Pat Leahy and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· Ireland's decision to participate in a European-wide initiative celebrating Norman heritage and influence has drawn the ire of Sinn Féin. The initiative is called '2027 The Year of the Normans – People of Europe', and Cabinet approved plans to mark 1000 years since the birth of England's first Norman king William the Conqueror have been labelled “offensive” by the Opposition party.· In a move to start the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza after Israel's near three-month blockade, a majority of EU states have backed a proposal to review the union's agreement governing relations with Israel.· The HSE estimates that the number of children on waiting lists for disability or autism services will grow from 15,000 now to 25,000 by the end of the year, something disability rights campaigner Cara Darmody (14) highlighted with a 50-hour protest outside Leinster House this week.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline, hurling at its most biblical, and the four distinct categories that leaders fall into.

The Health Minister has already been called upon to outline the winter plan for University Hospital Limerick, given concerns with ongoing overcrowding. UHL remains the busiest facility in the country today, with the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation recording 81 patients on trolleys this morning, representing more than one-fifth of all patients without a bed nationwide. According to the HSE's own workforce report, the MidWest also has the lowest number of consultants per population in the country. Speaking in the Seanad Fianna Fáil Senator Dee Ryan says measures must be put in place to ensure there isn't a further exodus of staff to the new Bon Secour's Private Hospital due to open in September.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 bhí dochtúirí ag iarradh saol cailín a shábháil tar éis a loisceadh í agus dhá uair dhiúltaigh lena tuismitheoirí aistriú fola a dhéanamh. I 1987 d'fhan an polaisaí pá don rialtas I rith comhréiteach den ESB agus d'fhan sé faoin ráta boilscithe timpeall 3.4%. I 1998 tháinig an nuacht amach go raibh an Coláiste Traenáil I Teampall Mór ag fáil níos mó ná 2 milliúin punt chun níos mó áiseanna a bheith acu agus go mbeadh níos mó daoine ábalta a bheith ann sa todhchaí. I 2012 in ainneoin na agóid de Tom Moylan ó Fhine Gael, ritheadh an rún chun carrchlós Tyone a thabhairt chuig an HSE. Sin Starship le Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1987. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1976 fuair ABBA a tríú huimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Fernando agus bhí sé an t-amhrán a dhíol den chuid is mó don bhanna cheoil le níos mó ná 10 milliúin chóip. Chum Benny agus Bjorn an t-amhrán. Níor tháinig ABBA amach leis an amhrán ar dtús ach tháinig Anni ón bhanna cheoil amach leis an amhrán ar dtús ar a albam I 1975. I 1993 fuair Aerosmith uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Get A Grip agus shroich siad uimhir 2 sa Bhreatain. Dhíol siad níos mó ná 20 milliúin cóip den albam timpeall an domhain agus bhuaigh siad dhá Grammy. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh David Attenborough sa Bhreatain I 1926 agus rugadh amhránaí Enrique Iglesias sa Spáinn ar an lá seo I 1975 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: doctors were trying to save the life of a badly burned 15 year old girl and were twice refused by the girls parents to add minister blood transfusions. 1987: The governments overall pay policy remained intact through settlement of the ESB dispute at fractionally below the current 3.4 per cent inflation rate. 1998 - THE Garda Training College in Templemore is set for a £2 million infrastructural boost with the additional classroom facilities and other accommodation and will cater for further recruits to the force in the coming years.  2012 - DESPITE the protests of Fine Gael's Tom Moylan, Nenagh, Town Council passed a motion to sell Tyone car park to the Health Service Executive (HSE).  That was Starship with Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now – the biggest song on this day in 1987. Onto music news on this day In 1976 ABBA scored their third UK No.1 single with Fernando, the song went on to become ABBA's biggest selling single, with sales over 10 million. Composed by Benny and Björn the song carried the working title of ‘Tango'. ‘Fernando' was not originally released as an ABBA song but as a solo single by band member Anni – featured on her 1975 solo album 1993 Aerosmith entered the US album chart at No.1 with 'Get A Grip', a No.2 hit in the UK. The album went on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide as well as winning the band two Grammy awards. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – presenter David Attenborough was born in the UK in 1926 and singer Enrique Iglesias was born in Spain on this day in 1975 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

The Department of Transport is coming under pressure to explain why Coast Guard Helicopters can't respond to emergency medical evacuation calls on behalf of the HSE in Clare. Bristow Ireland, which took over the state contract for search and rescue aviation services last year, is currently not licensed to take stretchers on board when responding to medical support calls. Shannon Airport is the only base in the country where this situation currently applies, as sites at Dublin, Sligo, and Waterford are still operating under the old contract. Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says it's an absurd situation.

