PorterShed has launched 'Get PSSF Ready with PorterShed x Bertie', a new virtual accelerator designed to help tech founders prepare strong, competitive applications for the Enterprise Ireland Pre-Seed Start Fund. The programme is being piloted in partnership with MyBertie.ai, an Irish AI-powered Venture Builder platform, and is supported by the Western Development Commission. Applications open today for companies located across the West, from Malin Head to Mizen Head and everyone in between. Eligibility criteria can be found on the PorterShed website. The six-week programme kicks off on the 23rd of March and combines PorterShed's trusted startup launch track, mentorship, peer learning and founder interviews with Bertie's AI-powered copilot to guide companies toward PSSF readiness. During the pilot phase, participating founders will receive a dedicated mentor, full free access to the Bertie AI platform, and a clear sprint framework focused on sharpening commercial strategy, validating market opportunity and strengthening investment cases. The programme is aimed at tech founders with digital innovation at their core, who have carried out primary customer discovery research and have signs of early traction. As part of the pilot phase, each company commits to submitting a PSSF application within two weeks of completing their sprint. Rosemary Gallagher, Programmes Lead at PorterShed, said: "At PorterShed, our focus has always been to support the creation and scale of globally focused innovation-driven enterprises. Working with MyBertie's AI-powered venture building platform provides a timely opportunity to get Irish tech founders PSSF-ready in a self-paced, structured hybrid environment, which will translate early traction into a compelling PSSF application. The partnership between MyBertie and PorterShed is a natural fit; we are both focused on helping founders better articulate and accelerate the thing they know best – their business." Philip Reynolds, CEO of Bertie AI, said: "At myBertie.ai, our job is to help founders. Combining our own life experiences with our powerful AI Co-Pilot platform Bertie, designed specifically for start-ups, we aim to expedite the journey, accelerating the venture in a more efficient and cost-effective way. We are delighted to partner with Portershed in what will be the first virtual pilot of its type in Ireland. I congratulate them on their vision and determination in providing the best support for new businesses in the West of Ireland. Delivering results is what's important to us. Working with the team at PorterShed, we believe we can help create the next generation of global tech businesses in the West." The initiative reflects PorterShed's continued focus on strengthening the early-stage pipeline and supporting companies to scale from the West of Ireland. By piloting the Bertie AI platform regionally, the programme also creates an opportunity to test new digital venture-building infrastructure in a real-world context. Allan Mullroney, CEO of Western Development Commission, who is backing the pilot programme, said: "One of the consistent challenges we see across the region, particularly outside Galway, is not a lack of ambition or ideas, but a lack of companies that are fully investment-ready at the point capital becomes available. If we want to see more indigenous tech companies scale from places like Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo and Clare, we have to strengthen the pipeline much earlier. This programme is important because it focuses on the long-term view. It helps founders translate early traction into strong, credible funding applications, and that ultimately builds a deeper bench of investable companies across the West. For the Western Development Commission, backing initiatives like this is about ensuring that five and ten years from now, we have a broader, more geographically balanced cohort of high-potential businesses ready to grow and create jobs in their own communities."

Season 6 of the League of Ireland Women's Podcast is officially underway — and it's our most comprehensive season launch yet.Breifne Earley (@BreifneEarley) and Aaron Clarke (@LetsTalkLOIW) are joined this week by special co-host Emma Kate Dineen (@EmmaKateDineen), former LOITV commentator and Treaty United media team member, as we dive headfirst into everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 campaign.We begin by breaking down the squad movement across half the league, analysing what the ins and outs could mean for clubs chasing silverware, European spots, or stability this season. Treaty United (11:09), Wexford FC (15:57), Waterford FC (20:41), Cork City (24:05), Bohemians (32:57) and Sligo Rovers (38:31) all come under the microscope as we assess recruitment, departures and tactical direction heading into the new campaign.Shelbourne's Jess Gargan (46:07) then joins us to preview the President's Cup Final against Athlone Town on Sunday 8th March. We discuss preparation, facing the league and cup double winners, and what it would mean to start the season with silverware.Attention then turns to the Women's Development League (1:09:13), where the new season kicked off in emphatic style. We review a weekend that saw Dundalk defeat Sligo Rovers 6–0, DLR Waves put eight past Kerry, Bohemians score seven against Drogheda, Galway United impress against Peamount, and plenty more statement performances across the country.Dundalk forward Sophie Hanlon (1:17:47) joins the show after scoring a remarkable 14-minute hat-trick in that 6–0 victory. She reflects on her explosive start, the growing competitiveness of the Development League, and her ambitions for the season ahead.We then head northwest to speak with Finn Harps Director of Women's Development and Women's U17 manager Paddy McDaid (1:28:20), who outlines the importance of having an adult women's team in Donegal, the pathway for local girls to access elite football, and the significance of creating visibility for representative honours.Finally, we round up the opening weekend of the Women's U17 League (1:47:15), where Shamrock Rovers, Galway United, Athlone Town, Shelbourne, Peamount United and Bohemians all delivered eye-catching results as the next generation begins to emerge.It's a packed, in-depth start to Season 6 — from senior squad reshuffles to grassroots pathways and everything in between.

