Gary Murphy, Professor of Politics at Dublin City University, outlines where the presidential election race currently stands

Donald Trump's reined back on his ability to end the conflict in Ukraine - following historic talks at the White House with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders. The U.S. president's ruled out putting the country's troops on the ground - while warning that Russia's Vladimir Putin 'might not want' to secure a peace deal. The White House insists support from the air is both 'an option and possibility' as part of security guarantees. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed there are no plans to send American troops to enforce any future peace deal. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has played down talk of an imminent summit between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It comes after Donald Trump renewed his call for the two leaders to meet and discuss ways to achieve peace in Ukraine. Russian officials have told the BBC they have not rejected the idea of direct talks, but say there shouldn't be "a meeting for the sake of a meeting". To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Donnacha O'Beacháin, Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at Dublin City University.

Donnacha Ó Beacháin, professor of Politics at Dublin City University and author of Unfinished Empire: Russian Imperialism in Ukraine and the Near Abroad

A meeting between the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the US President Donald Trump could take place in the coming days. Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Professor of Politics at the School of Law and Government at Dublin City University, chimed in on whether Russia is ready to end the war in Ukraine or is simply stalling for time.

Businessman Dermot Desmond has said that he believes AI cars, or robotaxis, will completely replace private and public transport in the next 15 to 20 years. Is that realistic?Joining Kieran to discuss this is Emmet Ryan, Technology Journalist and Alan Smeaton, Emeritus Professor of Computing at Dublin City University.

A new micro-credential course to encourage sustainability in the medtech, pharma and public sector in Ireland has been launched at University of Galway. The Green Labs initiative has been spearheaded since 2019 by Dr Una FitzGerald, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the School of Engineering and a Principal Investigator within CÚRAM, the Research Ireland Centre for Medical Devices. Green Labs develop medtech sustainability course The new 10-week microcredential programme is aimed at Ireland's extensive laboratory industry, including medtech and pharma, healthcare and science and the research sector and builds on the success and impact of the Green Labs initiative, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory practices. Dr Una FitzGerald said: "Once I took on board the considerable contribution that sustainable lab practices can make to global efforts to reduce GHGs and different kinds of waste, I felt compelled to act, because I supervise and teach many different cohorts of students. I feel I have a duty to do all possible to mitigate the climate and biodiversity crisis and feel fortunate that I am in a position to help. "As Ireland's medtech and pharma sectors continue to grow, so too does the responsibility to operate in an environmentally sustainable fashion. Laboratory testing is a crucial part of operations in these organisations, as well as for hospital and environmental testing - just think of how many lab tests are require to diagnose disease or to prove that the water you are drinking is safe. Medical device manufacturers also need lab tests to prove that implantable devices are sterile, and pharma companies use labs characterise the properties of drugs." The green labs journey commenced in 2019 with CÚRAM becoming the first laboratory in Europe certified as 'Green' by American non-profit, My Green Lab. Meeting this standard required raising awareness of the impact of lab work on the environment and prompted efforts to reduce plastic waste, energy and water usage and adopt green principles of synthetic and analytic chemistry. One fact learned was that a single ultra-low temperature freezer, used to store lab samples, uses as much energy as the average household. In 2020, Dr FitzGerald developed a course module for postgraduates on green lab principles and practice, which more than 170 students have taken to date, including online at universities in England, Scotland, Germany and Denmark. On Earth Day in 2022, Irish Green Labs (IGL) was launched by Dr Fitzgerald, in collaboration with Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland and Dublin City University to promote sustainable methods within public and private laboratories on the whole island of Ireland. The new online microcredential programme Green Labs Principles and Practice, will go further to address the lack of awareness of the impact that lab practices and behaviours have on the environment. Employees in corporate and public sector are being targeted through this course and the first 20 places are funded through Springboard. The first students enrol in September. Microcredential courses are short and accredited to meet the demands of learners, enterprise and organisations, created by Irish Universities Association (IUA) partner universities in consultation with industry and enterprise, under the MicroCreds project. Green Labs Principles and Practice will allow employees to examine how the organisation of, and practices in, scientific laboratories can be reformed to reduce their environmental footprint and be established on a more sustainable basis. The Irish Green Labs network is run on a voluntary basis, supporting more than 37 organisations within the public and private sectors, including all the higher education institutes, the Environmental Protection Agency, 10 hospitals and seven companies. Dr Fitzgerald's work in this area ultimately led to inclusion of sustainable lab practices in Taighde Eireann/Research Ireland's Climate...

