Councillor Claims Only "Six Regular Gardaí" Were Policing Across County Clare On May Weekend

It's claimed as little as six regular Gardaí were policing the entire county of Clare on one day during the last weekend in May. It comes as elected representatives have once again raised concerns over stretched garda resources locally. The latest meeting of Clare County Council heard that on the day in question, just one Garda Car was policing the Western seaboard from Kilrush to Kinvara. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty expressed his concern.

Clare TD Claims Regular Households Being Priced Out Of Switch To Renewables

A Clare TD is expressing concern that regular households are being priced out of embracing renewable energy. Bodyke Fine Gael Deputy Joe Cooney has asked the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment if it's looked at the impact of high electricity prices on the uptake of the likes of heat humps, electric vehicles and home batteries. Ireland is aiming to reduce its carbon emissions by 51% by 2030 largely through the electrification of heat and transport. Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Cooney says for many people, the cost of going green is simply too high.

Conleth McGeary - Irish Artist Of The Week

Conleth Mc Geary’s latest single ‘Beverly’ is an acoustic folk ballad built around melodic vocals and intimate guitar, carrying the ache of leaving home and the quiet comfort of family as a refuge. With post-breakup travel, nostalgia, and emotional storytelling at its core, it sits naturally beside Dermot Kennedy and Damien Rice. Speaking on the track, Conleth says: “This song is about relying on family for healing. I think most Irish people have some relation to either living away in America or Australia, and I went to my big cousin for a summer in Boston on a J1 visa. I was lucky enough to have someone to lean on during that time, and I had the summer of my life.” ‘Beverly’ marks Conleth’s first release since signing with Rubarb Music - the newly launched Irish artist development label from Grammy Award-winning producer and mix engineer Ruadhri Cushnan and music industry veteran and 2025 Dublin Entrepreneur of the Year, Shea McNelis - just in time for Conleth’s upcoming tour of Ireland and the UK, including a sell-out headline show in Belfast’s Empire Music Hall. Blending sounds of folk and home, Conleth Mc Geary has been pursuing the dream of making music which connects with people - both at home and away. Seeking inspiration from the likes of Foy Vance, and more recently, Amble and Ye Vagabonds, Conleth's style has been created through years of graft as a solo musician across Ireland and the UK, touring both extensively, and supporting artists such as The Coronas. Having made his way to Australia with The Coronas on their 'Thoughts and Observations' tour in 2024, Conleth followed it up with a rousing headline appearance on the Emerging Artists stage at Misneach - a festival curated by Dermot Kennedy - in Sydney in March 2025.
