Domestic Violence Register Law To Be Brought To Cabinet
The Government is set to bring forward Jennie’s Law this week, legislation that would establish a public register of people convicted of serious domestic violence offences. Named in memory of Jennifer Poole, the law is designed to help people make safer decisions in relationships by allowing access to information about past convictions. However, it also raises important questions around privacy, victim safety, and how effectively such measures can prevent domestic abuse. To discuss the potential impact of the proposed legislation, Alan Morrissey joined by Siobhán O’Connor, Director of Services with Clare Haven.Photo (c) Collins via The Irish Independent
East Clare And Tipp Locals Raise Concern Over Drinking Water Quality
Residents served by the Newport Water Treatment Plant have been living under a Boil Water Notice since May 20th, with many expressing frustration at the lack of clarity around when the issue will be resolved. Concerns have also been raised about communication from Uisce Éireann and the absence of alternative water supplies for affected households. The situation comes as Uisce Éireann prepares for another community engagement event on the proposed Shannon Pipeline later this month, prompting some residents to question confidence in the utility's ability to deliver major infrastructure projects. To discuss these issues, Alan Morrissey was joined by local resident Yvonne Moloney and Killaloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Tony O'Brien.Photo (c) Uisce Eireann
Controversial Elements Of Ennis 2040 Strategy Scrapped
Clare County Council has scrapped two of the most controversial elements of the Ennis 2040 Strategy from the County Development Plan. Proposals to build a boardwalk over the Ennis Post Office Field and a mixed-use commercial building at Abbey Street had been the subject of large local protests since 2023. The projects were officially paused by the Ennis 2040 DAC last year, before a proposed variation to the County Development Plan in March suggested removing them altogether. Elected representatives yesterday today voted in favour of the variation, which will also designate 250 sites and 1,200 acres for residential use countywide. Cora Hahessy from Save Ennis Town and Martin Vernon, Chairperson of the 'Hands Off Ennis Post Office Field' campaign, spoke to Alan Morrissey about the scrapping of these plans.Photo (c) Clare County Council
EU Migration and Asylum Pact Continues To Spark Debate

As Ireland moves to implement the pact, questions remain about its impact on the asylum system and what it will mean in practice. Alan Morrissey spoke to Shannon Sinn Fein TD Donna McGettigan and Fine Fáil TD Timmy Dooley to get their opinions on the issue.Image (c) European Union
