Munster Technological University (MTU) hosted the Cybersecurity Smart Maritime Challenge 2025 in collaboration with Cyber Innovate, the Irish Naval Service and the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) on Friday, 26th September. The event took place in the Cybersecurity Prototyping Lab in MTU's Bishopstown Campus in Cork, showcasing how Ireland's ports and harbours can be defended against evolving cyber threats. For centuries, Cork has been a safe harbour from storms, rough seas and pirates. In 2025, the definition of a safe harbour has expanded to include protection from digital attacks. This shift was brought into sharp focus during a live cybersecurity simulation, conducted using MTU's state-of-the-art Cyber Range infrastructure. The simulation, designed by Airbus, mirrored a real-world cyberattack on a maritime port. In the exercise, a hacker group paralysed a port's IT systems and disabled a ship at its entrance, effectively blocking all traffic. Four teams took part, featuring staff from the Irish Naval Service and the NMCI, alongside MTU researchers and students from Cyber Innovate. They were tasked with identifying the points of attack, regaining control of the vessel, and supporting Europol in apprehending the hacker group's leader. Irish ports are vital hubs for shipping and trade, making cybersecurity expertise essential to safeguarding national infrastructure. The challenge provided participants with practical, hands-on experience to develop skills that are directly relevant to addressing the growing cyber threats facing the maritime sector. "This collaboration between the Irish Navy, NMCI, maritime experts and cybersecurity specialists is essential to safeguarding Ireland's national security. This challenge highlights both the scale of the threat and the strength of the talent we are building in Ireland. Preparing for cybersecurity shock events before they happen is the only way to ensure our ports and maritime infrastructure remain resilient in an increasingly uncertain global landscape," said Dr Hazel Murray, Chair of Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University MTU is recognised as a leader in cybersecurity education, training, research and innovation. The university runs multiple programmes and initiatives, including Cyber Innovate, Cyber Skills, Cyber Explore, Cyber Resilience, Cyber Safety and Cyber Futures. Cork's reputation as Ireland's cybersecurity hub is strengthened by MTU's graduates, which has helped attract many national and international companies to the region. MTU also hosts the Cyber Range, a cutting-edge platform unique in Ireland. This allows simulated cyberattacks on virtual organisations in a safe environment. "At MTU, we are dedicated to advancing cybersecurity through cutting-edge education and research," said Dr George O'Mahony of MTU. "This state-of-the-art facility provides invaluable training for students, researchers and industry professionals, allowing them to build critical skills without risking real-world damage or outages." The Cybersecurity Smart Maritime Challenge underlined the critical importance of protecting Ireland's maritime sector from cyberattacks, particularly as the offshore renewable energy industry becomes a cornerstone of Ireland's energy future and a key enabler of EU climate change targets.

Today, we sit down with a boxer who faces a unique challenge, balancing two of the most disciplined jobs in the country. She's a top-tier amateur star, a true trailblazer for Irish boxing, and she is a serving member of An Garda Síochána. We are talking to Cork's own Christina Desmond, who is set to make her professional debut on October 10 at the National Stadium on the 'A New Dawn' show. Here, Christina tells us about growing up on a farm in the Gaelteacht, the backing she gets from that community up and down the country, picking boxing over Cork football and fighting alongside team-mates such as Katie Taylor and Kellie Harrington, self-doubt, comebacks and battling every day to make her late mam, Helen, proud. As the only female on the Cork Boxing Wall of Fame, she's looking to be fast-tracked in the professional ranks and is Ireland's most decorated female since KT go join the paid ranks – so if Jake Paul wants to get in touch, the MVP crew are welcome to get in touch.

So we've got a very different kind of episode for you this time. A few weeks ago Karl Deeter joined me here on the show and, after we had finished recording, he hit me with an idea – would I be up for the tables being turned, and me being the guest on my own podcast? And as evidenced by what you're about to hear, I said yes!I'm definitely little too close to it to have a sense of how it went or what you're going to think, so I guess I'm just going to let you have a listen and see for yourself. Hopefully you trust that at this stage, we like to put on a good show here on the podcast and you'll always hear something that might give you a laugh, something new to think about, or a little bit of escape to wind down from a tough week.

