ANTRIM

Last week the Belfast Telegraph launches a major offensive to tackle the filth that is blighting our province. The Big Clean-Up is being launched after shocking figures revealed that £30m a year is spent on clearing up rubbish that has been carelessly discarded by members of the public — the equivalent of employing 1,400 additional nurses.

CARLOW

If you are a betting person, we may (or may not) have a money making scheme for you. Carlow’s very own starlet, Saoirse Ronan, is being hotly tipped for an Oscar. Surely not meaning to put any undue pressure on a teenage girl not yet 16, Paddy Power is taking bets that Saoirse will win an Oscar for her role in The Lovely Bones. The 15-year-old actress is 11/8 to get the nod for her role as Susie Salmon in the 2009 film adaptation of the book, and just 8/1 to make Oscar history and become the youngest best actress Oscar winner ever.

CAVAN

Cavan lobby group has welcomed a move by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue a review of the license granted to Oxigen reducing the amount of biodegradable waste that it can accept at the Corranure landfill on the outskirts of Cavan town. Cian Murtagh, the chairman of the Cavan Better Waste Management group said that residents in the vicinity of Corranure had endured "the worst weekend ever" last weekend with the stench from the landfill.

CLARE

Callan Technology is the winner of the 2010 National Enterprise Award. The awards are organized by the County and City Enterprise Boards and recognize “outstanding” micro-enterprises. Established by Joe O’Donovan and Paul O’Beirne in 2001 and nominated by the Clare County Enterprise Board, Callan Technology manufactures a range of servo- motors used in machinery in 26 countries across the US, Asia and Europe

Good point 'sanfrancelt' and it deserves an answer. I remember being in Belfast a few years ago and the BBC doing the weather on TV . They show the six counties on their weather map and nothing else. The rest of the country doesn't exist. How bigoted is that.
