We almost needed 90 minutes to get through a weekend where every club played 180 minutes in a league that is going the full 360 in terms of storylines. Since our last show, we've had several open letters, one managerial departure, two injury time goals for the ages and the death of a pontiff. And that's before we even get to Marc Canham. We eventually manage to do that after hearing a little bit of John Caulfield and Damien Duff and more about the Galway United old lads Whatsapp group. There's a bit of Mauro Picotto, the mandatory Father Ted nostalgia, a Jeff Bezos tribute in Drogheda and Louth being very proud. Throw in Johnny's fine dining update and speculation about a managerial party that will never happen and this Future Ticketing, Sport Cosanta, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewing sponsored bonanza might just qualify for the good 15pc that makes the other 85pc of life worth it.

Today I am joined on the podcast by Haunted Images!Haunted Images is the singular vision of Louth based producer and songwriter David O'Farrell-McGeary, who has previously been on the podcast under the david ofmg. Under this guise David creates beautiful, ethereal alt-rock shoegaze. Juxtaposing modern alt-metal influences Deftones and Deafheaven, against the left field ambience of Aphex Twin and shoegaze mainstays My Bloody Valentine, gives David his signature sound. One that, in equal parts, shimmers like a graceful celestial body, while at the same time with the dense wall of sound production, cascades over you like wave. Following the successful release of singles ‘if you want', ‘grey days', ‘sometimes' and the stunning ‘stay awake', which caught the attention of Hot Press, Golden Plec, Genuine Irish, Pure M Zine, Independent.ie, Ragged Cast and Rock N Load, David now returns with his self titled album, Haunted Images. This marks his largest and most realised body of work to date. An album that lyrically comes from a place of deep introspection and thematically addresses forgiveness in many different forms, an album that seeks to bring light to the impending darkness.I'll be going through the album with David, talking about his favourite songs on it, the stylistic changes from his previous work, the imagery created for the album by the extremely talented Chloe Harte, the creative balance on working on your own music and whole bunch more. The album is out tomorrow and there is also an album launch party at The Watchtower, McHughs in Drogheda on the 25th of April with Khidye as the supporting act!Original photograph for the artwork by Matt Gorman.haunted images on BandcampTickets for the album launch party Hosted on Acast.

Interview by Patrick Cooke

Paul Doolin and James Keddy have shared plenty of long car journeys in their time and, after several false starts, we finally convinced them to reunite in Oliver Marketing. They were team-mates at Derry City and Shelbourne before switching to a player-manager dynamic when James worked under Paul at Drogheda. We mull over whether Paul was ahead of his time, and if he was always angry or just misunderstood while James talks about his future managerial ambitions as he reflects on his time at Wexford. Before that we've a packed mailbag with all of the usual tit-for-tat with 10 v 12 team league, Waterford woe, Darragh Markey's tigerish slippers and the joy of a stand behind the goal all featuring. It's a pod that could have been sponsored by Friends Reunited but we instead thank Collar & Cuff, Rascals Brewing, Sport Cosanta and Future Ticketing

Lidl Ireland and the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) are gearing up for an action-packed weekend of National Football League Finals across all four divisions, with Armagh, Kerry, Cork and Galway all battling it out at Croke Park, while Cavan, Wexford, Antrim and Fermanagh will target silverware in Drogheda and Clones.   The scene is set for four intriguing ties – as captains and representatives from the eight competing teams gathered in Dublin today ahead of the weekend fixtures.   The Divisions 1 and 2 Finals will form an exciting double-header at Croke Park next Saturday, April 12, with the Divisions 3 and 4 Finals to be contested next Sunday, April 13, in Drogheda and Clones respectively.   In the Division 2 Final, which will precede the Division 1 showpiece, Cork and Galway will battle it out for silverware after claiming promotion.   Relegated from Division 1 in 2024, Cork and Galway have bounced back to the top tier at the first attempt, and will now look to put the icing on a sweet-tasting Lidl National League cake by landing the trophy on offer.  Armagh, Kerry, Cork and Galway were also the 2024 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-finalists, proof positive that all four teams have carried last year's encouraging form into the 2025 season.   So, will Kerry gain revenge on Armagh after losing last year's Lidl NFL Division 1 Final, and move ahead of Cork in the all-time roll of honour with a 13th Division 1 title? Or will Armagh get the better of the Kingdom again at Croke Park to claim their second crown?   All will be revealed, as Galway target a first Division 2 title win since 2014, while Cork eye second tier glory for the first time since 2003.   Galway captain Katie Geraghty was in attendance at the LIDL National League Finals media day and she spoke to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. ==

