jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/28g4vhuz Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Concerns in small towns in the Muskerry Gaeltacht about speeding cars. Imní i mbailte beaga i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí faoi ró-luas carranna. Concerns have been expressed about the speed limit being regularly exceeded in certain villages in the Múscraí Gaeltacht in Co. Cork. Tá imní léirithe faoin teorainn luais a bheith á sárú go rialta i sráidbhailte ar leith i nGaeltacht Mhúscraí i gCo Chorcaí. In one case, a driver was clocked at 143 kilometres per hour in a small town where there is a 50 kilometres per hour speed limit. I gcás amháin cláraíodh luas 143 ciliméadar san uair ag tiománaí ar bhaile beag ina bhfuil teorainn luais 50 ciliméadar san uair ann. There is an urgent need to implement speed reduction measures immediately, says Gobnait Ní Mhuínneacháin, a Councillor for the area on Cork County Council. Tá géarghá le bearta moillithe luais a chur i bhfeidhm láithreach a deir Gobnait Ní Mhuínneacháin, Comhairleoir sa gceantar ar Chomhairle Chontae Chorcaí. She says that over 1,000 vehicles a day pass through the village of Reighleáin. Deir sise go dtéann breis is 1,000 feithicil sa ló thrí shráidbhaile Reighleáin. Gardaí have revealed that a driver was recorded doing 143 km/h in the town, almost 3 times the speed limit. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag na Gardaí gur cláraíodh tiománaí ag déanamh 143 km/uair ar an mbaile, beagnach 3 oiread na luasteorann. But concerns about speeding on the roads are troubling people across Muskerry. Ach tá imní faoin ró-luas ar na bóithre ag cur as do dhaoine ar fud Mhúscraí. There is also a big problem, people say, in Kilmhuire, and although there is a ramp on the road at the primary school, there are drivers who are said to not pay the slightest attention to the restriction on walking. Tá fadhb mhór freisin adeir daoine i gCill Mhuire, agus cé go bhfuil rampa ar an mbóthar ag an mbunscoil, tá tiománaithe ann a deirtear nach dtugann aird dá laghad ar an srian ar an siúl. According to a study of the village of Reighleán, 86% of vehicles are travelling at an average speed of 68 km/h, in an area where the speed limit is 50 km/h. De réir staidéir ar shráidbhaile Reighleáin tá 86 faoin gcéad de na feithiclí ag taisteal ag luas 68 km/uair ar an meán, limistéar arbh é 50 km/uair an luasteorainn.

The signs, designed to remind tourists which side of the road we drive on in Ireland, would be rolled out in more tourist areas under new road sign guidelines published by the Department of Transport. There is sporadic use of such signs at ferry ports such as Dublin, Dun Laoghaire, and Rosslare and in Gaeltacht areas, but the new updates would allow them to be erected at the exits of popular tourist attractions.

OSSM, an Oracle NetSuite Solution Provider, has announced that Irish plastics recycling company Novelplast is using NetSuite to support its mission to be a world leader in improving the sustainability of plastics. With NetSuite, Novelplast has been able to save an average of 25,000 tonnes of plastic from entering landfill each year. Based in Gibbstown in the Gaeltacht area of Co. Meath, Novelplast's recycling technology is the first of its kind in Europe. Novelplast recycles post-industrial and post-consumer plastic materials otherwise headed for landfill, and it produces an innovative, sustainable product called Revive that helps contribute to a circular economy. To support its rapid growth, sustainability goals, and plans to raise up to €100 million for a new venture, Novelplast selected OSSM to help implement NetSuite and streamline operations for Novelplast's 60 employees across production, supply chain, sales, customer service, and finance. "As the largest plastics recycler in Ireland, streamlined processes and efficient collaboration across the organisation is vital," said Neil Skeffington, CEO, Novelplast. "As our business expands, so does the volume of data that we handle day-to-day. With OSSM's support, NetSuite helps us improve efficiency and enables us to remain focused on delivering value-added recycling services for our customers." With NetSuite, Novelplast has a foundation that is helping to drive operational efficiencies, automate manual processes, and improve collaboration across departments. NetSuite helps Novelplast's teams quickly and easily view purchase orders, scan materials into production, create barcodes for finished goods, and manage customer invoicing. It also automates processes across packing, delivery, stock management, inventory management, and reporting. In addition, OSSM's development team has designed a custom mobile application for Novelplast's teams operating within the recycling plant that helps improve visibility and collaboration across all teams and departments in the business. "Novelplast is making an invaluable contribution to the circular economy and, in turn, a huge impact on our environment through its incredibly important work," said Sinéad Galligani, Chief Marketing Officer, OSSM. "OSSM's implementation of NetSuite and ongoing support helps Novelplast create reliable digital processes across all functions of its business as it continues to innovate and expand. Designed with the future in mind, this system will enable Novelplast to scale up processes as it grows." See more stories here.

