Construction delay puts job creation in slow lane

THE CREATION of hundreds of jobs in the north Clare and south Galway area have been put on hold following the news that construction work on the € 300 million Gort to Tuam motorway is to be delayed.

Work on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) was due to commence earlier this month but the National Roads Authority (NRA) have confirmed this the project has experienced difficulties due to problems obtaining funding from supporting banks.

This is the second delay which has struck the motorway, which will be used by hundreds of Clare commuters each day when completed, following a four month delay in signing contracts with the projects main contractors, the the BAM/Balfour Beatty Consortium, last September.

This delay in signing the contracts caused the construction start-time for the motorway to be put back from November of 2010 to January of 2011.

In October of 2010 a spokesperson from the NRA confirmed to the Clare People that “despite rumours to the contrary” construction work on the motorway would begin in early 2011. Despite these reassurances NRA spokesperson, Sean O’Neill, confirmed over the weekend that construction work would be delayed on the project. Mr O’Neill also said that the NRA was still committed to the 57-kilometre project and hoped that that matter would be resolved soon.

“This delay has arisen due to concerns on the part of the funding banks relating to the sovereign debt situation in Ireland, and these concerns have impacted on the timing of progressing to financial close,” he said.

It had been expected that work on the project, which would complete the Ennis to Galway motorway, will be completed by 2014 however, it is not clear when construction work on the motorway will now be able to begin.

The delay comes as a blow to the business community in north Clare and south Galway with a number of local companies expected to act as suppliers and sub contractors to the main development team.

It is also expected that the influx of workers would give a boost to the local economy.

Once completed the motorway will connect the Gort/Crusheen bypass to the M6 motorway east of Oranmore – bypassing Ardrahan, Kilcolgan and Clarinbridge. It is expected to reduce the commute time between Ennis and Galway by 15 minutes.

Consider yourself one of us

THERE’S a line of traffic up College Road towards the imposing old convent building that stands sentinel over what could be described as the leafy Ennis suburb just after you cross the Rhine into the Lifford are of Ennis.

Erasmus House dates from the 1770s and was originally a private residence before became a convent, but more recently housed both Maoin Cheoil and Chláir and the Ennis Language School.

In their own way both the Maoin Cheoil and language school hit at the source of all the activity. There’s both music and language, albeit it’s more England than Ennis, cockney not Clare.

Adults and children alike snake around the back of the building to a small church hall that’s hidden away. And, in a way it’s appropriate that this is the new rehearsal venue for the society – an old religious house for the society that came to Ennis thanks to the oldest established residents in Ennis, the Franciscans.

It was in 1953 that the society, then called the ‘Friary Choral’ under the direction of Fr Eunan had its maiden voyage with ‘The Country Girl’ in the New Hall on Station Road.

It was six more years before the society set sail again with the production of ‘Wild Violets’, but since then the Ennis Musical Society has become one of the staples of the performing arts in Ennis and wider Clare.

And the last 50-plus years reads like an eclectic what’s what of the genre – ‘Calamity Jane’, ‘My Fair Lady’, ‘La Belle Helene’, ‘Orpheus in the Underworld’, ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and many more.

This year it’s ‘Oliver’. Bill Sikes stomps on stage; the Dodger dances; Fagin figures his next move; Oliver sits at the workhouse table, takes his deepest breath and plucks up the courage from somewhere to say he wants more.

Anyone who saw Carol Reed’s film starring Ron Moody, Oliver Reed and Mark Lester – we all did as a rite of passage – knows the lines by heart, simply by opening the trapdoor of the mind.

‘Oliver, Oliver, never before has a boy wanted more…..’

Yes, Charles Dickens’ victorian classic has always been a winner with the crowds – makes it long over due another ride on the Ennis Musical Society’s carousel. “Oliver never loses its appeal,” says society chairman Jonathon Hopper, “and it’s great to put it on again,” he adds trawling through the online archives to when it was last brought to an Ennis stage.

It was 1990 when the Ennis Musical Society contended for the industry’s Oscars – the Association of Irish Musical Societies awards – when Cecil McDonagh was runner-up in the Best Actor category and Padraig O’Reilly was runner-up in the Supporting Actor role.

