PSNI investigate after bodies of two dogs were found weighted down in a lake in Co Tyrone. The USPCA have offered a reward for information following the discovery We speakg to its Director of Operations, Siobhan McHaffie

Today is July 12th, which will mean Orange Orders and band parading in many parts of Northern Ireland. Yesterday, the Eleventh Night, saw more than 200 bonfires lit in loyalist areas across the North. Among the bonfires was an effigy of Sinn Féin deputy leader Michelle O'Neill in Co Tyrone- where it was to be burned alongside with Irish flags. A picture of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and an Irish flag were set alight again in Tyrone on Saturday. How do we ever have a conversation about a United Ireland when we have effigies of politicians being burned in the north? Andrea was joined by listeners to discuss…

Joining Gavan On the Record is Mike Nesbitt, MLA for Strangford and former leader of the Ulster Unionist Party & Sorcha Eastwood, Alliance Party MLA Lagan Valley. Together they discuss the burning of an Irish tricolour and a photograph of Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar on a bonfire in Moygashel, Co Tyrone as well as the ongoing impasse in Stormont.

"Tairbhe mhór eacnamaíochta le baint as Creat Windsor" - Sunak. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak claimed that Northern Ireland would be the most vibrant economic area in the world if the new Brexit deal was implemented and Stormont institutions were restored together. Mhaígh Príomh-Aire na Breataine Rishi Sunak go mbeadh Tuaisceart Éireann ar an limistéar eacnamaíochta is bríomhaire ar domhan ach an comhaontú nua Breatimeachta a chur i bhfeidhm agus forais Stormont a athbhunú in éineacht. Rishi Sunak was speaking to employers and employees in the Coca Cola factories in Lisburn, Co Antrim, this morning. Ag labhairt a bhí Rishi Sunak le fostóirí agus fostaithe i monaracha Coca Cola i Lios na gCearrbhach, Co Aontroma, ar maidin inniu. He said he was happy about the Windsor Framework, which is the deal that Britain and the European Union made yesterday. Dúirt sé go raibh sé ríméadach faoi Chreat Windsor, mar atá baiste ar an margadh a rinne an Bhreatain agus an tAontas Eorpach inné. If the agreement is accepted, the Northern countries would have access to both the United Kingdom market and the European Union single market, an opportunity that no one else in the world has, said the Prime Minister. Bheadh fáil ag muntir an Tuaiscirt ar mhargadh na Ríochta Aonaithe agus ar mhargadh aonair an Aontais Eorpaigh araon dá nglacfaí leis an gcomhaontú, faill nach bhfuil ag aon dream eile ar domhan, arsa an Príomh-Aire. That's the big economic prize to be won, he said. Sin an duais mhór eacnamaíochta atá le gnóthú, a dúirt sé. In his imploring speech, Rishi Sunak claimed that he believed "without a doubt" that the Windsor Framework addresses the concerns of unionists about the Northern Protocol. Ina óráid impíoch, mhaígh Rishi Sunak gur chreid sé "gan focal bréige" go dtugann Creat Windsor aghaidh ar an imní atá ar aontachtaithe faoi Phrótacal an Tuaiscirt. He also drew attention to the unusual permission that unionists and other parties would have to veto certain laws of the European Union that they do not like. Tharraing sé aird chomh maith ar an gcead neamhghnách a bheadh ag aontachtaithe agus páirtithe eile dlíthe áirithe an Aontais Eorpaigh nach dtaitníonn leo a chrosadh. That would mean, he said, that "the power would be yours". D'fhágfadh sin, ar sé, gur "agaibhse a bheadh an chumacht". Rishi Sunak also said that the shooting attack on a senior police officer in Co Tyrone last week shows the dire need for political stability in the North. Dúirt Rishi Sunak freisin go léiríonn an t-ionsaí lámhaigh a rinneadh ar phóilín sinsearach i gCo Thír Eoghain an tseachtain seo caite, go léiríonn sé an géarghá atá le cobhsaíocht pholaitíochta sa Tuaisceart.

