It's hoped Clare will carry huge momentum into Round 4 of the National Football League, bouyed by their first win of the league series. The Banner will be looking to secure back to back wins in Division 3 when they welcome Laois to Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg on Sunday. Paul Madden's side come into the game off the back of a strong finish to their game against Fermanagh which saw them pick up their first points of the campaign. Clare FM analyst Joe Garry says the manner of the result will provide a great lift to the squad.
Clare's Senior Football Boss has hailed improved efficiency following their opening win of the National Football League. The Banner overcame Fermanagh by 2-18 to 0-18 on away soil with Aaron Griffin and Daniel Walsh both finding the net. Next up, Clare face Laois at Zimmer Biomet Pairc Chiosóg on February 22nd Manager Paul Madden says reducing turnovers played a big role in the win.

On St Patrick's Day 2024, Gardaí made a grim discovery, the body of a young woman in a canal just outside Monaghan town. She was 23-year-old Kelly Marie Lynch, originally from County Fermanagh. A former PSNI detective who has investigated a number of prominent murders, including the 2020 killing of Katie Simpson by Jonathan Creswell, believes Kelly Lynch's case should be upgraded to a murder investigation.

Krunching Gears - The Rally Podcast, 2025 Season, episode 50. In conversation with Gerry McGarrity, part one. Gerry is known for his dedication, skill, and tenacity. Based in Fermanagh, he has spent decades earning respect as a rally driver, a motorsport preparation expert, and a mentor for young talent. Among the many drivers he guided, none felt his influence more strongly than Mark Fisher.

He has tutored young drivers all the way up to competing in the World Rally Championship, and Mark's rise remains one of the clearest examples of Gerry's ability to spot potential and nurture it with care. Whether he's competing or working behind the scenes, Gerry truly represents the spirit of grassroots rallying.

Sika (cervus nippon) is a mid-sized deer that was introduced to Ireland in the 1860s to the Powerscourt Estate. Soon after that, it started spreading across Ireland. Today, the main concentrations of sika are in Kerry, Wicklow, Tyrone and Fermanagh. More recently, it has also been found in Waterford, Galway, Limerick, and Wexford. The National Biodiversity Data Centre in Ireland lists sika as an invasive species. Despite that, it's afforded protection under the Wildlife Act. It is prized by hunters as a game species and a source of excellent quality venison on the one hand, and hated by foresters and environmentalists for the damage to forestry and biodiversity on the other.Sika is present on the entire European continent and, although not as widespread as in Ireland, it is also causing similar problems. This is reflected in the recent move by the European Commission to launch consultations to put sika on the Invasive Alien Species (IAS) list across the Union. This poses the obvious question: what does it mean for the Irish population of sika if the EC makes such a decision? Will or should it be allowed continuous protection with open and closed hunting seasons? Or should it be reduced to the status of vermin and be eradicated across the country? To discuss the potential future of sika deer in Ireland and present a whole spectrum of views about this species, and invasive species more generally, I spoke with four expert guests presenting different views on the subject. By listening to this episode you will hear from Professor Jaimie T.A. Dick who specialises in Invasion Ecology, Eoghan Daltun an award-winning author who has spent last 15 years regenerating an Irish Atlantic rainforest, Damien Hannigan a Government Appointee to the Irish Deer Management Forum and Public Relations Officer at the Irish Deer Commission, and Professor of Wildlife Restoration Ecology, Adam T.

There is said to be devastation in a County Clare village, following the tragic death of a mother and her two children in a shooting incident in Fermanagh. 45-year-old Vanessa Whyte from Barefield and her children Sara and James Rutledge, who were aged 13 and 14, died in a gun attack at their home in Maguiresbridge on Wednesday. Vanessa was found dead alongside one of her children, while the second child later succumbed to their injuries at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. A man, who also suffered gunshot wounds, remains in a serious condition in hospital.

