This week on the Organic Matters Podcast Joe Nolan, a relatively recent convert to organics, speaks to Hannah Quinn-Mulligan about downsizing from 1,000 sheep and reintroducing tillage on his family farm in Carlow. He says the economics of the farm have never been better since switching to organics and upscaling the organic tillage side of his business. He grows a range of crops, including red clover, milling oats, oat seed and intercrops of cereals and pulses for animal feed. Joe has also introduced Easycare sheep into his mixed-breed flock, a self-shedding breed that does not require shearing, and speaks about the benefits of the breed and his experience so far.

Over 1.6 billion contactless point of sale (POS) payments, valued at €28.3 billion, were made in shops, restaurants and other retail outlets in the 12 months to June 2025, according to the latest payments analysis published today in Banking & Payments Federation Ireland's (BPFI) Payments Monitor. The report reveals that contactless payments accounted for 87.9% of all POS card payments in H1 2025, with more than half of all contactless payments now made using mobile wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, rather than cards. Speaking on the publication of the latest Payments Monitor, Gillian Byrne, Head of Payments, BPFI, stated: "Looking at the payments trends in today's report, we can see that contactless payments continue to be very popular with Irish consumers, accounting for almost nine out of ten point of sale (POS) card payments made in shops, restaurants and other retail outlets in Ireland in the first half of 2025. The use of smartphones and watches is growing in popularity and is the preferred payment device over physical cards for many consumers. Some 58.2% of contactless payments were made using mobile wallets rather than cards in the first half of 2025 (58.8% in Q2 2025), up from 52% in the same period of 2024. Overall, there were almost 454 million mobile wallet payments in Ireland on Irish cards in H1 2025, up 19.7% on the same period in 2024." Adoption of mobile wallet payments varies by region Looking at regional variations, Ms Byrne added: "Dublin had the highest number of contactless and mobile wallet payments per capita in Ireland at 392 and 238, respectively, in the twelve months ending June 2025, accounting for 39.1% of all contactless payments and 41.8% of mobile wallet payments. Carlow had the second-highest number of contactless payments per capita at 339, followed by Limerick with 299 and Waterford with 289. By contrast, Roscommon had the lowest contactless per capita at 139, behind Offaly with 148 and Monaghan at 157." As cash usage declines, digital euro plans will be key Ms Byrne continued: "As the popularity of contactless payments has grown, cash usage has fallen in recent years, with less than half of POS payments in Ireland made in cash in 2024, according to European Central Bank (ECB) survey data, down from about 54% two years earlier. While cash remains of vital importance to many people, a recent consumer survey commissioned by BPFI shows that 7% of consumers say they don't use cash, while most use it for small payments, with 54% holding less than €50 cash on hand. The ECB has noted the limitations of physical cash in an increasingly digital world and is seeking to complement it with a digital form of cash - the digital euro." "However, there is still some uncertainty as to how a digital euro will work, reflected in the fact that almost one in four (23%) said that they did not plan to use the digital euro, and 14% of consumers said they didn't know how much digital euro they expected to hold. When asked how they would use the digital euro, just under half of respondents stated they would be likely or very likely to use a digital euro for online purchases, sending money to friends or family or for POS payments. The ECB is expected to announce the next steps for the digital euro shortly, although it is likely we will see the rollout of digital euro wallets by banks in the years to come. However, the results of today's research points to the need for raising greater consumer awareness of the digital euro and how consumers could benefit from using it in the future." Efficiency and consumer experience must remain priorities for digital euro rollout She concluded: "Meanwhile, a recent PwC study commissioned by the European Credit Sector Associations estimates that implementing the digital euro could cost euro area banks about €18 billion - before ongoing running costs and enhancements are factored in. The focus must be on efficiency and long-term viability, giving banks and payment providers the...

