Fixed penalty notices for littering are set to increase to €250 from September, an increase of €100 as part of a Government crackdown on littering and illegal dumping.Recent figures show that the number of fines for littering have reduced in parts of Dublin.In 2024, there were 397 fines issued in South Dublin County Council, compared with 517 in 2022. Figures for Dublin City Council show that 296 fines were issued in 2024 compared with 1,080 the previous year.But, are steeper fines enough to curtail littering?Aileen Browne, Fine Gael Councillor in Charleville in Cork, joins Shane to discuss.
The first bloke to give me a wrap for the talents of Justin Sheehan was John O'Shea. It was 2000 and John's solo training career had just begun at Warwick Farm. Sheehan was then 28 and although struggling with weight issues, was quickly establishing himself with some very discerning trainers. O'Shea described him as an “innately talented rider.” Just eight years later Justin's career was all over as the ravages of the sweat box began to affect his health. In his relatively short time as a professional jockey he stamped himself as one of the best in the land. The 54 year old Queensland born horseman joins us on the podcast this week to look back on the highs and lows of an amazing twenty one year career as a professional jockey. Justin begins by talking about some recent health issues. He looks back on fifteen years as an in demand trackwork rider at Warwick Farm. Justin has clear recollections of his final day at the races- two unplaced rides at Rosehill in 2008. His final win at Kembla Grange remains near and dear to his heart. He takes us back to childhood and memories of the equine skills of his late father. The former jockey recalls the family's move from Charleville to Dalby and an early introduction to thoroughbreds, albeit at an illegal age. He looks back on his first race ride, his first win and the experience gained riding on some dry and dusty tracks in the Northern Territory. Sheehan remembers his excitement when awarded a life changing NT Government Apprentice Grant which took him to Adelaide for a three month stint with trainer Danny Callaghan. He looks back on a freak run of success and the opportunity to partner a marvellous old sprinter in nine wins. Justin remembers his transfer to Kembla Grange trainer Bernie Howlett. He recalls being very impressed with the talents of John O'Shea when the former Queenslander first began his training career at Warwick Farm. Justin talks of his two race rides on budding champion Saintly. He talks of his engagement to Ann Maree and the beginning of an association with top filly Kenbelle, then trained by his future father-in-law Kevin Robinson. Justin takes us through his 1996 Oaks win on Kenbelle. Justin remembers two race rides on “champion in waiting” Tie The Knot. To this day he wonders what might have been, had things worked out a little differently. The former ace jockey remembers with sadness the horrific Ipswich race fall in which eight horses crashed in the backstraight. On a brighter note he looks back on his sudden engagement for genuine sprinter Adam and a Gr 1 win first up. This was the horse at the centre of his first overseas trip. We devote ample time to Justin's review of his exciting involvement with Universal Prince- four Gr 1 wins and one freakish fall in Singapore. He pays tribute to three other talented horses he got to ride for different trainers. Justin's unrelenting weight struggles were well known to racing people. He looks back on the horrors of constant wasting. Justin and Ann Maree are the proud parents of 23 year old Darby Sheehan. Dad says Darby hasn't inherited the racing genes. This is an interesting chat with a former jockey who left an indelible mark in a brief but brilliant career.

