Grounded Flights, Mr. President (6)

Grace on the Ground Where Fear Stands (5)

A little-known chapter of County Clare’s history is being brought to light in a new book and lecture this week. 

Rita McCarthy, a Clare-based social historian, has spent years researching the County Clare Nursery—a mother and baby home that operated from 1922 to 1932 in Kilrush. Her book, Forgotten Lives, uncovers the experiences of unmarried mothers and their children in the early years of the Irish Free State. 

Rita spoke to Alan Morrissey on Thursday's Morning Focus to discuss her research and the stories of those whose lives were largely hidden from history.

A proposal spearheaded by a Clare MEP regarding AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery could soon become EU-wide legislation. EU lawmakers have voted to support a ban proposed by Scariff Independent MEP Michael McNamara which would see applications allowing "nudification" prohibited. If a majority in the European Parliament vote next week to include the measure in the package of amendments known as the AI Act Omnibus, apps will no longer be allowed to facilitate the generation of nude photos or videos of a person without their consent. MEP McNamara has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons it's about establishing "uniformity" across the bloc.

The Tánaiste says he believes there should be an inquiry into the charges brought against eleven Midwest Gardaí, including three with Clare links, who were accused of perverting the course of justice. Four defendants, along with a retired superintendent, were found not guilty in January in the long-running case relating to the alleged termination of tickets for road traffic offences. Three additional Gardaí in the Limerick division, who were due to stand trial on similar charges, were yesterday informed by the Director of Public Prosecutions that all charges against them are being dropped. The Justice Minister yesterday told the Dáil that an inquiry wouldn't be in "anyone's best interest." Labour TD Alan Kelly once again told the Dáil this lunchtime that lives have been "destroyed" as a result of the investigation. In response, Tánaiste Simon Harris said he agrees with the Taoiseach that an inquiry should be held and that the Gardaí involved "deserve an explanation."

The Health Minister will be pressed to immediately enhance Clare's ambulance resources and provide a permanent air service during a visit due to take place in the near future. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has accepted an invitation from the Friends of Ennis Hospital and is expected to survey the county before the end of the month. It comes just over a week after the Minister promised a full review into the expansion of Clare's health services, when unveiling the new hospital campus site in Raheen. Friends of Ennis Hospital Chairperson Angela Coll has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that while a new hospital is the ultimate goal, ambulance deficits must be addressed now.
