Eldhúsdagsumræður eru á Alþingi í kvöld og marka alla jafna þinglok - en þau eru ekki í augsýn Fjöldi mála er enní nefnd eftir fyrstu umræðu. Þórarinn Ingi Pétursson, Framsóknarflokki og Lilja Rafney Magnúsdóttir Flokki fólksins eru þó bæði á því að samkomulag náist um þingstörfin það geri það alltaf. Þeim sýnist þó sitt hvoru um eitt stærsta mál þingsins, veiðigjaldið. Víðtækar refsiaðgerðir gegn Rússum, sem vestræn ríki og Evrópusambandið hafa staðið fyrir undanfarin ár, virðast ekki hafa haft þau áhrif sem til var ætlast; það er að setja þrýsting á stjórnvöld í Kreml til að hætta hernaðinum í Úkraínu eða hnika þeim nær samningaborðinu. Nýjasti pakki refsiaðgerða Evrópusambandsins, meðal annars gegn skuggaflotanum svokallaða, var kynntur í gær. Það er hins vegar ekki ljóst hvort stjórnvöld í Bandaríkjunum eða öll ESB-ríkin ætla að spila með eins og þau hafa gert til þessa.

DP Energy has partnered with ESB to develop Lyra Wind Farm in Co. Mayo, a renewable energy project with the potential to generate up to 100MW of clean power. Located approximately 7km southeast of Westport, 2.2km southeast of Aghagower Village and 9.5km west of Ballintubber Village, the proposed area of development is situated in the townlands of Cordarragh South, Corveagh Upper and Teevinish West. The majority of the proposed turbine area is located at an elevation of between 100m and 200m above sea level and will generate enough energy to power up to 70,914 homes on an annual basis. The design of the proposed project is at an early stage and is following an iterative approach that will be guided by any potential environmental impacts, as advised by third-party technical experts. The wind farm, once operational, will only occupy a small portion of the overall site area - approximately 4% - allowing many of the existing land uses, such as farming and biodiversity management, to continue alongside the project. DP Energy has collaborated with ESB previously to develop Cappawhite Wind Farm, a 51MW onshore wind project in Co. Tipperary, located at the southernmost extent of the mountain range known as Hollyford Hills. DP Energy also previously sold its operating and pipeline projects to ESB in 2008. Simon De Pietro, Director and CEO at DP Energy Group, says: "We are delighted to be working alongside ESB to develop Lyra Wind Farm. This project has the potential to deliver substantial benefits to the local community while fostering local employment and enterprise. Having previously achieved excellent results working with ESB, we look forward to building on this strong partnership and using it as a foundation for future projects across Ireland and the UK." Jim Dollard, Executive Director, Generation and Trading at ESB, says: "At ESB, we are progressing a pipeline of projects and acquisitions, including initiatives with our trusted partners, to deliver our Net Zero by 2040 strategy. Building on our previous successes, we are delighted to partner once again with DP Energy on the proposed Lyra wind farm in Co Mayo. By leveraging our shared values and combined expertise, we believe the Lyra project will deliver significant benefits for the community, the environment and Ireland's net-zero energy commitments. We look forward to working with all stakeholders to ensure the project is a success." Visit the Lyra Wind Farm website for more information on the project.

I 1971 dúradh go mbeadh stailc ann de 400 oibreoirí ESB agus dá mbeidís chun an stailc a dhéanamh go mbeadh 140 míle custaiméirí chun a leictreachas a chailleadh. I 1987 bhí ráflaí ann go mbeadh laghdú sa phraghas I bpeitreal agus bhí an Rialtas na hEorpa ag labhairt faoi. I 1997 fuair Bertie Ahern fáiltiú iontach nuair a chuaigh sé chuig Ros Cré. Chuaigh sé ann de bharr go raibh an scairdeán I Rosemary Square ag oscail arís tar éis é a athchóiriú. I 2000 bhí Craobh na Mumhan chun tosú ag an am le Tiobraid Árann agus Port Láirge chun imir I gcoinne a chéile sa chéad bhabhta le John Leahy sa tosaí agus bhí sé sin an rud a bhí gach duine ag labhairt faoi.

Halla Hrund Logadóttir, þingmaður Framsóknarflokksins, kallaði í vikunni eftir hertari aðgerðum gegn Nikótínpúðum. Hlutfall ungmenna sem nota slíka níkótínpúða er hvergi hærra á Norðurlöndum en á Íslandi - Á stóru blaði sem hangir á veggnum á skrifstofunni hjá stækkunarstjóra Evrópusambandsins í í Brussel, eru nöfn níu ríkja sem sótt hafa um aðild að ESB og yfirlit yfir hvernig viðræðurnar ganga - Ísland er á listanum - með rauðu merki - enda er aðildarumsóknin í frosti eins og fram hefur komið. Nýleg skýrsla Europol varpar ljósi á hvernig skipulögð brotastarfsemi hefur þróast á undanförnum árum, meðal annars með nýrri tækni eins og gervigreind - þótt afbrot eins og fíkniefnasmygl, vopnasala og mansal séu áfram fyrirferðarmikil. Þetta er alþjóðleg starfsemi í eðli sínu og Ísland er þar ekki undanskilið; íslenskir og erlendir brotamenn starfa saman; flytja hingað fíkniefni og þvætta ágóðann af ólögmætri starfsemi, meðal annars með skipulögðum útflutningi á reiðufé og kaupum á rafmynt.