“This year we decided we wanted to have something that had children involved,” said musical society chairperson Jonathon Hopper. “The kids loved being involved in shows and ‘Oliver’ is just one of the classic shows that’s brilliant for children. The response we got was absolutely brilliant. We had 80 children audition. Beforehand we were slightly worried whether we’d have enough children turn up. We needed 20 but got 80. People want to see ‘Oliver’ and the kids want to be involved with it. It’s as popular as ever.”

The work on the 2011 production is almost done with now. The sets are built, costumes made, rehearsals ramped up in frequency over the last while as everyone involved close in on showtime in Glór from March 8 to 12.

“It’s a big undertaking every year,” says Hopper, “but a big budget needed to bring everything together, so there’s fundraising involved, people helping out with the sets and the background stuff. There are a lot of people involved and I’d say that the musical society is a family.

“I’m Australian and I decided to come to do the Europe thing for a year and I came to Ireland. I’ve been five years. I was around town, wondering what I’d get involved in and I had the idea ‘what about getting involved in musicals’.

“I had done some in high school. I was working in Shannon at the time and a friend was telling me he was involved in a musical and I said to myself ‘I can do that’. I just turned up and got involved and have been involved ever since.

“It has had a huge impact on myself. I would say that almost everyone I know in Ennis is someone I know through the musical society. To be honest it’s one of the reasons why I ended up staying in the country. It’s a huge part of my life.”

The society itself has been a huge part of Ennis life for countless generations of performers.

Expected Glór to be play to full houses between March 8 and 12.

Mullagh drama group set to wake up the west

MULLAGH Entire Drama Group is celebrating a decade of bringing fun, thought and entertainment to the people of west Clare.

The amateur dramatic society is marking its 10th anniversary by entering its latest play in competition for the very first time, when it takes part in the Doonbeg Drama Festival early next month.

The group will perform ‘A Wake in the West’ written by playwright Michael Joe Ginnelly.

Set in the 1960s in a rural village in the west of Ireland the play explores drink, relationships, the role of the clergy and poverty.

“It is a comedy with a twist,” explained actor Anthony Morrissey.

And while the group will be entering a competition for the first time, the area has a long tradition of drama and plays.

The people of Mullagh took to the stage long before this relatively new group was formed by the ICA a decade ago. Back then the first play was written and directed by Eilis Merriman. The drama group has expanded and developed since then, and now boasts up to 25 members.

“The goal has been to bring a play to Doonbeg and take the group to the next level,” said Mr Morrissey.

Those wishing for a sneak preview of the play before it enters it first competition can see it in Mullagh Hall on Friday next, February 25, or Sunday February 27. The play will also take to the stage in Mullagh on March 20. Doors will open at 7.30pm with curtin at 8.30pm.

FG face off in poster row

THE war of the posters in Clare continued this week and this time within Fine Gael.

A directive was issued on February 11 from National Fine Gael director of elections Phil Hogan TD stating that canvassing in the Shannon Electoral area was to be left solely to local candidate and mayor of Shannon Cllr Tony Mulcahy.

However supporters of the mayor claim that his colleague Deputy Pat Breen (FG) continued to erect posters in the area well after the directive was given.

They pointed to a large poster declaring Deputy Breen’s support for the airport which they say was placed over a poster of the three Fine Gael Candidates in Clare – Deputy Breen, Deputy Joe Carey and Cllr Mulcahy. It also showed no preferences for the other candidates.

Speaking last night Deputy Breen said he took all of his posters out of the area after the directive was issued, and moved them to Ennis and the surrounding areas.

“We were told not to go into Shannon and I won’t go into Shannon,” he said.

Cllr Mulcahy said he was extremely disappointed by the issue.

“It wouldn’t be the Fine Gael way and it wouldn’t be my way. My reputation has always been as a team player within the party.”

When asked by The Clare People if he was canvassing the Shannon Electoral Area, Deputy Joe Carey (FG) said he did not want to comment.

In the 2007 General Elections Fine Gael returned two candidates in Clare having run four candidates.

The breakdown of the vote in the Shannon Electoral Area, which includes Kilkishen, Sixmilebridge and Meelick as well as Shannon town, saw Cllr Mulcahy taking the majority of the vote when the town of Shannon was included.

Eliminating the town however saw a vote of more than 700 for Deputy Breen, just under 600 for Deputy Carey, more than 400 for Cllr Mulcahy and 200 for fellow candidate Madeleine Taylor Quinn.

