Loneliness isn't the urgent crisis we've been led to believe. It's not a new problem. It's not an emergency and it's not beyond our control says psychiatrist and Professor at Trinity College Dublin Brendan Kelly. Almost everyone goes through times when we feel lonely. It's an unchanging part of human life. And while it can be a challenge for many people, Dr Kelly argues that mislabelling loneliness as an epidemic and medicalizing normal human experiences can distract us from long-term solutions. Professor Kelly joins us from Dublin.

This week on We Are T1D, Mike and Jack are in stitches as they share a listener story from Liam in Dublin — and trust us, it's one for the ages.What starts as a chill Friday night pint with friends quickly spirals into low blood sugar mayhem: spilled beer, frantic carb-grabbing, a very nosey dog, and the new nickname “Liam the Low Machine.”If you've ever had a hypo strike at the worst possible time, you'll relate hard. Liam's story perfectly captures how Type 1 diabetes is equal parts terrifying and hilarious — especially when you're wobbling like a toddler while trying not to soak your mates.Expect laughs, tangents, and classic Mike & Jack banter as they break it down.In this episode:Liam's Dublin night out gone wrong (and right)The dog that made everything 10x more chaoticBouncing sugars, pint spills & “acting normal” failsWhy T1D is terrifying and hilarious in equal measureMemorable Quote:"It's little disasters like that that make T1D terrifying and hilarious." – LiamConnect with Us:Email: wearet1dpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: www.wearet1d.comInstagram: @t1d_mike & @t1d_jackWhatsApp Community: Join hereExtra Resource:Diabetes UK – Hypoglycaemia (hypos)Hashtags:#Type1Diabetes #T1DLife #DiabetesPodcast #WeAreT1D #T1DCommunity #T1DHumour #PubStories

It was a new dawn. Or at least so Tony Blair said, as he emerged from his landslide victory in the 1997 General Election. It's what he would say, isn't it?Still, there was some truth to the claim. It was the end of eighteen years of Conservative rule. Eleven of them had been under the Iron lady, Maggie Thatcher. And whatever her achievements, she had certainly been the most divisive leader since the Second World War, as she made clear by explicitly breaking with the consensus politics that had marked the postwar scene up to her. It was also revealed in the deeply divided reactions to her death in 2013, with tributes from some (including Tony Blair) and celebration (Ding-dong, the witch is dead) from others.She'd been followed by John Major, in a government marked above all by division within his own party, as well as some blunders. Also marked, however, by one big breakthrough: the beginning of a peace process in Northern Ireland which he couldn't take through to completion, but which got some momentum behind it all the same.That's the theme the episode concludes with, because it fell to Tony Blair's government to take that process forward. Its work would lead to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. That would only be possible thanks to the unflagging support of the governments in both Dublin and London and, indeed, in Washington DC.As well as to the courage and willingness to go out on a limb of an extraordinary woman, the first female Northern Ireland Secretary and someone of outstanding firmness of will combined with willingness to negotiate to anyone she needed to win around. And who was she?Why, she was Mo Mowlam.Illustration: Mo Mowlam.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 12, 2025 is: flummox • FLUM-uks • verb To flummox someone is to confuse or perplex them. // The actor was easily flummoxed by last-minute changes to the script. See the entry > Examples: “If Thursday crosswords flummox you, remember that it's much better for your stress level to do your best and sharpen your skills than to become angry because you aren't sure what's going on.” — Deb Amlen, The New York Times, 11 June 2025 Did you know? When it comes to the origins of flummox, etymologists are, well, flummoxed. No one really knows where the word comes from. The first known print use of the verb flummox appeared in Charles Dickens' novel The Pickwick Papers in the mid-1830s, while the adjective flummoxed appeared italicized a few years earlier in a Dublin newspaper article about laborers striking against employers who oppose their rights: “Lord Cloncurry is actually flummoxed. The people refuse to work for him.” To be flummoxed by something is to be utterly confused by it—that is, to be baffled, puzzled, bewildered, completely unable to understand. Fortunately, a word can be used even if everyone is flummoxed by its etymology, and by the end of the 19th century, flummox had become quite common in both British and American English.

