Last week, a Brazilian man who rented out properties across rural Ireland under false pretences and used them as brothels, was jailed for nine years.Ilamar Rodrigues Ribeiro, who pleaded guilty to brothel keeping, possession of child pornography, and money laundering, was linked to rental properties in counties Longford, Kildare, Cavan, Wexford, Roscommon, Leitrim and Carlow.The case highlighted how the sex industry continues to thrive throughout Ireland, while also shining a light on the State's 2017 legislation which made the purchase of sex illegal, but not the sale.The legislation was designed to shift the legal burden towards those who buy sex rather than the sellers, aiming to protect those most at risk within the sex industry. But has this worked?A long-awaited review of the legislation, which was finally published last week, acknowledged that the demand for sexual services has not decreased in recent years.Why is enforcing this legislation so difficult and do those within the sex industry feel more protected by this law?Irish Times reporter Órla Ryan discuses the review of Ireland's contentious sex-work legislation.

South East Technological University (SETU), in collaboration with Carlow County Council and Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, has launched Station House, a new rural innovation hub in Hacketstown, County Carlow. The initiative is part of SETU's TU RISE programme, designed to strengthen regional enterprise by connecting businesses with university expertise and support. As the only university in the region, SETU is committed to driving research and innovation that delivers real impact. Station House is the first of four rural innovation hubs being developed under TU RISE, creating dedicated spaces for enterprise owners to engage with SETU and its partners. The hub will provide opportunities to develop key skills in areas such as innovation, digitalisation, succession planning, and sustainability. Brian Ogilvie, Head of Entrepreneurship and Rural Engagement at SETU, said: "This initiative offers business owners outside of the main urban areas access to SETU's expertise and support. The hub will play an instrumental role in empowering the area, equipping it with the necessary tools and skills for sustainable growth. SETU is committed to working with industry, ensuring that regional businesses can leverage cutting-edge research and enterprise support to help grow their business." By bringing together university resources, partner organisations, and the expertise of local business owners, Station House will serve as a key asset to the local community. Professor Marie Claire Van Hout, Vice President for Research, Innovation and Impact at SETU, highlighted the hub's role in supporting economic growth: "This endeavour aligns with SETU's mission to drive progress, nurture economic growth, and elevate the competitiveness of the region. Station House is the first of four rural-based hubs which SETU is developing under the TU-RISE initiative in the South East region. SETU's experience in fostering rural innovation has shown that these hubs are more than just spaces; they are catalysts for economic growth, equipping micro, small, and medium enterprises with the skills, technology, and networks needed to compete in an increasingly fast-paced global economy." Station House has been developed through a partnership approach, bringing together key stakeholders to support rural enterprise. Coilín O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Carlow County Council, said: "Enterprise spaces and rural hubs are crucial for fostering entrepreneurship and economic resilience. Carlow County Council is proud to deliver this project in partnership with Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, with funding from the Town & Village Renewal Scheme. This investment has also enabled an exciting collaboration with TU RISE at South East Technological University, strengthening the support ecosystem for enterprise development. Station House is a flagship example of how strategic partnerships can drive meaningful opportunities for rural communities, ensuring businesses have the space, resources, and support to start, scale, and succeed." SETU encourages business owners to take advantage of the opportunities available through Station House and the broader TU RISE initiative. SETU TU RISE is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.

New research by Switcher.ie has revealed the best Irish counties for work-life balance. The study is based on data like access to local amenities like primary schools, major supermarkets and leisure centres, services like broadband and mobile speeds, proximity to green spaces and transport routes, plus house prices and crime rates. A new Code of Practice, launched in 2024, gives employees the right to request remote work carer's leave and other flexible arrangements. With 32% working from home at least one day a week during 2022, it looks like the move towards a better work-life balance is here to stay. Top 10 counties for work-life balance Galway claimed the top spot as the best county in Ireland for striking the perfect work-life balance. With surprisingly affordable house prices outside the city, it offers a winning mix of excellent local amenities and good connectivity for hybrid working, plus lush green spaces and a scenic coastline to boost well-being. Here's a snapshot of the top 10. For the full ranking and more top 5 winners, see Ireland's best counties for work-life balance. Most affordable Leitrim was the most affordable county to buy a house in our study. House prices were based on the median house price in October 2024 (Residential Property Price Index). Top 5 affordable counties to live & work: Leitrim, Longford, Donegal, Roscommon and Cavan For families Sligo has taken the top spot for the best county to balance work with a family. To calculate the best town to work with a family, we summed index scores for house prices, crime rate, number of GP surgeries and primary schools. Top 5 counties for families to live & work: Sligo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Mayo and Donegal For hybrid working Dublin was the best place for hybrid working; the city counties of Cork and Galway also performed well. To calculate the best town for hybrid working, we summed index scores for average broadband and mobile speeds and distance to major roads and bus stops. Top 5 counties for hybrid working: Dublin, Cork, Laois, Galway and Kildare For health, fitness & well-being Tipperary came in tops for access to leisure facilities and green spaces, essential for achieving a good quality of life.

This means that workers with families or caregiving responsibilities can now seek remote or flexible work options, providing a better quality of life and even financial benefits. Property price is often a crucial factor for house buyers, but broadband and mobile connectivity, easy access to local amenities, and proximity to green spaces can make all the difference when juggling work with family or other commitments. Switcher's research highlights several counties across Ireland that offer young professionals and working families a combination of affordability, an appealing way of life, and better-than-ever broadband and mobile connectivity for remote working. Our top performers spanned the country, with Galway and Sligo on the scenic west coast, Cork in the south, Roscommon and Westmeath in the heart of Ireland and Carlow and Dublin in the industrious east, to name just a few.

But I also wanted to meet the man himself and find out how it all got started, how he manages to call it right so often, his thoughts on our changing climate, conspiracy theorists and what they say to him, and of course what he thought about my gift grub sketch about him!Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

When it comes to the Irish weather, when you need to know what is happening, there's only one man to turn to. Alan O'Reilly has become a Rockstar of the Weather Forecasting World and this morning's Gift Grub was dedicated to him. Hit play now to hear the full episode.

The cold snap has just about passed, with a yellow weather alert for low temperature/ice in place for Clare and the rest of the country expiring at noon today. The cold weather has seen countless services impacted throughout Ireland, with school closures in counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, Carlow, Kilkenny and Laois. Snowfall last weekend saw train and bus services in Clare cancelled or delayed, while water and electricity outages were experienced right across the county due to subzero temperatures. With this level of disruption to our lives caused by the bitterly cold conditions, the question must be asked, does Ireland need to be better prepared for extreme weather conditions? To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bodyke Fine Gael TD and former Councillor, Joe Cooney and Quilty Fianna Fáil Councillor, Michael Shannon. Photo (c): Vastram via Canva
