PRESS RELEASE PROVIDED:
Missionvale:
Three Transition year students from St. John Bosco Community college,
Kildysart, are preparing for what will surely be the highlight of their TY as
they travel to Missionvale, in South Africa for their midterm break.
Críodha Mc Mahon, Anna Cleary and Emma Kelly along with their
teacher Ms. Keane and other students and adults from Co. Clare will
travel on February 13 th to volunteer at the missionvale Care Centre, for a
week.
St. John Bosco Community college has established strong links with
Missionvale and this will be the schools tenth year participating in the
project with many staff and students having availed of this unique
experience to give of their time over the years.
The students are looking forward to working in the primary school, in the
Nutrition Centre, the clothing warehouse, the garden and in completing
general maintenance work. A tour of the township where the locals live
will give a real insight into the daily poverty and hardship experienced by
the people.
None of the improvements and developments in Missionvale would have
happened without the vision and determination of Sr. Ethel Normoyle
(RIP) from Lissycasey and the support she received from others
especially the people of Ireland and Co. Clare. Thankfully, Sr. Ethel had
the vision to empower others to continue the great work she started and
today the Missionvale Care Centre continues to serve the impoverished
community of Missionvale. Sr. Ethel’s legacy will continue there with the
support of volunteers and donations. Prior to their departure the

PRESS RELEASE PROVIDED:
Missionvale:
Three Transition year students from St. John Bosco Community college,
Kildysart, are preparing for what will surely be the highlight of their TY as
they travel to Missionvale, in South Africa for their midterm break.
Críodha Mc Mahon, Anna Cleary and Emma Kelly along with their
teacher Ms. Keane and other students and adults from Co. Clare will
travel on February 13 th to volunteer at the missionvale Care Centre, for a
week.
St. John Bosco Community college has established strong links with
Missionvale and this will be the schools tenth year participating in the
project with many staff and students having availed of this unique
experience to give of their time over the years.
The students are looking forward to working in the primary school, in the
Nutrition Centre, the clothing warehouse, the garden and in completing
general maintenance work. A tour of the township where the locals live
will give a real insight into the daily poverty and hardship experienced by
the people.
None of the improvements and developments in Missionvale would have
happened without the vision and determination of Sr. Ethel Normoyle
(RIP) from Lissycasey and the support she received from others
especially the people of Ireland and Co. Clare. Thankfully, Sr. Ethel had
the vision to empower others to continue the great work she started and
today the Missionvale Care Centre continues to serve the impoverished
community of Missionvale. Sr. Ethel’s legacy will continue there with the
support of volunteers and donations. Prior to their departure the

Minister Darragh O’Brien officially opens €20 million Banner Plaza at Junction 12 on the M18

Banner Plaza, the new €20 million motorway service station at Junction 12 on the M18 in Breckan, was officially opened today by Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment and Minister for Transport, at a special event attended by public representatives, local guests, project partners and members of the wider community.

The official opening marked a major milestone for the Atlantic Corridor, with Banner Plaza now providing services on what had been a 100-kilometre stretch of motorway between Limerick and Galway without a service station.



Guests gathered at the new facility for the formal opening ceremony, which celebrated both the scale of the investment and the significance of the development for motorists, commuters, tourism traffic and the wider region. The occasion also highlighted the local contribution behind the project, with many Clare-based contractors, suppliers and professional firms involved in bringing Banner Plaza from planning stage to completion.



Among those taking part in the official opening were Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Plaza Group owner Pat McDonagh, invited public representatives and guests, while the event also featured live music from the Kilfenora Céilí Band, adding a strong local and celebratory flavour to the occasion.



Banner Plaza has created 120 jobs and includes a large food court featuring Supermac’s, Papa John’s and Mac’s Place Deli, together with a convenience retail offering, fuel forecourt, extensive parking for cars, buses and HGVs, and eight super-fast EV charging points.



Speaking at the event, Pat McDonagh said:

“Today was an important day for everyone involved in this project and for the wider region. Banner Plaza is a major investment on the Atlantic Corridor and it was great to officially mark the opening with so many of those who</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000j0lNIY9fyb4</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000j0lNIY9fyb4/fit=1000x1000/Condolence-4.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Paddy Hillery Condolence</image:title><image:caption>Sean Collins, Barefield, signs the Book of Condolence at De Valera Library in Ennis on Monday morning.Pic Arthur Ellis.</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000pmZXTxa0y0o</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000pmZXTxa0y0o/fit=1000x1000/INTO-Mini-Sevens-Finals-20260324-006.jpg</image:loc><image:title>INTO Cumann na mBunscol Mini 7s Hurling finals at Sixmilebridge</image:title><image:caption>Kilmaley Principal Leonard McNamara with his charges at half time in one of their games at the INTO Cumann na mBunscol Mini 7s Hurling finals in Sixmilebridge.

