Comhghairdeas Féile!!Well done to all of those who planned, organised, participated in, or generally contributed to this years hugely successful Féile an Phobail. It was a colourful, imaginative, informative, entertaining, empowering and exhausting couple of weeks. This year's published programme was a weighty volume providing information on over 600 events across the City. It was a mix of  80 debates and discussions, sporting and music events, art exhibitions, as well as the carnival parade and family fun days for children and much more. The concerts in the Park were packed to capacity each night and revellers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Gael Stair – Na h'Abair é, dean é.During Féile I had the honour and pleasure to open an exhibition in Conway Mill on the role of the Irish language and Irish language activists in the social and political history of Belfast. At the heart of the exhibition is the archive preserved by Brighid Mhic Sheáin - one of the founders of the Shaws Road Gaeltacht in west Belfast. Over five decades she diligently collected the Gael Stair archive which reveals how connected the Irish language was with the struggle for social rights, self-determination, and for a better future free from poverty and unemployment.

Brian Smyth, Green Party Councillor in Belfast City, discusses videos circulating of vigilante-type groups patrolling areas of east Belfast.

Du Mexique à la Palestine en passant par Berlin, Belfast et les conquêtes d'Alexandre le Grand, les murs incarnent des tentatives ratées de l'histoire. Toujours pour séparer, mais très souvent franchis ou débordés. Vers l'an 140 de notre ère, l'Empire romain construit un mur très loin des siens, sur le sol de l'Ecosse actuelle. Une frontière verticale conçue pour séparer et se protéger de ceux qu'ils ont nommés les Barbares. Une tentative qui intervient par ailleurs vingt ans après la construction du mur d'Hadrien. Etienne Duval en parle avec Séverine Peyrichou, en charge de la valorisation du mur d'Antonin, puisque ce patrimoine est classé par l'UNESCO depuis 2008. Avec Laurent Flutsch, archéologue, ancien directeur du Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy.

A Belfast, un quart de siècle après les accords du Vendredi saint qui ont mis fin au conflit nord-irlandais, les murs qui séparent les quartiers catholiques et protestants sont toujours en place. Chaque communauté a sa propre interprétation de l'histoire irlandaise et britannique et cette histoire parallèle est représentée sur des fresques toujours renouvelées de part et d'autre de ce qu'on appelle encore les murailles de la paix. Etienne Duval a rencontré un spécialiste de ce conflit, l'anthropologue Dominic Bryan, professeur à la Queen's University de Belfast.

The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making. A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep. The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house, able to turn the biggest arenas into intimate affairs. If anything, mainstream success, BRIT Award nominations and mammoth dance crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar's resolve to keep innovating. Their prized blog, running for nearly as long as the RA Podcast, regularly platforms upcoming artists. And you won't find many festival headliners releasing climate change-themed records with Indigenous artists, as they did recently on Takkuuk. RA.1000 exists in that spirit. After many polite declines, and before a year off to usher in the next era, Bicep come through at the last: from dub techno and screwface breaks to São Paulo garage, before a tide of signature synths floods the zone. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest. @feelmybicep Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1015. Listen to all RA.1000 mixes, as well as the complete history of the RA Podcast, at 1000.ra.co.

At Iowa Irish Fest, the music flows as easily as the pints. This year, I sat down with Belfast-born musician Ian Gould, who's been sharing Irish music around the world for years. Known for weaving stories and history into his performances, Ian also hosted a bodhrán workshop during the festival, giving curious festival-goers a hands-on... The post The Beat of Ireland: Ian Gould on the Bodhrán, Trad Music, and Tours appeared first on Ireland Family Vacations.

When faith brings disillusioned music teacher together with the unlikely heroes Naoise and Liam Og, the Irish Gaelic language is liberated with new life and meaning from the local Belfast youth in this true-life dark comedy.

RTE's Conor Macauley reports on a new play about 14 year old Julie Livingstone who was killed by a plastic bullet.

