Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an naoú lá déag de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh. Tá sé ráite ag an Leifteanantchoirnéal Tom Fox, atá i gceannas ar choimeádaithe síochána na hÉireann i ndeisceart na Liobáine, go bhfuil na trúpaí slán sábháilte, in ainneoin coinníollacha an-dúshlánach agus teannas ag ardú sa Mheánoirthear. Tá níos mó ná 300 saighdiúir Éireannach lonnaithe in Camp Shamrock sa Liobáin Theas agus gar don teorainn idir Iosrael agus an Liobáin. Cé gur gortaíodh cúigear coimeádaithe síochána ó na Náisiúin Aontaithe le cúpla lá anuas, níl aon phlean ann faoi láthair chun na trúpaí a tharraingt siar. Tá rabhadh tugtha ag Príomhaire Iosrael, Benjamin Netanyahu, go bhfuil coimeádaithe síochána i mbaol mura mbogann siad ó dheisceart na Liobáine, comhartha go leanfar leis na hionsaithe in ainneoin agóidí an phobail idirnáisiúnta. Ar ais in Éirinn, agus ráflaí ag dul thart go mbeidh olltoghchán ar siúl go luath, tá Sinn Féin ag déileáil le roinnt géarchéimeanna atá ag bagairt dochar a dhéanamh dá bhfeachtas. Tá sé tagtha chun solais gur thug beirt bhall den pháirtí teistiméireacht d'iaroifigeach preasa an pháirtí ainneoin gur admhaigh sé coireanna mí-úsáide gnéis. Chomh maith leis sin, tá beirt Teachtaí Dála tar éis éirí as, ar chúiseanna ar leith. I gcás amháin, rinne an Teachta Dála gearán faoin gcaoi ar láimhseáil an páirtí líomhain maidir le hiompar neamhoiriúnach. Tagann na scéalta seo ar shála na nuachta go ndearna oifigigh an pháirtí iarracht smacht a choinneáill ar na ceisteanna a fuair an ceannaire Mary-Lou McDonald ag Ard Fheis an pháirtí. Cúrsaí sacair anois, agus tar éis an triú babhta de chluichí Shraith na Náisiún, tá foireann na hÉireann sa tríú háit agus trí phointe acu, chun tosaigh ar an bhFionlainn, a chaill gach cluiche, ach taobh thiar den Ghréig, atá i gceannas ar ár ngrúpa le dhá phointe dhéag, agus Sasana sa dara háit le naoi bpointe. Sa chéad chluiche, bhí bua inspioráideach ag Éirinn in aghaidh na Fionlainne, a bhuí le cúil ón gcosantóir Liam Scales agus ón imreoir lár páirce Robbie Brady tar éis botún tubaisteach ón gcaptaen Nathan Collins a thug tús foirfe do na Fionlannaigh.  Sa dara cluiche, áfach, thug na Gréagaigh triail i bhfad níos deacra i láthair, agus léirigh bua compordach don fhoireann baile san Aithin méid an dúshláin atógála atá roimh bhainisteoir nua na hÉireann Heimir Hallgrímsson. Idir an dá linn, téann na Gréagaigh ó neart go neart. Sa bhabhta seo, bhuaigh siad in aghaidh ní amháin na hÉireann, ach Sasana in Wembley freisin, den chéad uair riamh, éacht thar a bheith suntasach tar éis bhás tragóideach a n-imreora George Baldock an tseachtain seo caite. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain. Tá script ar fáil i d'aip phodchraolta. * GLUAIS leifteanantchoirnéal - lieutenant-colonel coimeádaithe síochána - peacekeepers ráflaí - rumours iompar neamhoiriúnach - inappropriate behaviour cosantóir - defender méid an dúshláin atógála - the extent of the rebuilding challenge

WIN. This year's Sinn Féin Ard Fheis last weekend was full of enthusiasm and passion with great speeches covering every issue imaginable and the delegates voting through policy motions that will help shape Sinn Féin politics in the time ahead. The speeches, particularly from Michelle O'Neill and other national leaders demonstrated the strength and relevance of the party across our island. South Africa Supports Irish Unity.Irish Republicans have had a long and enduring relationship with the African National Congress. In 1995 I travelled to South Africa to meet its senior team of negotiators who successfully achieved an end to apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela as President. In the midst of the negotiations around the Good Friday Agreement some of those senior figures travelled to Ireland to hold public meetings and go into the prisons to talk about their experience of negotiations. That relationship has remained strong over the years thanks in part to the hard work of Declan Kearney, Sinn Fein Party Chairperson.Irish government must take a stand against IsraelLast week most of the governments of the world turned their back on Israel as Benjamin Netanyahu took to the rostrum at the 79th United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York. Netanyahu claimed that “no army has done what Israel is doing to minimise civilian casualties” and as he described the United Nations as an “anti-semitic swamp” and an “anti-Israel Flat Earth Society,” scores of UN delegates got up and walked out. Regrettably, the Irish government representatives stayed.