Korey Power is from county Cork. He started to fall in love with music at very young age from doing karaoke on holidays and finding his voice he realised he could sing from getting a bit of reaction from the audience abroad . Eventually he started to learn to play instruments and fell in love with the guitar, that's when he also started to write songs. He loved doing covers over the years but he thinks there's something very special about having your own song out there in the world. Over the years he started to build a huge following online over all my social media platforms and he is very grateful for it, because he knows how hard the music industry is, and is just happy to play a small part in this big world.

Fianna Fáil's Jim Gavin has emerged as the candidate with the strongest national radio footprint in the run-up to the 2025 Presidential election, according to new research from Irish PR intelligence platform Everhaze. Analysis of 2,500 radio clips over the past twelve weeks shows that while Independent Catherine Connolly leads overall mentions (36.3%), Gavin (33.5%) pulls ahead in terms of national airwaves share, with 34.9% of his coverage on national talk formats. By contrast, Connolly's campaign is more heavily weighted to local outlets (68.6% of her coverage) and Heather Humphreys' profile is even more locally concentrated (71.3%). This national advantage translates into strong presence across high-reach talk shows such as The Pat Kenny Show, Newstalk Breakfast, and The Anton Savage Show, where margins between candidates are typically slim but Gavin remains consistently competitive. On local radio, however, Connolly retains the edge, leading in 13 counties including Donegal (+22pp) and Galway (+18pp). Gavin posts selective peaks (notably Louth, where he dominates with 77.5% of mentions) and converts his national presence into 8 county leads overall. Humphreys, meanwhile, has a more concentrated footprint, with standout strength in Cavan/Monaghan (+12pp lead). Sentiment analysis underscores a three-way contrast: Humphreys records the most positive net tone (+12pp), Gavin trends neutral-positive (+5pp), while Connolly faces a more polarised balance (?3pp). Speaking about the findings of the report, James McCann, CEO of Everhaze said: "With nominations closed and facing into the four week sprint, each candidate will be looking to own the share of voice across the national airwaves to capture undecided voters. Outside of Dublin the counties of Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon have heard the least from all candidates so far which is unsurprising given the battle for the urban centres of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. As the campaign heats up its every candidate's race to lose in presenting a clear narrative and message to the public." Everhaze is an Irish-built PR intelligence platform that tracks real-time media coverage across radio, print, and online sources in Ireland and the UK. Its technology combines broadcast capture with AI-driven analysis to map who is getting talked about, where, and in what tone. The platform is widely used by communicators to monitor campaigns, understand sentiment shifts, and measure share of voice. As part of the 2025 Presidential campaign, Everhaze has launched the "Battle of the Airwaves" tracker, a live view of how each candidate is performing week-by-week on radio. The tracker highlights: Share of voice across national vs local stations County-by-county exposure showing where candidates are winning or lagging Sentiment balance, capturing whether coverage is favourable, critical, or neutral Programme battlegrounds, where margins between rivals are razor-thin Updated weekly, the Battle of the Airwaves gives voters, journalists, and campaign teams a transparent lens on who is winning the media war as the race for Áras an Uachtaráin heats up.

