What if the solution to Ireland's housing crisis has been sitting on our doorstep all along? We dive into the Danish model of cooperative housing, where 7% of Danes live in co-ops, and a full third of Copenhageners do too, and explore how the GAA, with its 2,200 clubs and pristine community pitches in every village, could spearhead something similar here. Forget developer margins and speculative bubbles: in Denmark, a co-op share might cost €70–100k, with monthly housing costs around €800, compared to a private flat at €400k and €1,200 rent. We talk about the power of collective ownership, intergenerational communities, and why housing is really about dignity, not speculation. Along the way, we get into Jim Gavin's presidential bid, Fianna Fáil's GAA connection, and why our presidency has become more like Ireland's Got Talent than a serious constitutional role.

Ataxia is a neurologic symptom that refers to incoordination of voluntary movement, typically causing gait dysfunction and imbalance. Genetic testing and counseling can be used to identify the type of ataxia and to assess the risk for unaffected family members. In this episode, Katie Grouse, MD, FAAN, speaks with Theresa A. Zesiewicz, MD, FAAN, author of the article “Ataxia” in the Continuum® August 2025 Movement Disorders issue. Dr. Grouse is a Continuum® Audio interviewer and a clinical assistant professor at the University of California San Francisco in San Francisco, California. Dr. Zesiewicz is a professor of neurology and director at the University of South Florida Ataxia Research Center, and the medical director at the University of South Florida Movement Disorders Neuromodulation Center at the University of South Florida and at the James A. Haley Veteran's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.

Dr Grouse: This is Dr Katie Grouse. Today I'm interviewing Dr Theresa Zesiewicz about her article on ataxia, which appears in the August 2025 Continuum issue on movement disorders. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourself to our audience.  Dr Zesiewicz: Well, thank you, Dr Grouse. I'm Dr Theresa Zesiewicz, otherwise known as Dr Z, and I'm happy to be here. Dr Grouse: I have to say, I really enjoyed reading your article. It was a really great refresher for myself as a general neurologist on the topic of ataxia and a really great reminder on a great framework to approach diagnosis and management. But I wanted to start off by asking what you feel is the key message that you hope our listeners will take away from reading your article. Dr Zesiewicz: Yes, so, thanks. I think one of the key messages is that there has been an explosion and renaissance of genetic testing in the past 10 years that has really revolutionized the field of ataxia and has made diagnosis easier for us, more manageable, and hopefully will lead to treatments in the future. So, I think that's a major step forward for our field in terms of genetic techniques over the last 10 years, and even over the last 30 years. There's just been so many diseases that have been identified genetically. So, I think that's a really important take-home message. The other take-home message is that the first drug to treat Friedreich's ataxia, called omaveloxolone, came about about two years ago. This was also a really landmark discovery. As you know, a lot of these ataxias are very difficult to treat. Dr Grouse: Now pivoting back to thinking about the approach to diagnosis of ataxia, how does the timeline of the onset of ataxia symptoms inform your approach? Dr Zesiewicz: The timeline is important because ataxia can be acute, subacute or chronic in nature. And the timeline is important because, if it's acute, it may mean that the ataxia took place over seconds to hours. This may mean a toxic problem or a hypoxic problem. Whereas a chronic ataxia can occur over many years, and that can inform more of a neurodegenerative or more of a genetic etiology. So, taking a very detailed history on the patient is very important. Sometimes I ask them, what is the last time you remember that you walked normal? And that can be a wedding, that can be a graduation. Just some timeline, some point, that the patient actually walked correctly before they remember having to hold onto a railing or taking extra steps to make sure that they didn't fall down, that they didn't have imbalance. That sometimes that's a good way to ask the patient when is the last time they had a problem. And they can help you to try to figure out how long these symptoms have been going on. Dr Grouse: I really appreciate that advice. I will say that I agree, it can sometimes be really hard to get patients to really think back to when they really