ESB is supporting Ireland's offshore wind ambitions by rolling out its third consecutive bespoke Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) training programme. MMOs are specialist environmental consultants responsible for monitoring marine megafauna such as whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and basking sharks, during industry operations. They assist developers comply with environmental regulations and guidelines, while the data collected by MMOs aids in evaluating the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The aim of the programme is to support the development of marine ecology education and skills, helping successful applicants at the early stages of their careers in the marine environmental profession. It is open to graduates, final-year undergraduates and postgraduate students who are studying or working in marine science or related disciplines. Since its inception in 2023, 11 participants have successfully completed the programme. Speaking about the success of the programme to date, Niru Dorrian, Senior Offshore Ecology Coordinator at ESB, said: "Offshore wind will play a crucial role in helping Ireland achieve its climate targets, and we need to invest in people now to ensure we have the right skills and expertise for all elements of our projects. As leaders in the transition to clean energy, it is important for developers like ESB to support the marine industry, and in particular, future MMOs. Collaboration is key to a net-zero energy future, and we are grateful to the academic and industry organisations supporting our programme." The programme is endorsed by The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) and the Marine Mammal Observer Association (MMOA). The training comprises a mix of both classroom and field training over the course of three months which includes an offshore survival course at the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) in Cork. Thomas Power, a 2023 programme participant, says the initiative has helped his career: "The ESB MMO training programme was the perfect first step to a career in marine mammal and environmental mitigation. It opens the door in what can sometimes be a difficult career to start out in. The initial training and certifications required for MMO work are costly, and the ESB funding allowed me to commit fully without the financial worry often attached. I would absolutely recommend this programme to anyone thinking of a career in marine mammal mitigation, and if awarded to fully utilise the amazing opportunity this programme offers."

Staðan á Gaza og aðgerðir Evrópusambandsins var umræðuefni á ráðherrafundi EES ríkjanna í Brussel í dag, þar sem Kaja Kallas utanríkismálastjóri ESB var meðal þátttakenda. Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir tók þátt í þessum fundi; hún segir það ánægjulegt að aðildarríki ESB séu að ná samstöðu um harðari aðgerðir gagnvart Ísrael. Viljayfirlýsing um nánara samstarf á sviði utanríkis og öryggismála var einnig staðfest á þessum fundi. Björn Malmquist fréttamaður ræddi við Þorgerði Katrínu í Brussel í dag. Peningastefnunefnd Seðlabankans lækkaði stýrivexti í dag um 0,25 prósentustig, úr 7,75 prósent í 7,5. Þórarinn G. Pétursson varaseðlabankastjóri segir að verðbólgan þurfi að hjaðna í sumar til að hægt verði að halda vaxtalækkunarferlinu áfram. Horfur í efnahagsmálum séu góðar en óvissa á alþjóðamörkuðum út af tollastríði gæti sett strik í reikninginn. Menningarferðaþjónusta er nú í fyrsta sinn formlega skilgreind sem hluti af ferðamálastefnu stjórnvalda enda er menning talin afar mikilvægur þáttur í ferðaþjónustu og ferðamenn sem hingað koma njóta íslenskrar menningar með ýmsum hætti um allt land.