Eoghan McCabe is the Co-founder and CEO of Intercom, building Fin.ai, the AI customer service company.This was an extremely candid, two hour conversation going inside every detail of how Intercom was the first late stage software company to successfully re-architect itself to be AI-native.Intercom just announced they've built their own customer service-focused AI models, and Eoghan explains why most software companies will have to do the same.We also talk through the lessons he learned coming back to run Intercom in 2022 after stepping back in 2020, why many AI companies have strong negative gross margins despite the narrative, how Intercom designed AI's first outcome-based pricing model, the challenges of buying AI software today, the importance of brand when building new products, and we get in the wayback machine, talking through the pain raising Intercom's initial million dollar Seed round, and how venture capital has changed since then.Thank you to Eoghan's Co-founder Des Traynor for helping me brainstorm topics for the conversation.Special thanks to Ramp for supporting this episode.

1980s Dublin wasn't all emigration and recession. There was great music, mad nights out and a capital city bursting with homegrown talent. Irish rock icons Leslie Dowdall of In Tua Nua and Flo McSweeney of Toy With Rhythm and Moving Hearts were at the epicentre of it and now they have teamed up to present Natural Women, a collaboration which will see them covering songs by 1970s songwriting legends Carole King and Linda Ronstadt in Vicar Street. They came in to talk to host Roisin Ingle about their 1980s heyday, the scene in the Pink Elephant nightclub and why they wanted to make music together after all these years. They even give us a bit of a song. But first, Irish Times Opinion Editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to talk about some of the biggest stories of the week including the at home cervical screening that has arrived in the UK and the presidential chances of conservative Catholic Maria Steen.

Ireland's electric vehicle market is booming, with registrations up 69% in August and over 20,000 new EVs licensed so far in 2025 - a 37% increase year-on-year. With one in six new cars now electric, EVs are becoming the mainstream choice for both drivers and businesses. This rapid growth makes the return of the Nevo Electric Vehicle Show to Dublin's RDS Simmonscourt this November especially timely - uniting industry leaders, public sector decision-makers and consumers for Ireland's largest ever showcase of electric mobility, clean energy and sustainable transport. The Nevo Electric Vehicle Show, in partnership with Bank of Ireland, is set to return to Dublin's RDS Simmonscourt this November with its most ambitious programme yet. Running across two days, Friday 7th November for businesses and Saturday 8th November for the general public, it will be Ireland's largest ever event dedicated to electric vehicles, clean energy, and sustainable mobility. Bank of Ireland is once again the show's title partner in 2025 while SSE Airtricity will continue as the exclusive Energy Partner, reflecting the growing importance of energy solutions in driving Ireland's shift to electrification. Every automotive brand operating in Ireland will be present, alongside exhibitors spanning public and home charging, solar energy, personal and public electric transport, smart home technology and wider energy services. Business day, on Friday, 7 November, is designed to help businesses, fleets, and the Public Sector of all sizes plan for a sustainable future. With climate targets looming, the event will bring together CEOs, CFOs, Heads of Fleet and Sustainability from across Ireland. The agenda will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions and case studies from organisations already transitioning to electric mobility. Workshops will be hosted throughout the day by GEOTAB, ESB, SSE, Activ8 Energies and Pragmatica, covering topics such as fleet management, smart energy, and business strategy development. The goal is to empower decision-makers to accelerate their journey towards net zero while also gaining practical advice on costs, infrastructure, and policy. For the general public on Saturday, 8 November, the Nevo EV Show promises a full day of discovery, excitement and hands-on experiences. Over 120 electric vehicles will be on display across 56 stands, representing 34 car brands. Nissan is confirmed as the official vehicle launch partner this year, where the brand will unveil the all-new Micra and the latest Leaf, marking their first official appearance in Ireland, giving visitors an exclusive first look. More than 30 vehicles will be available to test drive as part of the SSE Airtricity Driving Experience, while ESB ecars will showcase 12 vehicles in the new live demonstration area with EV expert Derek Reilly offering insights into performance, design and features. Visitors can also look forward to exclusive vehicle launches from more leading brands, expert panel discussions on everything from vehicle grants to charging, and a chance to explore the very latest in sustainable transport solutions. Attendance is once again expected to be significant! Organisers are targeting 10,000 registrations for the business day and 20,000 attendees for the public day, backed by a nationwide marketing campaign and strong support from event partners including Bank of Ireland, SSE Airtricity, ESB ecars, GEOTAB, ZEVI and SEAI. The Nevo EV Show aims to build on the extraordinary success of last year's event, which attracted almost 20,000 visitors. With a broader programme, bigger displays and more vehicles than ever before, the 2025 edition is shaping up to be Ireland's definitive showcase of the electric future. Admission is free, but registration is required. Tickets for both the Business Day and Public Day are available now at nevo.ie.

