Podcasts about Armagh

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 17, is the Memorial of St. Patrick, a bishop chosen by God 1.500 years ago to preach His glory by bringing Christianity to Ireland, a little country which would be converted from their pagan gods to the one true God.Today, Irishmen venerate him as their father in the Faith.Sf. Patrick was born about 385 in the British Isles. In Roman Britain, when he was 16, while he was tending his sheep, Irish raiders captured him and sold him into slavery. Six years later, he escaped to Europe, became a monk, and was ordained; he then returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel.During the thirty years of missionary work, he covered the Island with churches and monasteries and founded the metropolitan see of Armagh.Many legends are associated with St. Patrick: how he drove the snakes out of Ireland and how he used the shamrock to teach the mystery of the Trinity.Ireland, although a small country, played a large role in spreading the true faith to the world. During the early Dark Ages, and while Europe remained in darkness, the Irish monasteries preserved Western writingsIn his autobiography, Confessions, written in true humility, St. Patrick said,“I am greatly God's debtor, because he granted me so much grace, that through me many people would be reborn in God.”Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Later tonight Irish actress Jessie Buckley will find out if she has won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Agnes Shakespeare in the adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet.It's a film about family, love, grief, and the aftermath of losing a child. Audrey talks to psychotherapist Julia Samuel about how the film forces you sit with the rawness of grief. Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain whose son Benedict was tragically drowned while on honeymoon tells us what has helped him in the aftermath of such incredible loss.“Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle”- the US government quoting scripture to explain the sacrifice of war in Iran. Theologian Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick tells us what the Book of Revelations says and how it has been interpreted by the Church over the centuries to make claims about the end of the World and the Battle of ArmageddonSilence- it's been used for hundreds of years, in books, plays, poetry...the irony of that is profound. Audrey talks to Oxford Professor Kate Mcloughlin about her new book which traces 12 centuries of literature uncovering the power and possibilities of silence.And this week 300 delegates will be meeting in the Archdiocese of Armagh to ask how do we pass on the faith to the next generation?

The Troubles may be over, but the legacy lives on, as ongoing legal cases revive past incidents, but one area that has continued to capture the imagination of those interested in this period of British and Irish history is Bandit Country. That is South Armagh and the IRA's relatively successful campaign against the British Army. Toby Harnden joins today as we talk about his book, published in 1999 but republished recently and the seminal account of the South Armagh Brigade of the IRA throughout the Troubles. We kick off the chat over whether podcasts are replacing books.

Galway made it three wins from four in the Lidl Ladies National Football League with a five-point victory over Armagh in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Saturday (21st February 2026). Andrea Trill's goal before half-time put the Tribeswomen in front, before two Leanne Coen green flags early in the second period put them in a winning position, even if the Orchard County did stay in contention until the closing stages.

After a week off, Galway return to LIDL Ladies National Football League action this Saturday (21st February 2026) when they host Armagh. The Tribeswomen sit in third following two wins from their opening three games.  They beat Kildare 3-12 to 1-17 in Tuam Stadium two weeks ago.  Armagh have suffered two defeats in their three outings, including last week's 2-8 to 1-9 reversal against Cork and are in sixth, just outside the relegation spots. That being said, Armagh were league champions in 2024 and runners-up 12 months ago.  They beat Galway in their last meeting (0-8 to 0-6) in 2024.  The girls in maroon last defeated the Orchard County back in 2017 when two late Mairead Seoighe goals gave them a 2-11 to 1-12 success in Tuam. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and agreed that two wins from three wasn't a bad start. == Throw-in at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Saturday is 4.15pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Roscommon won the last league clash in Salthill back in 2023.  Two years previously, goals from Paul Kelly and Tomo Culhane gave the maroon and white a 2-16 to 1-13 result. Roscommon captain Diarmuid Murtagh acknowledged the year had begun in ideal fashion. == Throw-in at Pearse Stadium on Saturday is 7pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Galway return to the National Football League on Saturday (14th February) when they travel to All-Ireland and league champions Kerry. Both sides have one win each, with the Tribesmen beating Armagh away two weeks ago.  Captain John Maher makes his first appearance of 2026 in one of our changes made by manager Padraic Joyce.  Goalkeeper Conor Flaherty, Matthew Tierney and Shane McGrath also come into the starting 15. Galway Bay FM's Ollie Turner and Kevin Dwyer look ahead.