We first became aware of the story at the heart of this episode over three years ago. Details were scarce at the time, but we knew that heat casualties had been a major issue for units at Defener Pacific... except for one company that was completely unaffected. And as it turned out, that company had been doing afternoon physical training to deliberately prepare for the heat (plus leveraging H2F experts to optimize the training). Our guest for this episode was the commander of that company at the time, and he provides a ton of insight into how good training management left his company with zero heat casualties while the battalion experienced 45. MAJ Christian Wardynski is an Instructor of Economics in the Department of Social Sciences at the United States Military Academy at West Point, which he also graduated from in 2014. After graduating Engineer BOLC, Chris served in the 54th BEB, 173rd IBCT in Vicenza, Italy as a Light Equipment PL, Sapper PL, and BN Air Officer. Most recently, he served as the Company Commander for Bravo Company, 37th Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, NC. Chris holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from West Point, a Master of Science in Engineering Management from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, and a Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago where he also served as a fellow at the Pearson Institute. Chris and his wife, Jackie, have four daughters.He also provided a bunch of clarifying notes that we'll share here:He said the DoD vs. VA alignment is a Principal-Agent Problem, but as he described it, it would probably fit the definition of a negative externality better - the DoD's decisions to "overuse"/ or under-rehabilitate soldiers impose uncompensated long-term healthcare costs on the VA (and thus the taxpayer); same for the current commander not considering the cost savings of proper rehabilitation/physical resiliency of soldiers for the next commander. Regardless, both principal-agent issue and externality issue apply. You can tell by this correction that he's a true econ instructor...For additional context on the heat acclimation they started in May 2021, they had Company STX the second week of June and he initially started reverse cycle PT to see if it'd help soldiers with performance during the STX event. They executed 9x ESB-style lanes focused on individual soldier and engineer tasks, and covered over 30 miles under load in 24 hours. As a bit of risk management for the event, he mandated that all soldiers had to eat at least the main meal of the MRE and a side, or three sides total if not eating the main meal, as well as the entire salt/electrolyte packet every four hours during the event. If they found any soldier who ate less than the required amount, it would result in a summarized article 15 (if there were no extenuating circumstances). It was on the TLs to decide if they needed to eat more frequently and if they wanted to eat on the move or not. Team leaders led their own teams movement through all the lanes and to each station. This provided a great opportunity for them to exercise some initiative and leadership. Surprisingly, zero heat casualties during this crucible event for the ~80 soldiers that completed it, despite a peak ~95 degree heat index in that timeframe. Regarding Defender Pacific, when he arrived to his company assembly area after the jump, his soldiers looked utterly unphased and appeared completely fresh. The BN TF, however, had about 45 heat casualties by that time. After the BN TF mission was complete, they had a 7 mi ruck to the training area where they'd rest overnight, and his soldiers handled the movement without any issue whatsoever. He did note that they did not have a very hard follow on mission, whereas most other companies in the BN TF had some pretty physically arduous movements/follow-on missions.

ESB is once again running guided tours at Ardnacrusha Power Station in Co Clare this summer, offering the public a rare opportunity to explore one of Ireland's most significant engineering landmarks - free of charge. School group tours will take place from 22 May to 30 June with public tours beginning July 1 through to 5 September 2025 (weekdays only). Each tour provides a fun, engaging and informative experience, tracing the story of electricity in Ireland from the station's origins in the 1920s to ESB's modern-day commitment to renewable energy and reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Brendan Shine, Plant Manager at Ardnacrusha, said: "All the staff working here at Ardnacrusha are delighted to once again open the gates of the station to school groups and the public so they can get an insight into the workings of our great station, and the contribution it has made to the country's economic and social history. Our guides will ensure this is a memorable experience for all and we encourage anyone interested to book early." Visitors on the 90-minute guided tour will learn how Ardnacrusha revolutionised life in Ireland and continues to play a vital role in ESB's sustainability strategy. Participants will also gain insight into some of the cutting-edge renewable energy technologies being adopted by the organisation. Ardnacrusha Tour Details: School Group Tours: 22 May - 30 June 2025 Public Tours: 1 July - 5 September 2025 Days: Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) Duration: Approx. 90 minutes Group Size: Up to 30 people Bookings are essential and can be made at www.esb.ie/ardnacrushatours, where visitors can also find accessibility information and check available dates. Commissioned in 1929, Ardnacrusha was the centrepiece of the Shannon hydro-electric scheme - a visionary project that symbolised Irish independence and industrial ambition. Constructed by 5,000 workers over four years, the scheme cost over IR£5 million, the equivalent of 20% of Ireland's GDP at the time. With an initial capacity of 86 megawatts, it was enough to power the entire country. Today, Ardnacrusha remains operational, contributing around 2% of Ireland's total electricity supply. Visitor Feedback: "I'm a mom of three kids - 14, 11, and 6 - and we all found the tour incredibly interesting. We were actually disappointed when it ended - we wanted it to go on longer! The guides were very knowledgeable and answered every question with ease." "A great tour. Very informative, guides are very knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour. Witty, funny, and interactive. There was a wide diverse age group on our tour and all was catered for. It starts on time, don't feel rushed throughout the tour. Highly recommend this experience."

