I am obsessed with US politics. Not only is it full of drama and fascinating characters, but the results of this upcoming election could have a real, tangible impact on Ireland. So I wanted to get stuck into all things election-related with one of Ireland's best-known experts on this subject.Larry Donnelly was born in Boston into an Irish-American family steeped in politics – most notably, his uncle Congressman Brian Donnelly, introduced the “Donnelly visa” enabling more Irish people to legally emigrate to the United States. Just over 20-years ago, after a short trip to Ireland, Larry knew that he wanted to move back to the family's ancestral home and he now lives in Co Galway, and lecturers in NUIG.In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast Larry talks about growing up in one of America's most Irish-American cities, the moment that he knew he wanted to move ‘home' to Ireland, how America (and Ireland) has changed in his 20+years in Galway, and why the Trump/Harris election is so hard to call.COMEDY – There's a lot of excitement about Larry's appearance and The Mario Rosenstock Hotline has been hopping!

Niall Murphy is Oh Boland, from Tuam, Co Galway, and currently based in Dublin. They've released three albums since the band started over 10 years ago - third LP Western Leisure came out May 31. On this episode of the TPOE podcast, Niall talks through all the songs on the album, touring the US, and their journey as a band. Plus going country! Oh Boland launch Western Leisure at Bello Bar, supported by Stupid Son, on Friday, July 5. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/oh-boland-stupid-sonwestern-leisure-lp-launchbello-bar-tickets-922903117067 Buy Oh Boland - Western Leisure: https://ohboland.bandcamp.com/album/western-leisure --- Press release: Oh Boland's sound has been described as having a “rare potency”, one that exists in their live shows and two records, their 2016 debut Spilt Milk which featured in Pitchfork's “Best Underground Garage Punk Albums” of that year and its equally visceral successor, Cheap Things. Over the course of the Tuam-via-Dublin-based band's lifespan, Oh Boland has existed in several guises and their forthcoming third record heralds a compelling new phase as the solo project of founding member, Niall Murphy. The self-produced Western Leisure (mixed and mastered by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Total Control) signifies an electrifying artistic evolution spurred by Murphy's unwavering musical curiosity which hears him experiment with wistful Country motifs alongside Oh Boland's synonymous noise-rock tendencies. Written over a handful of years, many of which were spent in solitude, away from familiar recording practices and live performances, the making of this record presented Murphy with opportunities to wholeheartedly engage in musical and personal exploration. Following a shift in Oh Boland's line-up in 2018 and a period of touring, Murphy worked alone to create demos that would eventually grow into these ten simultaneously invigorating and introspective compositions. Drawing from a number of influences such as Robert Wyatt's 1974 LP Rock Bottom, Arthur Russell, and Pavement's sprawling and ambitious Wowee Zowee, Murphy describes how Western Leisure was shaped by a renewed approach and process to songwriting. “I felt unencumbered when I was writing these songs. I suppose, there's sometimes an insular nature to making music, to have the necessary headspace to write. During that time, I was alone with a lot of records, listening to some different things and found myself naturally drifting outside of the lines a little bit to what I was used to doing.” Produced by Mark Chester Recorded at Start Together, Belfast, September 2021 Mixed and Mastered by Mikey Young Words and Music by Niall Murphy Niall Murphy- Guitars, Drums, Piano, Organ, Rhodes, Steel Guitar, Vocals Ross Hamer- Bass, Vocals Artwork by Joe Casey Digitised by Aoife Anna Mullan

