The Department of Education is preparing to review primary school hours for the first time in decades, with changes to the school day for younger pupils among the issues under consideration.    While many parents would welcome an end to staggered collection times, others argue the focus should be on reducing pressure in the classroom rather than increasing time spent there.   Chair of the Oireachtas Education Committee, Meelick Fianna Fáil TD and former teacher Cathal Crowe has been advocating for a school system inspired by the Finnish model, with more regular breaks, a streamlined curriculum and less homework.   Earlier, Alan Morrissey spoke with Cathal to discuss the review and the future of primary education in Ireland.

In a recent episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence welcome Cathal Quinn, CEO of MOY Roof Waterproofing System Specialists, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about resilience, redemption, and the experiences that shape great leaders. Today, Cathal leads an industry-recognized business supporting critical infrastructure and data centers, but his journey to executive leadership was far from conventional. In a candid discussion, Cathal reflects on his early ambitions in athletics, the struggles that led him to the darkest point of his life, his battle with severe gambling addiction, and the long road of accountability, healing, and purpose that followed. Long before stepping into the business world, Cathal was a teenager driven by basketball. At just twelve years old, he was working illegal pub shifts to afford his basketball shoes, finding purpose and belonging on the court. Those early experiences shaped the values that continue to define his leadership today: accountability, resilience, teamwork, and the ability to move forward after failure. For Cathal, sports taught him an important lesson: mistakes are inevitable, but self-pity cannot be allowed to define the outcome: “When you make a mistake, don't you dare hang your head and feel sorry for yourself... There's no time for self-pity." However, Cathal's journey also brought him to an incredibly difficult chapter. After reaching what he describes as rock bottom, he found himself standing at the edge of the Cliffs of Moher, contemplating ending his life. In that moment, it was not confrontation or judgment that changed his path, but compassion from an off-duty police officer who approached him with empathy and understanding. That encounter became a defining moment in Cathal's life, reinforcing the power of human connection and the importance of meeting people where they are: “And that sentence that sticks with me to today... was probably the first time in my life that I remember an adult not being overly authoritative, and the words that I remember was, ‘You do not have to do this today.'” Following treatment and the support of a mentor who recognized his potential, Cathal began the difficult process of rebuilding his life. Years later, he returned to MOY — the company he had once left — and took on the responsibility of leading it forward. His story is not simply one of overcoming adversity, but of committing every day to becoming a better person, parent, and leader. Reflecting on his transformation, Cathal shares: “I am so proud of the person I am today. I'm so happy with who I am today... I'm doing everything in my power today to be the best version I can be of myself, and that's all I can truly do.” Cathal Quinn's story is a powerful reminder that leadership is not defined by a perfect path, but by the courage to confront challenges, learn from the past, and continue moving forward. His journey demonstrates the impact of second chances, personal accountability, and the resilience required to create meaningful change. Connect with Cathal Quinn on LinkedIn to continue the conversation and learn more about his experiences, insights, and leadership journey.

If you went back in time to an Irish village or settlement the first place you should go was surprisingly, the forge.The village forge was the ancient internet, the pub, the pharmacy, and occasionally the battlefield briefing room. It's where you would get the weekly news.The blacksmith dealt in Iron, Information and Anvils, but also Fairies, Cures and Curses. Cathal and Luke tell tales of fairy warfare, three-legged horses, magical purses, enchanted forge water and Holy Women's curses.The blacksmith's power wasn't just in his physical strength, but in his skill of sorcery. They could cure illnesses, stop bleeding with secret charms, banish rats, break curses, and even bargain with the fairy world.From ancient gods like Goibniu the divine smith to the humble village forge where neighbours gathered for stories, craic and gossip, the forge stands at the precipice between the human world and the supernatural.Video References:Hands: Powers of the Metal:https://youtu.be/jUP8W3xfezY?is=-UNtfZVcmouHvhw_Last of the Dublin Blacksmiths:https://youtu.be/FPMe73RgO4U?is=PuPwrdHsyHLyKzmTA Blacksmith Retires, Ballymahon Com Longford:https://youtu.be/uhorleq7C2s?is=HkfwStz2FILHRGkp

PRIEST HUNTERS, during Ireland's Penal Laws these were bounty hunters paid to track down Catholic priests, going from village to village looking for the rewards offered for their holy heads. Haunted houses, swarms of black beetles, priests disguised as gardeners, bloodhounds chasing clergy across the countryside, highwaymen turned heroes, and assassinations which quite literally backfire.Whilst Mass Rocks (where people worshipped in secret) are widely discussed,  Cathal and Luke wanted to know more about the people they were hiding from.

