Clare's defence of the All Ireland hurling title is in jeopardy following a second loss of the campaign. Tipperary scored four of the last five points of the game to secure a three point win against the Banner in Zimmer Biomet Pairc Chíosóg. It means Clare are now relying on other results in the final two rounds, and will need to beat Limerick at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in two weeks time to have any hope of progressing. Clare FM analyst Tommy Guilfoyle says Tipp got the important breaks once the game got back level.

Last week, we discussed Ennis 2040 DAC's decision to review its development plans. The DAC has agreed to review the controversial Abbey Street and Harvey's Quay projects to determine if they're "fit for purpose" and "add value" to the town. The two car park developments will be paused, in order to allow other projects to progress. The Post Office Field project will also be reviewed as part of this ‘reset'. However, the community group, "Hands Off Ennis Post Office Field” is still raising concerns over the project and has even suggested an alternative solution. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined in studio by Martin Vernon, Chairperson and Tommy Guilfoyle. Photo (c) Ennis 2040 DAC

A former Clare senior hurling captain claims the timing of the loss of Shane O'Donnell gives Brian Lohan's squad time to adapt ahead of the Munster Championship. The Clare boss confirmed yesterday that the reigning Hurler of the Year, Shane O'Donnell, will undergo surgery on a shoulder issue, ruling him out for the entirety of the 2025 intercounty season. The Banner's Munster campaign is edging ever closer, with Cork making the visit to Cusack Park on April 20th. Clare FM hurling analyst, Tommy Guilfoyle, says the injury would be much more detrimental to the squad, had it occurred later in the year.

Excitement levels in Feakle and Sixmilebridge are ratcheting up, ahead of Sunday's TUS Clare senior hurling final. Sixmilebridge are hoping to lift the Canon Hamilton Cup for a 16th time, in what is their first final appearance since 2020. However, Feakle's absence from the county's hurling showpiece stretches back much farther; the last of their six county titles came in their last final appearance all the way back in 1988, with a 44-year gap being bridged on that day. Sunday's decider in Cusack Park throws in at 3pm – a game you can, of course, hear live on Clare FM. To preview the 2024 TUS Clare senior hurling final, Alan Morrissey was joined by Clare FM's GAA Commentator, Syl O'Connor, Manager of Sixmilebridge, John O'Meara, Clare FM's Hurling Analyst, Tommy Guilfoyle and Feakle Club Secretary, Val Donnellan.

Unclean, unpleasant and unsafe. These are just some of the complaints raised by people in relation to Ennis Train Station. Some of those who have used the station also have concerns about what are described as its “substandard” toilet facilities, the unclear and difficult-to-follow timetables, and a lack of adequate information on bus schedules. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Clarecastle-based Sinn Fein councillor, Tommy Guilfoyle and Ennis Fine Gael councillor, Mary Howard.

Clare FM's Derrick Lynch is joined by analysts Tommy Guilfoyle & Derek Dormer to preview a huge weekend of final round action in the TUS Clare SHC & TUS Clare IHC

It's claimed a lack of ambition from successive governments is to blame for Clare's housing crisis. According to a new report from independent Oireachtas agency, the Parliamentary Budget Office, a total of 4,646 households in this county are on the social housing list or availing of the Housing Assistance Payment. Since 2016, the state has constructed over 2,170 new social homes in Clare, but according to the PBO, national targets must rise by 56% just to meet current supply deficits. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor and Clare Social Housing Committee member Tommy Guilfoyle insists an emergency response is needed.

It's been suggested renters in Clare aren't asking their landlords if they're registered for fear of eviction. It comes as new Oireachtas figures have highlighted an alarmingly low uptake in the rent tax credit this year. Clare FM's Seán Lyons reports. ===== When first introduced in 2022, the Rent Tax Credit or RTC, allowed renters to claim maximum tax relief of €1,000 in the case of a couple and €500 in all other cases. For this year and next year, that's been increased to €1,500 for couples and €750 for those in other circumstances. The uptake rate is noticeably low this year however with just 59,481 claims recorded nationwide so far - meaning roughly six in seven renters haven't yet made a claim. Just 770 claims have been made in Clare in 2024 to date - with €870 being the average claim value. To avail of the tax credit, a tenancy must be registered with the Residential Tenancy Board unless it's a licence arrangement such a when a tenant shares with the owner or is in a rent-a-room or digs arrangement. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor and Clare Social Development Strategic Policy Committee member Tommy Guilfoyle believes renters are afraid to ask if they're entitled to the credit as they fear they'll lose the tenancy. [CLIP] Tenants can find out if their tenancy is registered by checking the "Check The Register" section of the RTB website. As of Budget 2024, the Rent Tax Credit can be claimed for digs or rent-a-room arrangements if you pay rent for your child attending third-level education. As per the stipulations of the tax credit, the landlord must not be a housing association or approved housing body, a local authority, your parent or your child. Threshold Campaigns Officer Cat Clark says because private rental supply is in such dire straits, penalising landlords who fail to register their properties isn't necessarily possible or advisable.