No Economic Block on Irish UnityIn recent years there have been encouraging signs of growing support for Irish unity in successive electoral results, demographic changes, contributions from civic society, in opinion polling and in public commentary. Unsurprisingly, any debate on unity quickly focuses on practical issues like the economic viability of a united Ireland as well as on the future of a health and care system, governance structures, education, the environment and other matters.Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland recently held a successful conference examining the issue of health in a new Ireland and the party produced a widely welcomed health and care document looking to a future all-island model. It is available at  https://sinnfein.ie/the-case-for-an-irish-national-health-and-care-service/And now we have the report by Professor John Doyle of Dublin City University – ‘The Projected Public Finances of the Early Years of a United Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Subvention.' The report is the product of joint research by Dublin City University and Ulster University's Economic Policy Centre. It succeeds in cutting through much of the jargon associated with economics to present a cogent explanation of the economic benefits of a united Ireland.The Future of the GPOMicheál Martin's ten-year plan for the GPO site in Dublin is shameful. His effort to sell the plan as a flagship project for Dublin City Centre, that will protect the historic and cultural significance of the GPO, was described by the Irish Times as “vague and ill-defined.” Mary Lou McDonald and others have been much more vocal and direct in their condemnation of the government's plans. Martin's proposal, for example, that the upper floors of the GPO will be turned into office space, makes no sense when much of the available office space in central Dublin is currently unused and vacant.The reality is that the GPO holds a special place in the nation's soul. It may have been a Post Office for all of its two hundred years but it is more than just another of those Dublin buildings that reflect the capitals colonial past. It is acknowledged by generations of Irish people as the birthplace of the Republic, as envisaged in the Proclamation. For over one hundred years it has symbolised the hopes, aspirations and vision of that historic document and of the courage of the men and women who risked everything in April 1916.World Premier in Galway of ‘A Ballymurphy Man'This weekend I will be in Galway for the 37th annual international Galway Film Fleadh/Festival. The Fleadh runs for a week every July.  This year it's between 8 July and 13 July.

Tomás Hardiman is a film producer and a survivor of childhood abuse. His recent documentary “The Days of Trees” tells the story of his own experience of childhood sexual abuse, and his long road to recovery. In this conversation, Tomás reflects on the years he spent in the dark, his gradual process of healing, and how he was able to convert his deepest childhood wound into a creative project - a documentary that is now impacting people all over the world. Gabor Maté had this to say about it: 'It's all about healing and transformation, a person finding themselves… I really urge you to see it. A beautiful film.' Here are some of the things we explore in this discussion: — How memory, shame, and repression often intertwine in trauma — Why Tomás almost walked away from the film — The role of creative work in transforming suffering — How Tomás has been able to forgive the seemingly unforgivable.

I'm delighted to welcome back coach and coach developer, Dr Jamie Taylor in this episode. Jamie's interests lie in performance enhancement in sport, specifically in coaching, coach development, high performance and talent development. Jamie is Assistant Professor in Elite Performance at Dublin City University and a senior coach developer at Grey Matters, a company specialising in performance enhancement and coaching development for individuals, sporting/cultural organisations and systems. In this episode, Jamie and I discuss his new book, co-edited with Prof Dave Collins, entitled ‘Sport Skill Acquisition: Integrating Theory and Practice'. The book carefully and critically considers the expanding knowledge of skill acquisition and motor control, with a focus on application, examining three major theoretical perspectives that dominate the field: cognitive, ecological dynamics, and predictive processing. Jamie and Prof Dave Collins use their combined wisdom as coaches, coach developers, and expert sport psychology practitioners to offer practical advice on blending theoretical approaches, using examples from a variety of sports and activities. For those looking to improve their work with performers, Sport Skill Acquisition provides a road map for choosing the best approach for each unique situation to develop skills for optimal sport performance.

