Podcasts about Galway

The Echo Sport Podcast crew break reflect on a cracking opening weekend of club hurling action that featured a host of Cork stars back in action for the first time since the disappointment of their All-Ireland semi-final loss to Galway.Mark Coleman certainly came up with a big moment for Blarney when he smashed home a free in the 64th minute for Blarney to beat Castlelyons by a point. Niall O'Leary marked Shane Barrett in a gripping game where former Cork defender Colm Spillane was immense. Darragh Fitzgibbon's powerful display at midfield for Charleville in their upset over champions and favourites Sarsfields was the standout game. Dominic Foley's side had pushed Sars hard in last year's quarter-final but they showed they're contenders now.Blackrock's come-from-behind victory over the Glen was also a sensational result, given they were reduced to 14 men when they trailed 0-11 to 0-6 in the first half. Alan Connolly clipped two points from play in added time to secure an unlikely win and he also sniped an opportunistic goal. A big response to the recent criticism.Robbie Cotter and Tadhg Deasy also impressed and it was notable that Eoin Downey nailed 0-3 from distance for the Glen, who are now under pressure when they meet Kanturk later this month. Alan Walsh scored a goal and set up two more as Kanturk hammered Fr O'Neill's while Robbie O'Flynn had 0-5 in Erin's Own's Senior A success against Na Piarsaigh. Tommy O'Connell was centre-back as Midleton had a surprisingly comfortable win over a St Finbarr's side that didn't get enough of a return from play from Brian Hayes, Ben Cunningham and William Buckley.Barry Walsh's 1-4 was key as Killeagh got the better of Fermoy and Bride Rovers' return to the top tier saw them outgun Newcestown, with Brian Roche landing 0-4 but former Cork U20 Cillian Tobin also excelling as sweeper.Now in its fourth season, every Monday, Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

Ireland's native honey bee has survived for thousands of years, adapting to our climate and becoming a unique part of the country's natural heritage.   But scientists warn that its future is under threat from hybridisation with imported bee strains.   A Private Members' Bill currently before the Oireachtas aims to ban the importation of non-native honey bees in an effort to protect this distinctive population, while new scientific research is strengthening the case for legal protection.   Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to discuss why Ireland's native honey bee is so important, and what could happen if it's not protected, were Dr Grace Patricia McCormack, Personal Professor in the School of Natural Sciences and the Ryan Institute at the University of Galway, and Loretta Neary, Chairperson of Native Irish Honey Bee Society.

In 1922, Ireland gained its independence. The new state promised to revive the Irish language. A century later, English still dominates daily life. What went wrong?In this episode, I speak to John Walsh of the University of Galway, author of One Hundred Years of Irish Language Policy, 1922–2022, about why a movement that had real momentum in the years before independence stalled in the decades that followed.John traces the high ambition and lofty ideals to the failed policies of successive Irish governments. He also reveals how at times outright hostility to the language within the political establishment emerged in the later 20th century with devastating consequences. The episode also looks at the very different experience of the language in the Northern State, where the unionist government treated Irish as a threat.Support the show at www.patreon.com/irishpodcastIf you want to find out moreFind out more about John and his work: https://research.universityofgalway.ie/en/persons/john-walsh/To find out more about this subject, check out John's book One Hundred Years of Irish Language Policy, 1922–2022 https://www.peterlang.com/document/1248601Check out this episode with Dr Nicholas Wolf on why the Irish language went into decline in the 18th and 19th century. https://shows.acast.com/irishhistory/episodes/the-irish-language-why-ireland-became-english-speakingJohn's forthcoming book Ar Lámh Shábhála?

In this episode, Trisha and I answer two thoughtful listener questions that so many women will relate to. The first is about perfectionism and the pressure to get everything right. If you've ever felt like giving up because you couldn't do something perfectly, you're not alone. We explore why this mindset can keep us stuck and how we can begin to be kinder to ourselves. The second question looks at the balance between self-discipline and self-compassion. How do we know when to push ourselves and when it's ok to rest? It can be difficult to tell the difference, especially when guilt gets involved. As always, Trisha McHale brings her psychotherapist's perspective to the conversation, helping us look beneath the surface of these common struggles. If you've ever wrestled with perfectionism, questioned whether you're being too hard on yourself, or wondered how to find the balance between discipline and compassion, this episode is for you.

What does it take to turn a childhood tradition into a platform with 1.5 billion views, without losing what made it real in the first place? In this episode of Winners Find A Way, Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with Michael and Matthew Gardiner, known as the Gardiner Brothers, five-time World Champion Irish dancers, global content creators, keynote speakers, and performers. Michael and Matthew were born in Denver to Irish parents and raised in Galway, Ireland, where their parents put them into Irish dancing to keep their culture alive. That decision became a full career: the brothers went on to become principal dancers with Riverdance, touring the world as lead performers. When the pandemic shut down live shows, they made a choice that changed everything. They started filming themselves dancing to unexpected music, from Michael Jackson to Eminem, and posted it online. That decision grew into a platform with over 9 million followers and 1.5 billion views, and eventually into their touring production, Unleashed, and a keynote and speaking business built around innovation and creativity. What stands out in this conversation is the system behind the art. Michael and Matthew break down their framework, "acting on beat, thinking offbeat": onbeat is your structure (your product, your goals, your process), and offbeat is the creative edge that turns good into great. Both brothers also hold degrees, Michael in architecture and Matthew in civil engineering, and they explain how that technical training shaped the systems now running their business. The conversation also moves into a topic every leader needs to think about right now: discernment, and why real, in-person experience is becoming more valuable as AI reshapes what audiences see online. This episode is a reminder that winners are not people who never face setbacks. Winners are the ones who learn, adjust, lead, and find a way. In This Episode, We Discuss: How a pandemic pause turned into a platform with 9+ million followers and 1.5 billion views The "acting on beat, thinking offbeat" system for building innovation into any business How Michael's architecture degree and Matthew's civil engineering degree shaped the systems behind Gardiner Brothers What it means to be a disruptor by combining things that "don't make sense" together Why discernment and real, in-person experience matter more as AI content grows Growing up as children of Irish immigrants in Denver, and what community and culture taught them about connection Key Takeaways ✨ Systems and creativity have to work together Michael and Matthew's "onbeat, offbeat" framework shows that structure alone will not make you innovative, and creativity alone will not scale. You need both, working in relationship with each other. ✨ Your background is never wasted An architecture degree and a civil engineering degree do not sound like tools for building a global content business. But Michael and Matthew show how that training gave them the systems thinking behind everything they do now. ✨ Discernment is a leadership skill, not just a talent As AI blurs the line between real and fake, knowing the difference between quality and mediocrity, or truth and noise, is becoming one of the most valuable things a leader can teach their team. ✨ Disruption comes from combining what doesn't seem to fit Irish dance and Smooth Criminal should not work together. That is exactly why it did. Innovation often starts by putting two things next to each other that nobody expected. Resources Mentioned Leading Winning Teams by Trent M.