"Bitter" Truths, Big Beers, and Bold MovesThis week, we crack open a triple dose of hop-fueled commentary, brewery gossip, and World Beer Cup bombshells. We even got a little salty—literally.In Beers of the Week we pay tribute to a fallen Georgia brewer with Jekyll Brewing's Big Creek Kölsch. Jekyll, a longtime staple with both supporters and haters, is set to shut down all locations on Mother's Day. We dove deep into their history, rise, Kickstarter roots, and the harsh economics of brewery expansion in a post-industrial park taproom era.Then came the ESB talk. What the heck is an ESB anyway? Brian broke down the style—medium malt, medium hop, and no, it's not actually that bitter. We dug into the surprising World Beer Cup win: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale taking gold in the American ESB category. Wait, what? Pale Ale is an ESB now? According to the new guidelines, apparently so. The lines blur, styles evolve, and Brian drops knowledge.Speaking of the World Beer Cup, Georgia showed up big: 6 breweries, 9 medals. New Realm, Bold Monk, Wild Heaven, and others brought home serious hardware. We raised a glass to our local heroes and called out a few surprise absences (no Creature Comforts?).Economic chatter followed, and for once, the news wasn't all doom and gloom. The U.S. beer industry contributed over $470 billion in 2024, thanks to jobs, taxes, and of course, your favorite six-packs. But challenges remain—Tilray teeters on delisting, and even success stories sometimes mask hard decisions behind closed taproom doors.And finally, Tecate went weird: a salty light lager made with Gulf of Mexico water, available only on a floating bar off the Yucatan. No, really.So whether you're crushing cream ales with bourbon chasers, debating beer style semantics, or lamenting your favorite brewery's closure, this week's episode has you covered.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 bhí dochtúirí ag iarradh saol cailín a shábháil tar éis a loisceadh í agus dhá uair dhiúltaigh lena tuismitheoirí aistriú fola a dhéanamh. I 1987 d'fhan an polaisaí pá don rialtas I rith comhréiteach den ESB agus d'fhan sé faoin ráta boilscithe timpeall 3.4%. I 1998 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an Coláiste Traenáil I Teampall Mór ag fáil níos mó ná 2 milliúin punt chun níos mó áiseanna a bheith acu agus go mbeadh níos mó daoine ábalta a bheith ann sa todhchaí. I 2012 in ainneoin na agóid de Tom Moylan ó Fhine Gael, ritheadh an rún chun carrchlós Tyone a thabhairt chuig an HSE. Sin Starship le Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1987. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1976 fuair ABBA a tríú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Fernando agus bhí sé an t-amhrán a dhíol den chuid is mó don bhanna cheoil le níos mó ná 10 milliúin chóip. Chum Benny agus Bjorn an t-amhrán. Níor tháinig ABBA amach leis an amhrán ar dtús ach tháinig Anni ón bhanna cheoil amach leis an amhrán ar dtús ar a albam I 1975. I 1993 fuair Aerosmith uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Get A Grip agus shroich siad uimhir 2 sa Bhreatain. Dhíol siad níos mó ná 20 milliúin cóip den albam timpeall an domhain agus bhuaigh siad dhá Grammy. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh David Attenborough sa Bhreatain I 1926 agus rugadh amhránaí Enrique Iglesias sa Spáinn ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: doctors were trying to save the life of a badly burned 15 year old girl and were twice refused by the girls parents to add minister blood transfusions. 1987: The governments overall pay policy remained intact through settlement of the ESB dispute at fractionally below the current 3.4 per cent inflation rate. 1998 - THE Garda Training College in Templemore is set for a £2 million infrastructural boost with the additional classroom facilities and other accommodation and will cater for further recruits to the force in the coming years.  2012 - DESPITE the protests of Fine Gael's Tom Moylan, Nenagh, Town Council passed a motion to sell Tyone car park to the Health Service Executive (HSE).  That was Starship with Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now – the biggest song on this day in 1987. Onto music news on this day In 1976 ABBA scored their third UK No.1 single with Fernando, the song went on to become ABBA's biggest selling single, with sales over 10 million. Composed by Benny and Björn the song carried the working title of ‘Tango'. ‘Fernando' was not originally released as an ABBA song but as a solo single by band member Anni – featured on her 1975 solo album 1993 Aerosmith entered the US album chart at No.1 with 'Get A Grip', a No.2 hit in the UK. The album went on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide as well as winning the band two Grammy awards. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – presenter David Attenborough was born in the UK in 1926 and singer Enrique Iglesias was born in Spain on this day in 1975 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

The ESB has flagged with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) that the volume of electricity demand from data centres is jeopardising the delivery of network capacity for key priorities of housing, transport, and climate. Lynn Boylan, Sinn Fein MEP for Dublin, joins Anton to discuss.

The European Green Deal was launched in 2019 to make Europe the world's first climate neutral and resilient economy, and to decouple economic growth from resource use. Six years later, the ambition has become even more important for Europe, and for the world, but the global context has considerably changed. In his address to the IIEA, Director General Vandenberghe explains the relevance of the Green Deal and how it will be taken forward, in Europe and internationally, amid rapidly changing and increasingly volatile global circumstances. This event is part of the IIEA's REthink Energy series, organised in partnership with ESB. Speaker bio: Kurt Vandenberghe was appointed Director General of DG CLIMA in January 2023. From December 2019 to January 2023, he was the Green Deal and Health Advisor to President Ursula von der Leyen. Previously, he was Acting Director for Research & Innovation Outreach, Director for Policy & Programming, and Director for Climate action and resource efficiency at DG Research and Innovation. He also served in the Cabinet of Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin (1999-2004), and as Head of the Cabinet of Janez Potočnik, who was Commissioner for Research and Innovation (2004-2009) and subsequently for Environment (from 2010). Mr Vandenburghe joined the European Commission in 1996 as co-ordinator of the Commission's Intermodal Transport Task Force and of the Transport Research Programme. Before entering the Commission, Mr Vandenberghe worked as a manager at Ernst & Young Association Management, where he set up, managed and represented international trade associations. He holds a degree in French and Italian literature from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL), a degree in Public and International Affairs from the University Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL), and a MA in International Relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.