On that tragic night, the lives of Elizabeth and Mary were abruptly taken by the ruthless hands of John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans, two fugitives fleeing the English police. As news of the horrific crimes spread, fear and uncertainty gripped the communities in Co Galway and Co Wicklow as well as the country as a whole. A nationwide manhunt ensued, with authorities tirelessly searching for Shaw and Evans, determined to bring them to justice. The search led investigators across picturesque landscapes, unearthing clues and secrets along the way. Witness testimonies and evidence slowly pieced together the chilling events of that night, revealing the true nature of the killers. Finally, after an intense pursuit, Shaw and Evans were apprehended, putting an end to their reign of terror. The communities breathed a collective sigh of relief, knowing that the threat was neutralized. Join us as we recount this tragic and gripping true-crime story, unravelling the events of the murders, the intense search, the dramatic arrest, the courtroom drama, and the ultimate outcome.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2px3uezo Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Farmer dissatisfaction - gaps in Connemara Greenway. Míshásamh feirmeora - bearnaí i mBealach Glas Chonamara. There are separate sections of the Green Way between Sraith Salach and Clochán in Co Galway that have not yet been completed and a farmer in the area tells Nuacht TG4 with RTÉ that he is not happy that the Green Way would be on his land. Tá píosaí ar leith den Bhealach Glas idir Sraith Salach agus an Clochán i gCo na Gaillimhe nach bhfuil críochnaithe fós agus deir feirmeoir san áit le Nuacht TG4 le RTÉ nach bhfuil sé sásta go mbeadh an Bealach Glas ar a chuid talún. Once built it is set to be a 72 kilometer greenway between Galway City and the north west coast of Connemara. Nuair a bheidh sé tógtha tá sé i gcesit slí ghlas 72 ciliméadar a bheith idir Cathair na Gaillimhe agus cósta thiar-thuaidh Chonamara. It has been many years since the County Council received planning permission for the route from Clochan to Uchter Ard - approximately 32 kilometres. Blianta fada ó shin ó fuair Comhairle an Chontae cead pleanála don bhealach as an gClochán go hUachtar Ard - thart ar 32 ciliméadar. But recently it has been discovered that not everyone is happy. Ach le gairid tá sé faighte amach nach chuile dhuine atá sásta. Gaps have been left on the Way, with no cycle and pedestrian paths built on separate patches of land. Tá bearnaí fágtha ar an mBealach, gan slí rothaithe agus coisithe tógtha ar phaistí ar leith talún. The owner of one of those patches of land tells the Newsroom that he loves the greenways, but that the particular road where he is, would make up half of the holding on which his cattle are. Deir an té ar leis ceann de na paistí talún sin le Seomra na Nuachta gur breá leis na slite glasa, ach go ndéanfadh an ród ar leith san áit a bhfuil seisean dhá leith den ghabhaltas ar a bhfuil a chuid eallaigh. He says he sought the cooperation of the County Council to find a solution but to no avail. Deir sé gur lorg sé comhoibriú ón gComhairle Contae le theacht ar réiteach ach nach ndearna sé aon mhaith. Darren Ó Dubhgáin will have more about that story on Nuacht TG4 at 1900. Beidh tuilleadh faoin scéal sin ag Darren Ó Dubhgáin ar Nuacht TG4 ag 1900.

Redacted Lives

In 1975, two children hiding after being caught robbing apples found a slab of concrete with a crack in it in a Co Galway town. They looked underneath and saw what appeared to be piles of tiny bones. Decades later, their accidental discovery led to a mass grave being uncovered on the grounds of a former mother and baby home in Tuam. But what happens now to the remains they found? And how can family members who believe their loved ones are buried there get answers? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Last month, Aimée Foley emerged from the Central Criminal Courts of Justice with a smile on her face. The 21 year-old had been fighting to get her father's prison sentence increased, after he had received just five years for raping and sexually abusing her as a child. Following an appeal by the DPP, Michael O'Donoghue of Colmanstown, Ballinasloe, Co Galway had his jail term almost doubled, meaning he will be in prison for the next nine years. In this episode Aimée explains how the sexual abuse began when she was just 12 years-old and often took place during access visits to her father's home. It lasted for five years. She tells Róisín Ingle about the reason she waived her right to anonymity and why Ireland's sentencing laws need to be changed to avoid retraumatising victims all over again. Please be warned that this episode does contain descriptions of serious sexual assault and might not be suitable for all listeners.
