A North Clare climate activist is renewing calls for greater access to public transport and car sharing initiatives to accommodate Ukrainian refugees in the area.

The town of Lisdoonvarna has seen its population double to around 1,600 since the crisis began.

Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has signed an order this week that will allow Ukrainians to drive their cars in Ireland if they exchange their Ukrainian licence for an Irish one.

Theresa O Donohoe, who’s an environmental activist based in the town, believes the move isn’t necessarily a positive one.