SHE'S Ireland's Queen of Country and at the age of 80 Philomena Begley says she has no intention of relinquishing her title anytime soon. As we speak, Philomena is celebrating an incredible 60 years in showbusiness and here on 'My Country Life' she says that singing and performing is the drug that keeps her young at heart. Philomena talks about her early life growing up in the Co Tyrone village of Pomeroy, picking potatoes and cutting turf as part of her childhood chores. She recalls how she left school at 15 to work in a hat factory and fell into a music career by chance at the age of 20 when a friend dared her to get up and sing with a local band. That performance would see her go on to join the group and become a star in her own right with hits such as Truck Drivin' Woman, Queen of the Silver Dollar and Blanket On The Ground. She recorded in Nashville, performed at the Grand Ole Opry and was one of the stars of the Wembley Country Music Festival in London. Here, Philomena also talks about her friendship with Daniel O'Donnell and that hilarious video in bed with Nathan Carter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the course of this and the last series of podcasts, I had tried to uncover some of what it takes to build high performing teams in sales - more often than not, talking about improving performance in a way that is both relevant and meaningful to business owners and sales management in the SME sector. In this episode I talk with Noel Slane from Irish start up, Food Guard. Noel has experience and an excellent track record when it comes to high performance sales and building high performance sales teams. From his recent experience with US based Cyber Security Company, #OPSWAT and in his latest start up FoodGuard, Noel talks about building teams from the bottom up - recruiting for values over academia, achieving stellar sales performance and building an SDR team in Carrickmore, Co Tyrone who sell into some of the toughest markets in the world - Defence, Public Sector, Bio-pharma, Finance.... Noel shares some valuable insights that would benefit business owners, sales directors, C-suite leaders as well as those sales people who are keen to improve their own performance. The common thread in many of these podcasts is culture and the importance of values that resonate amongst the sales team - not just for the sales team but also the business owners and directors. Noel shares his experience of a number of companies - some that get it right and some that don't. Check out Noel's new business www.foodguard.ie

Fiosrúcháin chearta daonna faoi bhuamáil na hÓmaí molta. A High Court judge in Belfast has indicated that it is too likely that the security services could have prevented the 1998 Omagh bombing attack if they had acted properly. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag breitheamh Ardchúirte i mBéal Feirste gur róchosúil go bhféadfadh na seirbhísí slándála ionsaí buamála na hÓmaí i 1998 a chosc dá ngníomhóidís mar ba cheart roimh ré. Among other things, Judge Mark Horner said, what they knew about the activities of republican dissidents on both sides of the border could have been taken into account by the security services. I measc rudaí eile, a dúirt an Breitheamh Mark Horner, d'fhéadfadh a raibh ar eolas acu faoi ghníomaíochtaí easaontóirí poblachtánacha ar dhá thaobh na teorann a bheith curtha san áireamh ag na seirbhísí slándála. A bomb blazed in a car left by the True IRA in central Omagh, Co Tyrone, on 15 August 1998, killed 29 people and two children who had not yet been born. Maraíodh 29 duine agus beirt pháistí nach raibh tagtha ar an saol fós nuair a phléasc buama mór i ngluaisteán a bhí fághta ag an bhFíor- IRA i lár na hÓmaí, Co Thír Eoghain, ar an 15 Lúnasa 1998. Judge Horner urged the British Government to set up a human rights inquiry into how the atrocity took place. Mhol an Breitheamh Horner do Rialtas na Breataine fiosrúchán cearta daonna a bhunú faoi conas mar a tharla an t-uafás. He said he would not order a public inquiry, as claimed by the relatives of the dead, as he did not want to be "prescriptive." Dúirt sé nach n-ordódh sé fiosrúchán poilbí, mar atá á éileamh ag gaolta na marbh, mar nár theastaigh uaidh a bheith "saintreorach." The judge said that although he did not have the power to give any order to the Irish Government, he hoped that a human rights inquiry would also be set up in the Republic. Dúirt an breitheamh cé nach raibh sé de chumhacht aige aon ordú a thabhairt do Rialtas na hÉireann go raibh súil aige go mbunófaí fiosrúchán cearta daonna sa Phoblacht chomh maith. It is already known that police informants in the North received a phone call eleven days before the massacre from an unknown person who claimed a bomb attack in Omagh on 15 August. Tá a fhios cheana féin go bhfuair lucht faisnéise na bpóilíní sa Tuaisceart glao teileafóin aon lá dhéag roimh an sléacht ó dhuine anaithnid a mhaígh go mbeadh ionsaí buamála san Ómaigh ar an 15 Lúnasa. That person did not give the police any information about exactly when or where it would happen. Níor thug an duine sin aon eolas do na póilíní faoi cén t-am ná cén áit go baileach a dtarlódh sé. However, informants did not pass on that information to the local Omagh police, as they should have done. Níor chuir lucht faisnéise an t-eolas sin ar aghaidh chuig na póilíní áitiúla san Ómaigh, áfach, mar ba chóir dóibh. In 2013, Michael Gallagher, whose son Aiden was killed in the bombing, sought a judicial review of the British Government's decision not to set up a public inquiry. In 2013, d'iarr Michael Gallagher, ar maraíodh a mhac Aiden sa bhuamáil, athbhreithniú breithiúnach ar chinneadh Rialtas na Breataine gan fiosrúchán poiblí a bhunú. According to Northern Secretary of State at the time, Theresa Villiers, it would be best to allow the police ombudsman to conduct the inquiry. Dar le Stát-Rúnaí an Tuaiscirt ag an am, Theresa Villiers, gurbh fhearr ligean d'ombudsman na bpóilíní an fiosrúchán a dhéánamh.