At Aontú's Ard Fheis over the weekend Peadar Toibin made calls for Ireland to have an ‘...international city in Ireland beyond the M50'. So, what would attract international companies to cities outside of Dublin ? Joining Jonathan to discuss is Economist and Co-Director of the Spatial and Regional Economics Research Centre at Cork University Business School, Dr Frank Crowley.

Fr. Alec ReidNext Wednesday – 22 November – will mark the tenth anniversary of the death of Father Alec Reid. It is a matter of wonderment that a decade has passed since he left us. Students of the Irish peace process will know that Alec was a central figure in our search for peace. He and Fr. Des Wilson were key to the beginning of that process. I won't deal in this column with all the twists and turns of those times or the stubborn refusal for decades of the establishments, British and Irish, to embrace dialogue. Fr Alec and Des helped to change that. And much more. This column reflects on some of Fr Alec's qualities.Making magic at the Ard FheisThere have been Sinn Féin Ard Fheiseanna that have had their special, magical moment that remains in the memory years – even decades - later. Last weekend's Ard Fheis in Athlone produced two such moments. The first came just before 1pm on Saturday. Matt Carthy TD - the party's spokesperson on Foreign Affairs - introduced the Palestinian Ambassador Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid.

L'IRA colpisce per la prima volta durante i Troubles l'establishment inglese. La Thatcher, salita da poco al potere, dichiarerà che la guerra contro l'IRA sarà la sua priorità da primo ministro. Gerry Adams intanto riorganizza il gruppo paramilitare e lo prepara alla cosiddetta lunga guerra. Lo sciopero della fame dei detenuti dell'IRA all'interno dei blocchi H sarà invece l'evento che cambierà per sempre la storia dei Troubles e sarà la causa di un'estenuante guerra di nervi tra la Thatcher e il gruppo repubblicano e il cui esito sarà drammatico. Intanto i Phillips vedranno l'arrivo di un nuovo membro in famiglia, Michael. Insieme a lui ripercorreremo i suoi primi ricordi da bambino tra le marce orangiste di Belfast e New Castle. Sarà proprio in quest'ultima località che verrà raggiunto da una notizia molto triste.

È il 1969 e in Irlanda del Nord scoppiano i “disordini”.A Belfast, gruppi lealisti di matrice protestante attaccano i quartieri cattolici provocando la fuga di migliaia di famiglie dalle loro case. Anche i Phillips, una famiglia cattolica di Belfast, assiste impotente al precipitare degli eventi. Cosa è più giusto fare… Fuggire o rimanere?La situazione intanto precipita anche a Derry, dove una marcia per i diritti civili si conclude in modo drammatico. Un evento che segnerà profondamente la vita di due sorelle cattoliche di nome Dolours e Marian Price.Produzione, post-produzione e sound design: Samuele Sciarrillo Supervisione storica: Riccardo Michelucci In questo episodio hanno partecipato: Michael Phillips, Irene Phillips (doppiaggio: Silvia Rossini) e Jacqueline Phillips (doppiaggio: Nadia Scarlato)Ispirato al LIBRO:"A Belfast boy.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2go5ouv4 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Ard-Feis Fine Gael up today. Ard-Fheis Fhine Gael ar bun inniu. Fine Gael members are meeting in Athlone today for the party's General Assembly. Tá baill Fhine Gael ag teacht le chéile i mBaile Átha Luain inniu d'Ard-Fheis an pháirtí. An Tánaiste Leo Varadkar will give the leader's speech at 18:30 this evening, a month before the exchange of offices with Fianna Fáil comes into effect, an exchange which will again be carried out by the Taoiseach. Tabharfaidh An Tánaiste Leo Varadkar óráid an cheannaire uaidh ar 18:30 tráthnóna, mí sula dtiocfaidh an malartú oifigí le Fianna Fáil i bhfeidhm, malartú a dhéanfaidh Taoiseach de an athuair. He will emphasize, he says, the success of the party's policies while in Government for ten years, as well as recommendations for tackling the challenges ahead. Cuirfidh sé béim, a deir sé, ar an rath ar bhí ar pholasaithe an pháirtí agus iad sa Rialtas le deich mbliana, chomh maith le moltaí faoi dhul i ngleic leis na dúshláin atá romhainn amach. The Ardfeise's motto is 'Leadership, Stability and Vision' and according to Leo Varadkar people can trust the party in times of need because of their experience in government. 'Ceannaireacht, Seasmhacht agus Fís' é mana na hArd-Fheise agus dar le Leo Varadkar gur féidir le daoine muinín a chur sa pháirtí in am an ghátair de bharr a dtaithí i mbun rialtais. One of the reasons Athlone was chosen, said Leo Varadkar, was to draw attention to the fact that the mid-country region has the lowest level of unemployment and that it has seen the largest increase in new jobs in a year. Ceann de na cúiseanna a roghnaíodh Baile Átha Luain, a dúirt Leo Varadkar, é aird a tharraingt ar an leibhéal is ísle dífhostaíochta bheith sa réigiún lár-tíre agus gur ann a chonacthas an t- ardú is mó ar phostanna nua le bliain. There are a number of resolutions to be presented to the delegates who are opposing the Government's policies. Tá roinnt rún le cur faoi bhráid na dtoscairí atá ag cur in aghaidh pholasaithe an Rialtais. One calls for an end to the levy on concrete blocks, while another calls for the reopening of the peat electricity generating stations at Shannon Bridge and Athleigh. Iarrann ceann amáin go gcuirfidh deireadh leis an tobhach ar bhlocanna concréide, agus iarrann ceann eile go ndéanfar na stáisiún ginte leictreachais móna ag Droichead na Sionainne agus Baile Átha Liag a athoscailt. This is the party's 81st Ard-Feis and the first live one since 2019 due to Covid-19 Seo hé an 81ú Ard-Fheis ag an bpáirtí agus an chéad cheann sa mbeo ó 2019 de bharr covid 19

