Have you ever fancied a slower pace of life living on an island?Well, you may remember that the local community in Arranmore, which is an island off the coast of Donegal, were pioneering when it came to attracting remote workers to come and live on their beautiful shores...So, just how did they manage to grow population numbers for the first time in many years? And did the Croí Cónaithe scheme offering renovation grants make a difference?Adrian Begley from Arranmore Community Council joins Seán to discuss.

From Rathlin in the north to Cape Clear in the south, the islands off the coast of Ireland have long been a source of inspiration and of myth. But they're home to a rich diversity of wildlife too - and a wide range of people. In Inis na nIontas, actor and comedian Ardal O'Hanlon takes us on a fascinating journey, unearthing the history, observing the wildlife and meeting the islanders trying to live sustainably within their extraordinary environment. Inis na nIontas is Ardal O'Hanlon's first Irish-language show. His mother, Teresa, is a native Irish-speaker and, in this series, Ardal fulfils a longstanding ambition to practise and improve his Irish and promote its use to a wider public. Ardal O'Hanlon's first Irish-language show The first episode will be broadcast on TG4 on 10th January at 9.30pm. It focusses on the north, beginning on Rathlin Island, famous for its countless seabirds and, unique to the island, the golden hare. Here, Ardal learns how an astonishing archaeological find has rewritten Irish history, and he tastes some noodles made from kelp, sustainably farmed on the island. From Rathlin, Ardal travels to remote Tory Island off Donegal, where he learns of its musical tradition and its mystical past, and we see how farming practices are being fashioned to encourage the endangered corncrake. Next, Ardal heads to Arranmore, the largest island of the north. Here, he learns how the islanders are encouraging new residents, while on a beautiful, small islet the threatened little tern has found a welcome sanctuary. In the second episode, Ardal continues down the west coast to the Aran islands, where he learns from a practising monk of their ancient Christian heritage while, all around, a remarkable range of flora blooms, encouraged by traditional farming methods. Heading south, Ardal visits the abandoned Great Blasket Island, former home to Irish author Peig Sayers, now home to a thriving seal colony and two young caretakers. On nearby Valentia, Ardal is shown fossilised evidence of early life emerging from the sea. Along the island's coast, Ireland's only vermouth producers forage for ingredients, while in the surrounding waters oyster conservationists are hard at work. The episode ends with a visit to spectacular Skellig Michael, a UNESCO world heritage site made internationally famous in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. With Luke Skywalker long gone, the island is home to numerous puffins and the world's most dramatic ancient monastery. In the final episode, Ardal is in the far south, where he discovers beautiful Garnish Island. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, Garnish is a paradise filled with gorgeous, lush gardens. It's also a breeding ground for the rare and majestic white-tailed eagle. By kayak, Ardal sees its thriving seal colony, before heading further south to Sherkin Island, where he's at sea once more, being introduced to a playful pod of dolphins. A local historian tells us of the island's piratical past and a resident artist explains why Sherkin has become a painters' paradise. Ardal visits Cape Clear A short hop takes Ardal to Cape Clear, Ireland's southernmost island, where he's taken on a tour in one of the island's electric buses - the only in Ireland. We meet the island's resident ornithologist, who explains the huge importance of the island for migratory birds, and visit a gin distillery that uses foraged kelp. A climactic clifftop view, out across the Atlantic, marks the end to an unforgettable journey. From mighty, windswept cliffs to sub-tropical Edens, the islands of Ireland are extraordinary in their diversity and, for Ardal, the filming has been a revelatory experience. ARDAL O'HANLON - 'It was remarkable for me to witness the extraordinary diversity of our islands and to meet such a range of astonishing people. As an Irishman, I'd obviously heard of a lot of these places, but I was quite taken aback by visiting and seeing for myself. I was genuinely moved. We have some of the most breathtaking scene...