Students across Ireland saved the equivalent of 1.5 million AA batteries from landfill last school year - the weight of close to four school buses - with one small school collecting nearly 2,000 AA batteries per person. Cloonfour National School in Roscommon, with just 40 pupils, proved that even the smallest schools can make a massive impact as they rallied their families and community to collect used batteries for recycling and win their category in the national WEEE Ireland Schools Battery Recycling Competition. Other winning schools hailed from Galway, Carlow, Roscommon, Waterford and Donegal, with each awarded a €2,000 sports voucher for their efforts. This year's competition launches as the new EU Batteries Regulation come into full effect, bringing higher waste battery collection, recycling and recovery targets. WEEE Ireland is calling on schools, families, and communities nationwide to get involved by gathering used batteries for recycling and help Ireland meet these ambitious goals - while supporting environmental protection and the programme's charity partner LauraLynn Ireland's Children's Hospice. The competition is open to all primary and secondary schools in WEEE Ireland's battery recycling counties that collect at least 10 full 5kg battery boxes. "The new EU Batteries Regulation raises the bar for all of us, and schools across Ireland are proving they are ready to meet that challenge," said Elizabeth O'Reilly, Head of Environmental Compliance at WEEE Ireland. "The incredible efforts of students, teachers, families and local communities will help ensure we meet the minimum recovery targets for materials like cobalt, copper, lead, lithium, and nickel. This ensures these materials are recaptured for use again in manufacturing, as part of a more sustainable and circular battery economy. "Every year we see how collective action can achieve real results - and even the smallest schools, like Cloonfour National School, can make an outsized contribution." Expressing her gratitude, Kerry McLaverty, CEO of LauraLynn said: "The funds we have received from WEEE Ireland as a result of battery recycling programme over the last 14 years of this partnership have had such a positive impact on the children and families who avail of LauraLynn's specialised care and supports all across Ireland. "This year's donation brings the total fundraising to an incredible €610,000. LauraLynn would also like to say a huge thank you WEEE Ireland for the support across this campaign over the last number of years and to everyone who took the time to recycle their batteries. "It may seem like something small, but for the children and families who rely on LauraLynn, and for the environment, it is huge and very impactful."

Our next edition of the Local Selection welcomes Meath-based DJ and producer LAWRENCE to the series. The fast-rising artist has provided us with a live recording taken from his performance at this summer's Forbidden Fruit Afterparty in Wigwam, which took place in May earlier this year. LAWRENCE has spent the last few years meticulously developing his style as a DJ and producer. This has led him to explore a vast range of avenues that tend to fall under the umbrella of underground as well as commercial-leaning sounds. This open-minded outlook saw him play right across the country in Dublin, Limerick, Carlow, Galway, Wicklow and more. Supporting Max Dean, Luke Dean, LB aka Labat, Sunnysoposted and Ammara during this period. LAWRENCE has consistently toggled between a mixture of club shows and raves, while never straying from his focus that is spinning highly energetic dance music. This presence is much the same when it comes to his productions; depending on the mood and atmosphere, he has constructed a discography that generally covers most soundscapes. Jumping across genres, some of which include house, techno, trance, breakbeat and beyond. He has amassed an excess of 300,000 streams currently, with clearly no signs of slowing down. This success has seen his productions earn notable support from LB aka Labat, Future666, Thelma and Faster Horses. LAWRENCE shared some insights regarding this Local Selection, noting that 'This set was super enjoyable for me, I spent my time in the booth feeling very in control of the crowd and receiving great reactions for each track that was brought forward. With LB aka Labat on after me, I wanted to raise up the energy of the room across my slot - punching in as many heaters as possible. The set lingers as possibly my favourite one to date, and getting to meet some of my heroes in the booth whilst playing was pretty cool too.' He has also provided a tracklist with his contribution that can be viewed below: Set List: 1. Vivace - Funk Phenomenon 2. Prizefight - Lick My Deck (Prizefight Refix) 3. LAWRENCE - Space Cowboy 4. Ned Bennett - Steppin' (Faked Up Funk Mix) 5. LAWRENCE - Horny Tool 6. 6Sense x Sam Alfred - Concrete Jungle 7. Onlywithyou, Entasia - Find Ya Way 8.

I 2000 bhí dochtúirí ábalta cúig ladhar a chuir ar ais ar cos páiste óg tar éis eachtra ar chlós súgartha. I 1978 gearradh príosúnacht 3 mhí chuig fear ón chontae a raibh 20 bhliain d'aois tar éis dhá eachtra sa tSionainn. I 1982 bhí marcach idirnáisiúnta ó Éirinn ag an seó talmhaíochta in Inis. Sin Dexy's Midnight Runners le Come On Eileen – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1982. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1965 tháinig The Beatles amach lena cúigiú h-albam agus an fuaimrian de a dara scannán Help. I 2001 tháinig sé amach go raibh Whitney Houston an t-amhránaí leis an méid is mó airgid sa domhain nuair a shínigh sí margadh le Arista Records agus dúradh go raibh sé nach mór 100 milliúin dollar. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Geri Halliwell sa Bhreatain I 1972 agus rugadh aisteoir agus amhránaí Leslie Odom Jr I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1981 agus seo chuid de amhrán.

Last month, a 22-year-old man named Evan Fitzgerald walked into the busy Fairgreen shopping centre in Carlow and opened fire. He then turned his weapon on himself and ended his own life.Following the incident, details quickly emerged about the young man's fascination with guns and his previous run-in with gardaí.And this week, it emerged Fitzgerald had possession of more weapons than previously reported.The shooting, and gardaí's interaction with Fitzgerald before the Carlow incident, have become the subject of much debate and discussion in recent weeks.