Today the Fine Gael party is gathering in Athlone for its Ard Fheis, coming one month before Leo Varadkar will assume the role of Taoiseach on December 17th. To discuss this, the legacy of Vicky Phelan, the war in Ukraine, and more, Anton is joined by Minister for Further and Higher Education, and TD for Wicklow, Simon Harris.

Time to Extend Presidential Vote to North and Diaspora  Last week I wrote about the threat posed to our world by climate change. The international climate change conference - COP 27 – which commenced in Egypt on Sunday is viewed by many as the world's last real opportunity to reverse this threat. This year has been especially dangerous with a mixture of floods, droughts, huge storms and the threat of famine in East Africa.End the Cuban EmbargoThe economic and societal impact on the people of Cuba of the economic blockade by the USA is enormous. The blockade, which began in 1960, prevents essential economic and medical resources from reaching the people of that Caribbean island nation. It imposes billions in costs on the Cuban economy each year. A Good Day Out. It was good to be able to attend the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis in Dublin last Saturday. The Ard Fheis is the supreme authority in Sinn Féin. It is  the open democratic forum where policy is agreed, leaders elected and strategy and direction discussed. Members can attend and visitors but the democratic base of the Ard Fheis is the delegates elected and directed by local cumainn and other party structures  to speak and vote on motions  which have also been put forward by members.

Criostóir de Baróid Criostóir de Baróid died two weeks ago, surrounded by his family in Marymount Hospice in Cork where his wife Máire had died in February. About 20 people from Ballymurphy travelled to Cork by car and train to participate in Criostóir's funeral. They were there to pay their respects to a man, who in the 1970's along with his son Ciaran became a part of the extended Ballymurphy family.Theresa McArdleThe suddenness of Theresa McArdle's death last week was a shock to all of us who knew and loved her. After we heard the news of her death I tweeted: “Sweet, kind, pleasant, staunch Treasa. I went 2 the office 2day becos she texted me 2 remind me to sign Cónall's card. She left it below her notebook. I signed my name beside her's in wonderment and sorrow that she had died since then. Grma T.  U made the difference xo”Time for Change – Time for Unity:A united Ireland and change were the two big themes of the Ard Fheis and Mary Lou didn't mince her words. She said it loud and clear: “I want to lead as Taoiseach if you give us that chance … we can unite our country. To make this happen we need a government that shows-up for you. A government for the people and a Taoiseach that puts you and your family first - now and always. So, to those who told me – again and again – to make sure we run enough candidates at the next Dáil election.  I hear you loud and clear because – friends – the time for change is now.”

