THE CLARE Echo speaks to Joe Whelan in the newest episode of the Business Chamber Podcast. 

The latest episode of the Business Chamber Podcast, in partnership with Ennis Chamber of Commerce, is out today.

Host Joe Melody is joined by Joe Whelan, owner of Whelan’s Garage, located in Ennis, Kilrush and Loughrea. Only a year ago, the Whelan family opened a Ferguson Museum in Kilrush, containing more than a dozen restored vintage tractors. The museum on the Cooraclare Rd sits adjacent to the Museum of Rural Life, filled with historical Irish artefacts carefully selected by Joe.

Episode 5 is available now and is embedded in this story and is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. A video podcast is embedded here and available on The Clare Echo YouTube channel.
