Tuesday’s Morning Focus had everything from local controversy in Ennis to live music in studio.
Among Gavin’s guests was talented singer-songwriter Ivan Nicolas from Dublin. He chatted about his current projects and performed some of his work, including his new single, ‘Sicily’.
The show opened with a discussion with Green Cllr Roisín Garvey who told Gavin why she’s disappointed with the limitations of plans unveiled by Minister Richard Bruton to roll-out more charging points for electric vehicles (EVs) under the direction of local authorities.
After that Junior Minister Seán Canney joined Gavin to explain why he’s adamant the procurement process for the National Broadband Plan should not be re-opened.
Then, Morning Focus producer Fiona McGarry reported on controversy surrounding cycle lanes and traffic calming between the Kilrush Road in Ennis and the roundabout at St Flannan’s College. Among the local residents she spoke to was former Mayor of Clare, Tommy Brennan.
