    Daniel Cronin In Conversation With.... Seven Springs Daycentre with Ciaran Cannon TD, Sean Canney TD & Geraldine Donohue CC.

    The Seven Springs Daycentre has been closed since March of 2020 with the onslaught of Covid. The Daycentre was a place where people from the surrounding areas could come together chat, listen to music, get their hair done, get checked medically, see a chiropodist etc. But in talking with users, the abiding positive of the Daycentre was getting out from home and getting to socialize with other people. Following a protest attended by past users, their friends, family members and local representatives Geraldine Donohue and Declan Kelly the Daycentre was opened one day a week for a reduced number of users. There is huge disappointment that the service has not opened fully. Today I talk to Ciaran Cannon TD, Sean Canney TD and Geraldine Donohue county councilor to see where we are.

    Daniel Cronin In Conversation with... Loughrea Skateboarding and Loughrea Rugby Club

    This week I go out to Loughrea Skateboarding Park and chat with Jake McNally and Jordan Muldoon on the reopening of the park after two years. Also I have Paddy Sweeney and Geraldine McNally from the Rugby Club, they’re installing lights and hope to be ready in a month or two, they got some funding but to get over the line they are giving people the opportunity to get their ‘Names in Lights’.

    Daniel Cronin In Conversation with... Thelma Sweeney

    Thelma Sweeney dropped into the studio this week. Thelma grew up on Westbridge, her father was Dermot Sweeney, travel agent and her mother 'Sis' was the local midwife who assisted over 3000 local home births. Growing up in a Travel Agency it was no surprise that Thelma decided to travel, at first to England, then Europe before finally Australia where she met and married Chris.  Thelma talks of School and University days, hitch-hiking about Europe, teaching in the Aran Islands, taking the slow boat to Australia and starting her teaching career in Australia. Thelma comes home as often as she can, usually once a year but with Covid restrictions, this is her first visit in a number of years.  Thank you Chris and Thelma for coming in.

    Daniel Cronin In Conversation With.. Cllr Geraldine Donoghue and Thomas Ryan

    With a heavy heart we have an update on the Daycentre, this was to be opened, at long last, but just recently, Cllr Geraldine Donoghue has had some correspondence stating that it will not be opening anytime soon and for just 1 day a week! This is terrible news for all the service users and carers in the community, Cllr Donoghue and users are now planning direct action in the hope of highlighting this ridiculous situation.  Also I had Thomas Ryan on, Maw is involved with Mr. Motivator himself Gary Kilcar, in setting up Jumpers for Goalposts in Loughrea, a wonderful initiative and if any of Gary's past endeavours are to go by, this will be a success as well. I can't wait to get down myself.

    Daniel Cronin In Conversation with.. Steve Dolan-GRD & Kerri Gardiner-Bloom

    In the studio this week was Steve Dolan, head of GRD, telling us of the fight to better utilize the RSS and Tus projects. Because of the existing narrow parameters of both schemes, rural communities are being disadvantaged hugely, Steve and his cohorts have instigated a campaign to highlight these. These schemes are both beneficial to the communities and participants, a win-win situation for all. The government must take action. Then we have Kerrie Gardiner, who is instrumental in the running of Bord Bia’s Bloom in the Phoenix Park. Kerrie brings us through her duties and responsibilities and the festival’s attractions. This is Bloom’s first year back and it’s incredibly busy, I can’t wait to get to this. Also we have Michael Fahy’s upcoming Book launch in the Loughrea Hotel and Spa this Friday 10th of June at 7.30pm, all are welcome. Michael has written a book on his uncle Frank Fahy Revolutionary and Public Servant. Finally we give a shout to the Predator Triathlon Club, who are launching their race, Loughrea Triathlon, to be held at the end of the summer.
