Plean úr cúig bliana foilsithe ag Foras na Gaeilge. Foras na Gaeilge, the cross-border statutory organisation responsible for a wide range of Irish language services across Ireland, has published a new five- year plan. Tá plean úr cúig bliana foilsithe ag Foras na Gaeilge, an eagraíocht reachtúil trasteorann atá freagrach as réimse leathan seirbhísí Gaeilge ar fud na hÉireann. Foras na Gaeilge says that the organisation's Strategic Direction 2025-2030 has been compiled "as a result of a consultation on public opinion ... Deir Foras na Gaeilge go bhfuil Treo Straitéiseach 2025-2030 na heagraíochta curtha i dtoll a chéile "mar thoradh ar chomhairliúchán ar thuairimí an phobail ... "with the aim of identifying the organisation's work priorities for the coming years at a high strategic level". agus é mar aidhm aige tosaíochtaí oibre na heagraíochta do na blianta seo romhainn a aithint ag ardleibhéal straitéiseach". To achieve this ambition, the document states, "appropriate provision of resources, both budget and staff, is necessary, and greater awareness is needed among the public regarding the vision and mission of the organisation". Leis an uaillmhian sin a bhaint amach, a deirtear sa cháipéis, is gá "soláthar cuí acmhainní a bheith ar fáil, idir bhuiséad agus fhoireann, agus teastaíonn tuilleadh feasachta i measc an phobail maidir le fís agus misean na heagraíochta". However, Chair of Foras na Gaeilge, Professor Regina Ó Chollatáin, said that the organisation's income had fallen by 45% since 2008 "even though the demand for our support has been increasing over time and we are unable to meet it". Dúirt Cathaoirleach Fhoras na Gaeilge, an tOllamh Regina Uí Chollatáin, áfach, go raibh titim de 45 faoin gcéad in ioncam na heagraíochta ó 2008 "cé go bhfuil an t-éileamh ar ár dtacaíocht ag méadú i gcaitheamh an ama agus ní féidir linn freastal air". She indicated that "we will work at the highest level with both Governments to agree a long-term sustainable funding plan to enable the major objectives of this Strategic Direction to be achieved". Thug sí le fios "go n-oibreoimid ag an leibhéal is airde leis an dá Rialtas chun plean fadtéarmach inbhuanaithe maoinithe a aontú chun gur féidir mórchuspóirí an Treo Straitéisigh seo a bhaint amach". It is a great help to that, she said, that the organization has a full board for the first time in years. Is mór an cúnamh chuige sin, arsa sí, bord iomlán a bheith ag an eagraíocht den chéaduair le blianta. Four major objectives are set out in the Strategic Direction: "Capability: Through pre-school, Irish-medium education, English-medium schools, higher education and adult learners, we will support the learner's journey from start to finish. Ceithre mhórchuspóir a leagtar amach sa Treo Straitéiseach: "Cumas: Tríd an réamhscolaíocht, Gaeloideachas, scoileanna Bhéarla, ollscolaíocht agus foghlaimeoirí fásta, tacóimid le haistear an fhoghlaimeora ó thús deiridh. The establishment of nurseries, the Gaelbhratach project and a Policy for Irish-medium Education will be among our priorities to support learners. Beidh bunú naíolann, tionscadal Gaelbhratach agus Polasaí don Oideachas Lán-Ghaeilge i measc ár dtosaíochtaí le tacú le foghlaimeoirí. The southern target of 20% of civil service recruits speaking Irish will be supported by enabling students to be proficient in Irish in their working lives. Tacófar leis an sprioc ó dheas go mbeidh Gaeilge ag 20 faoin gcéad d'earcaigh na státseirbhíse trí mhic léinn a chumasú le bheith inniúil sa Ghaeilge ina saol oibre. Foras na Gaeilge has made a major investment in lexicography and terminology over the past 25 years. Tá infheistíocht mhór déanta ag Foras na Gaeilge i gcúrsaí foclóireachta agus téarmaíochta le 25 bliain...

A special meeting of Clare County Council was held yesterday to discuss the draft Chief Executive's Report to be sent to An Bórd Pleanála on the proposed offshore wind turbine development to be constructed off the coast of Clare and Galway. Plans for the 450-megawatt Sceirde Rocks Offshore Wind Farm, which would consist of 30 wind turbines of over 1,000 feet in height 11.5 kilometres from the west coast, were submitted in January of this year. It's expected the "landmark" wind farm would be able to power 350,000 homes, save an estimated 550,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and put €70 million into community initiatives. Following this week's meeting, the comments of Clare's elected councillors will be appended as a submission to the report to be sent to the planning authority. A key talking point of the meeting was finding ways to harness the economic impact of the wind farm. Clare FM's Seán Lyons caught up with a number of those in attendance including Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch.
A proposed wind farm off Clare's west coast is being described as the "foundation stone" for attracting multinational companies to the region. Clare's elected councillors have convened this week to discuss the planned 450-megawatt Sceirdre Rocks Offshore Wind Farm which would consist of 30 wind turbines of over 1,000 feet in height off the coast of Clare and Galway. The comments made at the meeting will now be appended as a submission to the Chief Executive's Report on the planning application to be sent to An Bórd Pleanála. Kilmurry Ibrickane Fianna Fáil Councillor Michael Shannon says it's crucial the development makes it more attractive for firms to set up in West Clare.
Kerry Today was the first to reveal yesterday that An Bórd Pleanála has granted planning permission for Shannon LNG to construct a power plant and grid connection on the Tarbert/Ballylongford landbank. Minister of State Michael Healy-Rae and Fine Gael councillor Michael Foley welcome the news. Jerry Mac Evilly, who’s head of policy with Friends of the Eartb, is disappointed by the decision.
Clare's Minister of State believes a development in the Shannon Estuary which has just been approved will help to secure our electricity generation. Shannon LNG Limited has been granted planning permission by An Bórd Pleanála for a 600-megawatt power plant as well as a battery energy storage system and re-gasification unit in north County Kerry. The planning authority had previously refused permission for the development but a High Court ruling overturned this decision last September. Tulla-based Fianna Fáil TD and Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Environment and Energy, Timmy Dooley, believes the plant will pave the way for decarbonisation.
Kerry Today was the first to reveal that An Bórd Pleanála has given the go ahead to a 600-megawatt power plant and grid connection on the Tarbert-Ballylongford landbank. Jerry got reaction from former Kerry County Councillor Jim Finucane and from John Fox of Tarbert Development Association.
It's being argued people in Clare will "suffer immensely" as a result of a proposed renewable energy development along the county's west coast. Fuinneamh Sceirde Teoranta lodged a planning application in January for what it described as a "landmark" wind farm consisting of 30 turbines of 1,000 feet in height off the coast of Clare and Galway. With An Bórd Pleanála due to make a decision on the development in late July, Clare's councillors debated the issue at this week's meeting and their comments are to be appended to the application as a submission. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch has put in a personal submission and he believes as the plans currently stand, Galway will reap the benefits while Clare people will experience the most disruption.