Minister Darragh O’Brien officially opens €20 million Banner Plaza at Junction 12 on the M18

Banner Plaza, the new €20 million motorway service station at Junction 12 on the M18 in Breckan, was officially opened today by Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment and Minister for Transport, at a special event attended by public representatives, local guests, project partners and members of the wider community.

The official opening marked a major milestone for the Atlantic Corridor, with Banner Plaza now providing services on what had been a 100-kilometre stretch of motorway between Limerick and Galway without a service station.



Guests gathered at the new facility for the formal opening ceremony, which celebrated both the scale of the investment and the significance of the development for motorists, commuters, tourism traffic and the wider region. The occasion also highlighted the local contribution behind the project, with many Clare-based contractors, suppliers and professional firms involved in bringing Banner Plaza from planning stage to completion.



Among those taking part in the official opening were Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Plaza Group owner Pat McDonagh, invited public representatives and guests, while the event also featured live music from the Kilfenora Céilí Band, adding a strong local and celebratory flavour to the occasion.



Banner Plaza has created 120 jobs and includes a large food court featuring Supermac’s, Papa John’s and Mac’s Place Deli, together with a convenience retail offering, fuel forecourt, extensive parking for cars, buses and HGVs, and eight super-fast EV charging points.



Speaking at the event, Pat McDonagh said:

“Today was an important day for everyone involved in this project and for the wider region. Banner Plaza is a major investment on the Atlantic Corridor and it was great to officially mark the opening with so many of those</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I00006i_H56zH.rI</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I00006i_H56zH.rI/fit=1000x1000/TB-Walshe-Memorial-20211007-001.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Thomas Bernard Walsh memorial plaque at Shragh NS</image:title><image:caption>A view of the Thomas Bernard Walshe memorial plaque at Shragh NS.

Hardly anybody in Tipperary hurling is as beloved as Johnny Leahy. With the game hanging on a thread in P‡irc U’ Chaoimh, Nicky English plays his talisman. As Leahy joins the fray the stadium erupts. There is a sense of drama about everything he does. His entry says something. Game on. ClareÕs own rain-maker is Brian Lohan. The thought of the two men clashing with the game going to the death is what makes hurling great. Sixty seconds of thunder. Then Johnny Leahy bursts for this ball, arriving behind Lohan. He falls awkwardly and rips his cruciate ligament. Show over Ñ but the residue of his inspirational arrival will sustain his comrades.......

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.

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.

Minister Darragh O’Brien officially opens €20 million Banner Plaza at Junction 12 on the M18

Banner Plaza, the new €20 million motorway service station at Junction 12 on the M18 in Breckan, was officially opened today by Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment and Minister for Transport, at a special event attended by public representatives, local guests, project partners and members of the wider community.

The official opening marked a major milestone for the Atlantic Corridor, with Banner Plaza now providing services on what had been a 100-kilometre stretch of motorway between Limerick and Galway without a service station.



Guests gathered at the new facility for the formal opening ceremony, which celebrated both the scale of the investment and the significance of the development for motorists, commuters, tourism traffic and the wider region. The occasion also highlighted the local contribution behind the project, with many Clare-based contractors, suppliers and professional firms involved in bringing Banner Plaza from planning stage to completion.



Among those taking part in the official opening were Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Plaza Group owner Pat McDonagh, invited public representatives and guests, while the event also featured live music from the Kilfenora Céilí Band, adding a strong local and celebratory flavour to the occasion.

Quin Players take to the stage in Quin Hall, this weekend, Saturday and Sunday evening, February 15 and 16. They will be performing ‘The Year of the Hiker’ by John B Keane. It is their first production since February 2023. 
The play, which is directed by David O’Regan, tells a story of how The Hiker abandoned his family and returns 20 years later. Each of his family has their own story and how it has affected them. His untimely return, on the morning of his daughter’s wedding, brings to the fore the deep scars that surface due to his departure.  
The play has a cast of seven, ably supported by a backstage crew.</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000GS2E2iaMwns</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000GS2E2iaMwns/fit=1000x1000/Clare-Cup-Broadford-V-Inagh-Kilnamona-16.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Clare Cup Broadford V Inagh Kilnamona-16.jpg</image:title><image:caption>Jason Griffin of Inagh Kilnamona in action against Shane Taylor and Michael Vaughan of Broadford</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I00000TwJve5YO0U</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I00000TwJve5YO0U/fit=1000x1000/rachel-lenihan-athletics.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Rachel Lenihan, athlete</image:title><image:caption>Rachel Lenihan, athlete</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000t.deV7RzSJY</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000t.deV7RzSJY/fit=1000x1000/Fleadh20160817-023.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Fleadh 2016 street scenes in Ennis</image:title><image:caption>Jaymee and  Kayla Martin of Louth perform on Abbey street, Ennis during Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann.

