The Cathaoirleach of the Killaloe Municipal District is hitting out at the Government for attempting to "influence" the planning decision on a controversial water extraction project. An Coimisiún Pleanála has confirmed it's delaying making a decision on Uisce Éireann's proposed Water Supply Project for the Eastern and Midlands Region for a year. The commission says it's not "possible to determine the case within the statutory objective period due to the need for further consideration of the case". Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien claims it was "wrong" of the Taoiseach and others in Government to make statements pushing for the approval of the plans.

A Clare TD is arguing there's a "moral obligation" to dezone lands near wind turbines from wind energy. It follows An Coimisiún Pleanála's decision earlier this month to refuse planning permission for a 50-megawatt wind farm in Ballycar in East Clare. Outling its decision, the planning authority said it wasn't satisfied measures could be implemented to mitigate aviation safety risks for Shannon Airport and AirNav Ireland. Addressing the Taoiseach in the Dáil, Meelick Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe says the proposed development would've negatively affected radar infrastructure.

Action plan for offshore wind energy launched as first projects expect to get planning this year. Wind Energy Ireland (WEI) today launched its Offshore Wind Action Plan 2026, setting out the urgent steps needed to . accelerate the delivery of offshore wind energy and achieve energy independence for Ireland. The plan, launched before more than 400 delegates at the annual Offshore Wind Conference taking place today and tomorrow in the Clayton Burlington Hotel in Dublin, comes at a time of rising costs for households and businesses driven by continued reliance on imported fossil fuels. Minister Darragh O'Brien TD will deliver the keynote address on Day One of the conference at 1.35pm and Minister Timmy Dooley TD will deliver the keynote address on Day Two at 9.30am. Recent research from the ESRI confirms that Ireland's electricity prices are the highest in Europe because of our dependence on imported gas. The report also pointed out that countries like Spain which, after the previous fossil fuel crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, cut their dependence on gas the fastest saw prices fall quickest. The action plan highlights significant progress over the last 12 months driven by the Taoiseach's new Clearing House for Offshore Wind Energy and a successful auction for the new Tonn Nua offshore project on the south coast, with industry confident that the first planning decisions on east-coast offshore projects can be expected later this year. However, while progress is clear, challenges remain and the plan identifies 18 actions for delivery over the next 12 months with key priorities including: An Coimisiún Pleanála must be supported to deliver on its commitment to offshore wind planning decision timelines – including getting the first decision out in September; The CRU, EirGrid and industry must finalise all grid agreements and specifications for the existing east-coast projects so they can connect to the grid; Clarity is needed on Ireland's future offshore wind pipeline, which sites will be available to progress and when; The Government must publish the National Ports Policy and, where a strong and credible business case is made, facilitate State investment in ports so they can build Irish offshore wind farms. The Government should advance plans for coastal Green Energy Parks which use offshore wind energy to attract new industries and create jobs. Noel Cunniffe, CEO of Wind Energy Ireland, said: "Irish families and businesses are living through their second global fossil fuel energy crisis in five years. As long as we choose to depend on energy imports, in an increasingly volatile and erratic fossil fuel market, we are vulnerable. "And when the next crisis hits, pensioners will, again, worry about the price of heating oil. Transport, fishing and agricultural sectors will, again, face enormous pressures as diesel prices rise. Families will, again, sit at the kitchen table looking in disbelief at their electricity bill. "Let's make a different choice. We choose Irish energy independence. We choose to generate our own clean and affordable power from our own enormous offshore wind energy resources. We can transport this on our upgraded grid, we can store this using new technologies, like long-duration energy storage. "We can invest in electrification and use our opportunity as holders of the EU Presidency later this year to prioritise the coming European Electrification Action Plan." Achieving this will require a concerted and joined-up effort right across the policy system to enable the first phase of projects to be built and energised in the early 2030s. Noel Cunniffe continued: "Ireland is radically and permanently transforming our entire energy system from how we generate electricity, to how we move and store it, to how we use it. "Achieving this cannot rest with one single department or group of policymakers, no matter how committed they might be. "It requires sustained support across Government, EirGrid, the regulato...

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.

West Clare residents fear their area will be turned into a "ring of steel" if a controversial renewable energy development gets the green light. FuturEnergy Ireland is seeking to construct the 'Cahermurphy West Wind Farm' which would consist of eight wind turbines ranging from 180 to 185 metres in height on lands five kilometres north of Kilmihil. An Coimisiún Pleanála is due to make a decision on the project by March 22nd of next year. Local woman Yvonne Conway, who was in the viewing gallery of this week's meeting of Clare County Council where the matter was discussed, believes it would destroy the natural beauty of the region.

The HSE is being urged to progress it's new plans for a community hospital in Ennis as soon as possible. The controversial €25m proposal for the facility on a grace space at St Flannan's College was refused by An Coimisúin Pleanála last December. The HSE has now signalled its intention to reapply for planning at the site, with a submission expected to be made by September. Doonbeg Fianna Fáil Councillor and HSE Regional Health Forum MidWest member Rita McInerney says a geriatric hospital is urgently needed.

One of the most vocal objectors to a planned data centre on the outskirts of Ennis is accusing the company behind it of "deception" and claims the development will increase electricity prices. The High Court has cleared the way for the €1.6 billion project on the Tulla Road which it's argued would emit as much greenhouse gases each year as 500,000 people. Responding to the High Court ruling finding in Art Data Centres Limited's favour in the judicial review proceedings, its co-founders said it "recognises that there is a future for environmentally-sensitive data centre developments". They've described the project as a "responsible use of renewable energy" featuring "grid-supporting generation technology and heat-recycling for both agri-food and local heating schemes". Clare County Council granted permission for the 200-megawatt scheme comprising six data halls covering 145 acres in August 2022. This was appealed to An Coimisiún Pleanála which backed the council's decision in April 2024 and this was followed by a judicial review process, which resulted in the commission admitted it had "erred" in its initial ruling. Despite this, the remaining hurdles have now been cleared in the High Court, paving the way for the development to commence. With 1,200 jobs to be created during construction as well as a further 1,000 when operational, Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Daly says it's welcome news. Friends of the Irish Environment claims the data centre will emit 700,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year which is the same as the carbon produced by 500,000 people. The developer has argued that enough surplus electricity will be generated by the scheme to heat up to 1,100 homes in the area. Ennis-based physicist Dr Colin Doyle, who objected to the development at various stages, doesn't believe this will materalise however as the required infrastructure isn't in place. He insists any suggestion the project is carbon neutral is "total nonsense" and an example of "smoke and mirrors.

A major decision is looming on what's being described as the largest water infrastructure project in the history of the State — the €6 billion Water Supply Project for the Eastern and Midlands Region. The plan would see a 170-kilometre pipeline carry water from the Parteen Basin on the River Shannon to Dublin and beyond, with extraction levels of up to 330 million litres per day. Supporters say it's essential to secure the capital's long-term water supply. Critics in East Clare warn it could have devastating environmental and tourism consequences, and Clare County Council is preparing a submission to An Coimisiún Pleanála ahead of its decision.
