Could Panti be moving from Capel Street to Áras an Uachtaráin? There's been rumours afoot that Rory O'Neill could be part of the 2025 Presidential Race, and naturally, we had to ask the big question. Rory joined Dave to chat Riot, Formula One and who would be greeting players at the Aviva-Panti or Rory.

TURAS ALF / ALF'S JOURNEY: Alf, a 20m x 5m giant puppet of a Smooth Newt, inspired by the current conversations around climate change and habitat loss, will meander through Dublin, visiting multiple city centre locations this Science Week. Supported by Research Ireland, Science Week is the annual week-long celebration of science in our daily lives and takes place across Ireland from 10 - 17 November 2024. This year, Science Week will explore the theme of Regeneration. World-renowned masters of visual storytelling, Macnas, has created Alf the Giant Newt with incorporated lighting, soundtrack and special effects, that will animate the streets of Dublin and delight audiences. Expect Macnas' signature collaborative creativity, electric energy and joyous abandon as Alf the Giant Newt arrives in the capital city. Join us in welcoming Alf on his journey through Dublin city centre on Thursday 14 November, accompanied by drummers, stilted beacons and a cohort of fire performers. This spectacular flaming cavalcade will wend through the city, starting at 19:30 from Capel Street, across the River Liffey via Grattan Bridge, through Parliament Street and onwards to Dublin Castle for 20:30 or, stop by and say hello to Alf at Collins Barracks (12th-13th November, 10am-5pm) as he prepares for his journey. Alf will be taking a well-earned rest at Dublin Castle after his journey across the city, and welcomes visitors at this historic location from 15th-16th November (10am to 9pm)*. Alf is a Smooth Newt, the only member of the tailed amphibians found in Ireland. Uniquely, newts have the amazing ability to regenerate their body parts. They can regenerate parts of their tails, jaws, ears, hearts, spines, eyes and brains. A newt can even completely repair damage to its heart! Newts are small but mighty and are masters of regeneration. Newts are part of a group of 'indicator species' - the health of their population serving as quite a good measure of the health of an environment. They can typically be found in habitats that offer protection from desiccation, such as woodlands. The Smooth Newt also depends on healthy, wetland habitats for its life cycle - protecting these habitats are vital. Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO of Research Ireland, said: "We are delighted to welcome Alf to Dublin this Science Week. Being a master of Regeneration himself, Alf perfectly encapsulates this year's theme for Science Week. Regeneration is happening all around us, and Science Week is a chance to explore infinite opportunities for our future, and how the decisions we make today will greatly impact future generations. With hundreds of events taking place nationwide, there is something for everyone - whether you're passionate about protecting our environment, biodiversity, our future health, or using technology like generative AI in our everyday lives." Richard Babington, Creative Director, Turas Alf, said: "Turas Alf / Alf's journey will see the community of Dublin come together to welcome a weary traveller who is feeling the effects of human development and climate change and needs somewhere safe to call home." Science Week 2024 is harnessing the power of regeneration and calling on the public to celebrate our ability to reinvent, rejuvenate and regenerate.

The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan is being presented to Dublin Councillors this afternoon.. The plans includes banning commercial vehicles to travel through Dublin City Centre by August! Kieran was joined by Head of Public Affairs at Dublin Chamber, Stephen Browne and John Mitchell, Owner of Mitchell Car Accessories on Capel Street...

Petrol and diesel cars are set to be banned by 2025 in Stockholm's City centre. The move is aimed at reducing noise and traffic congestion as well as improving air quality for its citizens. This begs the question, should we do something similar for our city centres? Kieran was joined by Sadhbh O'Neill, Lecturer in Climate Policy and Environmental Politics at DCU and John Mitchell, Owner, Mitchell Car Accessories on Capel St to discuss...

The area between Smithfield and Capel Street has historically been known as 'The Markets'. A recent event gave some idea of what this area could be. Today, we're exploring it with a hopeful message for the future.

Dublin's only alcohol-free bar has closed down. The Virgin Mary Bar was on Capel Street but due to increased costs and market pressures, the owners have decided to call it a day. It got us thinking, are there enough non-alcoholic options for punters and what to do if you don't go to the pub? Newstalk reporter, Josh Crosbie, has been looking into this and has been speaking with those organising alcohol-free events.