Send us Fan MailIn this chilling episode of Shadows of Ireland, we take you deep inside Charleville Castle—one of Ireland's most haunted locations—for a paranormal investigation that delivered some of our most compelling evidence yet.While investigating the infamous staircase landing—where the young spirit Harriet tragically lost her life—we experienced undeniable activity tied to both Harriet and the mysterious spirit known as Henry. Intelligent responses, eerie timing, and an atmosphere that shifted in real time… this was not just residual energy.But that was only the beginning.Inside the castle's notorious Red Room, Logan made direct contact with a well-known spirit named James—resulting in one of the most intense and focused communication sessions we've ever captured.We also dive into our stay at Kinnitty Castle and explore how it, along with Leap Castle, may be connected through a powerful ley-line—raising the question: Is there something beneath these locations that amplifies paranormal activity?This episode blends real investigation audio, historical context, and raw human experience as we explore fear, energy, and the unknown in one of Ireland's most haunted regions.
Peter Moody joins Sam and Leon for a cracking episode that swings from outback roads to Randwick's biggest stage. Moody breaks down the jaw‑dropping Doncaster win by his $10,000 filly — “to see a three‑year‑old filly… put them to the sword was quite remarkable” — and explains how a Rockhampton bargain is now being compared to the greats.The boys dive into Moody's bush upbringing, the 12‑hour road trip from hell, Harold & Beryl's caravan near‑miss, and the emotional moment he stopped to “have a beer” with his late father under the old gum tree — “we always pull up and have a beer with him on the way past” .Moody also opens up on vindication after the sport's darkest chapter, the rise of training partner Catherine Coleman, and where his superstar filly heads next — from Queensland sunshine to a Golden Eagle assault. A big, warm, funny, honest chat with one of racing's great storytellers.
The pressure was on Cork to secure promotion to Division 1 for the first time since 2016 and they rose to the challenge in Omagh.A great start meant they were up by a point having played into the strong breeze and, after a nervy spell midway through the second half they kicked on, helped by the introduction of Brian Hurley.Hurley, Ruairí Deane, Ian Maguire and Brian O'Driscoll were in action when the Rebels last competed at the top grade and have stayed the course. Going up is a massive boost before the Munster championship and a great achievement by John Cleary and his management team, who were heavily questioned in recent seasons.Can they now beat Meath in Croke Park to add a bit of silverware? Hopefully but it doesn't matter, because the hard work has been done in coming out of a very competitive division and gives Cork football a platform next season and beyond.The Cork ladies football are also into a league final. With a game to spare to boot.On the hurling front, we wondered if Cork would experiment at the weekend given Offaly were already relegated. Instead, they picked a championship-level line-up and smashed the visitors for six goals. Barry Walsh, despite the U20 game coming up away to Tipp this week, was given a half and raised a green flag while the return of Padraig Power from injury to rifle two points was a boost. Ciarán Joyce was redeployed at full-back as we predicted but hardly tested. Eoin Downey continues to look the part at wing-back though and Mark Coleman was full of energy on the other flank.There wasn't a lot learned from a facile victory but the crowd of nearly 20,000 is a testament to the incredible backing the hurlers have. They'll pack out TUS Gaelic Grounds for the league final in what will be a belter with a Limerick side who looked terrific at times against Galway but also could have been caught late on.There's also a round-up of the latest league action with Charleville grabbing their second victory in a row as they look to build on an impressive championship in 2025.Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

For the first time in their history, St. Cuan's Castleblakeney are All-Ireland camogie champions after they won the Senior C decider in McDonagh Park, Nenagh on Saturday (21st February 2026). Two early Emma Barrett goals put them in control before Clodagh Jordan added another before half-time. And the north Galway school showed their resilience during the second period to hold off a determined Charleville fightback. After the game, St. Cuan's joint manager Darren Daly chatted to Galway Bay FM's Eanna O'Reilly.
St. Cuan's Castleblakeney are 60 minutes away from a first-ever All-Ireland schools title this Saturday (21st February 2026) as they clash with Cork's St. Mary's Charleville in the Senior C Final. The Galway school have contested five previous finals without success. Darren Daly, who is joint manager with Noreen Coen and Declan Connolly, caught up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly to look ahead to the fixture and tells us how preparations are going. == Throw-in at Nenagh on Saturday is 2pm and we'll have updates here on Galway Bay FM.