Minister Darragh O’Brien officially opens €20 million Banner Plaza at Junction 12 on the M18

Banner Plaza, the new €20 million motorway service station at Junction 12 on the M18 in Breckan, was officially opened today by Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment and Minister for Transport, at a special event attended by public representatives, local guests, project partners and members of the wider community.

The official opening marked a major milestone for the Atlantic Corridor, with Banner Plaza now providing services on what had been a 100-kilometre stretch of motorway between Limerick and Galway without a service station.



Guests gathered at the new facility for the formal opening ceremony, which celebrated both the scale of the investment and the significance of the development for motorists, commuters, tourism traffic and the wider region. The occasion also highlighted the local contribution behind the project, with many Clare-based contractors, suppliers and professional firms involved in bringing Banner Plaza from planning stage to completion.



Among those taking part in the official opening were Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Plaza Group owner Pat McDonagh, invited public representatives and guests, while the event also featured live music from the Kilfenora Céilí Band, adding a strong local and celebratory flavour to the occasion.



Banner Plaza has created 120 jobs and includes a large food court featuring Supermac’s, Papa John’s and Mac’s Place Deli, together with a convenience retail offering, fuel forecourt, extensive parking for cars, buses and HGVs, and eight super-fast EV charging points.



Speaking at the event, Pat McDonagh said:

Banner Plaza, the new €20 million motorway service station at Junction 12 on the M18 in Breckan, was officially opened today by Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment and Minister for Transport, at a special event attended by public representatives, local guests, project partners and members of the wider community.

The official opening marked a major milestone for the Atlantic Corridor, with Banner Plaza now providing services on what had been a 100-kilometre stretch of motorway between Limerick and Galway without a service station.



Guests gathered at the new facility for the formal opening ceremony, which celebrated both the scale of the investment and the significance of the development for motorists, commuters, tourism traffic and the wider region. The occasion also highlighted the local contribution behind the project, with many Clare-based contractors, suppliers and professional firms involved in bringing Banner Plaza from planning stage to completion.



Among those taking part in the official opening were Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Plaza Group owner Pat McDonagh, invited public representatives and guests, while the event also featured live music from the Kilfenora Céilí Band, adding a strong local and celebratory flavour to the occasion.



Banner Plaza has created 120 jobs and includes a large food court featuring Supermac’s, Papa John’s and Mac’s Place Deli, together with a convenience retail offering, fuel forecourt, extensive parking for cars, buses and HGVs, and eight super-fast EV charging points.

Banner Plaza, the new €20 million motorway service station at Junction 12 on the M18 in Breckan, was officially opened today by Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment and Minister for Transport, at a special event attended by public representatives, local guests, project partners and members of the wider community.

The official opening marked a major milestone for the Atlantic Corridor, with Banner Plaza now providing services on what had been a 100-kilometre stretch of motorway between Limerick and Galway without a service station.



Guests gathered at the new facility for the formal opening ceremony, which celebrated both the scale of the investment and the significance of the development for motorists, commuters, tourism traffic and the wider region. The occasion also highlighted the local contribution behind the project, with many Clare-based contractors, suppliers and professional firms involved in bringing Banner Plaza from planning stage to completion.



Among those taking part in the official opening were Minister Darragh O’Brien TD, Plaza Group owner Pat McDonagh, invited public representatives and guests, while the event also featured live music from the Kilfenora Céilí Band, adding a strong local and celebratory flavour to the occasion.



Banner Plaza has created 120 jobs and includes a large food court featuring Supermac’s, Papa John’s and Mac’s Place Deli, together with a convenience retail offering, fuel forecourt, extensive parking for cars, buses and HGVs, and eight super-fast EV charging points.



Speaking at the event, Pat McDonagh said:

“Today was an important day for everyone involved in this project and for the wider region. Banner Plaza is a major investment on the Atlantic Corridor and it was great to officially mark the opening with so many of those who helped make it happen.