Having lived in a former boathouse, Nora Flanagan was destined to join the RNLI. In Gaelic, we hear from Arranmore's first female crew member Speaking in Gaelic, Nora Flanagan describes the old boathouse she grew up in, with the Arranmore lifeboat anchored just outside the door. Though she trained as a nurse in Edinburgh and worked in London, Nora was an islander at heart and returned to Arranmore in 1982. There she joined the all-male lifeboat crew and wasn't sure what she could offer, until a shout came in for which her nursing skills were called upon – helping Nora realise that everyone has a role to play. 200 Voices is produced by Adventurous Audio for the RNLI Interview by John McCafferty Soundtrack composed and performed by Jon Nicholls The RNLI is a charity celebrating 200 years of saving lives at sea - find out more at RNLI.org/200

The Panti Personals - S2 E2 - Ye Vagabonds Panti Bliss is with Brían and Diarmuid Mac Glionn, otherwise known as Ye Vagabonds, the multi-award winning harmonising brothers who hail from Co Carlow but whose music, songs and story are dipped in the waters of their mother's homeland, Arranmore Island in Co Donegal. Ye Vagabonds picked up best band at this year's RTÉ Irish Folk Awards as well as best folk track for their version of 'I'm A Rover' and with Panti Bliss they share the roots of their music and how the Cobblestone Pub in Smithfield, (which is now under threat), played such a part in their evolution as performers. For Panti they perform 'I'm A Rover' live and in hilarious detail tell the adventures of their All Boats Rise, slow tour, along the canalways with Myles O'Reilly, and perform one of the songs from that tour 'The Pride of The Barrow'. As they head into the mix for their third album they talk about 'blood harmonies' that unspoken sound language of siblings who sing together and gives us a unique insight into how they work together with the performance of a new song, written together.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, TD, today joined Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) to launch Science Week 2020, a national celebration of science with hundreds of virtual events taking place. Running from 8-15 November, Science Week provides people across the country with the opportunity to ask questions, explore the science behind our everyday lives, and consider the future we want and the role science can play in helping us create and understand our shared future. This year marks the 25th-anniversary celebrations of Science Week, with events for all ages taking place, whether it is exploring the wonder of space from Arranmore island or an interactive family-friendly science day in Ballyhoura. This year the theme for Science Week is Choosing our Future, focusing on how science can improve our lives today and in the future. For Science Week 2020, SFI wants to start a conversation on how science can positively impact our collective futures and help us shape the Ireland we want to live in. The public will be asked to share their views during Science Week 2020 through a series of formats. Launching Science Week 2020, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, TD, said: “Science, technology, engineering and maths all play a huge role in our everyday lives and in our economy, that has never been clearer than during the past few months as we respond to Covid-19. Science Week is an opportunity for us all to engage with the science all around us and have informed conversations about our shared ambitions for our future. I am encouraging people across the country to get involved in Science Week 2020, by joining one of the hundreds of virtual events and festivals taking place. Although we cannot join in person this year, I hope this year’s virtual Science Week will see science celebrated in every corner of Ireland.” Dr Ruth Freeman, Director of Science for Society, Science Foundation Ireland said: “This year, Science Week aims to support conversations amongst the public about what they want the future of Ireland to look like, and how science can and should support the hope we have for our collective future. Throughout Science Week we will be looking for the public to get involved, to share their views and join one of the hundreds of virtual events taking place this year. As we mark the 25th anniversary of Science Week, we are delighted to bring a fantastic variety of events to the public in a virtual capacity, so wherever you are, there are opportunities to discover, create and engage with science. I want to thank all the organisers for developing some really creative ideas this year and hope that people of all ages get involved and join the conversation on what science can do today and for our shared future.” Most Science Week 2020 events will take place online and are free to join, but registration may be required. A number of events are due to take place in person, in full compliance with Covid-19 guidelines. A sample of the Science Week events taking place and available to join online are: Baking in Space virtual opportunity to join Andrew Smyth, aerospace engineer and Great British Bake-Off finalist and scientist, performer and explorer, Dr Niamh Shaw on a gastronomic journey into orbit. The event will be taking place live online the 8th, 11th and 15th of November. Tech Scéal will bring together families to explore science and engineering through a series of workshops involving robotics, electronics, coding and e-textiles culminating in an online virtual exhibition. A collection of entertaining workshops for Primary and Secondary Schools to bring into their classroom, including an exploration of our senses with Ginny Smith, scientific illusions with Dr Matt Pritchard and aerodynamic discoveries with Go Fly Your Kite. A special Family Day on Saturday 14th November where we will be streaming interactive events and workshops ...
