Nationwide in Clarecastle
THE village of Clarecastle will feature in this Monday’s episode of the popular RTÉ show Nationwide.

Lead-based ammunition is the single largest source of lead knowingly discharged into our environment, environmental health researchers agree.
In Maine, our wildlife and waterways are at risk. Ingestion of lead fragments from spent ammunition poisons and causes the suffering of countless wildlife species, who ingest spent lead shot by foraging the ground and feeding on lead-tainted remains of animals left behind in the woods.
