Year after year their dad Harry would bring the family to the West Clare festival where he played with the Downtown Dixieland Band. A well known drummer and jazz aficionado, Harry died in October 2021, just seven months after his beloved wife Ita. For Derek and Jennifer, this year began with another family tragedy, when their brother Alan died from cancer in January. For this family, the Doonbeg Jazz Festival was an occasion to renew old friendships, enjoy the music of their childhood and make some new memories.

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.