started to notice something was different. So, I like the idea of referencing back to a big event that may be more memorable to them. Now, given that framework of, you know, thinking through the timeline, could you walk us through your approach to the evaluation of a patient who presents to your clinic with that balance difficulties once you've established that? Dr Zesiewicz: Sure. So, the first thing is to determine whether the patient truly has ataxia. So, do they have imbalance? Do they have a wide base gait? That's very important because patients come in frequently to your clinic and they'll have balance problems, but they can have knee issues or hip issues, neuropathy, something like that. And sometimes what we say to the residents and the students is, usually ataxia or cerebellar symptoms go together with other problems, like ocular problems are really common in cerebellar syndromes. Or dysmetria, pass pointing, speech disorder like dysarthria. So, not only do you need to look at the gait, but you should look at the other symptoms surrounding the gait to see if you think that the patient actually has a cerebellar syndrome. Or do they have something like a vestibular ataxia which would have more vertigo? Or do they have a sensory ataxia, which would occur if a person closes his eyes or has more ataxia when he or she is in the dark? So, you have to think about what you're looking at is the cerebellar syndrome. And then once we look to see if the patient truly has a cerebellar syndrome, then we look at the age, we look at---as you said before, the timeline. Is this acute, subacute, or chronic? And usually I think of ataxia as falling into three categories. It's either acquired, it's either hereditary, or it's neurodegenerative. It can be hereditary. And if it's not hereditary, is it acquired, or is it something like a multiple system atrophy or a parkinsonism or something like that? So, we try to put that together and start to narrow down on the diagnosis, thinking about those parameters. Dr Grouse: That's really a helpful way to think through it. And it is true, it can get very complex when patients come in with balance difficulties. There's so many things you need to think about, but that is a great way to think about it. Of course, we know that most people who come in to the Movements Disorders clinic are getting MRI scans of their brains. But I'm curious, in which cases of patients with cerebellar ataxia do you find the MRI to be particularly helpful in the diagnosis? Dr Zesiewicz: So, an MRI can be very important. Not always, but- so, something like multiple system atrophy type C where you may see a hot cross bun sign or a pontine hyperintensity on the T2-weighted image, that would be helpful. But of course, that doesn't make the diagnosis. It's something that may help you with the diagnosis. In FXTAS, which is fragile X tremor/ataxia syndrome, the patient may have the middle cerebellar peduncle sign or the symmetric hyperintensity in the middle cerebellar peduncles, which is often visible but not always. Something like Wernicke's, where you see an abnormality of the mammillary bodies. Wilson's disease, which is quite rare, T2-weighted image may show hyperintensities in the putamen in something like Wilson's disease. Those are the main MRI abnormalities, I think, with ataxia. And then we look at the cerebellum itself. I mean, that seems self-evident, but if you look at a sagittal section of the MRI and you see just a really significant atrophy of the cerebellum, that's going to help you determine whether you really have a cerebellar syndrome. Dr Grouse: That's really encouraging to hear a good message for all of us who sometimes feel like maybe we're missing something. It's good to know that information can always come up down the line to make things more clear. Your article does a great review of spinal cerebellar ataxia, but I found it interesting learning about the more recently described syndrome of SCA 27B. Would you mind telling us more about that and other really common forms of SCA that's good to keep in mind? Dr Zesiewicz: Sure. So, there are now 49 types of spinal cerebellar ataxia that have been identified. The most common are the polyglutamine repeat diseases: so, spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 or type 2, type 6, are probably the most common. One of the most recent spinocerebellar ataxias to be genetically identified and clinically identified is spinocerebellar ataxia 27B. This is caused by a GAA expansion repeat in the first intron of the fibroblast growth factor on chromosome 13. And the symptoms do include ataxia, eye problems, downbeat nystagmus, other nystagmus, vertical, and