Ohio educators want professional development opportunities that give them the tools to be the best educators possible for their students. But, too often, school districts prescribe PD that doesn't feel like a valuable use of anyone's time. Ohio's Educator Standards Board set out to change that by making the state's Professional Learning Standards more user-friendly and more useful. Educator Standards Board member Eugene Mach walks us through the process and the changes that are in the pipeline for educators around the state.SEE THE CURRENT STANDARDS | If you'd like to look at the previously adopted Standards for Professional Development to see how they compare to the new Professional Learning Standards as proposed, click here to read the full document. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE NEW STANDARDS | The Educator Standards Board voted to move their newly developed Professional Learning Standards forward to the State Board of Education for consideration in March. The Professional Learning Standards document is not on the agenda for the State Board of Education's April meeting. Check the State Board of Education's webpage to keep tabs on when the document moves forward and to see the latest version of the document under consideration. Please note, the Educator Standards Board voted on March 7, 2025, to move forward this version of the Professional Learning Standards without the words 'equity' or 'inclusion,' despite the objections of several ESB members, including Eugene Mach, who is featured in this episode. This episode was recorded before that vote took place, so discussions about those changes are not included in the conversation you hear here.  SUBSCRIBE | Click here to subscribe to Public Education Matters on Apple Podcasts or click here to listen on Spotify so you don't miss a thing.

Kristrún Frostadóttir forsætisráðherra ræddi í dag við forystu Evrópusambandsins um tollamál og hvernig Ísland gæti komist hjá því að lenda á milli í tollastríði Evrópu og Bandaríkjanna. Hún segir að sín skilaboð hafi komist skýrt og milliliðalaust til skila. Kristrún hefur áhyggjur af áhrifum þess á íslenskan útflutning ef ESB bregst hart við því ef vörur sem ekki eigi greiða leið inn á Bandaríkjamarkað flæði inn á þann Evrópska. Skipulögð glæpastarfsemi hefur náð að festa hér rætur og birtist með ýmsum hætti. Þingmennirnir Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir og Grímur Grímsson ræddu um hvernig bregðast megi við. Þau telja bæði að styrkja þurfi heimildir lögreglu til afbrotavarna.

I 1979 ní raibh aon solas ag nach mór 150,000 tí timpeall an tír de bharr gur mhúch an ESB an leictreachas agus de bharr sin ní raibh na bus agus na traein ag dul ar aghaidh. I 1986 dúradh nach gcaithfidh sealbhóir tí billí uisce a íoc a chosain 11.5 milliún punt. I 1986 tháinig deireadh leis an 25ú féile dhrámaíochta sa chontae I nDún Beag.

A recent survey highlights strong parental support for STEM education, with 80% of parents willing to back their child's participation in extracurricular STEM activities. In addition, over half (54%) of the surveyed parents actively encourage their children to pursue an interest in STEM subjects. These figures are part of a survey conducted by Red C Research and released by ESB to mark the start of ESB Science Blast 2025. The first showcase events are taking place in RDS Dublin from Monday 3rd to Thursday 6th March 2025. ESB Science Blast, an RDS led initiative, is a free educational programme which actively encourages child-led investigation and scientific discovery. This non-competitive initiative aims to address inequities in STEM education by ensuring equal access for all students, with a 50/50 gender participation and a core focus on DEIS schools and Gaelscoileanna participation. Parents attitudes to STEM In the survey, almost half (48%) of parents with primary school-aged children stated they are satisfied with the STEM learning opportunities in the classroom. A regional disparity does exist as 40% of parents based in Dublin feel their child's school offers adequate STEM support compared to 33% of parents outside of Dublin. Overall, STEM ranks third in importance among school subjects, underscoring the need for greater awareness and advocacy in this area. STEM Career Opportunities and Understanding of STEM The survey also sheds light on perceptions of STEM career opportunities. Three-quarters (74%) of adults believe that a career in STEM would offer good job prospects. Yet only 35% are familiar with the career opportunities associated with STEM. There is a gender divide in perceptions of equal career opportunities in STEM, with 53% of men and 44% of women agreeing that such opportunities exist regardless of gender. The survey also reveals a gap in understanding regarding the term 'STEM', with 58% of participants admitting they do not have a clear grasp of the term. Commitment to STEM Reaffirming their commitment to fostering STEM education, ESB and the RDS today announce a five-year extension to their partnership of ESB Science Blast. Since 2019, ESB Science Blast has engaged over 70,000 pupils from all 32 counties, inspiring primary school pupils to explore the world around them and develop skills for the future, such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and curiosity. Commenting on the survey results and sponsorship renewal, Marguerite Sayers, Deputy Chief Executive, ESB said: "ESB Science Blast has been a transformative experience for thousands of students across Ireland. Supporting ESB Science Blast is one way we help nurture a diverse talent pool and encourage children to see the endless possibilities a career in STEM can offer. We are proud to extend our partnership with the RDS and continue our mission to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders, "The enthusiasm and creativity displayed by the students is truly inspiring. Every year, the vast array of projects highlights the curiosity of primary school children as they investigate the science behind simple but intriguing questions. We look forward to welcoming students and their teachers to ESB Science Blast 2025". The positive and significant impact of ESB Science Blast is evident in the positive feedback from both pupils and teachers in an external evaluation study conducted by RDS. An impressive 71% of pupils reported improved teamwork skills, while 86% of teachers noted enhanced presentation skills in the classroom. The programme has also sparked a greater interest in STEM careers, with 65% of pupils expressing a desire to pursue a future in the field. Commenting on the partnership, Niamh De Loughry, Deputy Chief Executive Foundation said: "ESB Science Blast exemplifies our unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and addressing critical societal needs. As a cornerstone of our Science and Technology programme, this initiati...