Knuckles is back with Charleville's finest, Trev 966, and this time the big banger yarns take a detour into posties, planks and pure fear of heights.It starts light – Knuckles giving a shoutout to his gun postie Jeffro getting CTC hats overnight – then Trev drops a proper true yarn about the local postal manager Tom, a paint job, and a fall straight out of Cliffhanger.At 14, Trev's up on trestles helping Tom paint his house when something goes horribly wrong. One second they're cutting in around the windows, the next Tom brushes past Trev, falls from the plank, and locks eyes with him mid-air on the way to the ground. Broken ribs, an ambulance ride, and the sound of that “oof” has stuck with Trev ever since.Asked to go back and finish the job, he climbs onto the same plank, feels it rock, climbs straight back down and quits on the spot:“You can tell Tom to paint his own fucking house. I've quit.”From there it's a lifetime of being no good with heights:Boys on site stirring him up because he's “terrible on roofs”Walking sheets on a high roof in Mackay, promising if he falls, someone's coming with himAss cheeks “like suction caps on the roof” if he slipsJust when he thinks he's getting better, he's back on a school job walking trusses along a fully extended plank. The boys grab the truss out of his hands and Trev suddenly realises he's got nothing to hang onto. Frozen in the middle of the gap, he watches a mate fall off the top plate and break his neck on the ground below. That's it. Line in the sand.By the end of it, Trev's made peace with his fate:“This is me. I'm a concreter now. I'll just stick to the ground stuff.”It's a dark, funny, very real look at how one bad moment can turn a 14-year-old Charleville kid into a lifelong ground-dweller – even if he still climbs into the big bangers for a living.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Knuckles is back with Charleville's own Trev 966, unpacking how he went from a kid out Quilpie way to one of the best big-banger drivers in the country. From learning the Roadranger with zero experience to seismic drilling runs through QLD, VIC and SA, Trev shares yarns about bog holes, water trucks, stolen cruisers and the tough old Louisville that made him. A proper truckie origin story, raw, funny, and all bush wisdom.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Knuckles welcomes Trev 966 back to the Proper True Yarn Podcast after the last appearance literally melted the camera. Fresh off the Get Yourself Checked gala, Trev rolls in from Charleville with a new batch of chaos.He kicks off with a “quick pigging mission” that turns into full-blown PTSD courtesy of a useless pig dog named Ernie – the only dog on earth more interested in chewing Trev than the boar. From there it's into the truckie world: big bangers, road trains, the Toowoomba show getting held up, and Trev's verdict on his new rig – “Fuck your 90, buy a hino.”Between sledging each other (no-neck vs no-arse), mixing up Akkos and Inters, and yard blokes who reckon “P is for Park and E is for Empty,” it's classic Proper True Yarn gear: outback characters, dumb situations, and stories you just couldn't make up if you tried.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

The All-Stars were dished out on Friday night with Darragh Fitzgibbon earning his third, and Brian Hayes, Ciarán Joyce and Seán O'Donoghue their first each.That haul was a fair reflection of how the season panned out for the Rebels, the league and Munster titles secured but Liam MacCarthy wrestled from their grasp at Croke Park by Tipp.It could have been very different if Cork had landed the big prize, Mark Coleman, Patrick Collins, Alan Connolly and Tim O'Mahony all looked set to be honoured until that second half.The Echo Podcast crew look at how Cork have fared at the awards in recent years and which hurlers have picked up the most All-Stars overall, with John Fenton, Jimmy Barry Murphy and Tony O'Sullivan leading the way on five each.The new hurling management is headed up by Ben O'Connor, who collected two All-Stars, and Ronan Curran, who has three.Also on this week's podcast, there's a review of the weekend action, which included Munster football victories for Aghabullogue and Buttevant, junior quarter-final wins for the Ballinora hurlers and Charleville footballers, and an U21 semi-final success for Douglas.Aghabullogue and Buttevant laid down impressive markers but the Mid Cork side have a hurling final with Bandon to negotiate next Sunday before they turn their focus back to the big ball.Premier Senior champions St Finbarr's are in Munster action next weekend, facing a tough trip to Clonmel Commercials, while it doesn't get harder for Sars than an away game against Ballygunner, who are on a revenge mission.Kilbrittain and Ballinhassig fly the Cork hurling flag and, after a decent break since their county final successes, they should be in a strong position to deliver in the province.All the games are previewed, as well as the Intermediate A Football final replay between Ilen Rovers and Ballinora.The Junior A Championships are down to the last four.