A Clare Green Party representative is hopeful a recent decision will pave the way for greater compliance with climate law in future renewable energy projects. The High Court has ruled that An Bórd Pleanála didn't fulfil its duty to comply with climate law when it refused permission for a wind farm proposed by Norwegian firm Statkraft in County Laois. The Coolglass Wind Farm was denied planning permission on the basis that the Laois County Development Plan deemed the area unsuitable for wind farms but Statkraft argued that this didn't take the county's climate obligations into account. A number of similar developments have been opposed in Clare recently for reasons such as visual impact, flicker and proximity to residential areas, but Ennis Green Party representative Brigid Ginnity says she hopes the High Court's decision means climate targets will be the main consideration going forward.

A Clare environmental group claim they feel "completely betrayed" by the Green Party due to the party's support for the construction a liqueified natural gas terminal. Futureproof Clare has held a demonstration outside Dáil Éireann calling on Oireachtas members to establish a clear policy against LNG terminals, following the High Court's recent decision to overturn an Bórd Pleanála's grant of planning permission for such a facility in Kerry. The Planning and Development Bill, which was passed in October, allows for a floating liquefied natural gas storage facility, meaning the construction of an LNG terminal is now permitted by law. Scariff-based Futureproof Clare spokesperson Sinead Sheehan says she's bitterly disappointed by what she sees as the Government's lack of engagement with citizens concerned about the environmental repercussions of LNG.

The President of Shannon Chamber has accused politicial representatives of "putting up obstacles" to renewable energy progress. With confirmation being given in the Dáil that sites for offshore wind development off Clare's coast will be zoned next year, key stakeholders are expressing frustration with the pace at which progress is being made. Launched last June, the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce report identifies harvesting 30 gigawatts on Atlantic wind energy by 2050 as one of its primary goals. This, it's stated, would satisfy Ireland's current electricity demand five times over, while the process would create an estimated 10,000 green jobs in this region by 2035. Responding to Inagh Green Party Senator Róisín Garvey in the Dáil, Green Party Minister of State for the Environment Ossian Smyth has confirmed that a map to zone areas off Clare's coast for offshore wind projects, known as a Designated Maritime Area Plan, or DMAP, will begin next year. The ESB has been granted planning permission to convert Moneypoint Power Station from a coal-fired to a heavy fuel oil facility prior to its transition to a renewable energy hub. Chairperson of the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce Barry O'Sullivan says what this region needs is strong political representation from those who are committed to getting renewable energy projects over the line. The confirmation that the DMAP for the West Coast will commence in 2025 has come in the same week than An Bórd Pleanála has stated it no longer stands over its previous decision to uphold the grant of planning permission for a data centre in Ennis. Plans for the data centre have been shrouded in controversy since they were first lodged with Clare County Council in 2021, with 60 submissions made in objection. Shannon Chamber President Eoin Gavin insists politicians should be finding solutions instead of simply expressing their opposition to proposed developments.
The Clare branch of the Green Party claims it's the "end of the road" for the proposed Ennis Data Centre. Following a legal challenge, An Bórd Pleanála has admitted it "erred in law in failing to adequately consider the environmental effects" of the planned development by Art Data Centres Limited at Tooreen on the Tulla Road. As a result, the planning authority states it no longer stands over its decision in April the uphold Clare County Council's granting of planning permission for the development. Ennis-based Green Party representative Brigid Ginnity insists the debacle should serve as a teachable moment in terms of taking the environmental considerations seriously.
A former Mayor of Ennis believes it's "disappointing" that environmental concerns have resulted in another setback for the Ennis Data Centre. After ruling to uphold Clare County Council's 2022 decision to grant planning permission for the data centre on the Tulla Road in April of this year, An Bórd Pleanála has now told the High Court it won't oppose an appeal to quash this decision. Following this week's decision, Art Data Centres will decide at a hearing later this month if they wish to defend their case. Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly, who's previously spoken in support of the development, is hopeful the project materialises in the future as he believes it would be a net positive for Ennis and its environs.
It's hoped legacy nightmare flooding issues will soon come to an end for businesses and residents of a West Clare community. It comes as Clare County Council has submitted a planning application to An Bórd Pleanála for a flood relief scheme for Kilkee. The proposed works will involve road reconstruction, the provision of flood defence walls and new embankments and will aim to protect 134 local properties from becoming engulfed by overflowing water from Victoria Stream. Former Kilkee Councillor Cillian Murphy says its a significant milestone for the town.