Plus Sinn Féin Ard Fheis in Derry

Fianna Fáil leader Michael Martin has declared he will be the Taoiseach after the next general election. In an exclusive interview with Independent.ie's Floating Voter podcast, Mr Martin insisted that despite trailing Fine Gael leader Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in the opinion polls he will be the country's next leader. Asked directly if he will be Taoiseach after the next election, he said: “Yes, that is the agenda, that is the objective.” “Obviously the people will decide but fundamentally that's where we want to be,” he added. Mr Martin said he has “no doubt” Fianna Fail will gain seats when the country goes to the poll and said he expects to make significant gains in Dublin where he is targeting five extra seats. “We will gain seats after the next general election of that I have no doubt and we will be in a position to lead the next government,” he said. He also said he expects to win three seats in the EU Parliament elections and weighed in behind Cork North Central TD Billy Kelleher who has put his name forward for the Ireland South constituency. Mr Kelleher and Mr Martin previously clashed over the TD's decision to put his name forward for the European elections. He also insisted he has not lost his authority within the party and dismissed claims there is a discipline problem in Fianna Fáil. “When I look at what's happening in Westminster I think we have a very coherent operation here,” he said. He said the “wise heads around the country” who support Fianna Fáil believe he made the correct the decision to renew the confidence and supply agreement with Fine Gael while Brexit negotiations were on-going. He said he had been predicted he would be confronted by an “angry grass roots” at the party's Ard Fheis in the City West Hotel in Dublin who would “really go for Martin because of confidence and supply”. “That was not the case,” Mr Martin said. “If you actually walked around City West, people were in good form, they got it,” he added.

Cormac was joined by Billy Kelleher, Fianna Fáil TD for Cork North–Central, Neale Richmond, Fine Gael Senator, Éilis Ryan, Workers Party councillor for Dublin North Inner City, Matt Carthy, Sinn Féin MEP for Midlands North West and Noel Whelan, Barrister and Irish Times columnist.

Sarah and Fiach join Hugh for a roundup of what has been happening in and around Leinster House this week, with preparations for the 2019 budget well underway. Will prudent Paschal Donohoe stick with his hitherto cautious mantra? Also, does Leo Varadkar’s tactic of standing back and letting his ministers do the talking impact on the public’s perception of him? And, there’s a bit of healthy disagreement in the ranks on a number of things, including the Taoiseach’s role in the recent referendum and gender balance in political debate.

Today's panel included Colm Brophy Fine Gael TD, Sean Fleming Fianna Fáil TD Chair of PAC, Prof Michael O’Keeffe Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Patricia MacBride Political commentator, Diarmuid Ferriter Professor of Modern Irish History at UCD, Louise O’Reilly Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Health & TD.

I also address the special tribute to Martin McGuinness that took place at Sinn Féin's Ard Fheis. Plus, I provide analysis on the concept of an United Ireland that Sinn Féin and Gerry Adams have been known to be strong advocates for.

Inside Politics returned to the RDS on Saturday for the final stop on our tour of party conferences in what has amounted to a festival season for Irish politics. Louise O'Reilly, TD for Dublin Fingal, and Conor Murphy, MLA for Newry and Armagh, joined Hugh, Sarah Bardon and Northern Editor Gerry Moriarty to discuss some of the thorny challenges facing Sinn Féin.

This week on The Floating Voter, Kevin Doyle is joined by Philip Ryan and Niall O' Connor and we have a lot to talk about this week, starting with Fine Gael's vice-chairman of their executive council Barry Walsh's controversial tweets and with Fine Gael party conference last weekend we talk about Leos denial of the housing crisis. Then with Sinn Féin Ard Fheis coming up we take a look at what Gerry Adams may have in store in his live televised address.

Last month we went to the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis for a close look at that party's policies, politics and personalities. This weekend it was Fine Gael's turn for their annual get-together, so Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy and TD for Dublin Rathdown Josepha Madigan joined Hugh, Harry McGee and Fiach Kelly for another live recording of the podcast. They discussed the style and substance of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar's speech, the new policy proposals outlined in the "first iteration" of their "rolling manifesto", and the remaining doubt over how far we are willing to go to secure a a frictionless border with post-Brexit Northern Ireland.

This week on The Floating Voter, Kevin Doyle is joined by Philip Ryan, Shona Murray and the award winning Niall O' Conner. This week we look forward to taking the bus to Cavan for Leo Varadkar's first Ard Fheis. We chat about the few storms Waterford TD John Halligan found himself this week and the gauntlet is thrown down by Alan Kelly for Brendan Howlin.

Episode 15 assesses Fianna Fáil 's annual party conference known as Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis 2017. I analyse some of the points that the leader of Fianna Fáil Micheál Martin made during his speech at the event including Fianna Fáil claiming responsibility for ending the water charges and Micheál Martin's strong criticism of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. I also investigate the opening of a controversial new Church of Scientology Centre in Firhouse in South Dublin. I provide opinions and commentary on the history of Scientology, the beliefs and practices of Scientology along with the series of scandals that have rocked the religion which has led to it's bad reputation.

Inside Politics has made the short trip from its office to the RDS where a resurgent Fianna Fáil are holding their annual Ard Fheis, to ask whether the party is really ready to return to government after a long spell in the political wilderness. Joining Hugh, Pat and Sarah were Dara Calleary and Fiona O'Loughlin, while Fiach canvassed the opinions of some special guests in the audience.