The Cork club hurling quarter-finals and relegation playoffs didn't disappoint with the Barrs taking the headlines by dethroning Imokilly. Ger Cunningham's side had shown mixed form in the group stages but with Brian Hayes back as their attacking spearhead, they produced their best when it mattered. Ethan Twomey was superb at the heart of the midfield and their defence was collectively brilliant to neuter Imokilly's top guns. Next up is a clash with favourites Sars who shook off a dogged Charleville, helped by Jack O'Connor's 0-5 from play. On the other side of the draw Blackrock, the top seeds, will face a Midleton outfit who produced a storming fourth quarter to reel in Glen Rovers. Cormac Beausang's two goals were crucial while Patrick Horgan, with 2-9, shoot the lights out yet again for the northsiders but they'll be disappointed to have missed a great chance to reach the semis. At Senior A, there were no upsets with Bride Rovers and Blarney powering into the semi-finals. Carrigtwohill and Castlelyons await and all four clubs will feel they've the talent and form to land the title. In the lower grades, Ballincollig and Cloyne, after a 24-hour delay, secured passage to the Premier Intermediate semis, Aghabullogue and Bandon are through in Intermediate A, and at Premier Junior, Cloughduv and Ballygarvan, are into the last four. Erin's Own and Newtown will have to do it again in the Premier Senior relegation playoff while Castlelmartyr, Courceys, Youghal and Barryroe all won their deciders to stay up. There was no shortage of contenders for Hurler of the Week, including Turlough O'Neill, whose scores helped Newtown avoid the drop against Erin's Own, Damien Cahalane for his defensive prowess for the Barrs, and Conor Cahill, who nailed 0-5 for Cloyne. It's a huge weekend on the club football front with the knockout stages taking place and we pick out the matches to catch in the various grades, with Castlehaven v St Finbarr's the main attraction, along with Éire Óg against Bishopstown and Kanturk-Knocknagree in Senior A.

What's it like to land in 1980s Brisbane with no email, no fax and a suitcase full of hope? From measuring heads in Charleville to rewriting the global playbook on breast cancer risk, one of Australia's leading voices in cancer genetics shares what's changed, what hasn't and why science is always personal. This episode is for anyone curious about the people behind the petri dishes — and the persistence behind the publications.
We're down to the knockout stages of the Cork club hurling championships after a bumper three days of brilliant matches with a mix of superb performances and some shocks. Glen Rovers and Sarsfields served up a top-class Premier Senior encounter live on TG4 despite both teams being qualified beforehand, with young gun Barry O'Flynn's two goals proving critical. Sars now progress to a showdown with Charleville. Patrick Horgan offered a reminder of his brilliance with a haul of 2-10 and the Glen take on Midleton in the quarter-finals. Carrigtwohill continue to be the form team in the Senior A tier after stitching four first-half goals to end Killeagh's campaign. Brothers Sean and Patrick Walsh are lifting for Denis Walsh's side. There was an upset where high-flying Bride Rovers were grounded by their near-neighbours Watergrasshill, who missed on the knockout stages on scoring difference despite two wins in the group. At Premier Intermediate, Dungourney are the only unbeaten club after Jack Leahy led their comeback in a cracking derby with Lisgoold. Ger Collins and Darragh O'Sullivan clipped the late points for Ballinhassig to beat Kilworth and snatch the other semi-final berth at that level.

Even at 60-0 up, we were all still a bit nervous – and, as things played out, not entirely without reason. Still, it was a convincing enough win in the end, and we progress to the semi-final to keep the dream alive. Now, a Giant chance at redemption awaits down in Sydney. They've beaten us in both encounters this season as well as our one finals encounter, so the task couldn't get much harder. We may be doing it without Jack Payne too, with his strong return to senior footy cut short with a first-half injury. Also this week: -Dom's checking in from Charleville -150 games of Oscar McInerney -We're doing another watch party! And much more!