In previous years, activities have included neon bike discos, community tree planting, environmental-themed movie screenings, fashion swap shops, sustainable foodie trails, neighbourhood dinner parties and climate comedy nights. Furthermore, the Ireland Chapter of PMI is sharing its expertise with An Taisce and will be encouraging its 3,500 members to participate in the celebrations and run events in their workplaces, schools, colleges and communities. Cathy Baxter, Education and Community Action Director, An Taisce, said: "We are delighted to partner with the Ireland Chapter of PMI in 2025 to bring Climate Action Week to the next level. Already, I can see our Climate Action Team benefitting from their extensive project management experience, and we are excited to see how this relationship evolves in An Taisce." The increasing importance of sustainability Recent survey findings* from the Ireland Chapter of the PMI show that three-quarters (75%) of project management professionals in Ireland think organisations are more interested in sustainability compared to a year ago. Furthermore, some 45% of project management professionals have already been involved in managing projects driving sustainability. Meanwhile, 90% of respondents think project management is important for achieving sustainability goals. When it comes to managing projects, only one in ten (10%) project management professionals are of the opinion that sustainability is not important. Peter Glynne, President of the Ireland Chapter of PMI, added: "At a time when sustainability is an ever-increasing priority for Irish organisations, it is ever more important for people to work together and take action. By collaborating with An Taisce on Climate Action Week, we hope to encourage and empower people to do something which has real social impact and benefits our planet."

Grinds360 has announced the launch of its platform focused on supporting students in the Junior Cycle, offering support that gives their members unrestricted access covering 11 subjects. This is the first of its kind solution, which follows a year of success for the business having entered the Senior Cycle market in September 2024. This expansion signals the growing demand for digital and hybrid solutions to learning, with students across Ireland now having access to affordable, high quality grinds. Founded by Ronan Murdock and Brendan Kavanagh, Grinds360 was created out of a shared commitment to both accessibility and excellence in education. The team of dedicated teachers working at Grinds360 recognised a growing gap in Ireland's traditional grinds industry, with its solution posed to democratise access to grinds across the country. With the combination of advanced technology, personalised support, flexibility and teacher quality already working to lessen the pressure on senior cycle students, Grinds360 has established itself as the go-to, digital alternative to traditional grind schools. This approach is now being offered to students preparing for their Junior Cycle exams, combining some of Ireland's leading teachers with cutting-edge technology and an innovative hybrid model. Grinds360 is offering Junior Cycle students and parents two flexible learning plans: a One Year Plan for €899 or a Two Year Plan for students starting in 2nd Year for €1,399. This includes weekly live grinds (available currently for Maths, English, Irish, and Science), on-demand lessons and online masterclasses in 7 other subjects, textbooks, digital notes, a study skills programme, and access to the online Summer Irish Programme, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to succeed. "We're bringing the same successful model from Leaving Cert to Junior Cycle, one membership provides unlimited access to all 11 subjects and every revision course, no restrictions. Plus, members get live weekly grinds in English, Irish, Maths, and Science. Tapping into how young people normally interact with and retain information like this makes learning more intuitive, fun and engaging. "This is especially important for Junior Cycle students entering secondary school, who are often gaining access to digital tools in the classroom for the first time. Something as simple as having access to a quick lesson on the daily commute to school is setting a new benchmark for how education is being delivered in Ireland," said CEO and Co-Founder of Grinds 360, Ronan Murdock, speaking on this news. One year on from launch, Grinds360 has achieved explosive growth with over 3,000 paying members and 18,000 app users. With 65% of signups coming from outside of Dublin to date, the edtech company now wants to give junior cycle students the same access. Brendan Kavanagh, Chairman and Co-Founder, added: "We've already seen our approach enhance Leaving Certificate preparation in Ireland, now we're doing the same for students ahead of the Junior Cycle exams. The earlier young people receive tailored support, unique to their needs and ways of learning, the better. But no student should feel forced to move to a grind school to access this support. This breaks the bond with their school, teachers, and classmates. Grinds360 offers young people a better solution and a choice, and it's a privilege to be a part of driving this change forward." Students can now sign up for Grinds360 on their website, with grinds in both the Leaving and Junior Cycle. Subjects available at Junior Cycle level include English, Irish, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Business Studies, Home Economics, Spanish, German and French. See more stories here.