Michael Conlan's on The Rocky Road to Dublin. Host Kevin remembers his first time seeing the precocious Belfast teenager in action at the National Stadium, sweeping to Irish senior glory in the 2011 final at 52kg on the same night when a 17-year-old Joe Ward shocked Kenneth Egan in the 81kg decider. A year later, Mick became an Olympic medallist in London and when he was named RTE Sportsperson of the Year in 2015, as reigning European and World champion, an upgrade to gold in Rio looked on the cards. At the time it also seemed like he'd morph into a Dublin mainstay when he eventually turned pro but it was not to be. Yet, as Mick says, it's better late than never, and he'll finally headline at the 3Arena on September 5 against England's Jack Bateson as he chases what would be a third world title shot. Here, we sit down with the Falls Road fighter to find out why he's so excited to box in Dublin at last as a pro, how the 13 years since London 2012 have gone by in a blink, feeling no nerves before his last fight and why that was unusual for him, being one loss away from quitting, not needing boxing anymore, why it's his opponent's world title fight coming here, and his own ambition to face one final title shot at Madison Square Garden on Paddy's weekend, 2026. After a cosy lunch in the capital, we also chew the fat with irish-boxing.com pair Joe O'Neill and Matt Meehan as we look forward to a bumper couple of weeks for the domestic scene. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to this new series, “Something Psalmic,” in which I invite my guests to share what's lifting their spirits and offering them healing and hope right now.In this rich and moving episode of Psalms for the Spirit, I'm joined by Rev. Cheryl Meban ~ Presbyterian minister, university chaplain, member of the Corrymeela Community, choir singer, and faithful “walker of the Way.” Born during the conflict in Northern Ireland to English and Scots/Irish parents, Cheryl's journey has taken her from Belfast to the south of France and back, guided always by the reconciling love of God.We talk about the psalmic thread woven through her life: from singing in choirs to walking alongside students, from moments of isolation to the strength found in community and scripture. Cheryl shares how Psalm 27 has grounded her through times of fear, challenge, and feeling unseen. We reflect on the healing power of breath, voice, and memorized poetry ~ and how singing together lifts us, literally and spiritually, into connection and courage.“Sometimes being in community with your past self is part of the story… knowing how God has held us and helped us in the past is part of holding us in the present.”This episode is a reminder that the ancient words of the Psalms still echo powerfully today ~ offering us solace, strength, and a sense of belonging, even when the way ahead feels uncertain.Cheryl's Bio:Conceived in the loving heart of God, born as a youngest child to English and Scots/Irish parents in the sectarian conflict of Northern Ireland, a follower of Jesus, ambassador of Good News and God's reconciling work in the world. I graduated in Law, which I abandoned for the transforming power of Grace; lived 5 years in France, returned to NI in peace process; was trained and ordained a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. After marriage and the birth of my only child, I became a Chaplain at Ulster University in Belfast, and more recently joined the dispersed Corrymeela Community,, where I lead monthly Corrymeela in the City in Fitzroy Church in Belfast. I'm a walker of the Way, happily accompanied by a small dog and a loving network of friends and family across faiths, denominations and nationalities (but particularly francophile). I do love singing especially in a choir - it incarnates breath and exhales wellbeing, lifting spirits and strengthening the brokenhearted.Connect with Cheryl through her social channels:FacebookX (twitter)InstagramFeatured Song:Psalm 27: The Lord is My LightThe air ‘Down in Yon Banke' is originally a wordless Scottish country dance song, and in this rendition becomes a prayer for God's eternal presence.Learn more about the Habits for the Spirit Course www.kiranyoungwimberly.com/habits-courseGet involved with “Summer for the Spirit” www.kiranyoungwimberly.com/summerDownload your free guide here: “7 Spiritual Practices for Wellbeing in Uncertain Times”Become a Supporting/Paid SubscriberYou'll get:* Complimentary access to the Habits for the Spirit course* Videos of the conversations in Substack* The Psalms for the Spirit Journal ebook* Invitations to future offerings for supporting subscribers throughout the yearPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

It's claimed Clare patients languishing on waiting lists have been missing out on free cross border treatment unawares. It follows a new survey which shows 79% of people in this county have no knowledge of the Northern Ireland Planned Healthcare Scheme. Medical costs for operations involving hip replacements, knee replacements, ACLs, hysterectomies and gall bladders are among those which can be 100% reimbursed by the HSE. Clare GP Liaison at Belfast's Kingsbridge Hospital Dr Barry McKee says it's a very convenient option.