Last up was Armagh's Rachael Merry.  They have a bye in the opening round but, chatting to Darren, Rachael was enjoying her trip down west.

Bishop Michael Router, Auxiliary Bishop of Armagh and chair of the Council for Healthcare of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference, has welcomed Pope Leo XIV's message for the 34th World Day of the Sick.  The Pope is urging society to measure itself by how it cares for the most vulnerable — including the sick, elderly, addicted, unborn, poor and hungry.  

ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by Three Red Kings' Tom Savage after Ireland's 36-14 defeat at the hands of France in Paris.This wasn't the greatest night for Andy Farrell's side as they started their 6 Nations campaign with a loss.Multiple questions came in the aftermath, mainly about where Irish rugby was going after such a damaging defeat.Savage delves into this and the ongoing debate of who should play out-half, Sam Prendergast or Innishannon's Jack Crowley.Teams who are going well though are Cork's inter-county GAA teams who are unbeaten across all codes in the National Leagues.The hurlers made it three wins from three last weekend in beating Tipperary (0-29 to 0-22), while the footballers hope to replicate that record when they travel to Offaly this Sunday.The LGFA side face Armagh and can go up to second with a win while the camogie team begin their season on Saturday when they make the trip to Waterford.

Upcoming EventsTá Scoil Gheimhridh Uí Chadhain, i gcomhar le Conradh na Gaeilge agus Glór na Móna, ag óstáil plé ar an Ghaeilge agus ar aontú na hÉireann Dé hAoine seo ag a haon a chlog sa Chultúrlann.In addition, Scoil Gheimhridh Uí Chadhain is hosting another discussion this Saturday at 11am on Protestants & a United Ireland, featuring Claire Mitchell and Dr Robbie McVeigh.Sinn Féin's Commission is hosting a people's assembly in Cork, on the 19th February 7pm at Rochestown Park Hotel. Bígí Linn. South & East Belfast Sinn Féin is hosting an evening discussion on what a world class, all-Ireland health system could look like and how we make it a reality. Chaired by Deirdre Hargey MLA, with Guest speaker David Cullinane TD and joined by panellists from across the health sector. The event will take place on the 12th of February 7pm at the Malone Lodge. Self-Determination and Democratic RightsFor decades now I have argued that self-determination is one of the big issues of our time. In 2005 I wrote: “In my view the big international struggle of our time is to assert democratic control by people over the decisions which affect their lives. This does not mean retreating behind existing borders and refusing contact with the outside world, but it does mean reasserting the primacy of democracy and working together in order to pursue this objective.”Mickey Brady – A Cheerful Change Maker. Mickey Brady, former Sinn Féin MLA and MP for Newry and Armagh died last week. His sudden death came as a great shock to his family and to all of us who knew and respected him. I had the great fortune to work closely with Mickey in the Assembly and I often campaigned with him during elections. Some people are really good canvassing during elections. They have that way of engaging with people on the streets and at the doorstep and Mickey was a master at it.He was always positive. He knew the issues impacting on people and he could speak from his years of experience as an elected representative and as a champion for their rights through his work in the Newry Welfare Rights centre.Report on Rural Health in a New Ireland publishedSinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland last week published its latest report - ‘Delivering Rural Health and Care in a New Ireland.' The public event took place in Enniskillen in November.A packed hall heard from a panel of health activists, including Pat Cullen MP, Fr. Brian D'Arcy – writer and broadcaster, Paula Leonard, CEO of Alcohol Ireland and Denzil McDaniel, author and former editor of The Impartial Reporter. The discussion and report examines the challenges faced by rural communities trying to access all-Ireland cardiac services, autism services, cancer provision, suicide support services and A&E.It makes no sense that we run two entirely separate health systems trying to solve the same problems. The report of the Enniskillen Assembly can be accessed in English and Irish here: www.sinnfein.ie/futureofireland

