That’s the claim being made by billionaire John Collision of Stripe who fears this country is being stifled by red tape and can’t keep up with the demand to live, work and invest here. Minister Patrick O’Donovan also believes local authorities should be more transparent in their spending and should be brought before Oireachtas committees to explain their spending. Jerry got the views of Fianna Fáil councillor Mikey Sheehy from the Tralee Municipal District, Killarney MD’s John O’Donoghue of Kerry Independent Alliance, Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council Michael Foley of Fine Gael who represents the Listowel MD, and independent councillor for the Kenmare MC, Johnny Healy-Rae.

Our 2024 Annual Social Policy Conference was on the theme of ' Managing Change to Build a Just Society'. Ireland is going through several major transitions, each of which is only going to deepen with time. While much is changing, many of the problems facing our society are long-standing: inequality, poverty, and under-investment in our social infrastructure remain major challenges. Although the economy in Ireland has experienced record growth since the pandemic, infrastructure and services in areas such as housing, healthcare and public transport are far below the levels and standards that would be expected in a normally functioning society. Matthew Donoghue is an Assistant Professor of Social Policy, in the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice, University College Dublin. Matthew presented his paper at our 2024 Annual Social Policy Conference. All videos, papers and presentations for the 2024 Annual Social Policy conference are available for download HERE.
34 people including 15 children living in the Loreto Chapel estate in Killarney face homelessness as their landlord, Cypriot property company, Xerico Ltd, which owns 14 houses there, has begun a mass eviction process. The evictions are entirely legal, with no suggestion by the tenants that the landlords have done anything illegal. Killarney Cllr John O’Donoghue, of the Kerry Independent Alliance, and Conor Sheehan, Labour Party spokesperson on housing, think more needs to be done to protect renters from eviction.
Agatha Is Dead aus Berlin rocken so hart und sind so heiß, dass die Feuerwehr kommt. Okay, zugegebenermaßen waren die Brandschützer beim Hauptstadt-Heimspiel des Indie-Rock-Quartetts hauptsächlich deswegen vor Ort, weil die Bühnennebelmaschine den Rauchmelder auslöste. Dies und so manches mehr konnten wir vor wenigen Wochen erfahren, als die Band uns als radioeins-Lokalmatadore besuchte. Aber Sängerin Lilly Bartholomew-Günther, Gitarrist Noah Oisin O'Donoghue, Bassist Arthur Melzow und Schlagzeuger Joey Ramone Hansen (kein Witz!) sind tatsächlich derzeit eindeutig "on fire": Nach der erfolgreichen Tournee durch Deutschland (mit Abstecher nach Österreich) im September, im Rahmen derer nicht nur besagtes Berlin-Konzert ausverkauft war, steht nun der nächste große Meilenstein an, wenn nach einigen Singles am übermorgigen Freitag mit "Order" die Debüt-EP der vier erscheint. Auf dem Werk thematisieren sie nach eigener Aussage "Herzschmerz, Entfremdung und existentielle Erschöpfung, während es gleichzeitig Elemente von Resilienz und emotionaler Emanzipation enthält", und all das in den musikalischen Fußstapfen von Vorbildern wie Fontaines D.C., Bloc Party, Molchat Doma oder auch The Cure. Einen ersten Höreindruck bekommen wir heute im studioeins, denn nachdem wir Agatha Is Dead! im Interview etwas besser kennengelernt haben (und vielleicht endlich erfahren, wer Agatha eigentlich ist und warum sie dahinschied), werden sie die Bühne entern und den ein oder anderen Song von "Order" live vorstellen.