Planning for the FutureIt was Charles Stewart Parnell who said: “No man has the right to say to his country. Thus far shalt thou go and no further.” This was in the 19th century. He also declared; “Let no one set a boundary to the march of a nation.”Parnell was clearly setting out the right of the people of Ireland to self-determination. Interestingly he chose Cork to make this declaration.  That was the 21st January 1885. One of the current Cork TDs and the current Taoiseach Micheál Martin has a contrary view. Our right to self-determination is contained in the Good Friday Agreement so that right has been won. We now need to exercise it. There is an irony that An Taoiseach has set his face against this and that he refuses to plan for the certain day when the Good Friday Agreement referendums will be held.Planning for the FutureIt was Charles Stewart Parnell who said: “No man has the right to say to his country.

Jim is a gifted writer.‘Our Martin' is a very personal, insightful account of Martin's life in Derry and his love for his wife Bernie, and she for him, and for their children, Fionnuala, Emmet, Fiachra and Grainne.Martin said: “What politicised me was the civil rights protest. It wasn't anything I heard in the house, or even in my grandmother's house in Donegal. There was no republicanism whatsoever in my background.”‘Our Martin' by James McVeigh will be launched in Belfast at 1pm on 2 August in St. Mary's University College Belfast, as part of Féile an Phobail. It is available from An Fhuiseog, 55 Falls Road and from www.beyondthepalebooks.com 

Carmela from the Belfast office chats with Brenda and Peter, Radio Maria Volunteers, about Benburb Priory. L'articolo Chatechesis – Carmela – Brenda and Peter – Benburb Priory proviene da Radio Maria.

The BBC has found that five women who were exploited by so-called grooming gangs in Rotherham as children say they were also abused by police officers in the town at the time. One woman says she was raped repeatedly in a marked police car, and threatened with being handed back to the gang if she didn't comply. The BBC's Ed Thomas brings us the story and Clare McDonnell hears from Professor Alexis Jay who is the author of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse and Zoë Billingham, former His Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary. New mums are often inundated with advice, whether that's from their own mums or well meaning women in their lives. Increasingly though, given the sheer amount of our lives that takes place on social media the advice can come straight through our phones. It's led to what the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is calling 'advice overwhelm'. They say two thirds of new mums surveyed felt being inundated with advice added to the pressures of motherhood. It also found a third of new parents feel it's 'self-indulgent' to seek therapy and support. Clare is joined by Georgina Sturmer from BACP and Emma Gould, a mum of three who has experience of this. Julie is a new play about Julie Livingstone, a 14-year-old girl who died after being struck by a plastic bullet fired from an Army Saracen in May 1981 in Belfast, at the height of the hunger strike crisis. It is written and performed by her niece, award-winning actress Charlotte McCurry, who wasn't born when the tragedy happened but has grown up with Julie's legacy. Charlotte joins Clare. With the women's Euro's over, talk has turned to what next for the women's game in this country. One club which often gets mentioned when looking at alternative ways of running a football club is Lewes FC in East Sussex. It gained national attention back in 2017 when it became the first club in the world to pay its men and women equally. It hasn't been smooth sailing and there are questions even now about its financial viability, but one of those who championed its move to gender equality is Karen Dobres.

Over these nine weeks, three guys who know the best way to experience Ireland - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on a titanic season that people have been asking us to do for years, continuing with the fifth episode and elimination of Froukje. In this episode - we wonder where the "Paula was competent" narrative came from, someone becomes the Natalia, Bindles gives us some weird logic, Rick falls (and not for the last time!), we try not to fact check Pieter Jan Hagens, Phil Keoghan loves Kingdoms, we rank the five crusader-themed locations, the trip from Belfast to Dublin is surprisingly long, we look at just how bad shisha is for you, another maximum is set, Bindles educates us on a Spanish gameshow, we look for a very niche new AI voice and Logan locks in his fifth set of suspects. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 6! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.

