The Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) is urging Government to introduce an emergency winter payment for people with disabilities, following deep disappointment that Budget 2026 once again failed to deliver a permanent Cost of Disability Payment. 

Without targeted support this winter, thousands of people with disabilities will face increased hardship, isolation, and impossible choices between heating and eating.  

To discuss this in detail, Alan Morrissey was joined by Anne-Marie Flanagan, Clare Disability Rights Activist with Clare Leader Forum and Niamh O’Callaghan, a Shannon resident disabled due to a car crash and now bearing the costs of rehab.

Italian-born and London-based, Mattia Turchetti, known as M.F.S: Observatory, has spent the past decade refining a sound that sits between engineering precision and raw club instinct.

His productions and DJ sets balance M.F.S: Obervatory's hypnotic repetition with emotional restraint, merging the discipline of a sound designer with the pulse of a dancefloor tactician. “My first musical memories come from home,” he begins. “My brother introduced me to electronic music, while my parents played Italian artists like Pino Daniele, Fabrizio De André, and Francesco De Gregori. That mix of emotion, melody, and rhythm shaped my ear from an early age. I started experimenting with drum machines and early software, fascinated by how rhythm could control a room. That curiosity slowly evolved into DJing and then producing my own music.”
The alias came later, carrying both geographical and philosophical weight. “I’m from a village facing Mount Vesuvio, where the observatory stands, and that idea of watching and listening from above felt powerful. We started as a trio, but over time it became my solo project. The name stayed because it reflects how I approach music: always observing, studying, and experimenting with sound.”

It's claimed specfic policies targeting the rental markey need to be implimented by the Government in order to combat rising monthly rents in Clare. 

It comes as the latest Daft.ie quarterly report shows the price of newly leasing a three-bed home has risen to more than €1,600 a month, while the average cost of renting a room in Clare has also increased to €609 monthly.

Meanwhile, Cabinet  has this morning signed off on its new housing plan, which aims to deliver 300,000 homes by 2030 and will also include plans to invest €2.5 billion in the Land Development Agency.

Economist at Trinity College Dublin and author of the Daft.ie report Ronan Lyons has been telling Clare FM's Darragh O'Grady that it's unlikely capacity can increase quick enough to deliver on those targets.
