An East Clare community is expressing frustration following a government proposal to remove a full-time Special Needs Assistant from a local school.

A Clare based MEP is hopeful an upcoming review of the Mercosur deal by Europe's highest court can help to prevent the controversial trading arrangement. European Parliament members marginally voted to refer the text of the deal to the European Court of Justice at a ballot in Strasbourg yesterday. Under its current terms, up to 99,000 tonnes of beef from Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia would enter the EU each year with reduced tariffs, however farmers are concerned with the quality of the produce. Scariff native, farmer and Independent MEP Michael McNamara believes the deal is unworkable in its current form.

On Thursday's Morning Focus, we were delighted to welcome Peneleapaí, a singer-songwriter from Scariff whose ethereal, acoustic folk blends traditional Irish roots with global influences. Her new single, Farewell to Seasons, explores endings, transitions, and the cycles of life, offering a reflective, intimate soundscape that invites listeners to pause, connect, and find renewal. Alan Morrissey had a chat with Peneleapaí to find out more.

Clare's MEP is to play a key role in efforts to ban nudificiation apps at an EU level. Independent MEP Michael McNamara, has taken up the position of Lead Negotiator for the EU's AI Act Revision with the duties of overseeing the European Commission's legislative package amending key elements of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. Central to the amendment of the act is a proposal for the ban of nudification apps, with Grok's sexual image generation setting now blocked in Ireland. The Scariff native says one of the big challenges of his new role is the ill-preparedness of some EU states to implement new legislation around "high risk" systems set to come into effect in August.

Irish MEPs are returning to Brussels this week to push for stricter food safety measures under the Mercosur trade deal. They want to ensure products meet EU standards and do not contain illegal or harmful growth promoters. They plan to meet colleagues from other countries, including Italy and France, where MEPs are reported to be wavering. The deal was provisionally approved by EU member states last week. Thousands of farmers and supporters, along with representatives from the country's MEPs gathered for a rolling tractor protest in Athlone on Saturday, part of a national demonstration and rally in Athlone to protest against the EU-Mercosur trade agreement. Independent Ireland MEP Ciarán Mullooly says he will call on colleagues to remove South American meat imports as part of the agreement. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined live in-studio by Scariff-based Independent Ireland South MEP Michael McNamara and Tulla-based Fianna Fail Minister of State Timmy Dooley on Monday's Morning Focus.

Ireland has secured a three-year extension to the controversial nitrates derogation. The EU has voted to extend the Nitrates derogation up to the end of 2028. The current derogation was due to expire at the end of the month. Farming organisations have welcomed the decision, saying it is sensible and recognises the country's grass-based system. Minister for Agriculture Martin Heydon says an extension will be positive for farmers here. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Michael McNamara, Scariff-based Ireland South MEP and Eddie Punch, Former ICSA General Secretary, Cratloe Farmer.

The authority responsible for the Limerick to Scariff Greenway has pledged to bring all East Clare residents with it as it progresses the project. The 43-kilometre greenway, which will be carried out in five stages, is being delivered by Waterways Ireland in partnership with Clare County Council and Limerick City and County Council. Public consultation on the first section, which spans from Blackbridge to Errina Bridge, is set to take place in the first half of next year. Speaking after a presentation to Killaloe Municipal District, Waterways Ireland Western Regional Manager Brian Treacy says locals will have the opportunity to make contributions before any section goes to planning.

A Clare MEP claims it's "impossible" for Ireland to meet the EU's newly-agreed carbon emission reduction target. Environment ministers across the bloc have agreed to commit to slashing greenhouse gas emissions by 90% of 1990 levels by 2040. As part of the agreement, EU states will be able to buy carbon "credits" to allow them to finance climate works in the Global South or elsewhere which would be counted towards their own reduction. Scariff-based Independent MEP Michael McNamara fears the Irish government adopt a "small man to carry the can" approach by targeting the agriculture sector.

Local authorities have improved their environmental performance by 20% over the past three years, with close to four-fifths of the National Enforcement Priority meeting the required standard in 2024. That is according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has published its Local Authority Environmental Enforcement Performance Report 2024. The disappointing news from a Clare perspective, however, is that Clare County Council was ranked among the worst performing local authorities in the country when it comes to enforcing environmental protection legislation. The EPA's report shows this county's local authority met the required standard in respect of just 11 of the 19 National Enforcement Priorities last year. To look at this more closely, Alan spoke to Sinead Sheehan, Scariff-based Futureproof Clare spokesperson and Eddie Punch, Former ICMSA General Secretary and Cratloe Farmer on Friday's Morning Focus.