Send us a textFor the episode I'm joined by ex Royal Ulster Constabulary and PSNI officer Sam Thompson. Sam spent his teen years growing up in a 1970s Belfast and remembers seeing his city descend into chaos and violence as the conflict erupted. Despite this Sam elected to join the police force which brought him face to face with danger in some of Northern Ireland's most deadly areas including East Tyrone, Armagh and Springfield Road in Belfast.Sam shares stories about narrowly avoiding death at the hands of the IRA 3 times within a week and how some of his fellow officers weren't so quite lucky.We spoke about the importance of conversations about the conflict and of preserving the stories/memories of those who were there as well as how Sam ended up making friends with ex republican paramilitaries. 00:00 Making friends with ex-IRA men 06:25 Growing up 19:30 Joining the RUC 38:40 INLA in Armagh 43:45 British soldiers telling Loyalists that they're “Not British”47:07 BELFAST (Springfield Road station)57:00 UDR 59:55 Collusion ?1:29:15 Most memorable moments from Sam's career1:32:15 Thoughts “Say Nothing” tv series 1:35:45 Sam's writing 1:43:00 Common misconceptions  BUY SAM's NOVEL: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nights-Armour-Samuel-Thompson/dp/178117699XPLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

Send us a textFor this episode I'm joined by ex- South Armagh man Martin McAllister who you may have seen in the recent BBC documentary on Captain Robert Nairac.Martin shares his experiences including guerrilla warfare in the fields of South Armagh, being part of one of the IRA's biggest prison escapes and being shot while attempting to ambush British soldiers. He tells us about the british army medic who intervened and potentially stopped his fellow troops from k*lling Martin and how this had a profound effect on him.Martin speaks in depth about the importance of empathy, even during a violent conflict, and how he came to hold such views. Martin has spent decades searching for the remains of "the disappeared", a group of people who the IRA m*rdered but have never disclosed their place of burial, including one of the most enigmatic figures from the troubles, Captain Robert Nairac.  00:00 Early days of the troubles in Crossmaglen 06:05 Joining the IRA 12:05 Training 17:20 British Army “No-Road” Policy & Helicopters In South Armagh 20:30 “Bandit Country” Nickname 23:30 ROBERT NAIRIC28:05 Breaking Out Of Max-Security Prison 41:40 Returning to Active Service 43:50 SHOT & CAPTURED BY BRITISH ARMY 49:50 EMPATHY57:28 KINGSMILL 1:14:02 Quest to find Robert Nairac & “the disappeared” 1:16:10 Martin's thoughts on recent BBC documentary that he featured inPLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

Philomena MulvennaPhilomena Mulvenna died in the early hours of last Friday morning. I have known Philomena and her husband Paddy for most of my adult life. Paddy and she were 72 years married and they had 7 children. Mrs Mulvenna protested with other women against military occupation and for decades on behalf of the political prisoners especially the Armagh women and the blanket men. The song sings unfairly, of the boys of Ballymurphy but all of us know that without the women of Ballymurphy, the struggle would have not succeeded as it has in this Republican heartland. Like working class Republican women throughout the North, these mothers and grandmothers, sisters and wives were unbreakable, indomitable and resilient.Brendan MurphyI was deeply saddened to hear of the death of Brendan. I had the pleasure of knowing him for decades, although I haven't seen him in ages.Martin CollinsMartin Collins would not have been well known on this side of the Irish Sea. But in London he was central to many of the Irish organisations and campaigns, as well as the solidarity movements like Troops Out. Martin campaigned for decades against British injustice in Ireland. It was through this work that I often met him in London.Solidarity with the Palestinian PeopleTo mark International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People there will be an event in Ionad Eileen Howell/St. Comgall's in Belfast on 29 November at 11am. This will involve a conversation between myself and Seanadoir Chris Andrews who recently participated in the Global Freedom Flotilla to Gaza.A Passport office for the NorthThe consistent refusal by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to establish a passport office in the North flies in the face of the very clear demand for such a service. Year after year the numbers of people in the North applying for an Irish passport has grown substantially. Last year over 128,000 people living in the six counties applied for an Irish passport.