Annette is in London! She and Cathal are finally in the same studio for this listener questions episode.First up, Annette's three takeaways from Cathal's conversation with behavioural scientist Leidy Klotz, author of In a Good Place. The headline: every workspace has to meet three psychological needs. Agency, growth and connection. They get into why hot-desking quietly erodes all three, the simplest confidence trick going (visit the room before a high-stakes meeting), and how to improve a workspace when no renovation budget is coming.Then a question from listener Helen, whose husband is working around the clock. She can feel them losing connection, and he keeps telling her the same thing: you don't understand, I don't have a choice. Cathal and Annette have both been close to this one, and they share practical ways to help without trying to fix.Plus: Annette's Camino de Santiago walk, two black toes and all.Next week: Roger Martin, author of Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works.Got a work dilemma for a future episode?

Most workplaces obsess over paint colours, open-plan vs closed offices, and how many days people should be back at their desks. They skip the only question that actually matters.This week Cathal sits down with Leidy Klotz, engineering professor and behavioural scientist at the University of Virginia. Leidy is the author of SUBTRACT (translated into eight languages) and his new book IN A GOOD PLACE breaks down the three psychological needs your physical surroundings either feed or starve: agency, growth, and connection.They cover:- The nursing home study where control over your space changed survival rates- Why refugees in "half-finished houses" recover faster than those given fully built homes- The boss who accidentally locked his team out of the only good conference room- What the negotiation research says about arriving 20 minutes early- The single most damaging mistake organisations make when designing workplaces- Why space is one of the only things in your life you can actually changeLeidy Klotz, PhD is a behavioural scientist and engineering professor at the University of Virginia. His research has been published in Nature and Science. Before academia he played professional soccer and designed schools in New Jersey. His new book IN A GOOD PLACE: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive is out now.Find Leidy: leidyklotz.comNew episodes of Better at Work every Thursday, 7am GMT.

ERSS, Carrick on Suir 1-3 St. Cuan's College, CastleblakEney (AET) Joaquin Garcia (10),                                             Kealan Murray (9, 63), Darragh Booth (65)   ST. CUAN'S COLLEGE, CASTLEBLAKENEY were crowned 2026 FAI Schools First Year ‘B' Boys National Cup Champions following a pulsating encounter against Edmund Rice Secondary School, Carrick on Suir in Killavilla United FC, Roscrea yesterday afternoon (Thursday, May 21). Two quickfire goals in the opening ten minutes saw the sides at a stalemate for the remainder of the game despite some good chances from both parties to take the win!  However, the versatility of both goalkeepers Sam Carmondy and Iarlaith Griffin, kept the contest alive. It took extra time to decide the winner, and it was the Galway side that edged out with two goals in the opening period. St. Cuan's manager Cathal Farrell gave his reaction to Galway Bay FM afterwards. ==

Q&A episode: Annette synthesises Wendy Smith's both/and thinking, Cathal reflects on Bob Geldof's recent speech on empathy in leadership, and we answer Lou's question on preparing for her first competency-based interview.Following last week's conversation with Wendy Smith (Both/And Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems), Annette walks through the takeaways that stuck with her. The Fab Four: assumptions, boundaries, comfort, dynamics. The two metaphors at the heart of Wendy's framework: the tightrope walker who splits attention and chops between competing priorities, and the mule, the integrated both/and solution that's stronger than a horse and smarter than a donkey.Cathal and Annette get into why so many of us end up tightrope walking at work without meaning to. The "stop starting, start finishing" trap. The way leaders accumulate priorities until everything is urgent and nothing is finished. And why complexity, the thing most of us instinctively dread, can actually be a source of energy if you have the right framework to meet it with.Then a swerve into Bob Geldof's recent awards speech on empathy and what's gone missing in global leadership. Cathal pulls the thread: the both/and case for caring about people and running a business well. They're not in tension.The listener question this week comes from Lou, who's preparing for her first ever competency-based interview and has no idea where to start. Annette lays out the framework:→ Prepare 5 examples from your career, things you're genuinely proud of→ Cover real range: a difficult stakeholder, a deadline crunch, an unsolvable problem→ Structure each one with situation, action, outcome→ Connect each example back to your core skills and values→ Practise out loud, to camera or to a mirror, so the interview isn't the first time you've heard these words in your own voicePlus a look at what's coming next week: Leidy Klotz, author of Subtract, on his new book In a Good Place: How the Spaces Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive.Got a career dilemma you'd like us to tackle in a future Q&A?