Das Berliner Indie-Rock-Quartett absolvierte just überaus erfolgreich seine erste Deutschland-Tour und veröffentlicht demnächst seine Debüt-EP. Agatha mag tot sein, aber Indie-Rock lebt und erfreut sich bester Gesundheit – wie nicht zuletzt Agatha Is Dead! eindrucksvoll beweisen. Gerade gestern kehrten die vier um Sängerin Lilly Bartholomew-Günther von einer großen Tournee zurück, die neben sieben Stopps in Deutschland (zwei davon, in Berlin und Leipzig, schon lange vorher ausverkauft!) auch einen Abstecher nach Österreich beinhaltete. Sie dürften also voller Euphorie und erzählenswerter Erlebnisse sein, wenn sie uns heute als unsere Lokalmatadore besuchen. Und da nicht nur im Fußball die Faustregel "nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel" gilt, steht auch schon das nächste feierbare Ereignis an: Am 10. Oktober veröffentlichen Lilly, Gitarrist Noah Oisin O'Donoghue, Bassist Arthur Melzow und der Schlagzeuger mit dem wundervollen Namen Joey Ramone Hansen nach einigen Singles ihre Debüt-EP "Order". Darauf eifert das im Lockdown-Winter 2021 gegründete Berliner Quartett Vorbildern wie Joy Division, Fontaines D.C., The Pretty Reckless oder auch Bloc Party nach, ergänzt das Ganze um eine spannende eigene Note und präsentiert vier Songs, die heavy, hypnotisch und zutiefst emotional sind.

Concern tertiary students are having to choose extra work over studying - to keep up with increased living costs. More than 34-million-dollars in hardship funds has been given out by institutions since 2020. Victoria University's Student Association spokesperson, Aidan Donoghue, says things haven't improved much since Covid. He told Andrew Dickens they received 940 applications for their Winter Energy Grant this year, compared to 265 two years ago. Donoghue says every application is limited to one address - so that's 940 households.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode features Gabe Donoghue and Jas Mohmood, the co-founders of The Bohemian Bespoke, a label that blends traditional tailoring methods with a fresh, modern point of view. In this conversation, Gabe and Jas share how they've built a creative partnership rooted in craftsmanship, individuality, and a desire to make bespoke tailoring feel more personal and expressive.We explore how they transformed their shared passion into a label that reimagines what bespoke tailoring can be. While rooted in time honoured techniques, their work breaks away from convention blending classic construction with bold, contemporary expression. They talk about the early challenges of launching The Bohemian Bespoke, the creative risks that defined their style, and their mission to make tailoring more artistic, culturally relevant, and reflective of identity.This episode offers a unique look into the evolution of bespoke through a modern lens where the rules are respected but never followed blindly.
Following the breakdown of her long-term relationship in 2021, Orla Donoghue became a single parent to her then one-year-old son, Rory. The transition, however, was far from easy. As a new mother, she grappled with feelings of isolation, shame and uncertainty and despite the fact that one in five households in Ireland are single parent families, she also found the experience deeply isolating. However, it was this difficult experience that ultimately led her to set up Solas Coaching, a support space dedicated to helping other single parents. In today's episode, Donoghue talks to Róisín Ingle about finding her footing as a solo parent, the importance of asking for help and why she's passionate about supporting others in difficult times.

This week on Menomorphosis, I'm joined by hypnotherapist Rebecca Donoghue for a powerful, honest conversation about one of the most emotionally charged topics right now: weight loss jabs — and the stories our bodies carry through midlife.This isn't about shame, and it's definitely not about blame. It's about awareness. Because the truth is — we don't reach for food or quick fixes because we're weak. We reach for them because a part of us is trying to feel safe, and most of us were never taught how to meet that need without self-abandoning in the process.In this episode, we explore:✨Why weight loss jabs might treat a symptom - but never rewire emotional eatingThe key question to ask if you keep repeating the same food and self-care patternsHow to untangle your identity from your appearance, without losing your ambitionThe deeper emotional and energetic drivers behind the urge to control your bodyWhat actually helps change stick — and why your ‘why' matters more than any toolWhether you've tried the jab, judged the jab, or feel stuck between extremes — this episode brings nuance, clarity, and compassion to a topic most people oversimplify.To download Rebecca's FREE guide 'It's not your fault' go to https://linktr.ee/iamrebeccadonoghueOr https://www.instagram.com/iamrebeccadonoghue/ Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.