Ireland's fascination with the cosmos takes centre stage from 4-10 October 2025 as Space Week Ireland returns with a new theme, "Living in Space." Coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO), the week invites students, families, community groups, artists, engineers and the wider space community to explore how life on Earth can inform life beyond it - from caves and controlled habitats to stars, galaxies, black holes and supernovas. Many events are free, with others ticketed locally. The programme blasts off with a Space Week Roadtrip, bringing astronauts and science communicators directly into communities across the country to spark imagination and curiosity. Former NASA astronaut Dan Tani will be joined on the road by Dr Niall Smith, Head of Research, MTU and Head of Blackrock Castle Observatory, for a series of public and school engagements across Cork, Kerry and Limerick from Saturday, 4 to Tuesday, 7 October. Space Week Ireland celebrations get underway on Saturday 4 October (10:00-13:00) with a family-friendly Space Week Festival at the Cork School of Music.. Audiences will hear first-hand about life in space from Dan Tani, delve into the hazards of space living with Dr Lisa McNamee, and explore the impact of high-energy particles (like the sun) on human health with Dr Josh Reynolds. Interactive displays and hands-on workshops will bring science to life for children and families. On Monday 6 October, the Road Trip visits Tralee Library, Co. Kerry for a special primary school session titled 'Living in Space, with NASA astronaut Dan Tani and astronomer Dr. Niall Smith' (10 am-1.30 pm) Join NASA Astronaut Dan Tani as he shares his experiences from living onboard the international Space Station (ISS) and Dr. Niall Smith, an astronomer and space scientist about the future prospects of living in space. That evening at 7 pm, the team arrives at the University of Limerick for a public event hosted with the UL Rocketry Society. The Limerick programme continues on Tuesday, 7 October, at Mary Immaculate College, with primary school sessions followed by a general public talk on the topic of living in space (1:10-1:55 pm). Further Space Week events - including talks, workshops and stargazing nights - will run nationwide. Highlights include an ESERO Ireland Space Careers Roadshow at MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, a NASA Space Apps event in Athlone, Space Week activities at Galway Atlantaquaria, and "The Stars and the Universe Beyond" evening at Maynooth University. Explore the full programme at spaceweek.ie/events. Each event opens a doorway to larger questions: how extreme conditions shape resilience, how we might design to survive, and how Ireland's next generation can chart unlimited pathways - through the joy of space-related hobbies or through research and careers in STEM and the space industry. "Living and working in space is one of the most extraordinary experiences a human being can have," said Dan Tani, former NASA astronaut. "You see Earth from orbit and realise how fragile and beautiful it really is. Being involved with the Space Week Ireland Road Trip gives me the chance to share that perspective - not just the adventure of floating in zero gravity, but the ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience it takes to thrive in such an extreme environment. I hope it inspires students here in Ireland to see themselves as part of humanity's journey to the stars." Dr Niall Smith commented, "The challenge of living in space is moving from short-term habitability of a small number of people in space stations to longer-term colonisation of villages of people on the Moon and ultimately Mars and perhaps beyond. There are enormous challenges in meeting this vision to become a multi-planet species, but equally, there are enormous opportunities. Rarely has human living in space been more exciting." In addition to in-person events, the public can follow the Space Week Ireland Road Trip virtually via the BCO YouTube channel. V...

Michael speaks with Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, about the evolving dynamics of US policy toward China and the Indo-Pacific. Zack discusses how President Trump's pursuit of a meeting with Xi Jinping has shaped US policy and offers new analysis on the timeline for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Zack also confronts the reality of the so-called "axis of upheaval"—a tightening cooperation between China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran—and what it means for US foreign policy.

Stir together 1 - 1 1/2 c ginger beer to 1 shot bourbonAdd herbal syrup (below) to taste (optional)Garnish with fresh lemon balm, basil, or mint: lightly crush or roll before adding to the cocktail for maximum flavor Herbal syrup (makes about 1 quart): Combine 2 c sugar to 2 c water with a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Add 1-2 c packed fresh herbs, depending how strong you'd like it (like basil, mint, lemon balm, or mountain mint). Simmer on M/L for 10-15 minutes or until aromatic and flavorful. Cool and store in the fridge in an airtight container. Catwings Cocktail (tailor made by Julia!) This cocktail has a few steps, but I promise they're worth it: And you can batch out the syrup and tea by doubling or tripling the recipe to make these for a group or to keep the ingredients on hand in the fridge (where they'll last a week). The tea can be nice on its own, and any leftover syrup is perfect for adding to coffee or other beverages or drizzling on desserts. For a non-alcoholic version, swap in your favorite NA gin, or try this sea buckthorn-based NA spirit. Makes 4 cocktails For the herbal tea:(Note: you may not have all these dried herbs available. If not, just use 1/4-1/2 tsp catnip and 1 tsp chamomile.