Datapac, Ireland's leading technology solutions and services provider, is pleased to announce the renewal of its sponsorship with the National Opera House. This new deal, valued at €150,000 over the next four years, marks the latest chapter in a decades-spanning partnership that has supported the venue in delivering world-class performances and events. As the official ICT sponsor to the National Opera House, Datapac's proactive support enables the National Opera House to roll out its extensive programme of events to citizens and international visitors annually. This includes the Wexford Festival Opera, which welcomes patrons from over 20 countries each year. Ahead of the new sponsorship deal, Datapac engaged with all relevant stakeholders to gain a deep understanding of their respective goals. It then designed and developed an enhanced and future-proofed technology infrastructure which meets all of their evolving needs. The deal advances the National Opera House's technology strategy to boost collaboration, communication, cybersecurity, and connectivity for the venue. In turn, Datapac's solution will empower employees to continue to deliver a top-tier variety of performances for patrons across opera, theatre, dance, and music. With Datapac's solution in place, the National Opera House is becoming a more digitally managed organisation, which is helping it to meet its sustainability goals as part of its climate action plan. In addition, the technology supports the venue in delivering its Education and Community Programme which aims to engage local schools and the wider community with the arts. Established in 2008, the venue is Ireland's only custom-built opera house and was designated as Ireland's 'National Opera House' by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht 10 years ago. An estimated two million people have passed through its doors to date. Randall Shannon, Executive Director, Wexford Festival Opera, said: "Every aspect of the work we do is supported by the Datapac team. Datapac's proactive support gives us the confidence to innovate and expand, and this evolution of our strategy will ensure that we can provide an enhanced service for our valued patrons. As an important economic generator for the region, we greatly appreciate Datapac's commitment to our sustainable future. We look forward to continuing to work with the team over the next number of years." Karen O'Connor, General Manager, Datapac, said: "We are thrilled to extend our partnership with the National Opera House and build on our valued relationship. We will work closely with the team to guide the technology strategy, ensuring that, as a world-class venue, it aligns with international best practices. In a digital landscape that's ever-changing, we ensure that the venue can seamlessly deliver its year-round programme of events and the highly anticipated Wexford Festival Opera. All the world's a stage, and we are delighted to support the National Opera House which makes an invaluable contribution to arts, culture, and the economy in Wexford and across the South East."

An age-and-climate-friendly village in Kildare and a Halloween safety initiative by An Garda Síochána in Kerry were among the winners of the 2024 National Age Friendly Recognition and Achievement Awards. Announced at the 8th annual awards on 7th November, the winning campaigns were chosen for their exceptional contribution to making Ireland an outstanding place to grow older. MCed by RTÉ star Marty Whelan and hosted this year by Fingal County Council at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Northwood, Santry, Dublin, the National Age Friendly Recognition and Achievement Awards winners were: Age Friendly Transport Award, sponsored by the Department of Transport: Cnoc (Inverin) and Casla Bus Shelters, Connemara, Galway County Council. This project was designed to improve accessibility and user comfort at bus stops serving rural Gaeltacht communities in south Connemara. The enhanced facilities increase the attractiveness of public transport and empower older persons to make more climate-friendly transportation choices. Age Friendly Community Innovation Award, sponsored by the Department of Rural & Community Development: Creative Cafés, Monaghan County Council. CreativeCafés are an opportunity for people to get out of the house, meet new people, have a chat and engage in a creative activity, all of which are shown to improve mental health and wellbeing.? It also showcases that public libraries aren't just about books and reading, with the project offering ukulele lessons, acrylic painting, creative writing, Sean Nós dancing, eco crafting, Christmas wreath making and bodhrán making and playing. Age Friendly Communication Award, sponsored by An Post: Development and Publication of a Directory of Health and Social Care Services for Older People, HSE with Laois County Council and Offaly County Council. The ability to access clear and concise information impacts an older person's life, from health and well-being to social connectedness to financial security. A working group comprising HSE, other statutory agencies, and community and voluntary partners developed the directory to link existing cross-sectoral community-based assets. Local consultation with older people informed the planning and this found loneliness to be a real problem in rural areas. The directory signposts opportunities for support, resources and ways to form better social connections. Age Friendly Housing, Brady's Court, South Dublin County Council. The development at Brady's Court represents an exemplifier infill development in an established suburban community - ideally suited and attractive to older residents who would like to right-size. This project is just one example of an ongoing programme of 10 sites currently being developed by South Dublin County Council and is supported by Development Plan policies and objectives which actively encourage age-friendly provision. Age Friendly Environment Award, sponsored by the Centre for Excellence in Universal Design at NDA: Joint winners of this award were: Ballymore Eustace, Age Friendly Climate Friendly Village, Kildare County Council; and Creating Age Friendly & Inclusive Beach Access in Donegal, Donegal County Council & Community Groups. Ballymore Eustace was chosen as a village to become age-friendly and Climate Friendly by the fact that in the last census of 2016, Ballymore Eustace had the largest number of older residents per head of population in the county. From a Climate Action perspective, Ballymore-Eustace was chosen as an example of a rural commuter village and how it can integrate solutions at a community level to adapt to climate change.
