In Clare, the County Council is moving forward with a €400K public realm project in East Clare, inviting contractors to bid for paving and landscaping works. This initiative is part of the Mountshannon public realm and mobility plan, aiming to enhance the local infrastructure and environment.

Moreover, there has been a remarkable near 80% reduction in home heating oil use in Clare. Nearly 76% of households with a Building Energy Rating in the county have made the switch from oil to alternative fuel sources over the past year. This significant shift reflects a growing awareness and commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Additionally, Clare FM, the local radio station, has secured €16k in funding for various radio programs and documentaries. This funding, part of the License fee-funded Sound and Vision scheme, will support the station in producing engaging and informative content for its listeners.

Ending on a high note, the progress of the East Clare public realm project signifies a step towards a more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing environment for residents. The shift in home heating trends not only reduces carbon footprint but also showcases the community's dedication to greener living. Finally, the funding received by Clare FM highlights the importance of supporting local media and the diverse programming it offers to the community.