Posters have also proved problematic for two of Clare’s Independent candidates who were forced to take them back down from polls and lampposts around the county last month under the threat of a litter fine.

Both James Breen and Jim Connolly were told at the time that they were in breech of the litter act, as the election had not been officially called.

Last week Fianna Fáil candidates Timmy Dooley TD and Dr John Hillery reported to Gardaí that more than a thousand of their posters had been removed.

Ecotourism a boost for Burren

THE Burren will be officially named as Ireland’s second ever ecotourism destination at a ceremony in Ballyvaughan next month.

This designation is the culmination of more then two years of work by the Burren Ecotourism Network – a host of local businesses and organisations in the area.

Ecotourism involved a move away from traditional mass-tourism and towards providing visitors with a more individual, more person tourist experience in Clare.

The classification of the Burren as an official ecotourism destination could become a major long-term driver for the local tourism industry. It is predicted that the ecotourism movement will become one of the primary drivers if tourism in Ireland in the coming years.

The Burren Ecotourism Network hope that this brand of tourism will encourage visitors to stay for longer in the county, spend more money in the area and cause less impact on the environmental and social make-up of the Burren.

Co-ordinated by the Burren Connect Project in Ennistymon, the network has seen a wide variety of north Clarebased businesses coming together for a series of mentoring days, local cleanups and education events designed to improve the tourism product offered in the Burren region. The group has been working to gain accreditation from Ecotourism Ireland and in piloting Ireland’s first ecotourism certification programme. A number of local businesses are due to receive their own individual accreditation from Ecotourism Ireland this month.

“The network is offering visitors opportunities to engage with the protected landscape of the Burren in a manner which is sustainable both in terms of the environment as well as the community,” said Edel Hayes of the Burren Connect Project.

“Accommodation, food, farming, outdoor activities, culture and heritage are all part of the network, which has woven together all the elements that make the area attractive to visitors looking for authentic tourism experiences. Tourism businesses involved in the network are committed to local produce, conservation and the community, as well as to continuing high standards in sustainability.”

The Burren Ecotourism Network elected its first committee last year with Joanna McInerney of the Burren Outdoor Education Centre elected as chairperson; Marie Neylon of Corofin Camping and Hostel elected as secretary and Orla Vaughan of Kilfenora Hostel and Chris O’Neill of Burren Painting Centre elected as joint treasurers. The network will be officially launched at Gregans Castle Hotel in Ballyvaughan on March 3.

Kilrush scrap to earn a point

St Joseph’s Miltown 1-9 Kilrush Shamrocks 1-9 at Hennessy Memorial Park, Miltown Malbay

A BATTLE of the champions on Sunday as Cusack Cup holders St Joseph’s Miltown hosted Garry Cup champions Kilrush Shamrocks and in the end, both had to be content with a share of the spoils after a late Kilrush goal completed a spirited fightback.

Defending champions Miltown ended last season on a high in the torrential downpour in Kilmihil and there were similarly difficult weather conditions for the start of the new season as both somewhat experimental sides took to the field.

It was the home side who held the whip hand throughout, moving 1-4 to 0-1 clear by the 20th minute, with the goal coming from Seanie Malone at the end of the first quarter.

However, Kilrush finally got to grips with the tie and by half-time had cut the deficit to three at 1-5 to 05, with Ruairi O’Connor and Peadar McMahon to the fore.

A full recovery looked more remote though when Con O’Brien received a second yellow only two minutes af- ter the restart but credit Kilrush for not throwing in the towel and indeed levelling matters at 1-6 to 0-9.

It jolted Miltown into life once more and points from Joe and Eoin Curtin apeared to have finally shaken off their stubborn opponents but Kilrush would have the last say when substitute Jamie Gilligan scrambled in an injury-time goal to level the tie for the final time.

Baker remains positive in defeat

THERE WAS no Jedward in Casement Park on Sunday, not much of a crowd either, with the clash of the Celtic v Rangers game clearly taking from the home support as could be seen from the large parade of Celtic jerseys on view outside the grounds beforehand. But there were several television cameras that not only captured the action but also interviewed the home management at length on their latest hard luck story.

Antrim selector Ollie Baker may be new to the management team but he was inevitably at the centre of attention for this game with his obvious links for both sides and after completing his television duties, he was sufficiently warmed up to field questions regarding both his hats.

