There has been an increase in the distance between homes and places of employment, resulting in longer commutes for people, due to the attraction of living in small rural villages. This finding comes from a new research study involving the participation of 1,000 people from seven small towns across Ireland – including Ennistymon and Lahinch in Co. Clare – as well as two towns in Maryland in the United States. The study was carried out using a combination of an online survey of residents and a series of interviews with commuters, community leaders and other local stakeholders. To find out more Alan Morrissey was joined by Dr. Brendan O'Keeffe, who led on the Ennistymon-Lahinch case study, Ben Bennet from Surf School & Surf Shop in Lahinch, and Sean Lenihan, Director of Service for Economic Development at Clare County Council.

The Best of Clare awards, In Association with Ei Electronics, will be taking place tonight at the Old Ground Hotel. One of the many great awards on offer is for Local Hero. This year's Local Hero is Fr. Harry Bohan. Harry has achieved so much in his life. He qualified as a sociologist in 1966 which cemented his life-long commitment to the development of Irish society and rural society. A campaigner for Rural Ireland, Harry established the Rural Resource Centre, and in 1998 he set up the Ceilfin Centre. One of the county's best-known clerics, last year saw Harry celebrate his Diamond Jubilee in the priesthood, as he has spent over 60 years ministering as a priest in the diocese of Killaloe and in the parish of Sixmilebridge, Kilmurry. Harry also brought great success to Clare hurling, managing the Banner's senior hurlers to back-to-back league success in the late ‘70s. On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey spoke with Fr Harry Bohan to ask him what it felt like to win the Local Hero award.

Minister for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Dara Calleary TD, joined Microsoft at a Connected Hub in north Mayo as it announced the rollout of AI Skill-Up-A-Thons to rural communities across the country and AI masterclasses for businesses in the Kerry region. The rural skilling initiatives are a key part of Microsoft's ambition to 'Skill Up Ireland' providing every person in the country with the opportunity to skill up for the era of AI. The AI Skill-Up-A-Thons are designed to help equip those with little or no understanding of AI with the basic knowledge, skills and competencies in AI. Those who complete the free, 4-hour course will earn an industry recognised Career Essentials Certificate in Generative AI and gain access to LinkedIn Premium to help support those looking to develop a career in AI. AI Skill-Up-A-Thons are being delivered in partnership with FIT (Fastrack into Information Technology) and with the support of local authorities, ETBs and the large network of Connected Hubs throughout the country. Learners will be given the opportunity to take part in a series of AI Skill-Up-A-Thons which are taking place in Counties including Cavan, Galway, Kilkenny, Mayo, and Tipperary in the coming weeks with other locations to be announced in the coming months. The first AI Skill-Up-A-Thon was held at the Connected Hub in Knockmore in north Mayo, where Minister Calleary joined learners as they developed the practical and transversal skills necessary to thrive in an AI age and secured their Generative AI certification. Microsoft has also announced that it will be rolling out a series of AI masterclasses for businesses in Munster focusing on providing business leaders in rural Ireland with the skills and insights to adopt AI within their organisation. Developed in collaboration with the RDI Hub, the AI masterclasses will be delivered both in-person and online from now until September. Speaking at the inaugural AI Skill-Up-A-Thon, Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation Dara Calleary TD, said: "I welcome the announcement by Microsoft that it is providing new AI upskilling and reskilling opportunities in communities across rural Ireland, including here in Mayo. AI tools and technology have significant potential to transform how we work and do business. But to fully unlock their benefits and meet the ambition of our National AI Strategy, individuals and businesses must start to develop in-demand AI skills and capabilities. It is only by working together across Government, industry, and the education sector that we can demystify AI and ensure Ireland's workforce has the AI skills that will be needed now and into the future." James O'Connor, Microsoft Ireland Site Leader and Vice-President Microsoft Global Operations Service Centre, said: "AI has the potential to empower people and organisations across the country but it's critical that everyone, everywhere has the skills to harness its benefits. Last October, we launched our national AI skilling programme to help give everyone in Ireland the opportunity to upskill and reskill. One of our key ambitions as part of the programme is to bring AI skilling directly to people, communities and businesses in rural Ireland and ensure they are given equal opportunity to engage in AI. "That's why today we're rolling out the first-ever AI Skill-Up-A-Thons across rural Ireland. Through these new AI learning pathways, we want to empower people of all ages, backgrounds and experience with the skills and knowledge to succeed in an AI-enabled economy. Our new AI masterclasses, in collaboration with the RDI Hub in Kerry, will also help businesses develop the tools and skills to adopt AI at speed and support growth into the future. "By providing these AI rural skilling initiatives, as well as our significant investment in skills more broadly, we will continue to play our part in helping to Skill Up Ireland for the era of AI."

Joe MagRaollaigh, Agriculture Correspondent, on a march by Macra na Feirme to raise awareness of issues facing young people in rural communities.

Passing the family farm down to the generations was often a cause for rift and division if not handled properly, but what if there isn't anyone to pass the farm on to anymore? Fewer than 6 per cent of farmers in Ireland are under 35, and with the closure of shops, pubs and post offices in villages all over Ireland, it seems that rural life is declining faster than ever.
