Four Walls And A Pint: Ennis Publican John Whyte Shares Stories From 30 Years Behind The Bar
The Irish pub has always been about much more than just a pint. It’s a place where friendships are made, stories are shared, characters become legends and memories are created. And capturing that unique part of Irish life is the inspiration behind a newly published book, Four Walls and a Pint, by Ennis publican John Whyte. Having spent more than 30 years in the Irish pub trade, including many memorable years running the famous El Paso Bar in Ennis, John has gathered together a collection of true stories filled with colourful characters, hilarious incidents and unforgettable nights, many of them rooted right here in Ennis. The book also reflects on how the Irish pub has changed over the years and the important role it continues to play in communities. To find out more, author & publican John Whyte joined Derrick Lynch in-studio. Image (c) John Whyte 'Four Walls And A Pint"

Are We Heading For Another Year Of Heatwaves In 2027?
With 2026 on track to become the second-warmest year on record, and global temperatures continuing to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, questions are being raised about what the climate has in store for 2027. Following another year of unusually warm weather and hot spells, are we likely to see more heatwaves, and what impact could this have on Ireland? A recent Copernicus Climate Change report has highlighted the continuing rise in global temperatures, while a separate report suggests the Government is failing to deliver on 60% of its own climate commitments, including key targets for reducing emissions by 2030. Joining Derrick Lynch on Morning Focus were Seán Lally, Chair of the Clare Tourism Advisory Forum, who reflected on whether last year's hot spells had made a difference to tourism in the county, and Professor John Sweeney, leading climate expert at Maynooth University.

Friends Of Ennis Hospital Questions Government's Commitment To New Mid-West Hospital
The future of acute hospital services in the Mid-West is once again under the spotlight, with Friends of Ennis Hospital raising serious concerns over the Government's plans for the €14 million site purchased at Raheen for a new hospital campus. More than 20 years of reports, investigations and warnings have highlighted the pressures facing University Hospital Limerick, including overcrowding, insufficient bed capacity and ongoing patient safety concerns. However, Friends of Ennis Hospital says that despite the significant investment in the Raheen site, there is still no explicit guarantee that a new acute hospital will be built, no commitment to additional acute inpatient beds and no clear construction timeline. The group is now calling on the Minister for Health to provide clarity and confirm whether a new acute hospital will actually be delivered for the people of Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary. For more on this, Derrick Lynch was joined by the Chairperson of Friends of Ennis Hospital, Angela Coll. Photo (c) Science Photo Library via Canva.com