On Tuesday's Morning Focus, we explored the growing excitement across Clare as the All-Ireland Final approaches. Peter O'Connell was joined by Clare FM's analyst Tommy Guilfoyle, Corofin hurlers manager Joe Cahill, and Clonlara championship-winning manager and 1997 All-Ireland winning minor player, Donal Madden.

A member of Clare County Council's housing committee claims government policy has failed middle income earners in this county. It follows an independent report from the housing commission which estimates that 56,000 homes need to built from next year until 2034 in order address existing deficits and meet future demand. Last month, construction commenced on 188 new one-off houses in Clare, which is the highest total here since records began in 2014. Clarecastle Sinn Féin local election candidate Tommy Guilfoyle insists though the lack of affordable housing is locking a generation out of home ownership.

Clare FM's Syl O'Connor & Tommy Guilfoyle call the action as Clare beat Waterford in a dramatic Munster SHC tie in Cusack Park

It's claimed the local authority has the will but is being denied the funding to tackle Clare's housing crisis. It follows the Residential Tenancies Board final report for 2023, which shows the average price of renting for new tenants in this county is now over €1,300 per month. During April alone, a further 118 households here joined Clare County Council's approved social housing list. Clarecastle Sinn Féin local election candidate Tommy Guilfoyle, who's a member of the council's housing committee believes the Government could be allocating more funds to the local authority to provide social and affordable housing.

Calls are being made for a dedicated armed support unit to be based at Ennis Garda Station following a violent assault perpetrated by two masked man at a retail premises in Clarecastle. Three people were hospitalised as a result of the incident which took place shortly after 1pm last Sunday, with a man in his 20s sustaining serious injuries. The suspects made their getaway via the Kildysart Road on a route locally known as the Connacht line before abandoning their vehicle at Newhall near Ballyea. Clarecastle Sinn Féin local election candidate Tommy Guilfoyle says Gardaí here are fighting against the odds when it comes to serious crime.

A Clare Sinn Féin representative insists the lifting of the eviction ban has added fuel to the fire that is the homeless crisis. It comes as the party is tabling a bill in the Dail tonight, to implement an immediate and temporary ban on no-fault evictions, so that ordinary workers, families and children can't be evicted by a landlord when they have done nothing wrong. The opposition has pointed to figures indicating that more than 4000 children will wake up on Christmas morning in a hub, hostel or B&B, which the party says is completely unacceptable. Ennis Sinn Féin Local Election Candidate, Tommy Guilfoyle says promises by the Government that lifting the ban would not impact homeless numbers has proven untrue.

A candlelit vigil will take place in Ennis this evening to pay tribute to victims of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The event will take place at the Height on O'Connell Street at 5pm to mark the United Nation's International Day of Solidarity with The Palestinian People. The vigil is being organised by the Ennis Sinn Féin Cumman, which is renewing its call for a permanent humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Local election candidate and Clarecastle resident Tommy Guilfoyle believes the people of Clare have an important role to play in ending the conflict.

A Clare trade union representative has called on the Workplace Relations Commission to ramp up the number of inspections it carries out in workplaces where employees are being paid below the minimum wage. An ESRI report has found that 6,500 workers nationwide are being paid less than the minimum wage while a quarter of those between 15 and 19 are not being paid correctly. The minimum wage in Ireland currently stands at €11.30 and will increase to €12.70 in January. Clarecastle member of the Clare Council of Trade Unions member Tommy Guilfoyle believes employers must be investigated to ensure workers are not being "undermined".

A Clare Sinn Féin representative claims the housing shortage is discouraging businesses from investing in the local economy. The opposition party will put forward a proposal in the Dáíl later today seeking a three year rent freeze and a temporary re-introduction of the eviction ban. Renters in Clare are currently forking out as much as €1,133 on average each month for their accommodation needs, with average rates across the county up 10% in the last year. Ennis Sinn Féin Cumman member, Tommy Guilfoyle believes rent relief is needed to tackle a growing socio-economic crisis.

It follows the appointment of a design team to develop a master plan for a high-quality mixed-use sustainable development for a controversial Francis Street site in Ennis. At a meeting of this month's Social Development Strategic Policy Committee last evening, committee member, Tommy Guilfoyle received unanimous support for a motion calling on the local authority to retain ownership of the site, in order to develop accommodation for people with disabilities, elderly people and those who are "rightsizing".
