Wednesday saw the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin come face to face with US President, Donald Trump. The two met in the Oval Office, as part of the traditional St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Donald Trump says he wants the US to come up with tax policies that would prevent Ireland and other countries from taking business away from America. The US President referenced the Apple Tax case, blaming the EU rather than Ireland for the 16 billion euro tax bill. Mr Trump says he wants politicians in the United States to work together on tax and insisted he's not upset with Ireland. Meanwhile, Micheal Martin highlighted the benefits to both countries of the relationship between Ireland and the US. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Dr Chris McInerney. Photo (c) The White House via X

Clare Branch Of Irish Kidney Association "Lobbying Very Hard" For Dialysis Unit 2:37

18 hoursที่แล้ว2:37

2:37

The Clare branch of the Irish Kidney Assocation says it's "lobbying very hard" for a dialysis unit in Clare this World Kidney Day. In conjunction with the annual awareness day which has rolled around again, the Irish Kidney Association, or IKA, has launched its '1 in 10 People' campaign to shine a light on kidney health awareness. The campaign, according to the IKA, is intended to make people more aware of kidney-related health conditions. It's estimated that one in 10 people in Ireland and one in seven over the age of 50 are living with Chronic Kidney Disease or CKD. Of these, a startling 98% don't know they have the condition which is on track to be the fifth leading cause of death here by 2040. Clare people in need of renal care currently have to go either to University Hospital Limerick or its satellite centre on the Dock Road in Limerick. While the HSE had at one point said Ennis Hospital would have a dialysis unit by the end of this year, this has now been pushed back to November 2026. Chairperson of the Clare branch of the IKA Dermot Hayes people here are travelling an exceptional distance to access the care they need. At this week's meeting of Clare County Council, Clarecastle Sinn Féín Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle tabled a motion seeking clarity on the delivery of the Ennis dialysis unit. Specifically, he's requested a precise timeline on the commencement of services, confirmation of its location, details of the contractor and confirmation of the project's current status. He says many in this county are confused and need answers as a matter of urgency.…

Mayor Claims Parking Debate "Harmful To Ennis" 4:11

1 dayที่แล้ว4:11

4:11

The Mayor of Ennis claims the ongoing debate around parking in the county town is "harmful" to its public image and will deter visitors. Sparks flew at this weeks meeting of Ennis Muncipal District as parking once again dominated early discussions. Following a motion tabled by Clarecastle Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan at a November 2023 meeting of Ennis MD, it was revealed that there had been a 9% reduction in the number of car parking spaces in Ennis over a 15-year period. In light of recent public realm works as well as developments such as the new Ennis library, Councillor O'Callaghan has this week requested an update on any further losses since November 2023. The response from Ennis MD states that the town has almost 3000 spaces and has one space for every 13 people living in it compared to one space for every 29 people in Waterford and one space for every 24 people in Navan. It also says that while some spaces have been lost due to recent developments in the town, almost 350 spaces will soon be added resulting from the Cloister Car Park proposal and the upcoming Lidl store on the Clare Road. Cathaoirleach of Ennis Municipal District, Fianna Fáil Councillor Clare Colleran-Molloy, says she's completely at odds with her party colleague's view on parking in Ennis. Councillors Mary Howard and Paul Murphy echoed the idea that Ennis doesn't have a parking problem while Councillors Tommy Guilfoyle and Pat Daly spoke in support of Councillor O'Callaghan's motion. During the meeting, Councillor O'Callaghan referenced two reports published in 2008 and 2012 which identified a parking shortfall in the county town. He claims some local representatives are trying to ignore this problem and says "if there was a deficit then, there's a deficit now".…