Sligo based engineering firm Jennings O'Donovan are one of the first organisations in Ireland to use new digital technology to reward staff with a local gift card. Jennings O'Donovan used the technology available through their local Town & City Gift Card to reward their 90+ staff with an e-card as a Christmas reward. The new tech allowed the firm to send the digital Love Sligo Gift Cards to staff on a chosen day and time, ensuring all staff members received their reward at the same time. Focused on renewable energy, water supply and wastewater treatment across Ireland, Jennings O'Donovan said the new way of rewarding their team digitally had a number of benefits over physical gift cards, while the local element allowed their employee reward investment to benefit the local economy. David Kiely is director at Jennings O'Donovan and commented: "As a Sligo based organisation, we feel the need to give back to the community, support local businesses and support placemaking efforts in the town too. A strong town attracts new industry and encourages new businesses, which is a real positive for Sligo. Choosing our local Town & City Gift Card, the Love Sligo Gift Card, meant the €30,000 we invested in our team rewards went directly into the local economy, and stayed in the local economy. "Another reason for moving to the Love Sligo Gift Card was the zero commission that businesses have to pay to accept the card, so if a team member spends €50 with a local shop, the shop keeps the full €50. Lots of retailers, restaurants and other businesses accept the Love Sligo Gift Card, so there was plenty of choice for our team. "Our employees were told in advance that they'd be receiving their digital Love Sligo Gift Card reward by email. The ease of use for us in administering the digital card over a physical card was brilliant. We have a hybrid working system which means that not all employees are in the office at the same time. In the past, this has meant we couldn't get the cards to the staff member in person, so they had to then be posted out. With the digital Love Sligo Gift Card, everyone received their reward at the same time. "The Love Sligo Gift Card has been well received by staff, particularly the ease and choice. Some staff members used their card to put fuel in their cars, others used their card at the supermarket or the DIY store. People may not always want to spend their reward on discretionary items, and the Love Sligo Gift Card offers our team the chance to spend as they choose. "As local employers and organisations, it is very important that we are involved in, and support our town centres. Local businesses have had, and continue to face many challenges, and choosing the Love Sligo Gift Card is a tangible way that we have been able to give our local businesses a lift." The Town & City Gift Card initiative is active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Cavan, Donegal Town, Drogheda, Kilkenny, Letterkenny, Limerick, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford and County Wexford. The cards can be spent with a variety of local businesses, making them popular for employee rewards. €10.5 million of Town & City Gift Cards were purchased in Ireland in 2024, up from €7 million in 2023. Local gift card sales in Ireland are expected to exceed €15 million in 2025. In Sligo, over €1.5 million Love Sligo Gift Cards were purchased between November 2023 and November 2024, with around 70% of sales dedicated to local organisations purchasing the gift card for employee rewards. Over €1.1million of the overall sales figure has now been redeemed across 240 Sligo businesses by way of 29,000 plus in store transactions. The Love Sligo Gift Card was introduced by Sligo BID in association with County Sligo LEADER Partnership to drive spend in Sligo. Cards can be spent with around 240 participating businesses, driving footfall in the town. Gail McGibbon, CEO at Sligo BID said: "We are proud to see well-respected Sligo firm Jennings O'Donovan leading the way with l...