Íslenskir og norskir embættismenn, sendiherrar og ráðherrar leggjast þessa dagana á eitt og minna Evrópusambandið á sérstöðu ríkjanna tveggja og að þau séu órjúfanlegur hluti af Evrópska efnahagssvæðinu. Óttinn er að Ísland og Noregur lendi á einhvern hátt í skotlínunni, þegar og ef til þess kemur að viðskiptastríð brjótist út fyrir alvöru milli Evrópusambandsins og Bandaríkjanna. Ljóst þykir að framkvæmdastjórn ESB lítur á Ísland og Noreg sem eina heild í þessu samhengi. Fjöldi sveitarfélaga stefnir að viðræðum um sameiningu á næstu árum en markmið stjórnvalda um að árið 2026 verði engin sveitarfélög með færri en þúsund íbúa, er enn langt undan. Enn eru fjögur sveitarfélög þar sem skráðir íbúar eru færri en hundrað. Á morgun hefst í Héraðsdómi Reykjaness aðalmeðferð í einu umfangsmesta skattrannsóknarmáli Íslandssögunnar þar sem fiskútflytjandi er sakaður um hundruð milljóna króna skatta undanskot. Kona sem vann fyrir hann og maður sem átti við hann viðskipti hafa þegar hlotið dóm en sjálfur telur hann rannsókn skattayfirvalda vera svo gallaða að það brjóti í bága við mannréttindasáttmála Evrópu.

In today's podcast, we say goodbye to Pocha, who had only a short time at the sanctuary. Her death, though sudden, was not entirely surprising, as there had been signs for a long time that something wasn't quite right. Kat and Scott take us back to October 2022 to share Pocha's final days and her passing. We also discuss how Guillermina and the other elephants reacted to her death, as well as the broader topic of elephants' capacity to mourn. Despite the sadness, there is an overwhelming sense of gratitude among Scott, Kat, and the entire team at ESB that Pocha lived long enough to witness her daughter discovering her birthright of freedom, forming new friendships, and becoming part of a herd. Pocha left this world in peace, knowing Guillermina was in the best care possible. Visit Pocha's memorial page.

Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.org Who we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil, currently home to six female Asian elephants.

Clare County Council has confirmed its community response hubs will remain open for the duration of the humanitarian fallout of Storm Éowyn as people across Clare enter their ninth day without electricity. Five community response hubs were established in the worst affected areas of the county amid extended fallout and unprecedented damage following Storm Éowyn. The ESB confirmed that some customers in Clare would remain without power until the middle of next week, while 1,300 properties were in the dark coming into the weekend. Director of Rural Development, Corporate and Cultural Services at Clare County Council, Ann Reynolds, says the hub in Cross, mainly used as a remote working site has been stood down, however, all locations with a need for the service remain open.

ESB Clare Area Technical Manager says they are aiming to restore nearly half of those who are still without power in Clare tonight. Since storm Eowyn, 1000 homes and businesses are still without power across the county and follow on power faults have also cropped up leaving more without electricity. These new faults have been reported in regions such as Drumquin, Ennistymon and Miltownmalbay and will potentially effect the surrounding areas. ESB are continuing to work through these power faults and expects the county to have fully restored power by the middle of next week. Michael Sammin ESB Clare Area Technical Manager, advises everyone to stay vigilant for any exposed and damaged power lines

