Maura’s personal stake and advocacy, derived from her experiences as the mother of an extraordinary son with a disability, lend her perspective both authenticity and urgency. She stresses the imperative of maintaining momentum in the fight for the advancement of disabled people’s rights, highlighting the book’s role as a vital educational resource: “It is critical that the pressure is kept on government to progress the rights of disabled people. I am proud mother of an incredible man who has a disability and know first hand the importance of a rights based system, a fully accessible environment and inclusive attitudes. This book is extraordinarily impressive, covering over 100 years and including 100 people’s voices. I really hope that people buy the book, learn about the efforts made to bring about change and be allies. Anyone can acquire a disability. It’s benefits everybody to respect and include disabled people.” The book can be purchased online or in store Ennis Bookshop www.ennisbookshop.ie and the Banner Books www.bannerbooks.ie.

Pupils of Liscannor National School and Mol an Óige Steiner National School in Ennistymon visited the residents of St Dominic Savio Nursing Home in Liscannor and Ennistymon Community Hospital to perform Christmas carols, nativity plays and spread some Christmas cheer. Pictured are children of Liscannor NS children visiting Liscannor Nursing Home on Tuesday and entertaining residents Tom Connolly, Lisdoonvarna and Margaret Griffin, Miltown/Inagh. "Christmas is about reaching out with compassion, staying connected and sending love to each other," says Melanie Lennon, Sales and Marketing Manager at the Cliffs of Moher Experience. "This is the fourth year running that we have undertaken this community initiative with the schools, and it is lovely to see both the children and the residents enjoying it so much." The Craft and Gift store and the Cliffs View Café, as in previous years, sponsored gifts and provided treats on both days. The staff at each of the centres were treated to a variety of home-cooked goodies as a thank you for all the hard work and the residents receive a small gift from the Craft and Gift store at the Cliffs. Children and staff from both schools will be treated to a day out at the Cliffs of Moher Experience in 2024.

Having spent the weeks up to Christmas in hospital recovering from a fourth surgical procedure, Sarah says, “I’ve always been aware of having a talent for art but I’ve never put it to use. A few years ago I got sick and after several surgical interventions as well as the ongoing lockdown, it has led to mainly staying at home.” Sarah is working on a new website and hopes to develop her creativity into a small business, “to keep me going and motivated while I’m recovering”.

Pupils of Liscannor National School and Mol an Óige Steiner National School in Ennistymon visited the residents of St Dominic Savio Nursing Home in Liscannor and Ennistymon Community Hospital to perform Christmas carols, nativity plays and spread some Christmas cheer. "Christmas is about reaching out with compassion, staying connected and sending love to each other," says Melanie Lennon, Sales and Marketing Manager at the Cliffs of Moher Experience. "This is the fourth year running that we have undertaken this community initiative with the schools, and it is lovely to see both the children and the residents enjoying it so much." The Craft and Gift store and the Cliffs View Café, as in previous years, sponsored gifts and provided treats on both days. The staff at each of the centres were treated to a variety of home-cooked goodies as a thank you for all the hard work and the residents receive a small gift from the Craft and Gift store at the Cliffs. Children and staff from both schools will be treated to a day out at the Cliffs of Moher Experience in 2024. Pictured are children from Lisdoonvarna Primary School, Evie O'Gorman, Arwen Gavin, Darragh Considine and Darragh Cronin with resident Betty Whyte, Spanish Point.

Maura’s personal stake and advocacy, derived from her experiences as the mother of an extraordinary son with a disability, lend her perspective both authenticity and urgency. She stresses the imperative of maintaining momentum in the fight for the advancement of disabled people’s rights, highlighting the book’s role as a vital educational resource: “It is critical that the pressure is kept on government to progress the rights of disabled people. I am proud mother of an incredible man who has a disability and know first hand the importance of a rights based system, a fully accessible environment and inclusive attitudes. This book is extraordinarily impressive, covering over 100 years and including 100 people’s voices. I really hope that people buy the book, learn about the efforts made to bring about change and be allies. Anyone can acquire a disability. It’s benefits everybody to respect and include disabled people.” The book can be purchased online or in store Ennis Bookshop www.ennisbookshop.ie and the Banner Books www.bannerbooks.ie.

The cut was of Red Clover variety which is high in feed value, protein and minerals and while it is only suitable for silage making and not for grazing, it can be harvested up to four times a year. The crop, which yields approximately twenty five bales per acre per year, gets no artificial fertiliser but has slurry spread on it after each cut to drive it.

The company is collaborating with other technology partners to establish a research hub in Shannon to be known as The Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI). Among these are well known brands such as Seagate, Cisco, Renovo, Red Hat and Valeo, a French car component supplier. During 2021 up to 12km of local roads around Shannon will be fitted with sensors o provide communication with autonomous cars and ‘smart’ features to warn control systems in the vehicles of possible hazards. According to JLR other infrastructure will include electric car-charging terminals, autonomous parking areas and a dedicated air corridor at Shannon Airport allowing for the deployment of drones to monitor and locate the autonomous test cars. Up to €7 million will be invested in the project, it is expected that further announcements on jobs and recruitment will be made in the near future. Commenting on the testing project John Cormican, general manager for Shannon Ireland Jaguar Land Rover, said: “This partnership with FMCI provides us with a real-world facility to trial our emerging autonomous, connected, electrified and shared technology in a strategic location. Collaborating with top-tier software companies will allow us to develop our future systems more efficiently.” Russell Vickers, chief executive of FMCI, said the Shannon Free Zone would offer a “first-class facility” for the tests. He added, “the testbed provides an opportunity to test in the real world and help answer some of the questions posed by the future of mobility in a collaborative and efficient way.” Photograph by Eugene McCafferty on 23/10/2020https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000zA29eAJhpvEhttps://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000zA29eAJhpvE/fit=1000x1000/LE-Election-Count-20190402-167.jpgLocal Election 2019 count at Treacy's West County HotelSupporters raise Shane Talty on their shoulders as he is deemed elected in the first count during the Clare Local Election count at the West County Hotel, Ennis.
