Featuring on The Afternoon Show today was Brian O’Neill of the Rowan Tree Café Bar and Chairman of promote Ennis, Joe Queally from the RNLI and Trea Heapes from Pure Camping in Querrin on Loop Head. All three joined Gavin Grace in studio this afternoon as part of our Friday Panel. Up for discussion today was the government’s two year anniversary. The panel talked about what they would like to see from them in the next 12 months and what changes or improvements we need here in Co. Clare. They focussed on tourism potential in Loop Head and the Burren as well as extending the attraction for tourists to all year round rather than just Spring and Summer. They also talked about rural Ireland and how it is faring in terms of employment, international women’s day, mother’s day and Seachtain na Gaeilge 2013.
