Ciarán Donnelly, senior vice president for International Programs at International Rescue Committee, breaks down the latest news from Sudan, where the country has been experiencing a civil war since April 2023 amid a power struggle between its army and a powerful paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

For most people, the process of buying a house can be quite disheartening. The lack of housing supply across the country means houses often sell for way above asking price and usually after an excruciating bidding war. While the Government promises to address the supply issue, is there anything that needs to change about the way we buy houses? In the UK, a major reform of the house-buying system has been proposed by the Labour Government. The plan aims to cut costs, reduce delays and make the whole process more efficient for buyers and sellers. Under the new plan, sellers would have to provide key information about the house upfront. Binding contracts could also be introduced earlier. It would cut the costs for first time buyers and speed up the process by up to four weeks - so should Ireland follow suit?In today's episode, Ciarán Mulqueen, who runs the social media account Crazy House Prices, takes a look at how the process works in other countries and whether something similar could be introduced here.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

This week's episode of Inside Business sees host Ciarán Hancock joined in studio by Niall Tallon, chief executive of Irish telecoms group Imagine. A minor in the Irish market, the company recently made a bold move offering cheap fibre broadband products along with a promise not to increase those prices for the next five years. This is designed to double its customer base by 2030 as part of a multi-million investment in growing the business. It's a brave strategy given that Imagine has just 35,000 existing customers and big competitors such as Eir, Vodafone, Three and Virgin Media who control a large chunk of the market between them.Niall explains how the offer will work and the business case behind it, as well as discussing the company's Armenian owners and how he came to run a telco with a chequered history that was originally founded by the late Irish entrepreneur Sean Bolger. Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stormont Education Minister Paul Givan has been the focus of attention and anger over his visit to Israel. The UUP have lost a councillor, Linzi McLaren resigned her seat and quit the party citing concerns over Irish language policy and the absence of female voices. Plans are afoot to install street signage in Greek, Mandarin and Hebrew in Belfast – but will it actually happen? And finally, who keeps trying to flood Stormont?

The Irish language and hurling should be accessible and a source of joy to many. Has this always been the case? Is it even the case now? Or are they ring-fenced? Taught in specific environments - school and GAA clubs that happen to offer hurling, which are not so plentiful in much of the country?But what could happen if the language and game of hurling were not restricted to these environments? How could they begin to thrive if attempts to make them more widely available were backed rather than thwarted?These are some of the questions tackled by Ciarán Murphy of the Second Captains in his new book, Old Parish, where he takes up hurling in his early 40s.Today, he chats with Sinead about the humbling effects of competitive hurling, and the life-affirming adventure of returning to his father's club in the Waterford Gaeltacht to live, write and hurl.

The Fethard-on-Sea Boycott was a notorious event in Irish history. In 1957, Sheila Cloney, the Protestant wife of a Catholic farmer, fled her home with her children. Associates of Ian Paisley hid Sheila and her children in Belfast before eventually getting them to Scotland. Sheila Cloney left the Wexford village after refusing to bow to the demands of the local Catholic clergy to educate her daughter as Catholics. In response, the priests launched a boycott of Fethard's Protestant shopkeepers and farmers. Tim Fanning tells Ciarán Dunbar the story of Sheila Cloney of the boycott of Protestants in Fethard-on-Sea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Rev Ian Paisley rose to prominence as the face of hardline unionism but the first time some would have heard of him would have been in connection with Maura Lyons. In 1956, the west Belfast teenager was smuggledto Scotland by members of the Free Presbyterian Church. She was a 15-year-old Catholic girl who converted to Free Presbyterianism, in the face of the strong objections of her family. They accused the Rev Ian Paisley of “abduction”. At one point, he gathered his supporters in the Ulster Hall to listen to a recording of Maura's voice at the Ulster Hall, renouncing her Catholic faith as a “religion of fear and dread”. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by journalist Malachi O'Doherty, who grew up in west Belfast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Having been found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison, Sayeed and Halawa are taken to separate jails in Ireland to serve out their sentences. Deprived of their freedom, and with their children now placed in the care of relatives, life in prison is hard beyond belief. But they cannot give up hope - and from inside their prison cells, they begin to fight back to get justice… If you have any information or knowledge about this story please email us documentaries@rte.ie or investigations@rte.ie or you can give us an anonymous tip via www.rte.ie/firstconvictionCredits: First Conviction is hosted by Ruth Negga.

