Marry shares her inspiring journey from growing up in London to running a 50-acre conservation farm on Ireland's west coast — a place where people reconnect with nature through joyful experiences with animals, especially pigs.           Mary introduces listeners to Amelia, her beloved Juliana pig who leads woodland walks that have become one of Ireland's most unique and beloved eco-tourism experiences. Amelia has even been featured on the news, earned hundreds of 5-star Airbnb reviews, and helped countless visitors — including children overcoming fears — discover the healing magic of pigs and nature.           Together, Autumn and Mary discuss the emotional and therapeutic power of spending time with pigs, how animals help people relax and reconnect, and the importance of teaching healthy boundaries through animal interactions. Listeners will also hear touching rescue stories!          This conversation is filled with laughter, learning, and shared passion for conservation, enrichment, and the joy pigs bring into people's lives.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, has announced funding of over €3.5 million for 16 research projects under Research Ireland's COALESCE (Collaborative Alliances for Societal Challenges) 2025 programme. COALESCE supports excellent, interdisciplinary research that addresses national and global societal challenges by fostering collaboration between researchers and policymakers, civil society, and enterprise. Announcing the awards, Minister Lawless said: "Harnessing the power of research is key to tackling the most pressing challenges facing our society. These awards are not just about academic excellence - they are about delivering real, tangible benefits for people and communities. Whether it's supporting survivors of gender-based violence, driving climate action, or safeguarding our cultural heritage, these projects will make a meaningful difference. This is research with purpose, and I commend all the awardees for their dedication to the public good." Dr Diarmuid O'Brien, CEO of Research Ireland, commented: "The projects being announced today bring together diverse disciplines, communities, and policy partners to co-create knowledge that matters. We are proud to support projects that amplify underrepresented voices and tackle issues that are often overlooked. These research projects are advancing knowledge, sustainability, justice, and inclusion." Two of the projects are funded by Cuan: The Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (DSGBV) Agency, under a newly-launched strategic strand. Dr Stephanie O'Keeffe, Cuan CEO, stated: "Cuan is delighted to partner with Research Ireland to establish a new research funding strand for COALESCE 2025, dedicated to Domestic Sexual and Gender-Based Violence research. A key objective for Cuan is to strengthen the existing knowledge base and build an evidence-informed response to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, informed by the lived experience of victim-survivors. In this regard, the creation of this important research strand is of great significance to Cuan. "Given so many academic disciplines are of relevance to the study of domestic and sexual violence, Research Ireland's COALESCE funding strand provides a rich opportunity to support action and policy-oriented research, providing much-needed insights for policy makers and practitioners, and improving outcomes for victims and survivors." Funded projects include: Lived Realities: The first Irish study to explore the lived experiences of victim-survivors in sexual offence trials, aiming to inform future legal reforms (Dr Susan Leahy, University of Limerick) - funded by Cuan. Faith-Inclusive and Culturally Competent Responses to Domestic, Sexual, and Gender-Based Violence (DSGBV): Addressing Systemic Barriers for Muslim Women in Ireland (FATIHA) (Prof. Roja Fazaeli, University of Galway) - funded by Cuan Canúint.ie: Developing a digital platform to preserve and share Ireland's regional Irish dialects through searchable audio archives (Dr Úna Bhreathnach and Prof. Tomás Ward, Dublin City University). AI and Dropout: Using AI to identify factors contributing to student dropout in STEM fields, aiming to inform national education policy (Dr Jason Power and Prof. David Tanner, University of Limerick). Bridging Landscapes: Co-creating climate resilience strategies with communities in Dingle and Balbriggan through a design justice approach (Dr Fiona Murphy and Prof. Fiona Regan, Dublin City University). Minimal Curation: Using energy-efficient digital tools to help communities ethically preserve and manage their own cultural materials (Dr James O'Sullivan, University College Cork, and Dr Susan Rea, Munster Technological University). RENOVATE healthcare: Evaluating the effectiveness of different treatments for depression to support affordable care tailored to the Irish health system (Prof. Frank Doyle and Dr Fiona Boland, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences).

Of all of the great imperatives found in Scripture, few are more crucial than that found in Proverbs 4:23:    'Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.'   If we fail to do this, all else will be in vain.

Maigh Cuilinn are seeking to reach a first provincial decider since their last sojourn outside Galway in 2022, but the first-time winners in Leitrim will come to Salthill with nothing to lose. Leading up to the game, former Maigh Cuilinn and Galway football star Gareth Bradshaw looked ahead to the game on 'Over The Line' with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at Pearse Stadium on Sunday is 1.30pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

Parking metres continue to be a bone of contention here in Galway city and with City Councillors, as a legal settlement has been reached between the city council and the private company who were operating the machines in and around the city centre. Fine Gael councillor Frank Fahy has hit out at the fact that we don't know what the settlement was and he also wants clarity on how the parking situation can be improved upon in the future, as we are currently left in limbo. He joined me on the programme earlier on this week to highlight his concerns. The issue of road safety in Kinvara was brought into focus again this week as a number of schoolchildren protested from Seamount College, the National School and the creche. They marched through the village on Thursday at 12 noon, calling for safe crossings along the busy stretch of the N67. Currently, there is no traffic management plan for the village and there are no traffic lights or pedestrian crossings for the children. With many children exiting out of buses, they are having to cross the road at peak times. ​Our reporter, Saoirse Duhan was out there and spoke to a number of the children who were part of the demonstration and our reporter, David Nevin, also spoke to the Principal of Seamount College. The Government published their new housing plan this week, and it got a mixed response. ​Government spokespeople say that there are ambitious targets and that there have been a number of changes which will improve the lot of first-time buyers, developers, and builders looking to ramp up construction and infrastructure projects in the country. ​The Opposition have said that a lot of announcements in this plan have already been published in previous documents from previous governments, and they've added that it lacks the ambition and the mechanisms to allow us to ramp up the speed of our housing targets. ​We discussed this on the programme with Minister Seán Canney and also with Sinn Féin TD Mairéad Farrell. Don't forget the best of Galway Talks comes out every Saturday and Sunday morning between 7:00 and 8:00. Join us again on Monday morning for Galway Talks and after 11:00 Our Galway Great is none other than the Westside native and former Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper, David Forde.

Topics covered : rape, living in fear, trauma, self harm, PTSD, reclaiming. Bláthnaid Raleigh is from Mullingar, and her world changed forever after a night out in Galway in July 2019, when she was attacked and raped by a man from her hometown, Johnny Moran.As you can imagine, this conversation is intense at times, so please take care while listening.For five long years, as Bláthnaid tried to rebuild her life, he continued to live his, as normal — while she and her family were left in limbo, waiting for justice.Finally, in July 2024, he was sentenced to eight years in prison, without ever showing an ounce of remorse.Bláthnaid's book Aftermath is a powerful and devastating account of what it means to survive — and of the failings of a system that left her feeling forgotten and silenced. But it's also a story of extraordinary strength, courage, and the slow process of reclaiming herself.If you've been affected by what you've heard, please know that you're not alone and there is help available.Sexual Assault Treatment Units (SATUs) - Rape Crisis Ireland Hosted on Acast.
