On Monday, preparatory works began at the former site of the mother and baby institution in Tuam, Co Galway in advance of the long-awaited excavation to identify the remains of nearly 800 infants.

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

Welcome to "Chasing Darkness: The Tragic Tale of Elizabeth Plunkett and Mary Duffy," where we dive deep into the harrowing tale of the 1976 murders of these two 23 year old women. 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. "Chasing Darkness" sheds light on more of Ireland's dark secrets and the resilience of a nation seeking justice for the innocent lives lost.   Support the showFollow me on Instagram: @irelandcrimesandmysteries Follow me on TikTok: @nuleseire Follow me on Twitter: @IrelandCrimes Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@IrelandCrimesandMysteries Thanks for supporting me.

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.