On this week’s No Shame podcast, Top MMA journalist Petesy Carroll joins us on the line to discuss UFC #249. Saturday night marked a triumphant return for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Jacksonville, Florida & we’re breaking down all the key talking points from a card that will never be forgotten. Peter currently writes for MMA Fighting, one the biggest MMA news outlets in the world. Alongside fellow broadcaster Niall McGrath, Carroll co-hosts the fantastic ‘Eurobash’, a weekly podcast that offers a definitive guide to MMA with interviews from the best in the business. It’s fair to say Petesy is on top of his game at the minute. The build up to UFC 249 has become infamous due the un-imaginable obstacles posed by the Coronavirus. However, the logistical nightmare of trying to host a major live event in the middle of a pandemic could not stop UFC president Dana White from putting MMA at the forefront of the sporting world on Saturday night. The PPV garnered massive traction online with an opening message from US President, Donald Trump spearheading the mainstream engagement across all social media platforms. The main event lived up to its billing with a stunning performance from Justin Gathje, who stopped Tony Ferguson in the 5th to claim the vacant interim Lightweight Belt. In the co-main event, Henry Cejudo defeated Dominick Cruz & after announced his immediate retirement from the sport of MMA. Petesy & Paddy offer their views on the announcement, predicting a return for Triple-C in the near future. Some of the other fights discussed during the podcast include Francis Ngannou’s demolition of Jairziho Rozenstruik, Anthony Pettis’ hard fought UD over Donald Cerrone & an honourable mention to Bryce Mitchell’s UD over Charles Rosa, most definitely one to watch back if you’re a technique fiend. We also talks about the prospect of the eagerly anticipated Fight Island, a UFC event currently in the works which will reportedly take place on a custom built Island tailored specifically to facilitate the participating fighters. The location of the island is currently unknown, all we know so far is that it’s definitely not Arranmore. This weeks podcast concludes with a conversation that centres around the future of MMA in Ireland & the need for the community to come together & be unified in it’s approach to re-opening gyms when safe to do-so. It’s alway a great pleasure to have Petesy on the show. The man is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to Irish MMA, having been there from the very start, pre Irish-Invasion era. His contribution to reporting on Mixed Martial Arts in this country has helped to set an exceptionally high standard of journalism. For over 10 years his consistent dedication, incredible level of professionalism & classic sense of humour have earned him the respect of the MMA world. If you’d like to know more about his back story, make sure you check out his first appearance on the No Shame podcast back on episode #037. The full episode #121 of Paddy Holohan’s No Shame Podcast is available now across all the usual platforms including Youtube, iTunes & Spotify.
Richard & Rita Kennedy, spent the summers of 2017 & 2018 sailing their boat, Seachrán, around Ireland. Setting out from Rossaveal in June of 2017, their first couple of week saw them meet bad weather & difficult conditions. But they explored hidden anchorages while island hopping from Innishbofin to Inishturk, to Arranmore and beyond.
The weather is a topic of conversation anywhere in Ireland, but that’s magnified on Arranmore, the most north-westerly point in Europe. There, newly installed connectivity is the springboard for further innovation as the islanders explore many uses for IoT technology to help their businesses survive and their tourist industry thrive.
On this edition - bringing equality to the offshore islands - Arranmore on the Donegal coastline is bounding ahead as a ‘Smart Island’. There is a warning about seabird breeding colonies; and women in the seafood industry stress the importance of unity in the fishing community.This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
Fishing is one of Ireland's best recognised heritage industries, and fishing, like all businesses, need to innovate to survive. In this episode of An Eye on Irish Industry, we look at how technology can and will transform the prospects of Arranmore's fishing community. Featuring Seamus Bonner, Arranmore Community Council, and Jerry Early, local fisherman and business owner.
On this edition - preserving the iconic Irish boat, the currach, a great part of Irish maritime tradition. And so are the offshore islands, where there’s good news from Arranmore.This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
From struggling to send an email to video-ready - we’re proud to be helping transform Arranmore into one of Europe’s best-connected islands. Hear the inside story from Three Business on the technologies that are bringing remote areas up to speed.