First to Antrim.

“Possibly we could have won. With two or three minutes to go, the game was in the melting pot and we had two or three chances but didn’t take them. They are a young team so they need to learn from that and they are fierce disappointed in the dressing room. We just need to learn from that and move on but in saying that, we were seven points down at half-time and came out with a tremendous effort in the second half. They really had to work hard to get back into the game but did that and maybe just came up a little short in the end.

“Maybe Clare had a bit more composure at vital times in the game but for every score that they got in the second half, we responded very well, came back and we were picking our scores from play and making more chances. So we can take an awful lot of positives out of the game as well which is huge as it is only the second game of the league and as I’ve said, they are a very young team.

And having been part of the previous Clare management under Mike McNamara as well as former AllIreland winning team-mates of the current Clare set-up members, Ger O’Loughlin and Liam Doyle, the St Joseph’s Doora/Barefield clubman is obviously better positioned than most to offer up his opinion on Clare as well.

“Again I suppose, they were on a hiding to nothing after their performance last week and the criticism that was levelled at them last week but I knew that they’re not that bad. They came up here today and I think the important thing for them was that after 20 minutes, they had 2-5 or 26 up on the board which was huge thing for them and they were able to sit on that lead when we had the wind in the second half. They hurled well and again it’s early season for them as well but it was important that they got their win and it’s just disappointing that it had to come at Antrim’s expense.

“The experience that they had gained in the All-Ireland Under 21’s and also that they are playing below in the Munster championship every year, it’s just amazing how much that is an advantage for a team to hurl at that level of intensity and that in turn brings a level of intensity back into training as well.

“Again they are on the right road and Sparrow is doing a good job with them as well and he is taking the chance to go with the young lads and that’s the future. They will be the future of Clare hurling and that’s the way you have to go.”

O’Loughlin is relieved but in no way satisfied

CLARE MANAGER Ger O’Loughlin hit every ball on the sidelines on Sunday, an clear sign of the pressure piled upon his shoulders in particular, after the flooring disappointment of the Limerick performance and the increasing closeness of this tie as well.

However, Clare’s fortune to have survived this tricky test despite letting slip an 11 point lead, playing into the breeze with only 14 men for almost the final 20 minutes and enduring some dodgy decisions from the Ulster officials, was not lost upon the Sparrow who appeared much more relaxed when exiting the dressing room afterwards. Relaxed and relieved but still not wholly satisfied with the display.

“It was one that was badly wanted. If we had come away today without the victory, the shop was closed so I’m delighted now that we got the win but a lot of the time we looked like a second division team again today and we have an awful lot of work to do.

“We have a huge amount of work to do to try and improve but I’m delighted that we got the win and it might just get us shaped up again for the rest of the campaign. They showed great heart I thought but basic elementary mistakes are costing us big time.

“They had a big physical presence I thought there today and notwithstanding they were missing five or six of the guys that played yesterday in the club semi-finals so we’re lucky to get out of it with the points and I am realistic to know that we have a huge mountain to climb but at least it might take a bit of pressure off everybody after last week.

“There were plenty of snipers out there for us so at least we are back on par and we just hope that we can improve on what we saw again today. We showed heart but our touch and everything leaves a lot to be desired.

“Our problem in Clare is that during the week we don’t have somewhere to really train and we are reliant on clubs to get pitches and with the weather the way it has been, our actual training sessions have been confined to Lee’s Road more or less which is showing out in the games we have played really. So hopefully with the stretch in the evenings, we will be able to get a bit more hurling in over the next couple of weeks but we badly need it. I’m not under any illusions that that performance today will do either.”

So after the nadir of the Limerick, how did he pick his troops off the canvas and prepare them for the trip to Belfast?

“Well I think being truthful about it, When we regrouped and we chatted it out on Wednesday night, we knew were a bit better than what we showed against Limerick anyway because we were an embarrassment in Cusack Park last week.

“Also it didn’t reflect on the work we had done because we had prepared very well in the winter programme. We had done an awful lot of gym work and then fitness work in January and we had played eight matches so it was the last thing I was expecting. But I just thought that we threw in the towel too early last week.

“When we didn’t get the early scores, they got scores out of some of the play that we had in our forward line.