(00:00:00) Gwendolyn Ruth Dickinson talks about her grandfather William Chester Ruth (1882–1971) who was an African American machinist, inventor, and business owner from Pennsylvania. Born in Ercildoun to parents who overcame slavery, Ruth developed a passion for machinery early on, leading him to establish Ruth's Ironworks Shop in Gap, PA, in 1922. Over his career, he secured more than 50 patents for agricultural innovations, including the Combination Baler Feeder and a self-lifting farm elevator, significantly enhancing farming efficiency. Beyond his mechanical contributions, Ruth was a respected community leader and lay minister, dedicating his life to both technological advancement and spiritual guidance. (00:22:29) Donegal Performings Arts is the premier high school theater program in the Donegal School District. Each year, the program produces spectacular fall plays and spring musicals for our Central Pennsylvania community. A multidimensional theater education is the goal of the program; we hope to train students in all elements of theater: lights, sound, wardrobe, makeup, acting, singing, dancing, paint technique, set building, backstage management, and prop design. Through the training of all these skills, the theater program fosters skills of collaboration, critical thinking, communication, creativity, and empathy, making Donegal students both theater ready and life ready.

14 households in Clare have lodged appeals over the level of compensation granted to them under the Enhanced Defective Concrete Blocks Scheme. Under the scheme, homeowners affected by the defective mineral are entitled to receive up to €462,000 to rebuild or repair their property. To date there have been 180 appeals made over the approved payouts, with the vast majority coming from Donegal and just 8% stemming from Clare. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney believes most here are satisfied with the scheme, but that improvements are still needed.

Can holistic grazing systems restore degraded hillsides and create profitable farms? How can local food systems and venison products revitalise struggling rural communities? Is it possible to farm with nature rather than against it and still make a living? These are the questions we explore in our conversation with John Duffy from Future Oak Farm, who returned to County Donegal after a career in oil and gas to transform his family's traditional sheep farm into a model of regenerative agriculture.John left Donegal at 17 because he couldn't see a future in traditional farming. After 16 years working in civil engineering, mining and oil and gas exploration across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, he returned home following an industry downturn and his father's death. What brought him back wasn't nostalgia but a vision for a different kind of agriculture. Inspired by Allan Savory's holistic management and the predator-prey dynamics he'd seen in David Attenborough documentaries, John began experimenting with bunched livestock grazing that mimics natural herbivore behaviour. The results transformed not just the land but the economic viability of hill farming in one of Ireland's most challenging landscapes.Our conversation covers habitat recovery, woodland regeneration, deer management and the creation of Wild & Co, John's venison product company that's building shorter supply chains and retaining more value in rural communities. We also discuss the fragility of long supply chains, the disconnect in Ireland's food system where 70% of consumed beef is imported despite producing enough to feed ourselves three times over and why John believes the innovation needed for Irish agriculture will come from the challenging farming conditions of the West of Ireland. John offers a practical vision for how farming can support both nature and thriving rural communities.Further reading:Wild & Co | Wild Irish Venison Protein SnacksFuture Oak FarmFuture Oak Farm | InstagramWild & Co | InstagramSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookThe guest featured in this episode paid a nominal guesting fee.

eDreaming of Ireland but not sure where to start? We sit down with Lynne Nieman from Wander Your Way to map a smarter route: skip the bottlenecks, use Shannon as your launchpad, and find the coastal corners where the country's character runs deepest. We talk through the big calls travelers face—Dublin for a day or two, or straight to the west; Ring of Kerry by bus, or quieter peninsulas that pack more into fewer miles; Blarney Stone bragging rights, or ancient stone circles without the lines.Lynne helps us build an itinerary that actually breathes. Kenmare replaces Killarney as a balanced base for lakes and high peaks in Ireland's oldest national park. West Cork adds softer shorelines, Mizen Head's lighthouse walks, and food that proves Ireland's kitchen is thriving. We spotlight Kinsale's Charles Fort, colorful small towns, and the kind of pub nights where fiddles trade leads while your Guinness settles. Then we head north to Donegal—wild, remote, and wildly underrated—for dune-backed beaches, cliffy headlands, and hikes in Glenveagh's stark beauty.We also keep it practical: weather you can count on changing, layers you'll be glad you packed, and honest advice on driving the left side or hiring a driver-guide for stories and peace of mind. We touch on border realities post-Brexit, easy crossings into Northern Ireland, and where to chase waves, from beginner-friendly Lahinch to Sligo's surf scene. Along the way, we dismantle the “bad food” myth with fresh seafood, local lamb, and dairy that tastes like the fields it came from.If this guide helps you plan your route, follow the show, leave a quick rating, and share it with a friend who keeps saying Ireland is on their list.