Plans have been unveiled for a new digital gift card for Mullingar to replace their popular gift vouchers. In circulation since 2012, over €2.5 million of Mullingar Gift Vouchers have been sold to date, with over €500,000 of the paper vouchers sold in 2024 alone. Led by Mullingar Chamber, a wide variety of Mullingar businesses are eligible to accept the card including shops, restaurants, pubs, attractions, salons and hotels. Businesses who are part of the Chamber can accept the card commission free. The forthcoming Mullingar Digital Gift Card will be available as either a physical or a digital gift card. It will work with merchants' existing payment terminals, with no additional equipment required. Mullingar Chamber says the move to the high-tech gift card offers a number of improvements for local businesses, customers and organisations. James Bourke, president at Mullingar Chamber said: "The paper gift vouchers have been very successful for our economy with €2.5 million in sales to date. Every euro spent locally is worth €4 to the local economy, so that €2.5 million has benefited our economy to the tune of €10 million. Of course, there are the usual drawbacks of paper vouchers, such as people not being able to get change from their paper voucher and the administration involved for businesses in getting paid. "Our forthcoming Mullingar Gift Card will be easy for customers and organisations to use as gifts, and businesses to accept, making the initiative even more appealing and helping us develop our strong 'shop local' ethos in Mullingar further. People want to see the businesses they love open and busy, and our new gift card is essential to helping Mullingar to thrive. "We encourage all retail, hospitality, and service providers to register to accept the new gift card prior to its launch so they can benefit from the footfall and spend the initiative will bring." The Mullingar Gift Card will be part of the multi-award-winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Cavan, Donegal Town, Drogheda, Kilkenny, Letterkenny, Limerick, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford and County Wexford. Colin Munro is the managing director of Miconex and said: "Merchants can register to accept the forthcoming Mullingar Gift Card with a simple one-time registration. We've supported a number of towns and cities in Ireland making the move from paper vouchers to a high-tech gift card and the feedback from merchants, consumers and organisations is incredibly positive, with all appreciating the ease of use, support for local and choice."

His statue may stand proudly outside the Houses of Parliament in London, but in Ireland, Oliver Cromwell is remembered as “the Devil from over the Sea” for the bloodshed he unleashed there from 1649 to 1653.  Rising to prominence as a Parliamentarian during the English Civil Wars, Oliver Cromwell sought revenge against the Catholics who had killed Protestant colonists in Ireland during the rebellion of 1641.  Soon after overseeing the execution of King Charles I, Cromwell feared that Ireland would be used as a backdoor to England by Royalists, and he took violent measures to stop that from happening. The sieges at Drogheda and Wexford saw some of the worst massacres to occur in Irish history. What happened to ordinary people during the misery of the 1650s? And what legacy did the Cromwellian Conquest leave in Ireland? Listen as Anita and William are joined once again by Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, author of Making Empire: Ireland, Imperialism and the Early Modern World, to discuss how Irish Catholics were displaced and dispossessed as a result of the Cromwellian Conquest.   _____________ Empire UK Live Tour: The Booze & Brews live show is going on a UK tour! William and Anita will be discussing the extraordinary history of ordinary drinks such as tea, Indian Pale Ale and gin & tonic, highlighting how interconnected our drinks cabinets are with the British Empire.

Marc O'Driscoll, RTÉ North East Correspondent, brings us up to date with the latest developments in the case of Kyran Durnin.

SINN FÉIN CAN WIN THIS ELECTION.  During the General Election campaign I have been in several constituencies. In Dublin, in Drogheda, Dundalk, and Donegal and some other places in between. People are clearly  fed up with the cost of living, the crisis in public services, especially in health and housing, childcare and disability services. Sanctions urgently needed against IsraelLast Wednesday was World Children's Day. It was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare. It is also the date in 1959 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It is also the date in 1989 when the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child.Solidarity and Condolences to the family of Pat DonaghyAs I finish this column I got the sad news that Pat Donaghy has died. Originally from Tremoge near Carrickmore in County Tyrone Pat emigrated to the United States in the 1950s. Like many others he went looking for work because work was sparse for northern nationalists in unionism's apartheid northern state. He was in his late teens. His older sister Nora sponsored him. Pat was the sixth of fifteen children. Phyllis, Peggy and Bella along with Nora had already emigrated. Other siblings born after Pat and the older sisters also emigrated.

The Council of State were convinced that only General Cromwell could deliver victory in Ireland; and Cromwell used this to negotiate the best possible supply of men, money and material. From August 1649 to May 1650 Cromwell's campaign brought the Confederacy close to defeat, and he visited two infamous atrocities on the towns of Drogheda and Wexford. Hosted on Acast.
