Campaign Trail of Ghosts for 4 years

All last week, we heard daily reports from our very own Colum McGrath on his adventures in Kenya. 

Colum was in Mombasa with the Clare-based Ray of Sunshine Foundation, sharing powerful stories of how local generosity is transforming lives.

He spoke with Alan Morrissey on Mondays Morning Focus to share his experience.

The Clare-based Chair of the Oireachtas Education Committee says any third-level supports introduced in budget 2026 should be permanent measures.

Student fees were cut by €1,000 in last years budget, however the Government has already ruled out the prospect of once-off payments this time round.

However it's been reported today that college and university fees will be cut by up to €500 in next months budget.

Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan the details won't be known until budget day.

-       Los dos primeros episodios de Alien Earth.

-       La película Together.

-       La película La hora de la desaparición (Weapons).

-       La nueva Y dónde está el policía (The Naked Gun, 2025).