Some Christians call "The Chosen" the best show about Jesus. Others claim it is heretical and needs to be avoided. But many of these conversations miss the kind of art "The Chosen" is aiming at being. In this two-part series, Daniel will explore whether the show is propaganda and whether we can call it something approaching neo-iconography. We will do this through the lens of Jordan Peterson's conversation with Dallas Jenkins. Watch the full conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI9X0fFEE8I Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-belfast-podcast/id1472441982 Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1s3aaP3pUkQKBVXbsP8Y34?si=ca588a6165424c61 Instagram: @thebelfastpodcast Email: belfastpodcast@gmail.com The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.

In the final Summer Break episode, Kelsi chats with Caleb and Nathan from  @theologyontherise  the 2021 movie, Belfast, and what it means to be given and identity rather than create one. They discuss how Belfast's main character, Buddy, wrestles with who he is as his parents simultaneously wrestle with a big family decision and where, while more descriptive than prescriptive, they see examples of Christian vocation throughout the film.Show Notes:⁠⁠⁠Support 1517⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1517 Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1517 on Youtube⁠⁠⁠More from Kelsi: ⁠⁠⁠Kelsi Klembara⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Follow Kelsi on Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Follow Kelsi on Twitter⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Kelsi's Newsletter⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to the Show: ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠Theology on the Rise: YouTubeInstagram

Visit Asics.com.au or your local speciality running store.   Throw back to our interview with 2:13 marathoner and now coach to Sam Tanner and Sam Ruthe, Craig Kirkwood. Craig Kirkwood, runner and coach sheds light on the career of running he's had, going through the several personal bests earned from around the world and how getting the best from his own training led to his start as a junior. He recalls earning high praise from Arthur Lydiard and his experiences competing and training in the NCAA in Oklahoma before heading off to the UK where he represented New Zealand at the 1999 World Cross Country Championships in Belfast. During his time in London, Craig developed his skill as a coach and agent organising athlete training and racing including the likes of Daniel Komen, watching their workouts and observing the level of professionalism they put in. Craig goes into stepping up to the marathon, getting selected for the Manchester Commonwealth Games before a freak injury derailed him then coming home to New Zealand. He shares his insight to the domestic scene, why New Zealand distance running sets the bar really high and his earnest approach into coaching, particularly young charges such as Sam Tanner and his philosophies around training and self belief, and closing with his thoughts on how the domestic running scene will go through the short term future and current state of the sport.

In Chile, a powerful new telescope has just given a taster of what we can expect from it later this year, when it will be used to survey the cosmos over a ten-year period. In one image it revealed vast colourful gas and dust clouds swirling in a star-forming region 9,000 light years from the Earth. Housed in the Vera C Rubin Observatory, which sits on a mountain in the Chilean Andes, the telescope is designed to get giant images of the sky about one hundred times larger and quicker than any other existing telescope can achieve. It contains the world's most largest digital camera, the size of a large car. When the Legacy Survey of Space and Time begins towards the end of 2025, the camera will film the entire Southern hemisphere night sky for the next decade, every three days, repeating the process over and over. And it will focus on four areas: mapping changes in the skies or transient objects, the formation of the Milky Way, mapping the Solar System and understanding dark matter or how the universe formed. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking, ‘What will Chile's latest telescope tell us about the Universe?'Contributors: Catherine Heymans, Professor of Astrophysics, University of Edinburgh, Astronomer Royal for Scotland, UK Željko Ivezić, Director of Rubin Construction, Professor of Astronomy, University of Washington, USA Dr. Megan Schwamb, Planetary Astronomer, Reader, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland Dr. Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Observational Astronomer, Assistant Professor, Physics and Astronomy, Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USAPresenter: Charmaine Cozier Producers: Louise Clarke and Jill Collins Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Image Credit: Anadolu via Getty Images