As you've been hearing in our news bulletins, the ESB estimates the number of premises in Clare which remain without power this morning to be 3,900 as crews continue their efforts to restore electricity to all those affected by Storm Éowyn. Uisce Éireann meanwhile says 2,500 homes and businesses here are still experiencing water supply disruptions as the utility works to reconnect customers. Hundreds in the north Clare village of Tubber are still heavily impacted by last week's extreme weather event and it's understood that it'll be another few days before power and water return for some. Clare FM's Seán Lyons met with some locals to hear their thoughts on the situation and started by catching up with Niamh Baker of the Burren Inn... Photo (C): Clare FM

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 26ú lá de mí Feabhra, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1981 dhiúltaigh tiománaithe ESB comhréiteach, agus mar sin de bhí imní ar dhaoine go mbeadh stailc ann. Shiúil a lán dóibh amach agus de bharr sin bhí gach rud curtha siar. I 1994 dhúisigh Amanda Kelly déanach agus de bharr sin bhí sí fós beo. Chaill sí amach ar an mbád farantóireachta, ach chuaigh a chara Tracey Moriarty ar an mbád agus chuaigh an bád faoi uisce agus fuair Tracey bás. I 1980, d'oscail Con Power scoil marcaíocht i Cuar an Chláir. An aidhm a bhí ag an scoil marcaíocht ná chun marcaíocht a mhúineadh. I 1981 bhí seirbhísí éigeandála ag Aerfort na Sionainne nuair a bhí foláireamh ann nuair a rinne eitleán tuirlingt éigeandála de bharr trioblóid. Bhí an t-eitleán ar an tslí chuig an Manchain. Sin Joe Dolce le Shaddup Your Face – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1981. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1997 fuair scríbhneoir cheoil Ben Raleigh bás ina chistin nuair a chur sé a róba folctha trí thine nuair a bhí sé ag cócaireacht. Scríobh sé an t-amhrán 'Scooby Doo Where Are You.' I 2011 tháinig sé amach go raibh an t-amhrán We Will Rock You ó Queen an t-amhrán is mó a bhí ar siúil ag imeachtaí spórt. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Teresa Palmer san Astráil ar an lá seo I 1986 agus rugadh amhránaí Johnny Cash I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1932 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

The ESB is aiming to restore power in large pockets of East, West and North Clare today as the county continues to grapple with the fallout of Storm Éyowen. Over 44,000 homes and businesses were without electricity here at the peak of the storm, but this was reduced to just 9,700 last night. Today the utility is aiming to return power to parts of Ballyvaughan, Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, Moy, Lahinch, Drumindoora, Feakle, Mountshannon and Tulla. Clare Area Technical Manager Michael Sammin has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that some households will be without electricity until early next week and that due to repairs, some recurring outages are possible.

A Clare farming representative insists common sense must prevail when it comes to landowners being allowed to cut trees near power lines. Thousands of homes and businesses remain without electricity this morning as ESB crews continue their efforts to restore power to those still experiencing outages following Storm Éowyn. A major cause of electricity outages in rural Clare has been trees falling on overhead power lines. O'Callaghan's Mills farmer and Secretary of the Clare branch of the Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers Association Martin McMahon says too many trees are located near power lines and farmers should be allowed to cut them down.

Cian McCormack joins one of ESB's crews in Co.Wicklow as they continue to work to restore electricity to customers and Brian Tapley, ESB Networks Regional Manager, discusses their ongoing operation.

Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir utanríkisráðherra segir jákvætt að Evrópusambandið líti þannig á að aðildarumsókn Íslands frá 2009 sé enn virk. Talsmaður framkvæmdastjórnar ESB staðfesti þetta í dag - en Þorgerður átti síðdegis fund með Maros Sefcovic, einum af framkvæmdastjórum ESB, sem fer með viðskiptamál og samskiptin við EES ríkin, Ísland, Noreg og Lichtenstein. Þorgerður hitti einnig Kaju Kallas, utanríkismálastjóra Evrópusambandsins. Björn Malmquist fréttamaður hitti Þorgerði síðdegis. Frá því í maí í fyrra hefur Ísraelsher gert minnst níutíu og sjö árásir á svæði á Gaza, sem herinn hafði áður skilgreint sem svokölluð mannúðarsvæði og hvatt palestínskan almenning til að leita þar skjóls til að tryggja öryggi sitt og sinna. Þetta er niðurstaða rannsóknarteymis breska ríkisútvarpsins BBC, BBC Verify, sem hefur unnið að því undanfarna mánuði að sannreyna fregnir af slíkum árásum. Ævar Örn Jósepsson rýnir í skýrslu teymisins. Í þremur tilfellum sem fjallað hefur verið um síðustu daga komust utankjörfundaratkvæði í alþingiskosningunum ekki til skila. Í Kópavogi urðu 25 utankjörfundaratkvæði innlyksa á bæjarskrifstofum og var ekki komið til talningar, í Norðausturkjördæmi fékk yfirkjörstjórn kassa með atkvæðum 11 dögum eftir að kosið var og ekki er vitað hve mörg þau voru, og tvö utankjörfundaratkvæði skiluðu sér ekki frá Seltjarnarnesi á talningarstað. Í kosningum er alltaf eitthvað um að utankjörfundaratkvæði berist ekki í tæka tíð - En er hægt að horfa til einhverra sérstakra kringumstæðna og telja atkvæði sem koma of seint? Anna Kristín Jónsdóttir ræddi þetta við Bergþóru Sigmundsdóttur lögfræðing og stjórnmálafræðing, sem sá lengi um utankjörfundaratkvæðagreiðslu hjá sýslumanni.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an t-aonú lá déag de mhí Eanáir. is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh.Dhiúltaigh an tAire Oideachais ó Fheidhmeannas Thuaisceart Éireann Paul Givan iarratas ón scoil is mó sna Sé Chontae le bheith ina scoil imeasctha. Thacaigh tromlach soiléir thuismitheoirí na ndaltaí leis an athrú in Acadamh Bheannchair, a bhfuil timpeall 1,850 dalta ann. Ach tá cinneadh déanta anois ag Paul Givan nár cheart dul ar aghaidh leis na pleananna. Diúltíodh togra ó scoil eile i mBeannchar fosta, Bunscoil an Rátha Mhóir, chun athrú a dhéanamh ina scoil imeasctha. De réir doiciméad a d'fhoilsigh an Roinn Oideachais, mhol oifigigh go n-athrófaí an dá scoil le bheith imeasctha ach chinn an tAire gan an moladh sin a cheadú. Agus é ag diúltú do na tairiscintí, dúirt Givan nach raibh go leor fianaise ann go mbeadh dóthain daltaí Caitliceacha ag gach scoil chun oideachas imeasctha a chur ar fáil. Luaigh sé reachtaíocht Stormont ina ndeirtear gur cheart go mbeadh líon réasúnta leanaí Caitliceacha agus Protastúnacha araon i scoileanna imeasctha. "Fiú ar an anailís is dóchasaí, tá an chuma ar an scéal go mbeadh sé iontach deacair líon réasúnta a bhaint amach," a scríobh Givan.Tá an comhlacht teicneolaíochta Meta ag fáil réidh lena chuid seiceálaithe fíricí neamhspleácha ar Facebook agus Instagram, agus ag cur “nótaí pobail” i stíl cosúil leis an ardán X ina n-áit ina bhfágtar trácht ar chruinneas postálacha de chuid úsáideoirí. I bhfíseán Meta, dúirt an príomhfheidhmeannach Mark Zuckerberg go raibh modhnóirí tríú páirtí “róchlaonta ó thaobh na polaitíochta de” agus go raibh sé “in am dul ar ais go dtí ár bhfréamhacha maidir le saoirse cainte”. Tagann an t-aistriú seo agus Zuckerberg agus feidhmeannaigh eile i dtionscal na teicneolaíochta ag iarraidh caidreamh a fheabhsú le hUachtarán tofa na Stát Aontaithe, Donald Trump, sula rachaidh sé in oifig níos déanaí an mhí seo. Cháin Trump agus a chomhghuaillithe Poblachtacha Meta as a pholasaí seiceála fíricí, ag rá go ndéanann an comhlacht cinsireacht ar ghuthanna na heite deise. Ag labhairt dó i ndiaidh na hathruithe a fhógairt, dúirt Trump ag comhdháil nuachta go raibh sé an-tógtha le cinneadh Zuckerberg.Tá an Gael, scríobhneoir, agus foilseoitheoir Pádraig Ó Snodaigh ar shlí na bhfírinne.

I love beer flights. One of the things that makes craft beer so much fun is its sheer variety of styles, interpretations of those styles, and ways of using those styles for flavor experimentation. A flight is an opportunity to explore. A flight board might have an Abbey Dubbel, a Munich Dunkel, an ESB, and a Biere de Garde, taking you on a sensory trip to Belgium, Germany, England, and France a few ounces of beer at a time. Flights aren't without their critics—and valid criticisms—but at their best they represent curiosity, excitement, and joy, all qualities craft beer needs right now as it weathers its current market challenges.Why am I talking about flights? Because today we're talking with the king of beer flights, Joel Geier. Joel runs the @brewery_travels Instagram and Twitter accounts and is the author of the new book Flights Across America: A Brewery Lover's Journey, chronicling his beer adventures to over 1,300 breweries across all 50 states. That's an incredible number, meaning Joel has probably visited one in every six or seven breweries in the entire country. And at as many of those breweries as allow it, he's ordered a flight. In the book, Joel gives tips on beer travel, provides hundreds of brewery recommendations, and reminds us how much fun beer is supposed to be.In our conversation, Joel and I discuss our love of flights, how he keeps track of his journeys and the beers and breweries along the way, and some of his favorite stops from his beer voyages.There's been a lot of bad news in craft beer lately, but this conversation between two beer lovers is a chance to rediscover some of the excitement that got us into craft beer in the first place.