diplopia. It appears to be a more common form of adult-onset ataxia, and probably more common than was originally thought. It may account for a substantial number of ataxias, like, a substantial percentage of ataxias that we didn't know about. So, this was really a amazing discovery on SCA 27B. Dr Grouse: Now a lot of us I think feel a little anxious when we think about genetic testing for ataxia simply because there's so many forms, things are changing quickly. Do you have a rule of thumb or a kind of a framework that we can think of as we approach how we should be thinking about getting genetic testing for the subset of patients? Dr Zesiewicz: Sure. And I think that this is where age comes into play a lot. So, if you have a child who's 10, 11, or 12 who's having balance problems in the schoolyard, does not have a history of ataxia in the family, the teachers are telling you that the child is not running correctly, they're having problems with physical education, that is someone who you would think about testing for Friedreich's ataxia. A preteen or a child, that would be one thing that would be important to test. When you talk to your patient, it's important to really take a detailed family history. Not just mom or dad, but ethnicity, grandparents, etc. And sometimes, once in a while, you come up with a known spinal cerebellar ataxia. Then you can just test for that. So, if a person is from Portugal or has Portugal background and they have ataxia and the parents had ataxia, you would think of spinal cerebellar ataxia type 3. Or if they're Brazilian, or if the person is from a certain area of Cuba and mom and dad had ataxia and that person has ataxia, you would think of spinal cerebellar ataxia type 2. Or if a person has ataxia and their parent had blindness or visual problems, you may be more likely to think of spinal cerebellar ataxia type 7, for example. If they have that---either they have a known genetic cause in in the family, first degree family, or they come from an area of the world in which we can pinpoint what type we think it is---you can go ahead and get those tests. If not, you can take an ataxia comprehensive panel. Many times now, if you take the panel and the panel is negative, it will reflex to the whole exome gene sequencing, where we're finding really unusual and more rare types of ataxia, which are very interesting. Spinal cerebellar ataxia type 32, spinal cerebellar ataxia type 36, I had a spinal cerebellar ataxia type 15. So, I think you should start with the age, then the family history, then where the person is from. And then, if none of those work out, you can get a comprehensive panel, and then go on to whole exome gene sequencing. Dr Grouse: That's really, really useful. Thank you so much for breaking that down in a really simple way that a lot of us can take with us. Pivoting a little bit now back towards different types of acquired ataxias, what are some typical lab tests that you recommend for that type of workup? Dr Zesiewicz: Again, if there's no genetic history and the person does not appear to have a neurodegenerative disease, we do test for acquired ataxias. Acquired ataxias can be complex. Many times, they are in the autoimmune family. So, what we start with are just basic labs like a CBC or a CMP, but then we tried to look at some of the other abnormalities that could cause ataxia. So, celiac disease, stiff person syndrome. So, you would look at anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies, Hashimoto's---so, antithyroglobulin antibodies or antithyroperoxidase antibodies would be helpful. You know, in a case of where the patients may have an underlying neoplasm, maybe even a paraneoplastic workup, such as an anti-Hu, anti-Yo, anti-Ri. A person has breast cancer, for example, you may want to take a paraneoplastic panel. I've been getting more of the anti-autoimmune encephalitis panels in some cases, that were- that are very interesting. And then, you know, things that sometimes we forget now like the syphilis test, thyroid-stimulating test, take a B12 and folate, for example. That would be important. Those are some of the labs. We just have on our electronic chart a group of acquired labs for ataxia. If we can't find any other reason, we just go ahead and try to get those. Dr Grouse: Now, I'm curious what you think is the most challenging aspect of diagnosing a patient with cerebellar ataxia? Dr Zesiewicz: So, for those of us who see many of these patients a day, some of the hardest patients are the ones that---regardless of the workup that we do, we've narrowed it down, it's not hereditary. You know, they've been through the whole exome gene sequencing and we've done the acquired