The drama was something else!Cathal joined Dave for As Seen On Your Screen and the lads chat about the final of I'm A Celeb.

What if the colleague who drives you up the wall is the one your organisation can't afford to lose?Cathal and Annette are back for a listener-questions special, picking up where last week's conversation with David [surname TBC], former Head of Design at Tesla, left off. The idea that stuck: every team has Mad Hatters and White Rabbits. The Mad Hatters bring the wild, disruptive, sometimes maddening ideas. The White Rabbits keep things running on time. Most organisations over-index on one and quietly punish the other, which is exactly how you lose the creative edge that made you competitive in the first place.Cathal shares why the framework hit home, why psychological safety matters more than surface-level politeness, and why "I don't agree with you" should be a welcome sentence in any good team. He also references his recent LinkedIn post on the thing nobody tells you when you become a manager for the first time: there's no handbook. You're going to get it wrong sometimes. That's fine, as long as you keep showing up and keep supporting the ideas.Then the listener question. Michelle wrote in from retail. She's covering two to three people's roles on her normal shifts and being called in on her days off. She's drained. She can't say no. She's breaking. Annette and Cathal unpack it honestly and the reframe is the gold: the days-off problem isn't the real problem. The root cause is the workload. And there's a way to raise it with her manager that doesn't torch the relationship, with a Plan B ready if it doesn't land.Expect the glass-of-water stress analogy, a useful reframe on supporting failure at work, and a reminder that the people who held the retail and service economy together through Covid deserve better than being treated as infinitely elastic.In this episode:Why Mad Hatters and White Rabbits need each otherThe LinkedIn post Cathal wrote about becoming a managerWhy feeling threatened by a different viewpoint is a trapThe glass of water and what stress does when you hold it too longHow Michelle can raise the workload conversation, with a Plan B readyChapters:00:00 Welcome back01:35 Recap: David on curiosity at Tesla05:38 The Mad Hatter and the White Rabbit11:06 Why entrepreneurial thinkers need air cover12:15 No handbook for being a manager14:05 Why supporting failure is a leadership skill15:03 Listener question: Michelle is running on empty19:08 The glass of water test20:14 How to reframe the conversation upwards25:20 Respect for frontline workers26:15 Next week: Jennifer Moss returnsMentioned in this episode:Last week's interview with David Imai, former Head of Design at Tesla (Apple, Spotify, YouTube)Cathal's recent LinkedIn post on becoming a managerNext week: Jennifer Moss, author of Why Are We Here?

For 14 years, David Imai was a Design Director at Tesla, helping shape every car the company put on the road. Before that, GM and Opel. Today he advises the startups building the future of transport and robotics, and he's obsessed with one question: why do the best ideas keep dying inside big organisations?His answer will surprise you.Every team has two types of people. The Mad Hatter, who throws out wild, half-formed, maybe-genius ideas. And the White Rabbit, who gets things done on time. Most workplaces only protect one of them, and it's almost always the wrong one. That's why your best thinking never makes it out of the meeting room.In this episode, David sits down with Cathal (his old London housemate, small world) to unpack the three things every curious culture needs. Why psychological safety isn't optional. Why Tesla sends its robotics engineers to Disney Imagineering. And the one habit that separates teams that innovate from teams that talk about innovating.If you've ever walked out of work wondering why nobody listens to your best ideas, press play. This is the episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to the Mad in America podcast, my name is James. Today, we are discussing the experiences of people who have attempted to stop taking psychiatric drugs. These experiences are captured in a survey undertaken by the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Joining me to talk about this work are Cathal Cadogan and Agnes Higgins, both from Trinity College. Cathal is an Associate Professor in Practice of Pharmacy at Trinity College. His research focuses on developing supports to help people make informed decisions about starting and stopping psychiatric medication. He was recently involved in a priority setting partnership to identify priorities for future research on reducing and discontinuing psychiatric medicines. Agnes is a nurse, researcher and academic who has recently retired as a professor in mental health at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Trinity College. She is a former Chairperson of the Board of Mental Health Reform, Ireland's leading service user organization, campaigning for improvements in mental health services. She is also currently a board member of Kyrie Farm, an innovative initiative combining the benefits of nature, meaningful participation, community and therapy to support mental health recovery. Their work is part of a wider examination of priorities for future research on reducing and stopping psychiatric medication, and we'll talk about this as well as the findings of their survey. We'll also talk about the role that pharmacists could potentially play when people are considering stopping their psychiatric drugs. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.