"Dhá lá chinniúnacha roimh ospidéil i nGaillimh" - Saolta. Covid-19 has been putting tremendous pressure on hospitals in Galway since the beginning of the year and they have two crucial days ahead of them today and tomorrow, said the head of the Saolta hospital group. Tá brú thar cuimse ar ospidéil i nGaillimh ó thús na bliana de bharr covid 19 agus tá dhá lá chinniúnacha rompu inniu agus amárach, a dúirt ceannasaí an ghrúpa ospidéal Saolta. Tony Canavan pointed out that there are currently 133 Covid-19 patients at Galway University Hospital, 17 of whom are in the intensive care unit. Thug Tony Canavan le fios go bhfuil 133 othar covid 19 in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gaillimh faoi láthair, 17 acu san aonad dianchúraim. Speaking on RTÉ, he said illness among staff at that hospital and other health centers in Galway was exacerbating the problem. Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, dúirt sé go bhfuil breoiteacht i measc na foirne san ospidéal sin agus in ionaid eile sláinte i nGaillimh ag cur leis an bhfadhb. 387 staff members were absent yesterday at various venues across Galway due to Covid-19, Tony Canavan said. 387 ball foirne a bhí as láthair inné in ionaid éagsúla ar fud na Gaillimhe de bharr covid 19, a dúirt Tony Canavan. Fortunately, he is optimistic, he said, that staffing will improve in the next two to three days. Ar an dea-uair, tá dóchas aige, a dúirt sé, go dtiocfaidh feabhas ar chúrsaí foirne as seo go gceann dhá nó trí lá. He argued that the easing of the problem in Galway has been linked to easing over Christmas and the new variant of the coronavirus. Mhaígh sé go bhfuil baint ag maolú srianta i gcaitheamh na Nollag agus ag an athraitheach nua ar an gcoróinvíreas le géire na faidhbe i nGaillimh. The current restrictions must be strictly enforced, Tony Canavan said. Caithfear na srianta atá ann faoi láthair a chur i bhfeidhm go dian, a dúirt Tony Canavan. Yesterday, the Health Service Executive, the Gardaí and the two local authorities urged the people of Galway to adhere to the public health guidelines in light of the recent triple increase in Covid-19 cases in the region. Arú inné, dachainigh Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte, na Gardaí agus an dá údarás áitiúla ar mhuintir na Gaillimhe cloí leis na treoirlínte sláinte poiblí i bhfianaise cásanna covid 19 sa réigiún a bheith méadaithe faoi dheich le gairid. Almost 2,800 cases have been recorded in two weeks and Tuam, Galway city and Oranmore are reported to have the highest case rates. Beagnach 2,800 cás a taifeadadh le coicís agus tuairiscítear gur i dTuaim, i gcathair na Gaillimhe agus in Órán Mór is airde atá an ráta cásanna. Martin Ward, a nurse at Galway University Hospital, whose father and mother died in Co Tyrone with Covid-19, called on the Galway community to be prudent. Diarr Martin Ward, altra in Ospidéal na hOllscoile, Gaillimh, ar cailleadh a athair agus a mháthair i gCo Thír Eoghain le covid 19, diarr sé ar an bpobal i nGaillimh a bheith stuama. He claimed that many of the public are very relaxed about the situation because so many people have only minor symptoms. Mhaígh sé go bhfuil go leor den phobal an-réchúiseach faoin scéal mar gheall go bhfuil an oiread daoine nach bhfuil orthu ach mionsiomptóim. Unfortunately, he said, there is also the bad side of the story. Ar an drochuair, a dúirt sé, tá an taobh olc den scéal ann freisin.