ataxia workup. It doesn't appear to be that. And then we've looked for parkinsonism and neurodegenerative diseases, and it doesn't appear to be that either; like, the alpha-synuclein will be negative. Those are the toughest patients, where we think we've done everything and we still don't have the answer. So, I've had patients in whom I've taken care of family members years and years ago, they had a presumed diagnosis, and later on I've seen their children or other family members. And with the advent of the genetic tests that we have, like whole exome gene sequencing, we have now been able to give the patient and the family a definitive diagnosis that they didn't have 25 years ago. So, I would say don't give up hope. Retesting is important, and as science continues and we get more information and we make more landmark discoveries in genetics, you may be better able to diagnose the patient. Dr Grouse: I was wondering if you had any recommendations regarding either some tips and tricks, some pearls of wisdom you can impart to us regarding the work of ataxia, or conversely, any big pitfalls that you can help us avoid? I would love to hear about it. Dr Zesiewicz: Yeah, there's no easy way to treat or diagnose ataxia patients. I've always felt that the more patients you see- and sounds easy, but the more patients you see, the better you're going to become at it, and eventually things are going to fall into place. You'll begin to see similarities in patients, etc. I think it's important not only to make sure that a person has ataxia, but again, look at the other signs and symptoms that may point to ataxia that you'll see in a cerebellar syndrome. I think it's important to do a full neuroexam. If a person has spasticity, that may point you more towards a certain type of ataxia than if a person has no reflexes, for example, that we see in Friedreich's ataxia. Some of the ocular findings are very interesting as well. It's important to know if a person has a tremor. I've seen several Wilson's disease cases in my life with ataxia. They're very important. I think a full neuroexam and also a very detailed history would be very helpful. Dr Grouse: Tell us about some promising developments in the diagnosis and management of ataxia that we should be on the lookout for. Dr Zesiewicz: The first drug for Friedreich's ataxia was FDA-approved two years ago, which was an NRF2 activator, which was extremely exciting and promising. There are also several medications that are now in front of the FDA that may also be very promising and have gone through long clinical trials. There's a medication that's related to riluzole, which is a medication used for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, that has been through about seven years of testing. That is before the FDA as well for spinal cerebellar ataxia. Friedreich's ataxia has now completed the first cardiac gene therapy program with AAV vectors, which- we're waiting for full results, but that's a cardiac test. But I would assume that in the future, neurological gene therapy is not far behind if we've already done cardiac gene therapy and Friedreich's ataxia. So, you know, some of these AAV vector-based genetic therapies may be very helpful, as well as ASO, antisense oligonucleotides, for example. And I think in the future, other things to think about are the CRISPR/Cas9 technology for potential treatment of ataxia. It is a very exciting time, and some major promising therapies have been realized in the past 2 to 3 years. Dr Grouse: Well, that's really exciting, and we'll all look forward to seeing these becoming more clinically applicable in the future. So, thank you so much for coming to talk with us today. Dr Zesiewicz: Thank you. Dr Grouse: Again, today I've been interviewing Dr Theresa Zesiewicz about her article on ataxia, which appears in the August 2025 Continuum issue on movement disorders.

This podcast was first published in June 2025. The use of so-called 'dodgy box' technology to illegally stream television is widespread. Last week Mary Hannigan reported on the impact dodgy boxes are having on Irish sports broadcasters like Clubber, LOITV and GAA+. “I said it before, it's no different to going in to your local shop, picking up a loaf of bread or a bottle of milk and just walking out the door without paying,” said Jimmy Doyle, the founder of Clubber, the subscription platform that streams GAA club games. “It's theft, at the end of the day.”Individuals have been prosecuted for selling dodgy box services. But so far there have been no consequences for those using them. Back in June on In the News Conor Pope reported on whether dodgy box users will ever face the law. Hosted on Acast.