The Victoria University of Wellington Students Association is turning heads with its new campaign. “No work. Sh*t pay. Why stay?” is the slogan for their “Where's the Work?” campaign. The group is aiming to draw attention to the record number of students ditching the country for prospects overseas. Engagement Vice President Aidan Donoghue told Ryan Bridge they've seen within the public sector to lower the roles offered, and they want to encourage the private sector to pick up the slack instead. He says we either let these people go and likely never see them again, or we keep them inhouse and try expand industries within New Zealand.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick takes a deep dive into one of the most chaotic and heavily criticized seasons in Saturday Night Live history: Season 20, also known as The Bad Boys Club Season. Following the departure of core cast members like Phil Hartman, Rob Schneider, and Julia Sweeney, the show found itself leaning hard into the rowdy, often crude humor of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, and David Spade—while sidelining much of the female cast, including Janine Garofalo, who left midway through the season. The cast was bloated, the writing uneven, and the press relentless. Nick walks through the entire season with behind-the-scenes stories, including how Jeff Daniels nearly suffered a serious makeup mishap, why Dan Aykroyd unofficially hosted instead of the listed John Goodman, and how the writers struggled with brilliant hosts like Bob Newhart, John Turturro, David Hyde Pierce, and Courtney Cox—while completely losing control during hosting gigs by George Foreman and Deion Sanders. Despite its rough reputation, the season had its moments: Norm Macdonald took over the Weekend Update desk, Molly Shannon made a strong debut halfway through, and both Damon Wayans and Dana Carvey returned to deliver some much-needed highlights. You'll also hear Stuart Smalley hilariously scolding the public for ignoring his movie, and Bill Murray delivering a moving tribute to the late Michael O'Donoghue. It's a full look at one of SNL's messiest, most fascinating seasons—flawed, but unforgettable. [Ep 122]

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick welcomes film expert, exhibitor, and historian Mike Kerz to the podcast to talk about his lifelong love for Saturday Night Live—a passion that began in his teen years when he would record each episode's audio with a portable tape recorder. As the co-creator of the Flashback Weekend Horror Convention and co-owner of The Midway Drive-In in Dixon, Illinois, Mike shares how SNL influenced both his sense of humor and his professional ventures. They count down Mike's 5 Favorite SNL Sketches of All Time, highlighting iconic performances from Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jane Curtin, and the darkly brilliant Michael O'Donoghue, whose work Mike especially admires. The conversation also includes a deep dive into what many consider to be the greatest SNL sketch ever: The Last Voyage of the Star Trek Enterprise—a true classic that gets the attention and appreciation it deserves. [Ep 120]
Today on the show, we hear from authors who were inspired by history in wildly different ways. First, when Emma Donoghue encountered a famous photo of the 1895 Montparnasse derailment, she says she couldn't believe no one had written a novel about it. Donoghue's The Paris Express imagines what life was like for passengers on the old-fashioned steam locomotive. In today's episode, she talks with NPR's Steve Inskeep about the extensive historical research she conducted in order to write the book. Then, Bob the Drag Queen has called Harriet Tubman "the first Black superhero." In Bob's debut novel Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert, Tubman returns to continue her work as an abolitionist through hip-hop. In today's episode, Bob speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about the idea of freedom, Tubman's military service, and a recent appearance on The Traitors.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
We are very excited to discuss what is widely considered the VERY BEST of the SNL-related movies. A project filled with artistic precision, coherency, and directorial flourishes that taps directly into the zeitgeist possibly better than anything to ever come out of Saturday Night Live.April Fools! Our topic is Mr. Mike's Mondo Video - the film promoted as "the television show too dangerous for television." (Which we are genuinely excited about.) It is a film that confounded critics and audiences alike when it premiered in the fall of 1979. Has much changed since then?Dennis Perrin returns to discuss the origins of this curious project, helping chronicle how it went from Saturday Night Live off-week special to “full length” feature film. We examine what worked (there are some things), what didn't (there are many more), and what the project reveals about both Michael O'Donoghue and the state of comedy in the late 70s.And, just to show how MONDO this project truly is... there are some things even Dennis can't figure out.---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com