In our latest Documentary on Newstalk, Producers Maurice Kelliher and Shaun O’Boyle take a look at life before, and after, the evacuations and depopulation of Ireland’s islands—particularly the Donegal islands of Rutland, Inishfree, and Arranmore in: Leaving The Island Today, once populated and thriving north-western islands, such as Rutland, are deserted—while others like Arranmore, though still inhabited, have seen a significant decline in population over the decades since the middle of the last century. Leaving The Island explores island culture and identity, and considers the factors which played a part in subsequent population decline and evacuations—including emigration, economic conditions, modernisation, and the politics and strategic policies (or lack thereof) of the Irish state, with regard to the islands and their standing in the national infrastructure. Leaving The Island explores ideas around home, change, emigration, community, identity, loss, and islanders’ relationship to the sea. With personal stories at its centre, Leaving The Island looks at how the lives of island people changed when they had to leave for the mainland. As Diarmaid Ferriter, Professor of Modern Irish History at University College Dublin, points out in Leaving The Island, the offshore islands are ‘Ireland to the power of two’—in that they are a microcosm of the larger island (Ireland), and are themselves symbolic of national narratives such as emigration. Looking at life on and off the islands west of Donegal, Leaving The Island holds up a mirror to the broader national Irish experience as we hear how “having to leave our home” was an experience common to both mainlanders and islanders. BROADCAST DATES: Leaving The Island will air on Newstalk 106-108FM on Sunday February 10th at 7am, Repeated Saturday February 16th at 9pm. PODCAST: Podcast will be available on www.newstalk.com after the first broadcast.

Nikki from Ewe Felty Thing a LYS in Llandudno, North Wales and indie dyer, has kindly given a prize of the most beautiful 50% silk and 50% camel yarn. It is so beautifully soft. I am also pleased to say that in November, Nikki will be extending the size of her shop. It's always good to hear local yarn shop successes. 2 – Final Destination Creatively, I have been very busy this month, it's just that much of it has been for the shop and for Yarnporium (a large London yarn show on 2nd & 3rd November). So, less crochet and a lot of pottery, sewing, bag making, designing, and, and, and... I have finished off two shawls that I have been designing. The shawl is called Arria and on Friday 2nd November, the 4ply crocheted and knitted versions are being launched. They both use the intarsia technique and are a nice introduction to it because you only have three balls on the go. They both use 2 x 100g skeins of a 4 ply/light fingering weight yarn (400m/437yds) and a 20g mini skein of the same yarn weight. If you prefer to work in DK weight yarns, the DK Arria patterns are being worked up at the moment and might be ready for the December podcast. I have also been working on my first knitted sock pattern, which uses 20g mini skeins from River Knits. The pattern is called Mini Mania and if you buy a seventh 20g mini skein, you can use up almost all of your wool and get two pairs of socks from the 140g. Discount codes are set up on all three patterns on Ravelry. Use CROCHETCLAN at check out to receive 50% discount. 3 – En Route I have made very little progress on my Fallen leaves socks. I am desperate to get more crochet time in during November and catch up on life. Ho-hum. 4 – Feeding the habit This section usually reflects any woolly adventures I have had during the month. October was a great month for going to new places and seeing some of my lovely woolly friends. It all started with a trip to Hooligan Yarns on their open day. This is a smallholding called Manor Farm Charitable Trust, where they take in animals that would otherwise go to slaughter. Di, her husband Allan and a team look after 170 sheep, goats, chickens, donkeys, pony, geese, geep (yes, there is such a thing as a goat/sheep cross) and ducks. All of the animals get to live a full life and it was amazing to see the different personalities the animals have. The trip was all down to my friend Bec who organised it, and we had a great day out. Di has been working over the last couple of years to create yarn from the fleeces of the sheep. Needless to say, I couldn’t come away without any. I really love that I have animal and fleece specific wool and I have seen just how happy the animals were. The sale of the wool offers direct support to the charity. You can buy their yarn online. You can follow the different animals on Instagram (@hooliganyarns). You can also see the farm on Countryside Autumn Diaries 2018, Episode 3, go to 35:25 minutes. I