A wide-ranging selection of tech companies, from drone software to med-tech have today been announced among the winners of the inaugural North-South Business Cooperation Awards, a €500,000 programme launched by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation to celebrate cross-border entrepreneurship on the island of Ireland. The Awards, which culminated in a high-profile ceremony at Castle Leslie Estate, Co. Monaghan, saw a total of nine entrepreneurs and entrepreneur businesses in partnership, recognised for their outstanding achievements in building businesses that bridge communities in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The Awards attracted a large volume of entries from across the island, with businesses demonstrating genuine cross-border collaboration and trade. Eligible companies were required to show a meaningful presence in both jurisdictions while also meeting minimum thresholds for turnover and employment. The result was a highly competitive field that showcased the strength and diversity of entrepreneurship operating across the island of Ireland. North-South Business Cooperation Awards A total of €500,000 in cash prizes was awarded: one Gold Award of €150,000, two Silver Awards of €100,000 each, and six Bronze Awards of €25,000 each. Partnering with Galway-based chocolatier, Grá Chocolates, Northern Irish tech platform needi took home a Silver Award. The female-founded service, created by co-founders Steph Scholes and Louise Doyle to connect businesses with local, independent vendors using AI technology and human curation, was set up in Armagh in 2020. Renewable energy solutions firm Acel Energy also received a Silver Award. The Monaghan-based company designs and implements solar tech, battery-storage and demand-management systems for commercial clients, often under co-ownership or Power Purchase Agreement models. Among the Bronze Award winners, med-tech companies saw huge success through cross-border partnered entries, with fertility clinics OvaScan Fertility Ultrasound (Dublin) and New Beginnings Scan (Strabane), which each combine advanced ultrasound technology with specialist expertise, taking home prizes through a joint entry. Súil Pharma, a Galway med-tech company developing novel therapies specialising in vision and hearing diseases, and Medinect Ophtho, a Belfast service provider delivering high-quality pre-clinic services, also joined forces to each take home a Bronze Award. Rounding off the joint entries, Subterranean Software, specialising in drone and embedded systems for constrained environments, and Good Friday Robotics, which develops advanced drone robotics for hazardous environments, were each also awarded a Bronze prize. Other Bronze winners in tech included Cotter Agritech, which develops precision livestock health tools, enabling selective treatment of livestock to reduce chemical usage and improve sustainability, and Arcus Cleaning Systems, an industrial hygiene and automated cleaning solution provider. Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, creator and owner of the easy family of brands - including easyJet.com, easyHotel.com and many others (see www.easy.com and www.easyHistory.info), and founder and president of the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation (see stelios.foundation and stelios.ie) - personally presented the awards and met the finalists at the ceremony. Speaking at an event announcing the winners, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, said: "This is a proud day for entrepreneurship on the island of Ireland. The winners we honour today show that when determination, innovation and creativity meet, borders become bridges. These entrepreneurs are not only building successful businesses - they are proving that collaboration across communities leads to prosperity for all. They are creating jobs, delivering services and setting an example for the next generation of entrepreneurs. I hope that their success today will encourage even more entrepreneurs to think ambitiously, work collaboratively, and see the entire isl...

In January 1961, the close-knit community of Newry in Northern Ireland was shaken to its core when a local teenager failed to return home from a Friday night dance event. As concern gave way to alarm, a major search effort was launched, but what police eventually uncovered would horrify even the most seasoned officers.19-year-old Pearl Gamble was a bright and popular shop assistant with a promising future ahead of her. Her sudden and violent death cast a long shadow over the town, prompting a wide-ranging investigation that gripped the nation and unsettled a community where doors were rarely locked.As suspicion began to gather around a familiar face, the case took on a chilling intensity, culminating in a courtroom drama that would leave its mark on legal history.Join my Patreon community at patreon.com/britishmurders for exclusive perks, including early access to ad-free episodes, exclusive episodes and content, exciting giveaways, and welcome goodies!
