This study explores the viability of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) as an alternative energy source. The project aims to understand the efficiency and practicality of using microbial activity to generate electricity. It will also investigate which soil types generate the highest electrical output. By harnessing this renewable energy, the project aims to determine its future potential as a sustainable energy source.

This study explores the viability of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) as an alternative energy source. The project aims to understand the efficiency and practicality of using microbial activity to generate electricity. It will also investigate which soil types generate the highest electrical output. By harnessing this renewable energy, the project aims to determine its future potential as a sustainable energy source.

The boys come from agricultural backgrounds in west Clare and are extremely interested in agriculture, in particular grass conservation. They aim to make farming in Ireland more sustainable by creating a biodegradable and edible alternative to plastic bale net. Recycling companies are reluctant to take bale netting because it becomes contaminated over time from built up of particles. As a result, bale netting is disposed off using quicker and cheaper methods that cause serious damage to the environment. As part of their BT project, they tested the tensile strength of various sustainable materials and have come up with an alternative material that matches the tensile strength of plastic bale net but exceeds it in that it is biodegradable and edible.

However he continued to hurl at competitive level, In Australia he helped Dan Breens to their first ever Melbourne league title, from there it was on to the US where he hurled with the Tipperary club in San Fransisco. Now back home in Shannon, Aaron has settled into a new teaching position in Doon, Co. Limerick and has returned to training with Wolfe Tones and Clare.

The boys come from agricultural backgrounds in west Clare and are extremely interested in agriculture, in particular grass conservation. They aim to make farming in Ireland more sustainable by creating a biodegradable and edible alternative to plastic bale net. Recycling companies are reluctant to take bale netting because it becomes contaminated over time from built up of particles. As a result, bale netting is disposed off using quicker and cheaper methods that cause serious damage to the environment. As part of their BT project, they tested the tensile strength of various sustainable materials and have come up with an alternative material that matches the tensile strength of plastic bale net but exceeds it in that it is biodegradable and edible.

The project's aim is to investigate the use and implementation of augmented reality in everyday life. 
Augmented reality is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of 
the real world, thus providing a composite view. Augmented reality opens a wide range of possibilities 
for the unification of man and machine allowing the user to seamlessly apply digital data to the real 
world.

In the distance is Liz’s husband Mike who donned his waders to walk for help. Gerardine had just returned from Dublin after appearing on RTE’s Claire Byrne Live. On arrival she made some calls but nobody came to drive her through the flood waters to her home. So she stood helpless in the driving hail and pouring rain with her bags and shopping.

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.

Liam, who has just turned 16, suffered a debilitating spinal stroke last September. According to his mum, Diane, this is a very rare condition that affects one in three million people. As a result of his condition, Liam spent 25 weeks in Temple Street Children’s University Hospital before being transferred to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dún Laoghaire one month ago. 

Due to Liam’s very positive experience, organisers of the Easter Bunny 5k decided to include Temple Street in their fundraising endeavour this year. Diane Roche hopes that the tremendous community effort in Cree will contribute towards a MOTOmed movement therapy machine that can be used at home by Liam as part of his rehab treatment to build strength in his legs.

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 boys come from agricultural backgrounds in west Clare and are extremely interested in agriculture, in particular grass conservation. They aim to make farming in Ireland more sustainable by creating a biodegradable and edible alternative to plastic bale net. Recycling companies are reluctant to take bale netting because it becomes contaminated over time from built up of particles. As a result, bale netting is disposed off using quicker and cheaper methods that cause serious damage to the environment. As part of their BT project, they tested the tensile strength of various sustainable materials and have come up with an alternative material that matches the tensile strength of plastic bale net but exceeds it in that it is biodegradable and edible.