The Virgin Mary bar, which opened back in May 2019 on Capel Street, is shutting its doors. They are closing the physical bar, but will be taking the concept on the road. Is there an absence of places in the capital to enjoy a sober night out? Kieran was joined by influencer and former model, Holly Carpenter and owner of Clockwork-door escape rooms Ciaran Hogan to discuss…

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory talks to actor and writer Jack Walsh (Killnaskully, Vikings, Penny Dreadful) about his new play, Welcome to Ireland- Meltdown of an Irish Tour Guide. This is a semi-autobiographical play about a disgruntled Irish tour guide trying to keep his head above water while in danger of losing his home. By day he sells 'Brand Ireland' to tourists from far and wide with enchanting tales of ceol and craic; by night, he faces the threat of eviction from his chronically damp Capel Street flat, feeling the floor falling from under his feet, with no hope of an alternative. Drawing on his own experiences, Jack says “The life of an actor, selling Ireland as a tour guide and a close shave with homelessness. I've put it all into a show, full of madcap characters, lots of humour and some stark home truths. Ireland without the plámás. Everyone in the Dáil should see it”. The play is Directed by Deirdre Molloy and Produced by Connor Dudley-Fergus

This weekend tourists are flocking to Ireland and the hospitality industry is in massive demand. Joining Anton to discuss how things are going for the hospitality sector and how 'Square' plays its part is Hugh Hourican owner of The Boar's Head bar and lounge in Capel Street, Dublin, and John O'Flynn, General Manager of the five-star Fota Island Resort in Cork.

That there is an area of the capital known as ‘The Markets' may be news to many listeners, but nestled between Church Street and Capel Street, there is still a district of the city where the working day begins and ends much earlier than across town. Here, fruit and veg are the main commodities, and within it all is a beautiful Victorian redbrick, the Dublin city Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Markets. Next weekend an event called ‘Me Auld Flower' is taking over the market building, a food and drinks festival over four days. It's the second initiative in recent months to bring something new to the space and it opens up interesting discussions about what could happen to the site in future. Donal Fallon joins Gavan for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

Ireland's biggest ever rock band, U2, released one of their most iconic album's, entitled War, way back in 1983. To commemorate the 40 year anniversary of this album myself and Eoin decided to have a chat about the album itself and U2 in general. Somehow or another we got a little bit off topic and started asking ourselves who has aged better, Bono or Tom Cruise but we did get a good grip on what the album War meant for U2 and how it propelled them into the stadium rock legends that they inevitably became.As always thanks to you for listening and for all the warm messages and support that we get from you. This podcast truly has been a life changing hobby for myself and I hope to be able to continue to bring you lots of new episodes for the foreseeable future!

Last night we had our first ever live podcast. It's hard to believe that this podcast has even gotten to the point where we could do something like this but the stars aligned and a lot of different people helped us and made it happen for us. So a big thanks to them and to all the people who came along to the show. It was great fun and the good news is, it'll be the same again next week as we look to try and do the live podcasts on a weekly basis.The night wasn't without it's stereotypical ‘opening night' problems. Originally we had planned on putting the podcast out on YouTube live as well, but apparently you need to give YouTube 24 hours notice before you do your first live on your channel. Who knew? I didn't. We also had a couple of lads in the background doing their thing playing boardgames. We had the room booked for the evening but we decided to let them in as the room is really big and we didn't think our mics would pick them up. Once again, wrong again, so apologies for any background noise you hear during this episode.Apart from all that, our guest Malinda was absolutely wonderful and our live audience were even better! Malinda is a professional stand-up comic from Sri Lanka based out of Dublin. We talk about the Dublin comedy scene, realities of being a professional artist, seagulls, North Face jackets and much much more.Malinda runs the N2O comedy show which is in The Black Sheep on Capel Street on Friday and Saturday night. We couldn't recommend it more. Check out the link in the description of this episode.www.eventbrite.ie/o/n2o-comedy-club-dublin-36652764853 Hosted on Acast.

Dublin's Capel Street shop owners are split on the new pedestrianisation. Some feel it has been left unfinished, encouraging antisocial behaviour. A drop in foot fall, with no dedicated cycle lane, leading to cyclists hitting pedestrians. Dublin City Council will vote in November to determine if the street will remain pedestrianised. Henry McKean took a stroll down Capel Street and met pedestrians, business owners and locals. He asked is it working?

Michael Lyster joins hurling-legend Eddie Keher at his Kilkenny home to chat about his career and life. Edward Peter "Eddie" Keher is a retired Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Kilkenny senior team. Born in Inistioge, County Kilkenny, Keher first played competitive hurling whilst at school in St. Kieran's College. Born in Inistioge, County Kilkenny, Keher was the second child born to Stephen and Noreen Keher (née Browne). His father, a member of the Garda Síochána, was a native of Donamon and had played Gaelic football for Roscommon, before later lining out with Kilkenny. Eddie learned the art of hurling at the local national school in Inistioge. Regular evening matches were played between Inistioge's "up streets" and "down streets", or between children from the village and the surrounding countryside. In 1952 the eleven-year-old played for the school when they won the under-14 Roinn B championship. He added a second medal to his collection in 1955, when he was also named player of the match. After completing his Leaving Certificate at St. Kieran's College, Keher later went to Ross's College in Dublin where he studied to be a bank official. He subsequently worked in the Allied Irish Bank branches in St. Stephen's Green and Capel Street in Dublin. Eddie later transferred to the bank's branch in Kilkenny before becoming manager of the AIB branch in Callan, County Kilkenny. Eddie was a founder-member of the No Name Club along with Fr. Tom Murphy, Bobby Kerr and Éamonn Doyle. The organisation was established in 1978 and is devoted to providing alternative venues to public houses for young people and which now has about 30 branches across the country. Keher remains an active member of the No Name Club.