A special theatre production is taking place in Scariff this weekend and it's all in aid of a cause that's brought comfort to many grieving families across Clare. Local director Denise Moroney is staging Among Women, a collection of powerful female monologues performed by members of the former Scariff Drama Group, to raise funds for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. The charity helped bring Denise's brother, Martin Noel McNamara, home to Clare earlier this year after he was fatally injured in a traffic accident in the United States, and she's now honouring his memory through the stage. For more on this, Denise joined Alan Morrissey on Friday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Sliabh Aughty Drama Group Facebook

ESB says it expects the majority of electricity outages, caused by Storm Amy, in Clare to be restored before tonight. As a status yellow warning for wind expires, at present there are 640 homes, farms and business remain without power across the county, down from 5,500 at the height of the storm. The east of the county was worst affected, with over half of the remaining outages seen in Tulla, Bodyke, O'Callaghan's Mills, Scariff, Whitegate and Ogonnelloe. ESB Clare Area Manager, Alan Hogan, says they're expecting all major outages to be rectified today, however, some small pockets will remain without power overnight.

A Clare MEP has questioned if political lobbying is the cause of proposed amendments to new artificial intelligence laws. The Artificial Intelligence Act is a European Union regulation which came into force on August 1st 2024 and establishes a common regulatory and legal framework for AI within the European Union. The provisions of the act are coming into effect gradually and will all be in operation within 36 months of the act's introduction. Speaking in the European Parliament, Scariff-based Independent MEP Michael McNamara says it's highly unusual to propose amending legislation in its infancy.

On Monday's Morning Focus, it was time again for our Arts Slot with County Art's Officer Siobhán Mulcahy. Siobhán provided our listeners with all the details of this week's live events for entertainment lovers in the Banner County.

It follows concerns raised at this weeks meeting of Clare County Council, involving residents, businesses and emergency services being impacted by blackspots and areas of poor service.

A Clare MEP claims the Irish beef sector and the environment will be among the biggest losers of a highly controversial EU trade deal. The EU-Mercosur Partnership Agreement, which was agreed in principle last December, would remove import duties on 91% of EU imports from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, while allowing 99,000 tonnes of beef from these countries into the EU each year. An event entitled 'Mercosur - The Implications for Ireland' is taking place at the Radisson Blu Hotel on the Ennis Road on the Clare-Limerick border tonight at 8pm and will feature the Director of Meat Industry Ireland, Dale Crammond. Scariff-based Independent MEP Michael McNamara, who's chairing tonight's event, says there's very little in it for Ireland.

Scariff and Ballyea will be hoping to bounce back from opening round defeats when they face off in Round 2 of the TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship. The sides meet in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg on Sunday afternoon, knowing defeat will put their championship campaign in serious jeopardy. Ballyea surrendered an eleven point half time lead as they lost by a point to Kilmaley, while Scariff were edged out by Cratloe by three points first time out. Clare FM analyst, Tommy Guilfoyle, says both teams will be looking to finish the game stronger this time around. Throw on Sunday is at 5pm with commentary on Clare FM with NC Paint and Décor, Ashline, Kilrush Rd, Ennis

Ballyea manager Robbie Hogan says his side will have to dust themselves down and take the positives from their performance in the first game of the TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship. His side fell to a one point defeat to Kilmaley leaving them on the back foot in Group 4 ahead of their crucial second round clash with Scariff. The 2022 county champions had looked set to open their account with a win as they held an 11 point lead at half time, after Tony Kelly netted twice in first half. Hogan's been telling Clare FM's Derek Dormer that their inability to get on breaking ball in the second period let them down. Meanwhile, Clooney Quin Boss Fergal Lynch is lauding his sides staying power as they kicked off their campaign with a win. A late surge saw them claim a three point victory over Broadford to sit second in Group 2, with leaders Inagh-Kilnamona providing the opposition in the next round. Lynch says his players have finished strong in every game they've played this year.