Averill Earls is an associate professor in history at St. Olaf's College and her research focuses on sexuality and modern Ireland. Her writing has appeared in the Journal of the History of Sexuality, Historical Reflections (in the top-visited issue of the journal to date), Perspectives Magazine, Nursing Clio, and Notches Blog. In 2021 she was awarded the Judith R. Walkowitz Article Prize for her 2020 article, "Solicitor Brown and His Boy." Prof. Earls is also one of the four feminist historians and award-winning podcasters who founded Dig: A History Podcast in 2017. Love in the Lav: A Social Biography of Same-Sex Desire in Ireland, 1922-1972 (Temple UP, 2025) tells the unexpected, sometimes heartbreaking, stories of Dublin's men who desired men and the Gardaí who policed them. The book uncovers Ireland's queer lives of the past. Averill Earls investigates how same-sex-desiring men lived and loved in a country where their sexuality was illegal and seen as unnatural. Across seven social biographical chapters, each highlighting individuals at the nexus of these histories, Earls constructs a narrative of experiences through the larger contexts in which they are embedded. She uses courtroom testimonies, police records, and family history archives as well as “educated speculation” to show how structures governing male same-sex desire in Ireland played out on the bodies of the men who desired men, the teen boys who sold sex to men, and the way the Catholic-nationalist ethos shaped the Gardaí who policed them. Love in the Lav examines the experiences of people such as cabbie James Hand, who was put on trial for gross indecency, to provide a window into the queer working-class subculture of 1930s Dublin. Earls also focuses on issues of consent, especially with teens, and the unregulated queer Irish world of public figures, including Micheál Mac Liammóir, Hilton Edwards, Ronald Brown, and John Broderick. By examining twentieth-century Ireland through the lived experiences of ordinary same-sex-desiring Irish men who were relegated to obscurity by Irish society, Earls reveals the contradictions, possibilities, and magnitude of postcolonial Irish Catholic nationalism.

Laura Hawkins is the founder of Gamemasters Escape Solutions, a creator and operator of high-performing escape rooms for hotels and resorts. After a successful career making viral television advertising, she discovered escape rooms on a European trip. She turned a passion project into a 14-room operation and a turnkey hotel amenity business (including installs at Atlantis, The Bahamas). She joins us to talk revenue, resorts, and escape room design. • Budget-season hot take: maximize social first and add hyper-targeted print ads if you have the cash. • From receptionist to rainmaker: Laura hustled her way off the front desk and into award-winning ads. • “Just Slow Down”: the graphic traffic-safety campaign that made her the Quentin TarantinA of Winnipeg. • Vacation plot twist: one so-so Dublin escape room → Athens upgrade → Paris hook → new career. • Resorts love it: low staff, durable props, and constant revenue. • Corporate catnip: team-building, communication, respectful-collaboration—plus a true differentiator vs. the hotel next door. • Design recipe: theme first → story → tactile puzzles (knobs, secret doors, scents)… and yes, limes. • Player pro tip: communicate, inventory the space, and OPEN. THE. DRAWERS. Our Top Three Takeaways: 1. Escape Rooms Are a High-ROI Amenity for Hotels and Resorts Laura emphasized that escape rooms offer hotels a unique way to generate revenue while differentiating from competitors. Unlike spas or waterparks, escape rooms appeal to a wider demographic—from families with young kids to teenagers, grandparents, wedding parties, and corporate groups. They're low-labor, durable, and cost far less to install and maintain, while still driving constant guest traffic and ancillary spending at restaurants and bars. 2. Immersive Entertainment Strengthens Guest Connection For Laura, the heart of escape rooms is shared experience. Guests disconnect from screens, collaborate face-to-face, and leave with stories they'll continue discussing long after the game. This creates a sense of joy and connection that builds loyalty and word-of-mouth—two of the strongest assets for hotels seeking repeat visits and community engagement. 3. Differentiation Requires Courage and Creativity Laura challenged hotels to show more boldness in shaping guest experiences. Too many properties look the same, leaving price as the only deciding factor. By embracing immersive, playful, and customizable amenities—like themed escape rooms or even immersive dinner theater—hotels can stand out, create memorable stays, and deliver new revenue streams.