The financial crisis; climate change; Brexit; US riots and elections; big-tech domination; Coronavirus. The list of stressful issues and crises just keeps growing. How should a Christian react to a “world out of control”? Michael Penfold reminds us of the words of Dan 4:26, “The heavens do rule”.

George Alexander (1894-1973) was born in Co Tyrone, Ireland, back in the 19th century. (His distinct localised accent may be a struggle for some listeners!). One day, as a mischievous and worldly young man, George made a plan with half a dozen other young lads to interrupt and disturb a series of gospel meetings being held in a barn near his home by evangelists J. McCullough and T. Braidner. But God intervened in George's scheme. His companions never showed up, The post George Alexander – How God Saved Me (20 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.

SEGMENT 1 – MINDIE BURGOYNE In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the energetic pull of the earth and how people have felt that pull over the ages. If there’s one phrase I hear repeatedly from people who read my posts or come on our tours it’s that they have “felt a pull or a draw” to a particular place. Ireland is frequently mentioned.   Joseph Dispenza in his wonderful little book, The Way of the Traveler states, « All travel is inner travel. » He goes on to say in the introduction…that the « call to travel » is as much a part of the journey as the actual travel itself. Dreaming of the travel... imagining what we’ll see, how we’ll feel, what we may learn, who we may meet … it’s all a part of the entire travel experience and the change --- the inner change that happens to people when they travel.   For some of us, that call to travel or dreaming of travel feels almost like a romance… something out there is pulling us, creating a yearning – a thirst that can’t be quenched until we get to that place. It’s as if the place itself has some power or capability of relationship. Mahatma Ghandi said, “There is an indefinable, mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen power that makes itself felt and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses.”   Some of you have probably heard about ley lines. This term refers to invisible lines of energy that run through the earth in a grid-like form. Water tends to run along these lines and people with high sensitivity to these lines of earth energy had methods of finding water and springs by connecting with the lines through dowsing – using a forked branch or metal rod. Many of the first nation people used only their open palm stretched out in front of them to feel the energy vibration and locate water … or perhaps they used the lines to for other things … like where to locate sacred ritual spots. We know that many ancient civilizations erected temples, ritual sites, gathering places and burial mounds in straight lines. In fact, the remains of old ritual sites are often found in straight line patterns across the earth. Freemasons tracked energy lines when building and designing castles, cathedrals and burial grounds.   They made use of volcanic plugs – which are places where molten rock hardened in the event of an active volcano « plugging up » so to speak the enormous pressure within the volcano. These are considered power points in the earth.   All of this is very interesting but what does it mean to us as travelers or people who feel drawn to particular places? We don’t know. But the discussion raises interesting questions. Like … can we be affected by that power within the place? Does it help us connect with a higher form of ourselves? help us focus... help us on that inner journey? Are they portals to another dimension? Can we access that other dimension? Let’s talk with Annie Conboy and listen to what she has to say.   SEGMENT 2 – INTERVIEW WITH ANNIE CONBOY Annie Conboy is a spiritual counselor, intuitive medium and energy healer who has been practicing for eleven years publicly. Annie is from Hebdon Bridge in West Yorkshire, England. She is a mother and works full time as an intuitive.

