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.

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.

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...</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000uBdPnPrd3Lk</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000uBdPnPrd3Lk/fit=1000x1000/Estuary-Floods20140105-009.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Farms Flooded at Kildysart and Ballynacally</image:title><image:caption>Floating Harvest.....Gerry Murtagh and his son Damien assess the damage to their summer harvest of silage bales after over 20 acres of their farm got flooded at Lacknashannagh, Kildysart on the Shannon Estuary.

A remarkable community initiative bringing comfort to patients and families across the Mid West has flourished over the past six weeks in Clarecastle Daycare Centre and Kilnamona Community Hall
Funded and Organised by LCETB,  Tutor Claire Connellan and Breda O Driscoll Community Education Coordinator, collaboration with HSE Mid West Hospital services, the project invited local participants to knit small love hearts with a deeply meaningful purpose. Each handmade heart is gifted to patients receiving end-of-life care, offering comfort and companionship, while a matching heart is given to their family as a keepsake.
Meeting weekly at Clarecastle Day Care Centre and Kilnamona Community Hall, a dedicated and talented group of women came together in a spirit of generosity and compassion. Over the course of just six weeks, the group produced an extraordinary total of approximately 2,000 knitted hearts.
Their enthusiasm shows no signs of slowing, with participants eager to continue supporting the initiative and contributing to such a worthwhile cause. The project is a shining example of how “many hands make light work,” and how small acts of kindness can have a profound impact during difficult times.
Sincere thanks are extended to Mary Moloney, Manager of Clarecastle Day Care Centre, for generously providing the space for the group to meet, along with much-appreciated tea, coffee and scones that helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere each week.
This initiative highlights the very best of community spirit in Clare — people coming together to support others with care, dignity and kindness when it matters most.

A remarkable community initiative bringing comfort to patients and families across the Mid West has flourished over the past six weeks in Clarecastle Daycare Centre and Kilnamona Community Hall
Funded and Organised by LCETB,  Tutor Claire Connellan and Breda O Driscoll Community Education Coordinator, collaboration with HSE Mid West Hospital services, the project invited local participants to knit small love hearts with a deeply meaningful purpose. Each handmade heart is gifted to patients receiving end-of-life care, offering comfort and companionship, while a matching heart is given to their family as a keepsake.
Meeting weekly at Clarecastle Day Care Centre and Kilnamona Community Hall, a dedicated and talented group of women came together in a spirit of generosity and compassion. Over the course of just six weeks, the group produced an extraordinary total of approximately 2,000 knitted hearts.
Their enthusiasm shows no signs of slowing, with participants eager to continue supporting the initiative and contributing to such a worthwhile cause. The project is a shining example of how “many hands make light work,” and how small acts of kindness can have a profound impact during difficult times.
Sincere thanks are extended to Mary Moloney, Manager of Clarecastle Day Care Centre, for generously providing the space for the group to meet, along with much-appreciated tea, coffee and scones that helped create a warm and welcoming atmosphere each week.
This initiative highlights the very best of community spirit in Clare — people coming together to support others with care, dignity and kindness when it matters most.

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

An inspirational figure, Fergus triumphed over a life-changing accident in 2018 that left him paralysed from the waist down. Despite being told he would never walk again, his remarkable resilience and unbreakable spirit fuelled his determination to defy the odds. Harnessing this mental strength, Fergus achieved extraordinary feats; walking 206 kilometres across Ireland and making an attempt to break the world record for rowing across the North Atlantic. Currently, he is on a mission to raise €1 million for Spinal Injuries Ireland by embarking on an ambitious journey this August: walking 4,500 kilometres from New York to Los Angeles.

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.&#13; &#13;Children and staff from both schools will be treated to a day out at the Cliffs of Moher Experience in 2024.&#13;Pictured is David Dutfield from Lisdoonvarna Primary School with Niamh O'Reilly, Cliffs of Moher and resident Sean O'Gorman, Miltown.&#13;Picture Arthur Ellis</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000GgY6vB6iBkU</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000GgY6vB6iBkU/fit=1000x1000/INTO-Mini-Sevens-Finals-20260324-044.jpg</image:loc><image:title>INTO Cumann na mBunscol Mini 7s Hurling finals at Sixmilebridge</image:title><image:caption>Action from the Crusheen V Sixmilebridge game 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</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000ZyrpW4GH8HA</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000ZyrpW4GH8HA/fit=1000x1000/Daryl-Darcy-Cup-Final-20260504-031.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Munster Minor Football Championship, Phase 2, Round 2 / Daryl Darcy Cup Final at Lemybrien – Clare V Waterford</image:title><image:caption>Joe Hayes, Clare manager, with his backroom team at half time during the Munster Minor Football Championship, Phase 2, Round 2 / Daryl Darcy Cup Final at Lemybrien.

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.

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.

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.

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.
 
"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.&#13;Picture Arthur Ellis</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000DHBGmzpro1U</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000DHBGmzpro1U/fit=1000x1000/Sixmilebridge-NS-Nov-30-2023-273662.jpg</image:loc><image:title>official opening of St Finnachtas NS, Sixmilebridge., St Finnachtas NS, Sixmilebridge, at 10:46:59, on Thursday, 30 November, 2023.</image:title><image:caption>Paul Fitzpatrick, Keith Walker and Corey Downes at the official opening of St Finnachtas NS, Sixmilebridge.