It's been a dramatic week for Irish artists, activism and the UK's terrorism law. Sally Rooney — one of Ireland's most prominent literary voices — has made headlines for her vocal support of Palestine Action, a group recently designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government. The Normal People author has pledged to donate earnings from her books and BBC adaptations to the group — a move that could place her at risk of arrest under UK anti-terror legislation. Her stance came in the same week that Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in a London court on terrorism charges, accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. Meanwhile, back home, another protest is gathering momentum — this time in the world of sport. A letter signed by around 800 GAA players — including stars from football, hurling and camogie — was delivered to Croke Park, calling on the association to cut ties with Allianz, one of its biggest sponsors. The call comes after a UN special rapporteur's report named Allianz, through its asset-management arm Pimco, as a significant buyer of Israeli government bonds. On today's Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady and Conor McKeon, sports journalist with the Irish Independent, to look at the high-profile costs and consequences of speaking out on Israel and Palestine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Végigvették a kihívásokat, a szakmai fejlődés lehetőségeit, az ipari változásokat és azt is, mitől lesz valakiből nemcsak ügyes, hanem megbízható és keresett szakember.A beszélgetés során szó esett arról, hogy bár egyre több a kurzus és online tartalom, a valódi tudás továbbra is a gyakorlatból és a folyamatos tanulásból jön. A vendégek közösen keresik a választ arra, mikortól tekinthető valaki "igazi" telepítőnek, mire kell figyelni, ha valaki új ebben a szakmában szeretne elhelyezkedni, és hogyan lehet lépést tartani a szédítő tempóban változó technológiákkal.Fontosabb pillanatok: 00:00 Bemutatkozás, iránytű az okosotthon telepítői pályához04:56 Mit jelent telepítőnek lenni gyakorlatban és elméletben12:18 Milyen készségeket keresnek a cégek – szimpátia vs. szakmaiság26:18 Mennyi idő jut a tanulásra a hétköznapokban35:20 Kommunikáció a szakágak között, tanulás a másik területétől41:42 Gyakorlati tippek: redőnymotorok, vezetékek és a folyamatos fejlődés fontosságaA legfontosabb tanulságok és idézetek a mai epizódból:Folyamatos tanulás és naprakészség: "Az a minimum, hogy az ember legalább alapszinten megismeri a rendszereket – a gyakorlás meg nélkülözhetetlen." (Scheffer Zoltán)Rendszerszintű gondolkodás: "Nem elég csak a technológiát ismerni, rendszerben kell tudni gondolkodni, hogy bármilyen igényre legyen válaszod." (Vass Geri)Emberi tényezők: "Nálam első a megbízhatóság, jó kommunikáció, és hogy mennyire tud valaki csapatban és önállóan dolgozni." (Vass Geri)Technológiai változás és utánkövetés: "Nagyon gyorsan jönnek ki az új eszközök; ezeket követni kell, különben máris lemaradsz." (Simon Attila)Több szakma együttműködése: Ha nem beszéled a másik szakág nyelvét, könnyen nyűggé válsz számára, pedig csak így lesz jó a végeredmény.Köszönjük, hogy ma is velünk tartottatok – találkozunk a következő epizódban!

The GAA community in Galway and Roscommon is in mourning following the announcement that Don Connellan died on Monday (4th August 2025). The Kilmore native won the Connacht Senior Football Championship as a player with Roscommon in 2001 before making his mark with Maigh Cuilinn. He led the west Galway club to their first-ever Frank Fox Cup (senior football championship) in 2020, beating Mountbellew-Moylough, before repeating the trick against Salthill-Knocknacarra two years later.  They also won the Connacht crown in 2020.  He was Maigh Cuilinn for six seasons between 2018 and 2023. A brother-in-law of former Galway player Paul Clancy, the Kilmore native was a Garda based in Galway for 24 years, and he was also part of the NUIG Galway backroom team that won the Sigerson Cup in 2022. On Galway Talks on Tuesday, Maigh Cuilinn chairperson Sean Houlihan and Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins joined John Morley and Darren Kelly to pay tribute to Don.

