The Geran-2 is a deadly weapon; a drone bomb that can be launched from thousands of kilometres away and yet hit its target with precision accuracy.Low cost and easy to make, this winter it has become a key weapon in Russia's armoury as it pummels Ukraine, causing hundreds of deaths and cutting off energy supply.And a key component in the Geran-2 design is a chip manufactured years ago by Taoglas, which is headquartered in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.So how did it make its way into Russia's armament supply chain – especially given EU rules which ban the export to Russia of “high priority” dual-use technology that can have both civilian and military applications.An investigation by The Irish Times in partnership with the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project and others has revealed that technology from EU companies is making its way into Russia in vast quantities, where it is used in weapons such as the Geran-2.This includes various components manufactured by Taoglas and another Irish-based company, TE Connectivity.Irish Times crime and security correspondent Conor Gallagher was part of that investigative consortium and he explains how these drones work and why stopping their manufacture has proven difficult.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

New research by Switcher.ie has revealed the best Irish towns for work-life balance. The study is based on a range of factors, including access to local amenities such as primary schools, major supermarkets, and leisure centres; essentials like broadband and mobile connectivity; house prices and crime rates; and proximity to green spaces and transport routes. Top 10 towns for work-life balance Arklow claimed the top spot as the best town in Ireland for striking the perfect work-life balance. With surprisingly affordable house prices outside the city, it offers a winning mix of excellent local amenities and good connectivity for hybrid working, plus plenty of green spaces and a scenic coastline to boost well-being. Here's a snapshot of the top 10. For the full ranking and more top 5 winners, see Ireland's best towns for work-life balance 2026. Rank Town Median House Price Work-Life Balance Score 1 Arklow €290,000 6.44 2 Ballina €196,250 6.42 3 Enniscorthy €290,000 6.40 4 Wicklow €420,000 6.13 5 Cork City €347,363 5.97 6 Gorey €350,000 5.93 7 Tramore €329,999 5.90 8 Dublin City €505,997 5.90 9 Longford €200,000 5.71 10 Sligo €270,000 5.65 Most affordable Ballina was the most affordable town to buy a house in our study. House prices were based on the median house price in October 2025 (Residential Property Price Index). Top 5 affordable towns to live & work: Ballina, Longford, Letterkenny, Cavan and Mallow For families Ballina has taken the top spot as the best town for balancing work and family. To calculate the best town to work with a family, we summed index scores for house prices, crime rate, number of GP surgeries and primary schools. Top 5 towns for families to live & work: Ballina, Castlebar, Enniscorthy, Killarney and Longford For hybrid working Dublin was the best place for hybrid working; the city of Cork and areas of Kildare and north Dublin (Fingal*) also performed well. To calculate the best towns for hybrid working, we summed index scores for average broadband and mobile speeds and distance to major roads and bus stops. This data was only available at the county and city levels. Top towns for broadband and mobile connectivity: Dublin, Cork, North Dublin and Kildare. For transport links: Cork, Galway, Dublin and Sligo. For health, fitness & well-being Galway came in tops for access to leisure facilities and green spaces, essential for achieving a good quality of life. To rank our towns, we summed the index scores for distance to leisure centres and outdoor sports facilities, the number of public parks, and access to national parks and coastlines. Top 5 towns for health & well-being: Galway, Dublin, Wicklow, Cork and Arklow For shopping & eating Killarney was the best place for your weekly shop, grab a bite to eat, or catch up over coffee. To find our top towns, we summed the index scores for the number of major supermarkets and cafes in the area. Top 5 towns to shop, eat and refresh: Killarney, Ballina, Cavan, Gorey, Longford Commercial Director of Switcher.ie, Eoin Clarke says: "The Work-Life Balance Act 2023 ushered in a new era of working arrangements for many employees. It meant that workers with families or caregiving responsibilities could seek flexible work options and a better quality of life. Property prices are often a crucial factor for homebuyers, but broadband and mobile connectivity, easy access to local amenities, and proximity to green spaces can have a huge impact when juggling work with family or other commitments. Switcher's research highlights several towns across Ireland that offer young professionals and working families a mix of affordability, accessibility, a superb quality of life, and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity for remote working. Our top performers spanned the country, with Ballina and Sligo on the scenic west coast, Cork in the south, Longford in the heart of Ireland and a cluster of coastal towns on the east coast. If you're starting your hunt for a new home, it could...

This week on The Knock On, KCLR Sport's weekly rugby podcast, Stephen Byrne is joined by Tom Crotty of Carlow Rugby Club, James Blanchfield from Kilkenny RFC, and Paddy Browne of Tullow RFC to break down all the latest action from across the local rugby scene.Carlow delivered a dominant performance in the Towns Cup, overpowering New Ross 66–0 to book their place in the next round, where they will face Wicklow. The fixture also carried a poignant moment, with a tribute paid to the late Martin Dunphy. Martin was a former Carlow player and a central figure in the club's golden era, playing a pivotal role in the historic Towns Cup teams that achieved an unprecedented three-in-a-row in 1992, 1993 and 1994.The scheduled ladies' game involving Carlow was unfortunately called off due to adverse weather conditions.Kilkenny also progressed in the Towns Cup following a solid 27–7 victory over Enniscorthy. They now set up a next-round clash with Tullow. It was a successful outing for Kilkenny across the board, with their women's side continuing their impressive form by defeating Navan 24–10. That result leaves the Kilkenny women with an outstanding record of nine wins from ten games this season.Tullow, meanwhile, had a bye in the Towns Cup but came into the next round with confidence after a strong league win over Seapoint the previous week, despite finishing that match with just 13 players. Tullow returns to league action this weekend with a challenging fixture away to Wicklow.We also bring you all the latest youth rugby news and updates from around the region.All that and more on The Knock On.

Again email follow@bestcelticmusic Last month, I led my Celtic Invasion of County Wexford. We visited the National 1798 Irish Rebellion Museum. I learned a lot. In the summer of 1798, in the town of Enniscorthy, a spark was lit that echoed across the centuries. Inspired by the ideals of liberty and self - determination that fueled the American and French Revolutions, ordinary Irish men and women rose up against British rule—hoping to shape a freer, more equal Ireland. The United Irishmen, a movement of Protestants and Catholics alike, dreamed of unity. But their rebellion was met with brutal force. The most haunting chapter came to a head on Vinegar Hill, where rebels made their last stand. Though the 1798 Rebellion was crushed, the spirit behind it lived on. It became a quiet current beneath Irish history, resurfacing again in 1916 during the Easter Rising—and carrying through to modern Ireland. Today's episode features songs and tunes inspired by the 1798 rebellion. These are songs of hope, defiance, heartbreak, and memory. This episode is not about blame. They're about telling the stories of those who dared to dream of freedom. GET AN IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST ALBUM PIN Want to wear your love of Celtic music?

Joshua Stacey in for Nick today and joined by the RacingTV's Dan Overall. First off, they reflect on Gordon Elliott's decison to run Brighterdaysahead against Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle. Will the Champion Hurdle and Mares' Hurdle feel knock-on effects? James Owen reveals Burdett Road's festival aim and provides an update on Triumph Hurdle favourite, East India Dock. Fresh off the back of Newbury on Saturday, Olly Murphy caught up with Josh to discuss THAT ride from Sean Bowen aboard Booster Bob in the Greatwood Gold Cup on Saturday before outlining Cheltenham Festival and Aintree plans for his team. Finally, Paul Nolan looks set to bring over a good-sized squad to Gloucestershire next week, with Feet Of A Dancer and An Peann Dearg his leading lights. Just what would a festival winner mean to the Enniscorthy-based trainer?
