Michelle Riordan is originally from Co Meath where her family runs their own business. She and her husband had both travelled and lived abroad separately for many years. They had grown up down the road from each other in a small rural community in Meath. When their paths finally crossed again in 2004, they established Yogatraveller, a business that combined their passions for yoga and travel. They did all the groundwork from the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern India, building a website and continuing to study yoga. In 2007 they returned to Ireland to have their first child and shortly after we relocated to North Clare where they have been since. Michelle says, ‘after many years of wandering we knew we had found home.'

"Fainic curtha roimh ré ar lucht eagraithe trí-atlain". Triathlon Ireland has confirmed that the organization's officials had told the organizers of the half-Ironman triathlon in Co Cork last weekend that they were not prepared to give their blessing to the event. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag Trí-Atlan Éireann go raibh sé ráite roimh ré ag oifigigh na heagraíochta le lucht reáchtála an trí-atlain leath-Ironman i gCo Chorcaí an deireadh seachtaine seo caite nach raibh siad sásta a mbeannacht a thabhairt don imeacht. Two men died while taking part in the swimming round of the triathlon at Castle Cria beach in Youghall yesterday. Fuair beirt fhear bás agus iad ag glacadh páirt sa bhabhta snámha den trí-atlan ag trá an Chaisleáin Chria in Eochaill arú inné. They were Ivan Chittenden, aged 64, from Toronto in Canada and Brendan Wall, aged 45, who was originally from Ballyslane in Co Meath but had lived near Birmingham in England for many years. B'in iad Ivan Chittenden, 64 bliain d'aois, as Toronto i gCeanada agus Brendan Wall, 45 bliain, arbh as Baile Shláine i gCo na Mí ó dhúchas é ach a raibh cónaí air in aice le Birmingham i Sasana le blianta fada. Tri-Atlan Éireann has revealed that the organization's technical officials refused to give their blessing to the swimming round before it started after they assessed the safety of the water. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Trí-Atlan Éireann gur dhiúltaigh oifigigh theicniúla na heagraíochta a mbeannacht a thabhairt don bhabhta snámha sular cuireadh tús leis tar éis dóibh measúnú a dhéanamh ar shábháilteacht an uisce. The bad weather in the area at the time, especially the fermentation in the sea, was the reason for the decision of the officials, it was said. An aimsir mhór a bhí sa cheantar ag an am, go háirithe an coipeadh san fharraige, ba chúis le cinneadh na n-oifigeach, a dúradh. Trí-Atlan Éireann is a national organization responsible for governing triathlon competitions in this country and the competition in Cork was organized by the Ironman Éireann organisation. Is eagraíocht náisiúnta é Trí-Atlan Éireann atá freagrach as comórtais trí-atlain sa tír seo a rialú agus ba é an eagraíocht Ironman Éireann a d'eagraigh an comórtas i gCorcaigh. In a statement issued yesterday, Ironman Ireland said the organization was deeply saddened by the death of the two. I ráiteas a eisíodh arú inné, dúirt Ironman Éireann go raibh an-bhrón ar an eagraíocht faoi bhás na beirte. The statement also claimed that the organizers had shortened the triathlon swimming course in Youghal due to the bad weather. Maíodh sa ráiteas freisin go raibh cúrsa snámha an trí-atlain in Eochaill ciorraithe ag an lucht reáchtála mar gheall ar an drochaimsir. Finance Minister Michael McGrath, who is from Cork, said that the death of the two men was a terrible tragedy and asked for comprehensive answers to the questions being asked about the running of the triathlon. Dúirt an tAire Airgeadais Michael McGrath, arb as Corcaigh é, gur tragóid uafásach a bhí i mbás na beirte fear agus d'iarr sé freagraí cuimsitheacha a thabhairt ar na ceisteanna atá á gcur faoi reáchtáil an trí-atlain. Michael McGrath suggested that Cork County Council - which sponsored the competition - and Irish Water Safety would be involved in the investigation to be set up into what happened. Thug Michael McGrath le tuiscint go mbeadh Comhairle Contae Chorcaí – a d'urraigh an comórtas – agus Sábháilteacht Uisce na hÉireann bainteach leis an bhfiosrúchán atá le cur ar bun faoinar tharla. Gardai have already said they are not conducting a criminal investigation. Tá sé ráite ag na Gardaí cheana féin nach bhfuil fiosrúchán coiriúil ar bun acu. They confirmed, however, that they were to send a file to the coroner after looking at the results of the post-mortem ...

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2xm92rb3 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Workers in the Meath zinc mine in protest. Oibrithe i mianach since na Mí i mbun agóide. Workers at the Tara Mines zinc mine in Navan, Co Meath, have been protesting outside the site since last night over the owners' decision to close the mine indefinitely - it is not known how long - and put 650 employees out of work between two pools. Tá oibrithe i mianach since Tara Mines san Uaimh, Co na Mí, i mbun agóide taobh amuigh den áit ó aréir faoi chinneadh na n-úinéirí an mianach a dhúnadh go ceann scaithimh – ní fios cá fhad – agus 650 fostaí a leagan as obair idir dhá linn. The owners say they regret the decision but have no other choice but to close the mine. Deir na húinéirí go mb'oth leo an cinneadh ach nach bhfuil an dara rogha acu ach an mianach a dhúnadh. They say the mine is losing money, the zinc market is extremely volatile at the moment and prices have recently fallen dramatically. Deir siad go bhfuil an mianach ag cailleadh airgid as éadan, go bhfuil an margadh since thar a bheith luaineach faoi láthair agus go bhfuil praghsanna tite go tubaisteach le gairid. Talks between the company's owners and the workers' representatives took place in the Workplace Relations Commission yesterday and there will be more talks tomorrow. Bhí cainteanna idir úinéirí an chomhlachta agus ionadaithe na n-oibrithe ar siúl sa Choimisiún um Chaidreamh san Áit Oibre inné agus beidh tuilleadh cainteanna ann amárach. The workers do not trust the owners, however, and are very concerned about the future of the mine in the long run. Níl muinín ag na hoibrithe as na húinéirí, áfach, agus tá imní mhór orthu faoina bhfuil i ndán don mhianach i bhfad na haimsire. In fact, they are demanding that the owners publish the company's profits so that they can see for themselves the success or failure of the mine. Go deimhin, tá siad ag éileamh ar na húinéirí brabaigh an chomhlachta a fhoilsiú le go bhfeicfidh siad féin cén rath nó mírath atá ar an mianach. The workers are also very unhappy that the owners have not said when the mine will reopen, if at all. Tá na hoibrithe fíor-mhíshásta freisin nach bhfuil sé ráite ag na húinéirí cén uair a osclófar an mianach arís, má osclófar. An emergency resolution will be submitted to the Conference of Trade Unions at a meeting in Co Kilkenny today in which the Government will be required to intervene in the situation without delay and save the mine from idleness. Cuirfear rún éigeandála faoi bhráid Chomhdháil na gCeardchumann i gcruinniú i gCo Chill Chainnigh inniu ina n-éileofar ar an Rialtas idirghabháil a dhéanamh sa scéal gan mhoill agus an mianach a shábháil ar dhíomhaointeas. The mine in Navan was opened in 1977 and is the largest zinc mine in Europe. Osclaíodh an mianach san Uaimh i 1977 agus tá sé ar an mianach since is mó san Eoraip. Regardless of the name, the mine is in Bóthar Mín west of the town of Nauhamh, approximately twenty kilometers from Thameer. Ainneoin an ainm, is sa Bhóthar Mín siar ó bhaile na hUaimhe atá an mianach, tuairim is fiche ciliméadar ó Theamhair. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ
