It's no surprise that most travelers to Ireland have the Rock of Cashel on their list. It's dramatic, iconic, and completely captivating as it rises unexpectedly from the landscape. But if that's the only stop you make in County Tipperary, you're missing so much. Photographer and tour guide John Cash knows the county inside and... The post County Tipperary Beyond the Rock: Make It More Than a Pit Stop appeared first on Ireland Family Vacations.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 4ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1976 bhí an faitíos d'ardú pá laghdaithe mar go raibh comhaontú nua don phá náisiúnta. I 1993 bhí comhairleoir an Taoiseach, Dr Con Power in argóint talamh de 6 milliún punt. I 1998 bhí an Chros Dhearg sa chontae ag iarradh míle saorálaí a traeináil. An phlean a bhí ann ná chun uasghrádú a dhéanamh ar na sheirbhísí sa chontae agus lainseáil sé I Ros Cré ó Teachta Dála Michael Smith. I 2006 lochtaigh comhairleoir Sinn Féin Seamus Morris mar gur labhair sé le TippFM faoi na fadhbanna sóisialta san eastát tithíochta comhairle nua Árd Crúidín. Dúirt sé níor chóir an chomhairle daoine áirithe a chur faoi dhíon in Árd Crúidín mar gur daoine achrannach iad. Sin Madness le House Of Fun – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1982. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1977 shroich The Jam uimhir a 40 ar na cairteacha lena chéad amhrán In The City sa Bhreatain. Lean siad ar aghaidh agus fuair siad 18 amhrán eile ar na cairteacha sa Bhreatain ón chéad amhrán I 1977 go dtí a amhrán deireanach I mí na Nollaig I 1982 – agus fuair siad ceithre uimhir a haon chomh maith. I 1992 tháinig an sheirbhísí post I Meiriceá amach le torthaí den pholl a bhí ann chun cinneadh a dhéanamh faoi cén pictiúir de Elvis Presley a bhí siad chun úsáid ar stampa comórtha. Bhuaigh an pictiúr nuair a bhí sé níos óige. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Russell Brand sa Bhreatain I 1975 agus rugadh aisteoir Angelina Jolie I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 4th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1976: Fears of a mad scramble for pay rises diminished last night with the proposed new national wage agreement. 1993: Taoiseachs consultant, Dr con power was in a £6m land row. 1998 -Tipperary Red Cross set out to train 1.000 volunteers.

Cllr Morris said the council should not have housed certain people in Árd Crúidín because they were known troublemakers.  That was Madness with House Of Fun – the biggest song on this day in 1982 Onto music news on this day In 1977 The Jam's debut single 'In The City' made No.40 on the UK singles chart. They went on to score 18 consecutive Top 40 singles in the United Kingdom, from their debut in 1977 to their break-up in December 1982, including four No.1 hits. 1992 The US Postal Service announced the results of a poll conducted to see which picture of Elvis Presley should be used on a commemorative stamp. The young Elvis beat the (older and larger) Vegas Elvis. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – comedian Russell Brand was born in the UK in 1975 and actress Angelina Jolie was born in America on this day in 1975 and this is some of the stuff she has done.

The life of this week's final Scriblerian, Thomas Parnell, rounds out the picture of the entire Scriblerus club as a fraternity of wildly brilliant men all carrying some great pain or wound. Some of them clearly write out of that wound, while others seem to write in spite of it. Parnell straddles the line, and today's poem is a fine example of his blending of bright energy with a sharp edge. Happy reading.Thomas Parnell (11 September 1679 – 24 October 1718) was an Anglo-Irish poet and clergyman who was a friend of both Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift.He was born in Dublin, the eldest son of Thomas Parnell (died 1685) of Maryborough, Queen's County (now Portlaoise, County Laois), a prosperous landowner who had been a loyal supporter of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War and moved from Congleton, Cheshire to Ireland after the Restoration of Charles II. His mother was Anne Grice of Kilosty, County Tipperary: she also owned property in County Armagh, which she left to Thomas at her death in 1709. His parents married in Dublin in 1674. Thomas was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and collated as Archdeacon of Clogher in 1705. In the last years of the reign of Queen Anne of England he was a popular preacher, but her death put an end to his hope of career advancement. He married Anne (Nancy) Minchin, daughter of Thomas Minchin, who died in 1712, and had three children, two of whom died young. The third child, a girl, is said to have reached a great age. The marriage was a very happy one, and it has been said that Thomas never recovered from Nancy's early death.He spent much of his time in London, where he participated with Pope, Swift and others in the Scriblerus Club, contributing to The Spectator and aiding Pope in his translation of The Iliad. He was also one of the so-called "Graveyard poets": his 'A Night-Piece on Death,' widely considered the first "Graveyard School" poem, was published posthumously in Poems on Several Occasions, collected and edited by Alexander Pope and is thought by some scholars to have been published in December 1721. It is said of his poetry, "it was in keeping with his character, easy and pleasing, enunciating the common places with felicity and grace."-bio via Wikipedia This is a public episode.

20th November, 2024 – Today, Eileen is joined by Fr. Vincent Stapleton.  He tells an amazing story about a local Bishop Joseph Shanahan from Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary. L'articolo E202 | Life to the Full – Fr Vincent Stapleton – Bishop Joseph Shanahan proviene da Radio Maria.

In this gripping episode, Niall tackles the controversial question: Should animal cruelty lead to prison sentences? Prompted by a recent court case, he explores the shocking story of a family found guilty of severe animal neglect under Ireland's Animal Health and Welfare Act (AHWA) 2013.Three members of the Reilly family — Michael (27), Martin Snr (43), and Katherine (71) — received combined sentences totaling 13 months after pleading guilty to eight charges related to 17 dogs and 10 puppies. Rescued from horrific conditions on their property in County Tipperary, these animals were found chained, confined in a metal cage, a cattle trailer, and an unsanitary shed. They suffered from malnutrition, dehydration, and untreated health issues, painting a disturbing picture of cruelty.The episode also highlights a shocking case involving an 89-year-old woman sentenced to 20 months in prison for repeatedly abusing animals, despite a lifetime ban on pet ownership. Her continued defiance led to heartbreaking conditions for animals in her care.Listeners call in to debate whether jail time is an effective punishment for animal abusers or if society needs a broader view on animal welfare. Some argue that cruelty to animals should have serious legal consequences, while others, like Steve, challenge the perceived hypocrisy, questioning why society condemns animal cruelty yet supports industries involving animal suffering.Tune in as Niall navigates these complex perspectives, shedding light on the moral, legal, and social questions surrounding animal cruelty.

County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council are collaborating to introduce a county-wide gift card to champion 'shop local' and boost the local economy. The Tipperary Gift Card is set to launch pre-Christmas as part of efforts to drive footfall and spend across the county and in the towns of Carrick-On-Suir, Clonmel, Cahir, Cashel, Tipperary Town, Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. Once launched, the Tipperary Gift Card will only be able to be spent with registered businesses, in person, locking spend into the county. There will be a 0% commission rate for the first 12 months for Tipperary businesses to accept the new gift card, keeping 100% of the transaction within the business. All types of businesses are eligible to accept the card, including retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism, health/beauty and services, with no additional equipment required. Businesses don't have to be a County Tipperary Chamber member to be a part of the new gift card. Michelle Aylward, Chief Executive at County Tipperary Chamber said: "Local businesses are the backbone of our Tipperary communities and now is the time for us to work together on a single shop local gift card for the whole county that will be transformative for our towns. "The Tipperary Gift Card is a phenomenal opportunity for Tipperary businesses to bring people through their doors with money to spend. With the zero commission to accept the card, there is no reason for a business not to be a part of this gift card. And as all types of consumer facing businesses can accept the card, it spreads out the benefit across Tipperary. It will provide tangible support for businesses and help to pull our communities together." Sinead Carr, C.E. of Tipperary County Council stated: "The availability of such an opportunity in County Tipperary is something I have long envisaged and I am particularly delighted to see that it will be in place for the Christmas 2024 period. Registering to accept the forthcoming Tipperary Gift Card is straightforward and cost-free. As we approach the key Christmas trading period, being a part of the gift card is a route to new revenue and new customers." The Tipperary Gift Card will be part of the multi award winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Drogheda, Letterkenny, Sligo and Waterford. Over €7 million Town & City Gift Cards were sold in Ireland in 2023, with around 80% of sales to organisations for staff rewards and incentives. Colin Munro is the managing director of Miconex and said: "What makes the Tipperary Gift Card unique is the technology behind it. The card is Mastercard backed so the balance gets automatically updated when customers spend. Customers can check their balance in moments using the QR code on the gift card. And there will be a digital version of the card that customers can upload to digital wallets. This all makes the process of accepting the gift card friction-free for businesses, and that is vital." Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council Cllr Declan Burgess stated: "The collaboration between County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council on the forthcoming county-wide Tipperary Gift Card is a fantastic example of organisations joining together for the benefit of their communities both socially and economically. When we look at the success of Town & City Gift Card programmes across Ireland, the potential of the new gift card to keep Tipperary money in Tipperary towns is considerable." See more stories here.

On this week's Ours to Protect Anna Cullen found out about about cow dung & its fungi from Sean O'Farrell on Cloncannon Biofarm in County Tipperary.

In this episode of Ours To Protect Tipp FM looked at food waste in local businesses and an appeal for food and drink businesses in County Tipperary to sign up for the Food Waste Charter to help reduce wastage along the supply chain. One third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted generating up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and up to two thirds of this waste comes from businesses. But reducing food waste in your business can save you money and reduce your carbon emissions. STEP 1: Make a start, gather basic food waste data STEP 2: Review and improve your data STEP 3: Establishing your food waste estimate STEP 4: Refine, update and continue NEXT STEPS: Food waste has significant environmental implications but, for your business, it can have a serious impact on your margins. It has been found that over 60% of food coming out of food service businesses is potentially avoidable and the cost of this to your business is ~€3 per kg (this is purchasing costs only). You can now use your initial food waste figure to estimate the true cost of food waste for your business. Multiply your annual tonnage by €3,000 and this will provide an indicative cost of purchasing the avoidable fraction of your food waste. For more information on food waste from different sectors see the following resources on foodwastecharter.ie

Threadsuns - Sophie BéhalThreadsuns, a new body of work from Sophie Béhal, comes as the result of the Tipperary Artist Residency Award with STAC, supported by Tipperary Arts Office. This body of work comes from a period of engagement with new materials in a new place. Situated in a rural landscape in County Tipperary, it searches for a new way of being in this world and uses repetition, ritual and process to investigate this. The sun and circles are used as a rhythmic refrain and repeated throughout.The most reassuring of shapes, the circle, and its transcendental properties associated with infinity and certainty are questioned. The turmeric-dyed cotton sunprints hanging throughout the gallery will act as a balm in a dark winter, but like the shifting cycles of the sun, they will not last. Created by sunlight, they are a measure of light and time and space. In the gallery the weak winter light will cause them to fade and change over the duration of the exhibition, and as spring arrives they will leave. This exhibition is the result of a sustained period of research, experimentation and learning for the artist in new sculptural materials : glass, slip cast ceramics, large-scale natural dyeing and printing, and welded steel. The different timescales of these materials and their sometimes contradictory properties of heaviness and lightness, movement and stillness, permanency and ephemerality are explored. This exhibition offers the viewer moments of hope and transformation whilst acknowledging the darkness of our time. It reflects on a human need for ritual, repetition and communication and strives to find these things in our everyday life.Sophie Béhal is a visual artist, from Kilkenny and living in Co. Tipperary. Her work usually manifests itself as sculptural installation, often combining traditional sculptural materials of steel, clay and plaster with more ephemeral aspects of light and sound. Recent exhibitions: Awards Show, 2023, MART Dublin, With a View, Chocolate Factory, Dublin 2022, Dublin Art Book Fair, TBG+S, 2022 +2021; Projects: The Postal Project,Carlow Arts Festival 2021, Firestation Artists Sculpture Awardee 2022; Publications: Firestation FileNotes 2023.

Father Hesburgh, I thank you very much and for so many things. The distinguished honor that you've conferred upon me here today, I must say, however, compounds a sense of guilt that I have nursed for almost 50 years. I thought the first degree I was given was honorary. But it's wonderful to be here today with Governor Orr, Governor Bowen, Senators Lugar and Quayle, and Representative Hiler, these distinguished honorees, the trustees, administration, faculty, students, and friends of Notre Dame and, most important, the graduating class of 1981. Nancy and I are greatly honored to share this day with you, and our pleasure has been more than doubled because I am also sharing the platform with a longtime and very dear friend, Pat O'Brien.Pat and I haven't been able to see much of each other lately, so I haven't had a chance to tell him that there is now another tie that binds us together. Until a few weeks ago I knew very little about my father's ancestry. He had been orphaned at age 6. But now I've learned that his grandfather, my great-grandfather, left Ireland to come to America, leaving his home in Ballyporeen, a village in County Tipperary in Ireland, and I have learned that Ballyporeen is the ancestral home of the O'Briens.Now, if I don't watch out, this may turn out to be less of a commencement than a warm bath in nostalgic memories. Growing up in Illinois, I was influenced by a sports legend so national in scope, it was almost mystical. It is difficult to explain to anyone who didn't live in those times. The legend was based on a combination of three elements: a game, football; a university, Notre Dame; and a man, Knute Rockne. There has been nothing like it before or since.My first time to ever see Notre Dame was to come here as a sports announcer, 2 years out of college, to broadcast a football game. You won or I wouldn't have mentioned it.A number of years later I returned here in the company of Pat O'Brien and a galaxy of Hollywood stars for the world premiere of "Knute Rockne—All American" in which I was privileged to play George Gipp. I've always suspected that there might have been many actors in Hollywood who could have played the part better, but no one could have wanted to play it more than I did. And I was given the part largely because the star of that picture, Pat O'Brien, kindly and generously held out a helping hand to a beginning young actor.Having come from the world of sports, I'd been trying to write a story about Knute Rockne. I must confess that I had someone in mind to play the Gipper. On one of my sports broadcasts before going to Hollywood, I had told the story of his career and tragic death. I didn't have very many words on paper when I learned that the studio that employed me was already preparing a story treatment for that film. And that brings me to the theme of my remarks.I'm the fifth President of the United States to address a Notre Dame commencement. The temptation is great to use this forum as an address on a great international or national issue that has nothing to do with this occasion. Indeed, this is somewhat traditional. So, I wasn't surprised when I read in several reputable journals that I was going to deliver an address on foreign policy or on the economy. I'm not going to talk about either.But, by the same token, I'll try not to belabor you with some of the standard rhetoric that is beloved of graduation speakers. For example, I'm not going to tell you that "You know more today that you've ever known before or that you will ever know again." The other standby is, "When I was 14, I didn't think my father knew anything. By the time I was 21, I was amazed at how much the old gentleman had learned in 7 years." And then, of course, the traditional and the standby is that "A university like this is a storehouse of knowledge because the freshmen bring so much in and the seniors take so little away." You members of the graduating class of 18—or 1981—I don't really go back that far—are what behaviorists call achievers. And while you will look back with warm pleasure on your memories of these years that brought you here to where you are today, you are also, I know, looking at the future that seems uncertain to most of you but which, let me assure you, offers great expectations.Take pride in this day. Thank your parents, as one on your behalf has already done here. Thank those who've been of help to you over the last 4 years. And do a little celebrating; you're entitled. This is your day, and whatever I say should take cognizance of that fact. It is a milestone in life, and it marks a time of change.Winston Churchill, during the darkest period of the "Battle of Britain" in World War II said: "When great causes are on the move in the world . . . we learn we are spirits, not animals, and that something is going on in space and time, and beyond space and time, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."Now, I'm going to mention again that movie that Pat and I and Notre Dame were in, because it says something about America. First, Knute Rockne as a boy came to America with his parents from Norway. And in the few years it took him to grow up to college age, he became so American that here at Notre Dame, he became an All American in a game that is still, to this day, uniquely American.As a coach, he did more than teach young men how to play a game. He believed truly that the noblest work of man was building the character of man. And maybe that's why he was a living legend. No man connected with football has ever achieved the stature or occupied the singular niche in the Nation that he carved out for himself, not just in a sport, but in our entire social structure.Now, today I hear very often, "Win one for the Gipper," spoken in a humorous vein. Lately I've been hearing it by Congressmen who are supportive of the programs that I've introduced. But let's look at the significance of that story. Rockne could have used Gipp's dying words to win a game any time. But 8 years went by following the death of George Gipp before Rock revealed those dying words, his deathbed wish.And then he told the story at halftime to a team that was losing, and one of the only teams he had ever coached that was torn by dissension and jealousy and factionalism. The seniors on that team were about to close out their football careers without learning or experiencing any of the real values that a game has to impart. None of them had known George Gipp. They were children when he played for Notre Dame. It was to this team that Rockne told the story and so inspired them that they rose above their personal animosities. For someone they had never known, they joined together in a common cause and attained the unattainable.We were told when we were making the picture of one line that was spoken by a player during that game. We were actually afraid to put it in the picture. The man who carried the ball over for the winning touchdown was injured on the play. We were told that as he was lifted on the stretcher and carried off the field he was heard to say, "That's the last one I can get for you, Gipper."Now, it's only a game. And maybe to hear it now, afterward—and this is what we feared—it might sound maudlin and not the way it was intended. But is there anything wrong with young people having an experience, feeling something so deeply, thinking of someone else to the point that they can give so completely of themselves? There will come times in the lives of all of us when we'll be faced with causes bigger than ourselves, and they won't be on a playing field.This Nation was born when a band of men, the Founding Fathers, a group so unique we've never seen their like since, rose to such selfless heights. Lawyers, tradesmen, merchants, farmers—56 men achieved security and standing in life but valued freedom more. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Sixteen of them gave their lives. Most gave their fortunes. All preserved their sacred honor.They gave us more than a nation. They brought to all mankind for the first time the concept that man was born free, that each of us has inalienable rights, ours by the grace of God, and that government was created by us for our convenience, having only the powers that we choose to give it. This is the heritage that you're about to claim as you come out to join the society made up of those who have preceded you by a few years, or some of us by a great many.This experiment in man's relation to man is a few years into its third century. Saying that may make it sound quite old. But let's look at it from another viewpoint or perspective. A few years ago, someone figured out that if you could condense the entire history of life on Earth into a motion picture that would run for 24 hours a day, 365 days—maybe on leap years we could have an intermission—this idea that is the United States wouldn't appear on the screen until 31/2 seconds before midnight on December 31st. And in those 3? seconds not only would a new concept of society come into being, a golden hope for all mankind, but more than half the activity, economic activity in world history, would take place on this continent. Free to express their genius, individual Americans, men and women, in 3 1/2 seconds, would perform such miracles of invention, construction, and production as the world had never seen.As you join us out there beyond the campus, you know there are great unsolved problems. Federalism, with its built in checks and balances, has been distorted. Central government has usurped powers that properly belong to local and State governments. And in so doing, in many ways that central government has begun to fail to do the things that are truly the responsibility of a central government.All of this has led to the misuse of power and preemption of the prerogatives of people and their social institutions. You are graduating from a great private,

On March 15, 1895, thirty-five-year-old Michael Cleary murdered his wife, twenty-six-year-old Bridget Cleary in their home in Ballyvadlea, County Tipperary. While terrible, the murder was just the last act in a series of bizarre atrocities committed against Bridget, whom her husband would later claim had been taken by malevolent fairy folk and replaced with a changeling.More shocking, however, was that the barbaric act hadn't been committed by one man alone, but by a group of rural men, including family. Was Bridget Cleary really murdered out of fear of fairies? Or had Michael Cleary just convinced himself of as much in order to commit murder?ReferencesBourke, Angela. 1999.

In this exceptional birthday gift episode (dedicated to my incredible Mother), I delve into a story of intense vigilante justice amidst Canada's settlers. This is the account of the brutal massacre endured by the Black Donnellys of Biddulph, Ontario during the 19th century. The Black Donnellys, an immigrant family hailing from Ireland, gained notoriety due to allegations of their involvement in crimes and acts of violence. Eventually, they became victims themselves when the local townspeople subjected them to a savage lynching. Their narrative encompasses rural conflicts, strained community relations, vendettas rooted in religious differences, and a heartbreaking conclusion. Originally from County Tipperary, Ireland, the Donnelly family settled in the rural township of Biddulph Ontario in the mid-19th century. James and Johannah Donnelly, along with their five children—James Jr., William, Bridget, Robert, and Thomas—established a farm and integrated into the local community. However, tensions between the Donnellys and their neighbors gradually intensified. The Donnellys were viewed by many as squatters, outsiders, and criminals. The local animosity was fueled by their perceived audacious conduct and alleged involvement in numerous petty crimes. Furthermore, the religious and cultural divide between the Donnellys, who were of Irish Catholic descent, and their Protestant counterparts in the area added another layer of complexity, reviving age-old rivalries from England. Happy Birthday Mom! May this bring an extra touch of joy to your day.

One of the findings of the Census is that the proportion of the population who reported themselves to be Roman Catholic fell by 4 per cent to 69 percent between 2016 and 2022.  The number of people with no religion also increased by 62 per cent to nearly three-quarters of a million (736,210), which represented approximately 14 percent of the population. Newstalks' Chief Reporter, Barry Whyte  has been digging into the findings of today's census and joined Kieran to chat through some of the points that he has found interesting. Kieran was also joined by Parish Priest in Fethard, County Tipperary, Father Iggy O'Donovan  and CEO of Humanist Association of Ireland, Jillian Brennan.

It was the mid 1950's in County Offaly, Ireland when seventeen year old Margaret (Peg) Holland discovered she was carrying a child and was already seven months along!  Learning of their daughter's pregnancy, Peg's parents brought her to an unwed mother's home called Sean Ross Abbey in County Tipperary. It was there, after a difficult breach delivery, that Peg gave birth to a baby girl and she called her Mary. Peg's parents arrived three days after Mary's birth to bring Peg and her baby home. Sadly, despite the love received from her family, Peg was the target of unrelenting judgement and cruel comments from people in her community. In order to give Mary the best possible future, Peg made the heartbreaking decision to place her daughter up for adoption and Mary was eventually adopted by a loving family from the United Sates and grew up in Illinois.  Sometime after parting with her daughter, Peg decided that there was nothing left for her at home in Ireland, as it only reminded her of recent heartache and tears.  Therefore, Peg left Ireland and moved to the New York area and started working as a nanny. As the years passed, Peg married Mick O'Hagen and had four more children. Meanwhile, Mary grew up in a happy household, married and had a family of her own. Upon the death of her adoptive mother, Mary began to search for her birth mother.  One day in September 2008, Peg received a phone call that would change her life and the lives of her family… In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Tom Gorman, who, along with his late mother in law, Peg O'Hagen, co-authored the book titled “I Called Her Mary”, which tells a story of love, adoption and the reuniting of a mother and daughter. We will also be joined by Mary herself, who will tell  how her journey to find her birth mother resulted in the joy of an extended and loving family.  Photo(s): Courtesy of Tom Gorman Music: "With Loved Ones" Jay Man www.yourhistoryyourstory.com  www.icalledhermary.com  https://www.amazon.com/I-Called-Her-Mary-Memoir/dp/0578981939/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3ICQSBMBLNFL5&keywords=i+called+her+mary&qid=1659114483&s=books&sprefix=i+called%2Cstripbooks%2C98&sr=1-1 

Responding to Greg Dickson in Canada after he asked how we are dealing with lingering effects of a global pandemic. I have reset my behaviour and no longer think I need to go to work when I have a deep cough or flu. And now that we have restored normal service, I relish doing all the things we used to enjoy as part of life.

Don't you love a good crunchy apple? The sweetness of it never lets you down. Did you know that Ireland's commercial apple growing scene isn't really developed…. Or we should say, it was at one point and now it is not! Even though we have an ideal climate for growing apples amongst other great fruit. Apples are an integral part of Irish culinary culture and history. To prove this the first recorded pips date back to 5000 years ago, discovered at an archaeological dig in Co. Meath. These pips were almost certainly from the wild Irish crab apple Malus Sylvestris and although rare can still be found in the Irish landscape today.In the 7th and 8th centuries AD the ancient Irish Brehon Laws classed the Apple tree among the ‘seven nobles of the woods' and the fine for cutting down one of these trees was 5 milk cows and double that if the tree belonged to a chieftain!So today, you guessed it, the topic is all about Apples! We are going to find out all about these crunchy wonders of the world; from interesting history to today's growing scene. We speak to Con Traas from The Apple Farm in County Tipperary, one of Ireland's leading apple growers; We spoke to Dermot Callaghan find out about the research that's happening in the field from Teagasc; learn a little more about Ireland's craft cider industry from William O'Callaghan of Longueville House Beverages, who one of the first artisan cider producers and also speak to Elaine Garde of Future Orchard, an eco enterprise and community orchard founded in 2009.

It's time to narrow my focus so I can deliver a high quality content stream for the annual ICT in Education Conference. That means drilling down into activity streams of teachers and then harvesting interesting ideas through Notion that can be shared during the conference and on https://ictedu.ie/ict-in-education-blogI'm thinking about a routine that we're trying to choreograph for the ICT in education conference. It's an annual event. And we're late getting the proceedings underway this year, for May 14 2022, in Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland. And although that's top of my mind, what's actually as important is a series of conversations that I've had with Greg Dickson, in Alberta, Canada. Where I sit in County Tipperary, Ireland, I'm always trying to figure out a way to get stuff done--you know, better focus, accomplishment--activities that actually have collaborative value. That's my focus. That's my measure of merit. And I just want to say that, with all the little technologies that I have, and all the information that's distracting and yet helpful, I have zeroed in on a knowledge management information management method that involves Notion, plus Roam Research, and blogging in a photo stream. If everything works out the way it should, on Saturday, the 14th of May, I'll explain the process to teachers and university lecturers who attend the ICT in Education Conference. The big win today is being able to use the little Chrome extensions for the processes I just mentioned. Thanks for listening to my short little Topgold Audio Clip. I'll be back tomorrow with another. Bye for now.

This month on Tipperary's Hidden History, as we approach the centenary of the beginning of the Irish Civil War, Conor brings us the first episode in an occasional series on how that conflict played out in County Tipperary. Today he takes us to Tipperary town, a century ago this week. Free State Ireland came into being just weeks earlier. As the British army and RIC began to withdraw their forces, they faced great personal danger, with daily attacks from republicans and a hostile population. One hundred years ago today, the RIC began their evacuation of the police barracks in Tipperary town. As Conor explains, it was an evacuation, like many others across the island, that ended in bloodshed...

Laurence Sterne, (born Nov. 24, 1713, Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ire.—died March 18, 1768, London, Eng.) was an English novelist and humorist. Sterne was a clergyman in York for many years before his talents became apparent when he wrote a Swiftian satire in support of his dean in a church squabble. Turning his parishes over to a curate, he began to write Tristram Shandy (1759–67), an experimental novel issued in nine parts in which the story is subordinate to its narrator's free associations and digressions. It is considered one of the most important ancestors of psychological and stream of consciousness fiction. Long afflicted with tuberculosis, Sterne fled the damp air of England and undertook the travels that inspired his unfinished Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy (1768), a comic novel that defies conventional expectations of a travel book.From https://www.britannica.com/summary/Laurence-Sterne. For more information about Laurence Sterne:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Eddie S.

Episode #69 It's Twotonemurphy!!!! This week I get to talk to someone I have been watching on the Twitch for 11 months or so. He is one of the inspirations for starting my own stream. I ask him: What is Twitch? Do you like turtles? How do you have all that energy? Are you a gamer? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Where did the wig come from? (No wait, forgot to ask him that.) More from his website: Murph, a 30 something year old flight simmer and content creator. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland and currently based in County Tipperary, he livestreams every Monday, Wednesday and Friday showcasing Microsoft Flight Simulator and a few other bits and bobs. With a focus on general aviation aircraft, the community of the twotonemurphy Flying Circus was established, linking likeminded people together to share in their passion of aviation and flight simulation. Whether you are brand new to flight simulation or a seasoned veteran, we hope you enjoy your time with the community of Fireflies. "We have carved out our very own flight sim community and I absolutely look forward to each and every stream to fly along with you". https://www.twotonemurphy.com/ https://www.twitch.tv/twotonemurphy https://www.facebook.com/twotonemurphy/ https://twitter.com/dtwotonemurphy https://www.youtube.com/c/twotonemurphy  Music for all episodes by Jon Griffin.

In 1800s Ireland, County Tipperary was steeped in superstitions and folk traditions. Many who lived there believed in the existence of fairies. Those beliefs would result in one of the most brutal and vicious murders in Irish history: the killing of Bridget Cleary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
