There are suggestions that the "silent killer" otherwise known as poor air quality isn't being addressed in County Clare.
It's being claimed that Ennis in particular, has a problem with smog.
This week's meetings of Clare County Council and Ennis Municipal District have heard calls for additional measures to be taken to tackle substandard air quality in the Banner County.
Figures provided by Ennis Municipal District show that the allowed limit of particulate matter was breached seven times in the county town last year, which was down 36% from 2023.
Despite this, Clarecastle Fianna Fáil Councillor Tom O'Callaghan and Ennis Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard believe Clare needs to clean up its act when it comes to air quality.
Clare FM's Seán Lyons has caught up with them to find out why.