Additionally, she reflected on memorable sporting moments, including Kelly Holmes' gold medal win and the women's Euros final in 2022.7:40 -Introduction to Amy Shelley's Research on Player Development in RugbyAmy Shelley is a third-year PhD student at Dublin City University, focusing on male player development in rugby through a collaboration with Premiership Rugby. Her research seeks to identify factors that influence player progression, emphasizing the importance of policies and the structure of the talent system. Shelley brings a fresh perspective to the field, having a diverse background in physiology without prior specialization in rugby.11:45 -Analysis of Player Progression in Rugby AcademiesAmy Shelley presented her findings on the progression of players from rugby academies to the premiership, particularly examining those identified as having high potential. She noted the diversity among the 14 academies, highlighting differences in resources, nomination strategies, and cultural values. Michael Wright contributed by discussing the varying definitions of "outstanding" players across different environments.20:51 -Analysis of Rugby Player Development and Academy SelectionAmy Shelley presented key insights from her research on rugby academies, noting that players identified as high potential at age 16 had increased chances of progressing to the premiership. Interestingly, players who were not initially recognized as academy players but later joined the Senior Academy had even higher conversion rates to premiership appearances. This suggests that perceptions and expectations from coaches can significantly influence player development.28:33 -The Impact of Early Labeling on Young AthletesAmy Shelley and Michael Wright examine the challenges faced by young athletes who are labeled as high potential by sports academies. They consider the potential pressures and expectations that come with this designation, including the impact on individual development and the risk of burnout. Additionally, they discuss how this labeling may affect the way coaches in other settings perceive and interact with these players.32:22 -Insights on Academy Differences in Rugby DevelopmentAmy Shelley presented findings from her second paper, which focused on the differences among rugby academies and their influence on player development. She conducted interviews across 14 academies to understand how various contexts, including school environments and coaching practices, impact player conversion rates. The research identified four key themes related to the structure of the talent system and resource allocation.43:33 -Insights on Player Development in RugbyAmy Shelley addressed the limited time frame for developing players from selection to senior contracts, noting that environments with more opportunities tend to accelerate player development. Michael Wright raised concerns about the variability in coaching approaches and how they affect player readiness for first-team environments. Shelley pointed out that the integration between first teams and academies is crucial, but changes in coaching staff can disrupt established systems. Hosted on Acast.

Robin's research delved into sibling dynamics, revealing that these relationships can foster emotional support and skill development, but may also introduce challenges like rivalry. He shared insights from his studies, including how different sibling relationships can influence athletes' experiences and development.23:06Exploring Sibling Dynamics in Sports PracticeMichael Wright raises questions about the role of siblings in sports practice, prompting Robin Taylor to share insights from research on the dynamics of play versus formal practice. Taylor emphasizes that athletes often engage in informal skill development with siblings, which can foster cooperation and communication. The discussion highlights the psychosocial aspects of these interactions and their implications for coaching strategies..33:33Exploring Parental Involvement in Youth Sports DevelopmentRobin Taylor highlights the potential for parents to positively impact their children's sports development by engaging in informal activities that reinforce skills learned in practice.

Both speakers agree on the significance of leveraging existing relationships to enhance learning and development..42:31Collaborative Development in Sports InitiativesRobin Taylor highlighted the role of parents in sports development, suggesting that structured communication can enhance their involvement.

Robin Taylor shared insights on how coaches can monitor athletes' progress and encourage them to explore various aspects of their development.
