The Clare Champion broke new ground with our 2014 Local and European elections coverage.
With regular updates on our websites from our team of reporters, Nicola Corless, Carol Byrne, Dan Danaher, Peter O’Connell and Owen Ryan, and photographer, John Kelly, there was a huge following over the two-day count at Treacys’ West County Hotel in Ennis.
There was also big engagement via Facebook and twitter. Up to Wednesday evening, our website election coverage had more than 48,000 hits.
Of course, this week’s Clare Champion has comprehensive election coverage, in particular a debate with former TDs Tony Killeen, Donal Carey and Moosajee Bhamjee, as well as analysts, Mike Torpey and Kevin Halpin.
A native of Ennis, Colin McGann has been editor of The Clare Champion since August 2020. Former editor of The Clare People, he is a journalism and communications graduate of Dublin Institute of Technology.
