business. Clare County Council refused Mary and Patrick Nagle planning permission to continuing running the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk Car Park in Liscannor in December on the grounds that the facility isn't needed as the walk is currently closed in the area. The couple, who've been running the business since 2012, have now appealed the decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála. Mary says despite the closure of the trail, there remains high demand for parking at the site.

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.

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.
