  • Touch of home

    Brilliant use of this platform by Clare FM. I can pick and choose what I listen to on my commutes instead of streaming live overseas.

  • Where is the West Wind?

    I used to subscribe to an excellent Clare FM podcast of their radio program called The West Wind. It disappeared. Would love to see it back. These other programs are probably nice, but the trad music is what draws me in.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Legal Advice: Protected Disclosures In The Workplace
Q: How does one go about making a disclosure, and what channels should be used?
Start with internal policies and whistleblowing procedures in the employment contract; if ineffective or feared retaliation, report to a prescribed person such as the Data Protection Commissioner or an external body like Transparency Ireland, with guidance from a solicitor.
Legal Advice: Protected Disclosures In The Workplace
Q: Okay. So in terms of work related wrongdoing, what falls under that heading?
Wrongdoing includes criminal offenses, failure to comply with legal obligations, endangerment of health and safety, environmental damage, or improper use of public funds; the key is the employee's reasonable belief that such wrongdoing has occurred, not proof.
Ennistymon Businesses Reportedly “Down Thousands Of Euro” Due To Public Realm Works
Q: Would you like to see the contractors work more days each week to finish the project sooner?
Yes, there should have been a plan for more continuous work, including possible weekend work, to limit disruption and finish areas before moving on, and there should be penalties if the contractor falls behind.
History In Focus - Famine Relief Schemes And Black '47
Q: How did the transition from workhouses to direct soup distribution unfold in Clare, and what were the social effects of that change?
Workhouses were expanded but inadequate for the vast number of starving people, so the state moved to direct soup distribution, requiring massive provisioning, cooking infrastructure, and security for stored corn. This shift alleviated some hunger but also sparked resentment and social tension, including riots at soup kitchens and the enduring stigma and trauma associated with workhouses—an upheaval that reshaped community life in Clare for years to come.
History In Focus - Famine Relief Schemes And Black '47
Q: Colm, given the two failed harvests and the brutal winter, what initial measures did the British government implement and why did they fail to sustain relief?
Initial measures focused on work-for-food schemes and public works, but rising food prices, exhausting labor demand under starvation, and questionable project merit caused those programs to crumble. The government then borrowed funds to expand relief, but the scale was still not enough and proved financially unsustainable, leading to a shift toward direct food distribution through soup kitchens.