Now, as we all know we Irish are known for enjoying a pint or two and of course, that reputation is somewhat earned. But not everyone indulges and for those that still want to enjoy a night out or a pre-theatre tipple but without the hangover, there's 'The Virgin Mary' on Capel Street. Bobby popped in to say hello to owner Vaughan Yates and get a bit of a lesson in the art of non-alcoholic cocktail making.

Aziz Krouch has been a chef in La Mamounia in Marrakesh (recently featured in Netflix's show Inventing Anna), La Medina in New York, and now he is the head chef of Marrakesh By Mindo on Capel Street in Dublin. As a child, he harvested cumin and made warqa pastry with his grandmother in the Atlas mountains. He has worked in Paris and has a pash for boeuf bourguignon.  From shopping in souks, tagines, and bisteeya, to almond ghriba and honey chebakia pastries at Ramadan, Aziz takes us through a tour of his rich and storied life and his understanding of Moroccan food. Why are certain fruits paired with certain meats? Why is the number 7 considered lucky in Morocco and how does that figure into the seven spices of ras el-hanout and the vegetables of couscous? How do dishes differ if they are from Tangier, Fez, or Casablanca? We chat about chefs like Spanish-born Najat Kaanache and Moha Fedal, who are reviving the best way to cook Moroccan, which is long and slow.  Also, we talk about tea, a staple in Morocco, and which, according to Aziz, just like Moroccan food, requires patience.

It ended with a tweet. Last night, DCC announced the end of pedestrianisation on Capel Street and Parliament Street, by way of a tweet outlining how successful it had been. There was no consultation with the businesses surviving because of the pedestrianisation, or the people living there enjoying their traffic free life. We're talking to the landlady with the biggest, blondest wigs since Peggy Mitchell - the Queen of Ireland, Panti aka Rory O'Neill, about the frustrations of running your business on the whims of tweets, the exhaustion of having essential changes to the city based on outrage and public pressure rather than a vision for how the city can be better and how having a city run by elected officials with no power needs to be overthrown. The City Revolution is a coming......

Stacey invites the gang up to the big city to answer that age-old question: what if illegal daycare, but in New York? Everyone (except Kristy, surprisingly!) is terrible, Ann M. Martin teaches us the true meaning of New York, and we explain the concept of the Harmonicaverse. You're welcome. (If you don't speak German, we're sorry for rambling in German, and if you do speak German, we're even more sorry for our terrible German.) Today's agenda includes: tactical jeggings; the authentic New York murder experience; 843 acres of fun; the Parable Of The Ewe Lamb, updated; Mary Anne's life of crime; an extended discussion of elevator safety; the BSC is weirdly mean about wheat allergies for some reason; Laine's exquisite Broadway revenge; we start another fandom war; Kristy breaks out the Good Turtleneck; Stacey's psychological acumen deserts her; brurnch; being susceptible to gravity is the greatest cringe of all; fun facts about the Dakota building, with one notable exception; unattached hicks from Connecticut; extraordinary dog stunts; an ode to Capel Street; an apology to Jeanne Betancourt.

Few streets in Dublin have the history of Capel Street - and now, it seems destined for major change. This podcast explores a street with an architeictural history stretching back to pre-Georgian times, and at the heart of change in more recent decades.

Dublin City Council is assessing feedback from a public consultation to provide pedestrian space for outdoor dining on Capel Street. Reporter Gail Conway spoke to traders and residents.

Work on pedestrianising several streets in Dublin to facilitate outdoor dining has begun. However, businesses have criticised the plans saying that far more of the city should be pedestrianised. Zoe Hertelendi, owner of Platform 61 on South WIlliam street Rory O'Neill, aka Panti Bliss, owns Panti bar on Capel Street, Eoin O’Sullivan, President of the Cork Business Association and Niall Kierans is the Chairperson with the Love Drogheda Business Improvement District - they all joined the discussion.   Listen and subscribe to Lunchtime Live on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.      Download, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.    You can also listen to Newstalk live on newstalk.com or on Alexa, by adding the Newstalk skill and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'.