“When we didn’t put our chances away, the ball came down and they got the penalty from a mistake and we have watched the video a couple of times and again you couldn’t imagine how poor we were with basic stuff.

“Again it showed out there today. When we were in a comfort zone and we could have moved on and pushed it on, we made life difficult by conceding soft scores.”

However, in the end, the result was all that really mattered and O’Loughlin was happy to have overcame this perilous test and look forward to the rest of the campaign.

“That result might get a bit of confidence back in the team. We had to grind out the win there today and with three or four minutes to go, I might have had a different speech for ye and I’m glad I didn’t have to use it. But look, we’ll take it and we are delighted with the win.”

Kilmurry reel in men from The Parish

St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield 0-06 Kilmurry Ibrickane 0-6 at Gurteen

ON the corresponding Sunday, 12 months ago Kilmurry Ibrickane produced one of their greatest ever displays when taking the scalp of Portlaoise to advance to the All-Ireland Club final on St Patrick’s Day.

Gurteen was a long way from that All-Ireland semi-final, with no commanding performance from the green and red machine, but still they had enough to take a share of the spoils against a St Joseph’s team making their maiden voyage in Cusack Cup competition.

For long periods it looked as if ‘The Parish’ were on course for a winning start in the top grade of league football – they led at half-time by 0-4 to 0-1 and were armed with a four-point lead entering the final 15 minutes, but they were eventually reeled in thanks to the accuracy of Ian McInerney from frees.

St Joseph’s played with the aid of a strong breeze in the first half, but shipped the first score to Kilmurry’s county minor from last year, Niall Hickey, who sniped away from his marker to fist over a smart point after only three minutes.

It took a while before St Joseph’s settled into proceedings against a Kilmurry side shy a host of regulars such as Shane Hickey, Declan Callinan, Noel Downes and Michael Hogan. However, Enda Lyons had them level from a free inside ten minutes, while a David O’Brien free after 16 minutes gave them a lead they didn’t surrender until Ian McInerney’s equalising point in the final minute.

Further points from the impressive Lyons by the 27th minute ensured that St Joseph’s were armed with a three-point interval lead and from there it looked as if they would kick onto victory after weathering Kilmurry’s early advances in the second half.

Johnnie Daly landed an early free for Kilmurry, but another Lyons point from play after a mistake in the opposition defence and David O’Brien’s second of the day put them in con- trol. However, from there Kilmurry roused themselves and a pointed free from Johnnie Daly 12 minutes from time kick-started their revival.

Then it was time for the Ian McInerney show. A foul on Enda Coughlan yielded a free for his first point. Then he landed a 45 in the 55th minute before another foul on Coughlan with two minutes remaining gave McInerney the task of restoring parity.

Goal is crucial in Clondegad victory

Clondegad 1-8 Liscannor 0-7 at Páirc Micheál Ó hEithir, Ballynacally

CLONDEGAD got off to a rocky start in this season opener on their home patch, but gradually found their feet by half-time thanks to the tonic of a lead goal before the break, which enabled them to kick on to a deserved four-point success on the turnover.

In this clash of the two defeated finalists from last year’s intermediate and senior championship finals, it was intermediate standard-bearers Clondegad who got one-up on their senior opponents.

They trailed early on to two Alan Clohessy frees, while further points from Dara Blake and Clohessy after Kenneth Kelly got Clondegad off the mark in the eighth minute left the north Claremen 0-4 to 0-1 after 15 minutes.

However, the growing influence of Garry Brennan around midfield changed the game utterly. On 18 minutes he cut the deficit to apoint with a well taken free Clondegad added another with their next possession when Paudge McMahon opened his account after a well-worked move.

Another Brennan point left the sides level after 20 minutes before Liscannor hit back with two more points from Alan Clohessy frees. Gary Brennan cut the deficit to a point by the 27th minute but Liscannor looked set for the interval lead of of 0-6 to 0-5 until a long ball by Eoin Griffin to Shane Brennan on the edge of the square was punched into his own net by the Liscannor goalkeeper Noel Kilmartin.

On the turnover Clondegad’s midfield dominance saw them take a stranglehold and keep the scoreboard ticking over.

They notched points from Eoghan Donnellan and two well taken points from Podge McMahon along with along range point on the run from Gary Brennan. Liscannor only response was a long range point from Johnny Considine.