The latest BelTel / LucidTalk polling reveals Sinn Féin keep the top spot as both the DUP and UUP see a slight boost in popularity, but the trend is worrying for Alliance. But Almost half of unionists say they would vote for Reform UK. And as talk of a border poll refuses to go away, most people want to know what exactly the criteria for calling one would be. And finally, as Catherine Connolly wins the presidential elections down south, the polling reveals how NI voters would have voted.

New research has highlighted Irish audiences' evolving attitudes to harmful and offensive media content, with two-in-three adults (67%) reporting that they did not have concerns about seeing or hearing potentially harmful or offensive media content themselves. However, among adults who are parents, a majority (52%) were concerned. The research on Audience Perspectives on Harmful and Offensive Media Content was conducted by Coimisiún na Meán and the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), with the Ombudsman for Children's Office designing and facilitating the focus groups for children. This research examines the attitudes of adults and children to content on television, radio, cinema, home entertainment and video-on-demand services. It also looks at their perspectives regarding the regulation of such content. The research consisted of a desk-based review, a nationally representative survey of adults and focus group discussions with adults and children. Speaking on the launch of the research, Aoife MacEvilly, Coimisiún na Meán Broadcasting and Video-on-Demand Commissioner, said: "We at Coimisiún na Meán are committed to ensuring that audiences, especially children, can benefit from the positive aspects of media, while also being protected from its potential harms. Central to this ambition is ensuring that Irish audiences, especially children, can engage safely with content that is age-appropriate for them. The research report that we are launching today provides crucial insights into how Irish people consume media - whether broadcast, on-demand, at home or in cinemas - and gives us a strong evidence base regarding their attitudes to regulation, which will inform future updates to our Media Services Codes and Rules. I want to extend my thanks to the Coimisiún na Meán Research team, the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), the Ombudsman for Children's Office and all those who participated in the research who have contributed their time, views and expertise in developing this research report.'' While most adults are unconcerned about encountering potentially harmful or offensive media content, most parents report feeling 'very concerned' about younger children (12 years and under) viewing/listening to content that includes dangerous or harmful behaviours (74%), sexual themes and nudity (74%), or violence (66%). Parents are less concerned about younger children encountering strong language (44%). Parents are generally less concerned about teens encountering potentially harmful or offensive content. Indeed, they consider that some adult content may be appropriate for older children, if it is consensual, its portrayal is healthy and realistic, and it could help educate their children. Parents take comfort in knowing that there are regulated spaces that adhere to certain standards, and from the parental controls and child settings that come with some subscription video-on-demand services. Child participants highlighted some practical improvements that could be made to such features, including the use of voice control or fingerprint access. While teen participants generally considered it appropriate that parents should monitor content for younger children, many considered that the balance should shift towards greater self-monitoring as children mature. Moreover, many confirmed that they do indeed self-monitor their content consumption, On media types, adults report greatest concern about harmful and offensive content on Reality TV (49%), followed by Drama/Fiction (31%), Factual programming (27%) and Light entertainment (25%). Dr Ciarán Kissane, Director of Film Classification at the Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO), said: "This research presents valuable insights into children's and adults' views in relation to media content across all the main platforms in the post-COVID era. It specifically addresses the content categories that IFCO uses to provide guidance to Irish audiences. The research has already informed IFCO's re...

According to a report by the Equality Commission, Flags and sectarian grievances are ‘hindering NI boxing'. The review comes after boxer Daryl Clarke claimed he was excluded from Northern Ireland's 2022 Commonwealth Games team because of his identity. The report also cites the continued display of flags, emblems and identity symbols at events, and a lack of formal procedures for reporting harassment and discrimination.