know of two other UK suppliers of slaughter-free wool in case you are interested: Doulton Border Leicester Flock and Izzy Lane. The next day I was off to Bakewell Woolgathering in Derbyshire, a two-day yarn festival. I didn't have long there and made a beeline to see some friends. One of my plans for this year has been to look to my stash, see where I have single skeins that need partners and buy those partners. Laili owns Emily Foulds, a LYS in Colne, Yorkshire and one of the yarns she carries is The Fibre Company and this was one of the stash areas that I wanted to marry up with an extra skein. I really like Laili and what a success she is making of her shop, so I was pleased to be able to buy from her. When my skein arrived in the post (she didn't have the colour I wanted at the show) it also arrived with a couple of skeins of the new The Fibre Company yarn - Arranmore. I am looking to design up a new crocheted bag with this yarn, so it was really nice to get some to play with. I took a sneaky day off and headed down to London to meet up with a couple of friends. Stasia was over from Russia and Lisa works in London, so we met up int he afternoon for some tea, coffee and crochet at a very cool location called Drink, Shop & Do (later that night the cafe bar was hosting prosecco and pumpkin carving party!) We were all swapping little bits and pieces as gifts and I was blown away with the lovely things I received from Stasia and Lisa. I am now the happy owner of some Russian yarn and a really special stitch marker. I also visited a new yarn shop called Tribe Yarns (@Tribeyarnslife). I only had about 20 minutes there and it was so amazing. I can't do it justice just now, so I am going to go back and have a proper look and photograph it properly. It's in Richmond on the Hill and it is easily one of my new favourite yarn shops. The lovely Nikki from Ewe Felty Thing also sent me through a skein of yarn, very specifically for making socks with so that I can check out another type of yarn. I was searching at Yarndale for some alpaca based sock yarn but couldn't find any, so this skein is just perfect. I will report back in due course so that you know how it wears. 5 - Quick News Beats Global Hook Ups – I am going to take a month off the Global Hook Ups. I know that when I come back form Yarnporium, my battery levels are going to be really low and I want to make sure I get a proper recharge during November. The hook ups will be back in December. Meet up in Glasgow - 24th November meet up in Glasgow at The Queen of Purls at 3.30pm. It would be lovely to see some of you there. WIPalong - Charlie from the Love Charlie Podcast and some Instagram friends are hosting #WIPvember. It runs from 1st - 30th November om Instagram. All you need to do is get cracking on your WIPs. My plan is to continue this throughout December too because ideally, I would carry just one WIP into 2019. I really want to move into the New Year with a clean slate, knowing that I can tackle whatever it is I want and there is no background guilt over long-suffering projects). 6 – Big Up I don't think I have ever told you about my wonderful sister-in-law. Sarah is Matthew's sister and she is an author and a very good one at that. She has a new book out under the Urban Fantasy genre and when she was visiting this weekend, we hatched a plan for a giveaway. 'The Night Raven' is the first novel in The Crow Investigation Series. Sarah is giving away a signed copy of 'The Night Raven' and between us we picked out linen embroidery thread colours to match the front cover which is then part of a raven embroidery bag kit that I am giving away from KNIT IT - HOOK IT - CRAFT IT. The embroidery kit is an absolute one-off (apart from the one that I gave to Sarah - because she is an amazing person). If you would like to win the prize bundle, take to Instagram and make sure you are following her account (@sarapainterbooks)and my business account (@knitithookit) and leave a comment on the post in my account @knitithookit If you want to tag a friend that might be interested, then please do, but it isn't compulsory. Simply comment on the post by 12pm GMT 9th November. Sarah has a growing back catalogue, many of which are available through Amazon and Audible. 7 - J'adore We have been binge-watching The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel which is airing on Amazon. Right, I am off to do more prep for Yarnporium and will be spending most of November on the sofa crocheting.

The island of Arranmore is one of the largest inhabited islands off the coast of Donegal. The winters are long and the wild ocean cuts the islanders off from the mainland. Community is vital to the island's survival; local people meet to sing songs, tell stories, watch television and play bingo. But is this enough for the younger generation?
