Clare Students Prepare For WorldSkills Ireland 2026

Clare competitors are preparing to represent the county on the national stage at WorldSkills Ireland 2026, taking place in Dublin next month. Niall McMahon from Ennis will compete in Cabinet Making, while Lucas Maier from Tulla will compete in Cooking. To hear more about how they got into their respective skills, what it takes to compete at this level, and what they hope to gain from the experience, Alan Morrissey spoke to both competitors on Tuesday’s Morning Focus.