Would you sleep in a different room to your partner? Or do you think couples should share a bed together? That's what we're asking on today's episode of The Women's Podcast. While many people enjoy sharing a bed with their other half, there are many others who prefer to go solo when it comes to sleep. This could be for reasons including loud snoring, a partner tossing and turning in the night or even a disagreement over what temperature the room should be. While there's still a stigma attached to going your separate ways at bedtime, Australian writer Jennifer Adams argues there shouldn't be.Happily married and sleeping apart from her husband for more than two decades, Adams has literally written the book on separate sleeping and in today's episode she tells Róisín Ingle why it's not only possible but easily attainable, to have both a great night's sleep and a great relationship. She also shares some tips from her book ‘Sleep Divorce: How to sleep apart, not fall apart, which will help you to broach the subject with your partner or figure out how to make it work with limited space. But first, Irish Times journalist Niamh Browne is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including yesterday's shooting in Fermanagh, the average cost of IVF for Irish couples and why Irish radio should be playing more female artists. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Three members of a family have been murdered in Maguiresbridge. The mother and her two children were shot in their family home – with two of them dying at the scene – another in hospital. Another person – a man – was seriously injured and is currently in hospital in Belfast. The PSNI say a so-called ‘murder-suicide' is one line of inquiry and that it is “not anticipated at this stage that any further arrests will be made”.

Conor Macauley, Northern Correspondent, reports that three people who died in a shooting incident in Co Fermanagh yesterday have been named locally.
A County Clare village is said to be devastated, following the tragic death of a mother and her two children in a shooting incident in Fermanagh. 45 year-old Vanessa Whyte from Barefield and her children Sara and James Rutledge, who were aged 13 and 14, died following the incident at a house in Maguiresbridge yesterday. A murder investigation is underway, following the incident at a house on the Drummeer Road yesterday morning. Emergency services were alerted after a 999 call was placed from inside the house. Vanessa Whyte was found dead alongside one of her children, while the second child later succumbed to their injuries at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. A man, who also suffered gunshot wounds, remains in a serious condition in hospital. PSNI Superintendent Robert Magowan says they're investigating a suspected murder and attempted suicide. An Garda Síochána has been assisting the PSNI in liaising with family members in Clare. Barefield native Vanessa Whyte, who attended secondary school at Coláiste Muire in Ennis, moved to Fermanagh several years ago. The Veterinary Surgeon was employed by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Enniskillen. Both she and her two children Sara and James have been described as active members of two local GAA clubs; St Mary's Gaelic Football Club in Maguiresbridge and St Patrick's Hurling Club in Lisbellaw.

A bonfire in Co Tyrone has sparked controversy ahead of the twelfth of July celebrations. It comes after a boat containing more than a dozen life-sized mannequins wearing life jackets was erected on top of the bonfire in Moygashel on the outskirts of Dungannon.The display is believed to resemble the scandal of ‘mass illegal immigration'.Many people are horrified by this display saying, “it resembles sickening racist and far-right attitudes” while others say it is a form of "artistic protest".Should freedom of expression play a part here, or should topics like immigration be kept to a minimum?Joining Andrea to discuss is Sinn Féin's Assembly member for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Colm Gildernew, as well as Phoenix Editor, Paddy Prendiville, Executive Editor of Daily Mail, John Lee and listeners.Image: @GildernewColm on Twitter