Welcome to "We Need To Talk About Mayo" - a brand new series on the Mayo Football Podcast.There is often an obsession with who the next Mayo manager will be, something we are witnessing right now. We feel that is but one part of the jigsaw and that now is an ideal time to step back and look at the wider picture relating to Mayo GAA.This involves thinking about things like structures, coaching, people, money and the bricks and mortar. In this podcast series we aim to dive into the issues that have the potential to shape the future of the game in Mayo and to ask the questions grassroots volunteers tell us do not often get the time of day.Over the coming weeks, we'll shine a light on those areas that seem to be working well and those on which honest reflection is needed. Most people working at the coalface of Mayo GAA do so with the best of intentions but any organisation which has had repeated issues cropping up needs introspection and to ask itself how can things be done better. What can we learn from the past to improve our decision-making on current issues?At its heart, this podcast series is about a shared ambition in us all: success for Mayo football across the board off the back of a thriving, purposeful, cohesive GAA community.Whether you're spilling out footballs for a training session, lacing up the boots for your next game, painting the dressing rooms, chairing the meetings, driving the county's roads with a car full of future Mayo hopefuls or trekking through the local pub on a Saturday night with a lotto book in hand and tickets to sell, this is a conversation for you!Everyone who cares deeply about the Green and Red and the great game of Gaelic football in Mayo, everyone who cares about the long-term viability of communities that express themselves through the sport and yes, whisper it, everyone who shares the elusive dream of one day seeing Mayo lift Sam for the fourth time. This is a conversation for you!Over the last few weeks, series co-producers Rob Murphy and Edwin McGreal have been speaking to dozens of people with a huge amount of collective knowledge, insight and experience about what they feel are the issues that most need addressing and where the potential for improvement lies.We've broken these topics into four main categories - coaching, infrastructure, governance and culture. This will frame our conversations and we'll be asking for feedback and ideas from our podcast listeners as we go along.We begin today with a scene-set from our regular Mayo Football Podcast crew of Rob Murphy, Mike Finnerty, John Gunnigan and Edwin McGreal.To get in touch with us and to become involved in this discussion, club members can contact us on the Mayo Football Podcast's Discord server or on Patreon at patreon.com/mayopodcast. We're also looking to stimulate discussion on the Mayo GAA Blog (mayogaablog.com) and anyone who wants to contact us directly about the issues raised in this podcast series can email us at themayofootballpodcast@gmail.com.This is a discussion for everyone with an interest in the future direction of Gaelic football in the county. We really do need to talk about Mayo. 

Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome to episode 12 of Word On The Street, where we are talking all things British and Irish Lions ahead of the first test this weekend.

Susanna got the chance to ramble about her favourite sport, Eve got an education in all things rugby, and Rachel joined us from the glorious land of Cork to give her two cents on the GAA as well.Have a topic or thought in mind?

Creatine isn't just for bodybuilders. It's one of the most overlooked, science-backed nootropics for brain optimization, neuroplasticity, mitochondrial energy, and total human performance. This episode reveals why creatine is a non-negotiable supplement for anyone serious about biohacking, longevity, and cognitive upgrades. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey breaks down the myths and truths about creatine, uncovering how it enhances memory, supports your mitochondria, regulates mood, strengthens bones and heart function, and even aids fetal brain development during pregnancy. Drawing from decades of functional medicine, real-world biohacks, and new research featured in the Wall Street Journal, Dave explains how creatine works not only as a muscle booster but as a universal cellular fuel that supports brain benefits, memory improvement, and sleep optimization. You'll learn how to harness creatine for everything from mental performance and mood regulation to faster recovery and better metabolism. Dave covers creatine dosage and timing, how to use creatine loading versus maintenance protocols, and how to enhance creatine absorption by mixing it with hot water or pairing it with glucose and protein to leverage insulin-sensitive pathways. He also shares next-level stacking strategies by combining creatine with caffeine (including Danger Coffee), beta-alanine, nitrates, and electrolytes to maximize both mental and physical results. Whether you're using creatine for brain energy, sprint power, cold therapy performance, or cognitive resilience, this episode delivers practical tools you won't hear anywhere else. If you're following a carnivore diet, in ketosis, experimenting with fasting, or just want to feel sharper and more energized, creatine fits right in. Dave also explores cutting-edge options like GAA creatine, creatine HCL, and intranasal delivery systems, along with key nutrient pairings like TMG and folinic acid to support methylation and avoid side effects. Plus, he explains why vegetarians and vegans may need creatine the most. This is your complete guide to creatine brain benefits, mitochondrial support, memory enhancement, and smarter not harder living.