Soldier F has been cleared of two murders on Bloody Sunday. A judge in Belfast has ruled the evidence against the veteran fell below the standard needed. Soldier F was found not guilty of the murders of James Wray and William McKinney both shot dead by soldiers on January 30,1972. He was also cleared of attempting to murder Michael Quinn, Patrick O'Donnell, Joseph Friel, Joe Mahon, and an unknown person. He had pleaded not guilty to the seven counts. Predictably, the verdict has divided opinions. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by the Belfast Telegraph's security correspondent, Allison Morris. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There is research from Brussels think tank Transport & Environment suggesting that plug-in hybrids are just as polluting as petrol cars. Neil Briscoe is a motoring expert and writes extensively on this for The Irish Times. And given his knowledge of motoring and our transition to EVs, were the findings a surprise to him? In the second part of the podcast, host Ciarán Hancock speaks to Cliff Taylor of The Irish Times about an upgrade to Irish growth forecasts by stockbroker Goodbody and some research from Ibec on hybrid working, suggesting that employees are expected to attend the office on more days each week.

A new policy paper from NexSys researchers based in University College Dublin has outlined key recommendations to ensure that Ireland's upcoming rollout of dynamic electricity pricing delivers real benefits for consumers, the energy system, and the environment. Dynamic pricing, which gained some notoriety in Ireland due to its use for the pricing of Oasis tickets in 2024, is due to be made available to electricity customers in Ireland from June 2026. Under these new contracts, the cost of electricity varies throughout the day based on wholesale market prices. This has the potential to shift consumption away from expensive peak periods and towards times of abundant renewable energy. The paper notes that this could help reduce carbon emissions, improve grid efficiency, and support Ireland's Climate Action Plan targets. However, the paper's authors warn that these benefits will only be realised if consumers are supported with the right tools and protections. Lead author Dr Ciarán Mac Domhnaill commented: "Some might say dynamic pricing has the potential to make Ireland's electricity system cleaner and more efficient, but unless consumers are confident that it will work for them, these advantages will not be realised. This means dynamic pricing should be introduced alongside automation technologies, fair protections, and clear communication to customers." Key Recommendations Include: Rolling out automation technology, such as smart devices that customers can configure to automatically adjust energy use during high-price periods, to make dynamic pricing easier for households. Improving access to real-time feedback on usage and cost through mobile apps or in-home displays. Protecting consumers during a phase-in period, including limits on early termination fees and temporary bill protection to reduce financial risk. Empowering customers with clear information and personalised tools, such as comparison websites, to help them choose the right pricing plan. Ensuring that lower-income households are not disadvantaged through lack of access to enabling technologies and all consumers can share in the potential savings. The paper highlights lessons from international experiences, such as Spain's nationwide introduction of dynamic pricing, and draws on extensive economic and behavioural research to inform practical policy design for Ireland. The full research summary, Don't look back in anger: Making dynamic electricity pricing work for Ireland, is available from NexSys and on PublicPolicy.ie More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

Having changed her nappy, their 21 month old daughter turns, runs and falls. Her cries startle her parents who go to comfort her. As they pick her up, they notice she's bleeding.

Within a week of arriving to hospital with their injured daughter, they're sitting in a police station, answering questions about what happened. It's beginning to feel like the entire system is closing in around them… If you have any information or knowledge about this story please email us documentaries@rte.ie or investigations@rte.ie or you can give us an anonymous tip via rte.ie/firstconviction-Credits: First Conviction is hosted by Ruth Negga.

When it comes to the paranormal, I've always admired voices that balance open-mindedness with critical thinking. That's why Dr. Ciarán O'Keefe is my kind of skeptic. Known to many from BBC's Uncanny with Danny Robins, Ciarán brings scientific rigor to the mysteries of the supernatural while staying open to possibilities. In this conversation we explore: Why skepticism doesn't equal cynicism How parapsychology lost visibility in academia and media How ghost hunters can serve as “citizen scientists” by gathering useful data The enduring mystery of cold spots, EMF fluctuations, and environmental triggers Explanations beyond “ghosts are dead people,” including time slips and dimensional slips How a recent medical discovery reshaped thinking about some possession cases Ciarán's most unforgettable “head-scratching” investigation His role as the resident skeptic on Uncanny—and why he embraces being the “party pooper” Ciarán also shares details about the Uncanny: Fear of the Dark UK tour, with possible plans for a North American run in the future. This episode shows how belief and skepticism, far from being opposites, can fuel better questions and deeper insights into life's greatest mysteries. Learn more about your ad choices.