Video recording of this episode is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OcxwmDuUeU&ab_channel=UCD-UniversityCollegeDublin Henry Glassie is College Professor Emeritus at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, and has published widely in the fields of material culture and vernacular architecture. His contribution to the discipline of Irish Folklore and Ethnology has been exceptional. Having lived in Ballymenone, Co. Fermanagh, for almost a decade in the 1970s, Professor Glassie published a number of studies inspired by the community there, including All Silver and No Brass (1975), Passing the Time in Ballymenone (1982) and The Stars of Ballymenone (2006). These books are landmark works which have become classic texts for students of Folklore in Ireland and abroad, along with many other items on Professor Glassie's long list of publications. Henry has rendered invaluable service to our understanding of Irish popular tradition and vernacular culture, and he can truly be described as a towering figure in the study of Irish Folklore for more than half a century. Even in his retirement, he remains a staunch and committed friend to Ireland and to the people he worked with while carrying out fieldwork here. Henry has had a long and extremely positive relationship with UCD since the establishment of the Department of Irish Folklore in the university in the early 1970s. With the approach of the fiftieth anniversary of his first major publication on Irish Folklore, All Silver and No Brass, it was deemed especially appropriate for the University to take the opportunity to honour Professor Glassie, and on Wednesday 21 May 2025, Henry was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from UCD, in recognition of his remarkable contribution to the growing area of Irish Studies in general, and to the field of Irish Folklore and Ethnology in particular. It was a great honour and personal privilege for me to sit and 'Pass the Time' with Henry, and over the course of ninety minutes we explored his background, interests, intellectual life, and experiences of field work, as well as delving into the topics of place, creativity, art, meaning, identity, belonging and despair; invoking old friends such as Fred B. Kniffen, E. Estyn Evans, Michael J. Murphy, Seán Ó Súilleabháin, Ellen Cutler, Tommy Love, Michael Boyle, Peter Flanagan, and Hugh Nolan as we trooped our way homewards. My thanks to all my colleagues at the NFC, as well as Susan Lysaght, Sandra Collins, Evelyn Flanagan, Andrew Fogarty, Veronica Aguilar Olmos, Dominic Martella for making this episode possible, and - most especially - to Henry and Pravina for their generosity, openness and kindness.
We know that a great many of you happen to have a fear of spiders, so you might not be thrilled to learn that Ireland now has “zombie spiders” to contend with! Found living in a cave between Cavan and Fermanagh, speleologists Tim and Pam Fogg are the husband-and-wife team who first discovered them so Michele Browne went to meet them.
This week I'm joined once again by Fr. Sean McManus, Fermanagh priest who shared with us the story of meeting IRA intel officer, Joe Lynsky prior to his eventual execution and the hands of his fellow Provos. Fr McManus didn't know it at the time but it would transpire, decades later, that he had likely given Lynsky his last confession before he became one of the IRA's 17 “disappeared”, 13 of which have had their bodies recovered but not Lynsky. 00:00 Joe Lynsky's background & m*rder 2:12 Request from IRA Chief of Staff, Sean Mac Stiofain 27:45 Any other pre-m*rder confessions that Fr Sean knows of ??PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

The episode begins with a host setting the atmosphere for a spine-chilling story, highlighting the cold weather outside and inviting listeners to prepare for a tale titled "Devilstone." This narrative unfolds in Dublin, where the protagonist, Timothy Martin, leads a comfortable life thanks to a substantial inheritance. However, his tranquil existence is disrupted when he inherits an abandoned property in County Fermanagh, known as Devilstone, from a forgotten uncle.Timothy's initial reaction is nonchalant; he considers renting the property out but is met with a skeptical response from his solicitor, Ian Carney. Carney strangely advises against renting it to prospective tenants, raising curiosity and concern. Shortly after, a visitor named Mr. Stoker arrives, furious about having visited Devilstone with his wife. Stoker claims that the house is haunted, which Timothy dismisses as absurd, thinking it's merely an excuse to avoid the rental.Despite Everts, Timothy's loyal manservant, suggesting the hauntings might have a foundation, Timothy is determined to investigate Devilstone for himself. They travel to the estate, encountering an imposing, gloomy mansion that unsettles both of them and their dog, Kim. As they explore the property, strange occurrences and eerie sounds begin to surface, raising the tension.The narrative escalates with Timothy feeling someone's presence, witnessing strange footprints appearing in the mud, and experiencing physical manifestations of terror. Undeterred, he pushes forward, wanting to investigate further despite the creeping fear. However, they soon find themselves trapped in a room as doors mysteriously close, and a chilling voice ominously warns them of impending danger. The ghostly figure of Jason O'Flynn, Timothy's ancestor who had died tragically on the very grounds, appears, confirming that the house is indeed haunted.The suspense builds as Timothy learns about the tragic backstory of Jason O'Flynn, who cursed the place after the demise of his wife. This curse has seemingly trapped his spirit within the house, and the connection to the recent events becomes clear. Timothy resolves to uncover more about the mystery shrouding the estate. The investigation moves forward, but the discoveries lead to a climactic moment when Timothy and Everts uncover a trapdoor concealing the preserved body of Jason O'Flynn himself. This revelation ultimately leads to the lifting of the curse, allowing the ghost to finally rest in peace. The episode closes with a sense of foreboding yet comfort, as the host reflects on the themes of fear and gratitude, urging listeners to find solace in their lives as they drift off to sleep.Overall, the episode is a rich blend of suspense, historical intrigue, and supernatural elements, examining themes of legacy, fear, and confronting the unknown. With careful narrative pacing and intriguing character development, it culminates in a resolved mystery that lingers in the mind of the audience.
