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 Margaret Guinnane, Kilnamona, Nara Coates, Lisdoonvarna, Michael O'Friel, Miltown and Stephen Curtin, Ballyea. "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.

According to Eric Shaw, two large punt guns were acquired in Clarecastle in the 1890s. The punts traversed the Fergus estuary shooting flocks of geese and duck. A extremely large variety of shotgun, the punt gun was used in the 19th and early 20th centuries to shoot large numbers of waterfowl for commercial harvesting operations. According to Eric, the two guns were used in the area for a number of years before their owners moved away, leaving the guns behind them. The guns were passed on to Clarecastle Heritage Group and recently the Clarecastle Mens Shed built a replica punt boat to demonstrate how these huge firearms were used.

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/I0000lgKTpwNK9VQhttps://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000lgKTpwNK9VQ/fit=1000x1000/Colaiste-Muire08-05-2011-006.jpgColaiste Muire Open Day for 150th AnniversaryPupil Eithne Hickey with a Technology project during the open day as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations at Colaiste Muire in Ennis.

As part of their CSPE course the group studied animal cruelty and teacher Imelda Burke organised a visit to the school by Frank Coote, a worker with the ISPCA in Ennis. Assisted by an abandoned puppy on his way to a new home, Mr. Coote gave a talk on the abuse and mistreatment of both domestic and farm animals and the work he does with the society. That morning alone he had put down thirty-six stray dogs not claimed within the 7-day period. Spurred on by this visit and newspaper articles they had looked at while studying violence towards animals, the students held a cake sale and organised a raffle in January and February to raise funds for the charity.....The presentation of the Ä300 cheque was made to the ISPCA on Wednesday last and our picture shows from left; Cathal Garry with "Spike", Eoin Breen, Frankie Coote, ISPCA dog Warden, Karen Ryan and Shona Cleary with "Abbey" Photograph by John Kelly...https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000ymJfDq.E2LYhttps://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000ymJfDq.E2LY/fit=1000x1000/SMB-V-OC-Mills-20200927-060.jpgSHC county final Sixmilebridge V O Callaghan's Mills at Cusack ParkNoel Purcell of Sixmilebridge celebrates following their senior championship final win over O Callaghan's Mills at Cusack Park.