So, go there while you can before this pristine landscape vanishes with the economic prosperity that comes with enterprise.   You’d never know that just off of an old country road south of Cookstown in County Tyrone was an ancient royal site still well intact. It’s surrounded by beautiful farmland and rolling hills, and the turnoff, while well marked is doesn’t indicate near the fanfare that this powerful site should have.   Tullyhogue. The name means “mound of the young men.” In the eleventh century, it was an inaugural site for the Kings of Ulster – the northern province of Ireland. These would have been the O’Neil’s of Tyrone. The O’Hagans were the stewards who cared for the site and managed the royal gatherings and site rituals. Hugh O’Neill, the last of the chieftains to be crowned here in 1593. Twelve years later, he and the last bit of Irish royalty fled Ireland and the plantation of Ulster began.   There was a great stone chair at Tullyhogue – a coronation chair heaved out of a large boulder. The chair was noted on the map done by Richard Bartlett done in 1602. It shows a rude sketch of the coronation on Tullyhogue with the king seated in the stone chair, which sits atop a hill. A half dozen men standing around him with an O’Hagan holding a single shoe over his head. The notation below it says “Tulloghogé, On this hill the Irish Create their O. Neale.”   The single shoe ritual is remembered as a coronation tradition, but the details of its meaning are sketchy. would be king places shoe or slipper on the coronation site the night before in a gesture meant to “claim the land as his.” At the coronation, the shoe is placed on the royal foot by one of the attending family (in Tullyhogue’s case – that would be an O’Hagan). the shoe may have been thrown over the head of the king as a sign of good luck. The shoe may be connected to the carving of footprints into inaugural stones.   When a king of a clan was crowned : married to the land married to the goddess of the land crowning sites always on hills where the land can be surveyed.   Characteristics of these royal sites on hilltops ring barrows – fort-like structure, also provided the ability to process within the rings and survey the event from an elevation. Linear earthwork avenue – a processional roadway. Sometimes a standing stone, coronations stone or throne. Sites were believed to be places of ritual, - coronations, burials, rituals of connecting to the ancestors of possibly bridging the two worlds – this world and the world beyond.   Tullyhogue is still beautifully intact. While there is no chair – part of the chair is believed to be incorporated into the stone wall of a nearby church. The surrounding landscape is still gorgeous and easy to survey Avenue is still in place, a straight road going up to the hill The earthworks are still in place. There are huge trees now growing in them. The entrance is still open and one can easily imagine the procession and the events that took place here. The stories still hang behind Now it’s been redeveloped – large car park, meandering walkway, benches and interpretive signage.   Tullyhogue is also one of those sites that you want to return to … you want to go back and re-experience what you had there … but every time it’s a little different. Don’t rush when going to this site. Take time to read the signage that tells the stories of the O’Neills, the O’Hagans and what happened on the site. It makes for a rich experience.   Irish Archaeology – Medieval Houses at Tullyhogue fort, Co. Tyrone BBC New – Where Kings of Ulster ‘were crowned’” Sit Dig to Begin     SEGMENT 4 – POEM   Wander-Thirst by Gerald Gould   BEYOND the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea, And East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be;   It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say good-bye; For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! the call of the sky!   I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are; But a man can have the sun for a friend, and for his guide a star;   And there's no end of voyaging when once the voice is heard, For the rivers call, and the roads call, and oh! the call of the bird!   Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away;   And come I may, but go I must, and, if men ask you why, You may put the blame on the stars and the sun and the white road and the sky.   ~Gerald Gould was born in Yorkshire, England in 1885 and died in 1936 in London. He was a journalist and a supporter of women’s suffrage. “Wander-Thirst” is his most quoted work.   The Collected Poems of Gerald Gould             SEGMENT 5 – Mindie recommends   I’m going to end with a book recommendation. The book is The Way of the Traveler – Making Every Trip a Journey of Self Discovery by Joseph Dispenza   This is a little book you can read in a day or read little clips over the course of a week or month. I even have the audiobook and find it great for listening to the car. The book is a collection of reflections on the spiritual aspects of travel, and a call to be changed internally by every travel experience.   Dispanza is a former cloistered monk. He’s also a scholar having taught at American University in DC and the College of Santa Fe in NM. He presents a method of travel that promotes self-discovery and uncovering a life path through travel.   The book has five parts – all stages of travel The Call to Journey - - the Preparation – the Encounter (or actual travel experience) – the Homecoming and Recounting the Tale. The insights communicated in the book aid the individual travel experience in an amazing way. There are concepts to explore, like being fearful of certain travel experiences and how to discover the root of the fear. But there’s also practical advice like what to take with you, bringing back gifts and how to travel so that you will also retain great memories so that can revisit the experience in your imagination.   The book also has scores of quotes and exercises to reinforce the concepts presented in each section.
