This week we look back on the facile win over Laois in the Preliminary quarter final and look ahead to next Saturdays game in the Gaelic Grounds against Galway. JJ and Tom are joined by John McIntyre and we have reaction from Liam Cahill. The South Tipp football championship is at the final stage already and the PRO Pat Murphy joins us to review the weekend action: we hope you like.....

The Cork footballers saved their season with a gritty performance in Portlaoise to beat Roscommon over the weekend but their reward is a very tough preliminary quarter-final against Dublin.While Meath and Armagh have beaten the Boys in Blue already this summer, John Cleary's charges will need to produce a season-best to progress to the last eight.We reflect on the victory over the Rossies which was spearheaded by Colm O'Callaghan, Ian Maguire, Mark Cronin and Seán McDonnell, who kicked 0-4 in a tight game. Keeper Micheál Aodh Martin came up with some big plays as well, saving a goal chance at a critical stage and pushing out a dangerous dropping ball for a 45 in the dying minutes.It was heart-stopping stuff, with Roscommon hunting a two-pointer to knock Cork out as time elapsed as Brian O'Driscoll, Seán Brady and Daniel O'Mahony defended brilliantly.What can they improve on for their Croke Park trip though?Plus we reflect on a disappointing All-Ireland minor hurling semi-final exit for Cork against Clare.Fergal McCormack's side had beaten the Banner en route to a Munster title but a four-week break since that provincial success might have been an issue with Clare far sharper throughout. More tellingly, the underdogs showed greater hunger and work-rate around the middle third.Cork were expected to reach what would only have been the county's third All-Ireland final appearance at the grade in the modern era, with the Rebels winning the title in 2021 and losing the 2017 decider to Galway.Still, there were some excellent performers in red over the course of their six matches and we pick out the young players to watch out for in the coming seasons.Plus there's a look at the local action as the club hurling leagues head towards their conclusion.Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be 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.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

It's all on the line for the Galway senior footballers on Saturday (14th June 2025) when they meet Armagh in a repeat of last year's All-Ireland Final. Padraic Joyce's team need a victory to ensure their place in this year's preliminary quarter-finals, while the Orchard County are already group winners and through to the final eight. The Tribesmen could qualify with a draw or loss, but that would depend on Dublin beating Derry in the other game taking place in Newry at the same time.  Scoring difference could also come into play between Galway (-1) and Derry (-4). Galway Bay FM's Domhnall Ó Confhaola joined Darren Kelly on Friday's 'Over The Line' to look ahead to the game. == Throw-in at Kingspan Breffni Park, Cavan on Saturday is 6.30pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

On today's bonus Destination Special we're heading to Ireland, one of my favourite places in the world. Ireland has this special kind of magic. It asks you to slow down, to dig beneath the surface, to chat to the people behind the bar and to take your time - to walk, to wander, to just sit and soak it all up.Joining me is someone who knows the country inside and out - the brilliant comedian and actor, Ardal O'Hanlon. You'll know Ardal, of course, from TV's Father Ted, where he stole the show as the endlessly lovable Father Dougal - and from the extremely popular BBC series Death in Paradise, where he swapped windswept clifftops for tropical crime-solving in the Caribbean. He's also an incredible writer, stand-up, and most recently, travel presenter, in The Emerald Isles, his BBC series which explored Ireland's lesser-known islands, uncovering their culture, music, and wild beauty.In this episode, Ardal shares the places in Ireland that have stayed with him, from childhood summers in Galway and Donegal to his all time favourite destination, a lunar landscape in County Clare, and my favourite part of the episode, his hidden gems, which really bring to life some of the wild islands off the mainland that he visited while making his TV series - a lot to add to your bucket list. We talk about the joy of slowness, the quirks of island life, and his new tour - Not Himself - which he'll be taking across the UK and Ireland soon.So whether you're planning a trip to Ireland, dreaming about one, or you're just here for the stories - settle in and enjoy!Destination Recap:Crockwell, Galway, Co.

Galvia AI, a leading international artificial intelligence company, has announced its UK expansion with a new Manchester office and plans for job creation in the region. Headquartered in Galway, Ireland, Galvia will base its UK operations at the Turing Innovation Catalyst (TIC), within Sister - Manchester's £1.7bn science and technology innovation district. Galvia unifies business data and turns it into connected intelligence that predicts, prompts, and drives smarter decisions in real time. The Manchester investment is set to create double-digit job growth and reinforce the city's position as a growing hub for AI and digital innovation. Galvia's clients range from SMEs in retail, hospitality, and manufacturing to global organisations such as Atos, Nestlé, NTT Data Business Solutions, and several top-ranking universities. At a high-profile launch event held on 3rd June 2025 at TIC, Galvia unveiled plans to empower SMEs across Greater Manchester and the North West to harness the power of AI. The event gathered business leaders, policymakers, and AI innovators, highlighting the strategic importance of Galvia's UK expansion. Commenting on Galvia's UK launch at the Turing Innovation Catalyst, Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council, said: "Manchester has always been a place where ideas thrive and businesses scale with purpose. We're excited to welcome Galvia to Manchester and support the launch of their accelerator programme - a real opportunity for local SMEs to engage with the potential of AI in a practical, meaningful way. By removing barriers to AI adoption, initiatives like this can help unlock the region's entrepreneurial potential and ensure innovation is accessible to all." John Clancy, CEO and Founder of Galvia AI, said: "We're excited to establish roots in Manchester - a city with a dynamic tech ecosystem and a clear vision for innovation. Our goal is to empower SMEs by removing barriers to AI adoption and providing practical, scalable solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems." SMEs often struggle to make use of their data due to siloed systems and limited resources. Galvia addresses this gap with trusted technology that has been developed for both enterprises and SMEs since its founding in 2017. It brings together data from across an organisation, unlocking new insights, driving improvement and enhancing profitability. At the heart of Galvia's Manchester strategy is the Galvia AI Adoption Accelerator, a 5-week programme launching in September in partnership with TIC and law firm Addleshaw Goddard. It's designed to give SME leaders a clear understanding of what to do with their data and a strategic plan of how to integrate AI into their business. The Accelerator is central to Galvia's mission to make AI work for all - providing SMEs with a fast, practical route to leveraging their data and driving growth through innovation. Galvia also intends to partner with SME technology providers in sectors such as retail and hospitality to apply the benefits of AI to their platforms. "AI isn't just for big-budget tech businesses. It can and should make a real, tangible difference for SMEs, which are the core of the economy," added John Clancy. "Together with our partners, we're very proud to bring our accelerator programme to Manchester. It's already proven highly successful in Ireland, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to stay ahead of industry changes and maintain a competitive edge. "We bring seven years of real-world experience in AI - and in AI years, that's a lifetime. We've worked with organisations and data sets of all sizes to make AI deliver real strategic value." Joe Manning, Managing Director at MIDAS, Manchester's Inward Investment Agency said: "Ireland is one of Greater Manchester's most important markets, with a whole host of Irish companies choosing to expand here. "We're very pleased to welcome Galvia, with their decision to set up a UK base in our city-region re...

Sonia ‘Sunny' Jacobs was 76 when she died on Tuesday morning in a house fire in Connemara.Her tragic death made headlines far beyond Galway and Ireland because Jacobs had led a truly remarkable life. It included a death row sentence for the murder of two policemen in Florida in 1976.She spent 17 years in a US jail, five in solitary confinement, before a deal with prosecutors saw her released in 1995.Another person died in the fire in the remote cottage, her carer a young man called Kevin Kelly from Moycullen.Her life – before and after that highway shooting – has been chronicled in books, a play and a film as Jacobs became a campaigner against the death penalty.In an extraordinary twist of fate, a coincidence that could barely have been imagined, she ended up married to a man whose experience mirrored hers. Peter Pringle had also been handed the death sentence over his part in the murder of two policemen: gardaí John Morley and Henry Byrne during a bank robbery in Co Roscommon in 1980.Irish Times reporter Ronan McGreevy has been in Connemara where Jacobs found peace and sanctuary and where she died. He tells In the News her story.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