In and around events since the 1970s Steve Heap needs little introduction. Saying that, there's a whole lot of it in the shape of his forthcoming book: You Call That a Career? The Memoirs of a Festival Organiser…   In the context of this episode, Steve is a founder member and current Chair of the Events Industry Forum (EIF), which took over The Purple Guide from the HSE some 12 years ago. Steve talks host Adam Parry through its evolution from ‘The Guide to Health & Safety at Pop Concerts and Similar Events' to its current digital incarnation, before the conversation moves on to the Grant Scheme.   Raising money via subscriptions to the Guide, The Purple Grant Scheme has funded 24 diverse outdoor projects with more than £318k.   The EIF doesn't let the pot get too big, putting the money to use quickly and Steve details the types of events it backs, extolling the virtues of transparency and how attitude is everything.   The conversation goes on to take in mental health, sustainability, young people, and future funding projects.

The HSE is being urged to end the "unacceptable" practice of unfunded ambulance shifts in Clare. It's understood ambulance cover in Ennistymon on Wednesdays, Scariff on Thursdays and Kilkee on Fridays is primarily secured through overtime or relief staff. The issue has come to prominence again following a number of high profile incidents locally, including reports of a student waiting over an hour for an ambulance after having a seizure at a North Clare school. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle says Clare is the poor relation compared to the rest of the country.

The final report of the Farrelly Commission has found a "fundamental failure" by the South Eastern Health Board and the HSE in their duty of care to a severely intellectually disabled young woman, known as “Grace” However, the report has concluded that it is "not satisfied" that the level of evidence was such to fully establish sexual, emotional or physical abuse of Grace during her time in the foster home in the south east of the country. Shane spoke to "Emma” whose sister “Sarah” was in the same Foster home as Grace.

Demanding that the board of Children's Health Ireland be fired is political showboating at its worst. That's according to Tony O'Brien, former Director General of the HSE and columnist with The Sunday Independent.

The Minister in charge of Mental Health, Mary Butler, told a HSE hosted conference this week that up to 70% of referrals to one Child and Adolescent Mental Health team in Cork were due to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

The HSE has apologised for failings in care which led to the death of 76 year old Michael Cuddihy from County Limerick. He died from septicemia two days after being discharged from the overcrowded emergency department at UHL. Our reporter John Cooke was at Limerick Coroner's Court today.

Construction is finally underway on a brand new dual diagnosis and CAMHS facility in South-East Clare. Inis Ghile in Parteen is set to become the permanent home of the East Clare Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, whilst also treating co-existing mental health and substance misuse issues. The HSE had originally hoped to open the facility last July, it's now envisaged it will be operational in the coming months. Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe believes it will be transformative.

The Tánaiste says he will be demanding answers from the HSE's CEO as to how a Clare woman waited over 3 hours by the roadside for an ambulance following a crash. The incident took place in Doonbeg last Monday after a woman was involved in a single vehicle collision, and required a unit of Kilkee Fire Brigade to remain at the scene until an ambulance arrived. The Government has since signalled it will be rolling out additional community paramedics here to deal with low acuity calls. Speaking during a visit to Ennis, Tánaiste Simon Harris says it was an unacceptable episode.

The imbalance between HSE psychologists and dieticians operating in Clare and Limerick has been branded as shocking. New figures released to Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan following a parliamentary question show there are just 3 public dieticians and 12 public psychologists in Clare. This compares to 19 dieticians and 126 psychologists based in Limerick. Westbury Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan says it's unacceptable.

Clare County Council is being urged to enhance its downsizing and disability respite housing plan. According to the latest census, there are 12,400 senior citizen homeowners in this county with at least one unoccupied room.

The HSE is being urged to bring Clare ambulance patients to Galway where possible, during periods of severe overcrowding at University Hospital Limerick. It's estimated that on average 1,820 patients from this county attended UHL's ED every month last year, with similar trends expected this year. By contrast, last month, 160 patients from Clare were admitted to University Hospital Galway's Emergency Department.

Oil and gas workers operate in extreme conditions, such as the Gulf and the Permian Basin, where the intense heat and high humidity create very hazardous conditions. You lose a lot of body moisture just surviving in those settings.    Most of us know to take a drink of water when we're thirsty, but in those places, by the time you're thirsty, you're already at risk. Is there a better way to measure dehydration risk before it becomes a safety hazard?   In this episode, I sit down with Jim Ryan, Chief Revenue Officer of Epicore Biosystems, to discuss a nifty wearable device that tracks sweat loss, sodium levels, and hydration needs in real time—helping prevent heat-related injuries before they happen.   Elite athletes like Lionel Messi and Serena Williams rely on a sweat patch from Epicore to help them complete. This technology caught the attention of Chevron, who saw the potential to protect its industrial athletes (front line workers). It's been deployed across oil fields, refineries, mining and aviation sectors, changing the way companies monitor worker health and safety.   Stuff that I didn't know:   ✔️ Why sweat is as valuable as blood for real-time health tracking ✔️ The hidden dangers of dehydration—and why most workers don't recognize the symptoms ✔️ How Chevron partnered with Epicore to develop a rugged, industrial-grade wearable ✔️ The privacy-first approach to tracking hydration without monitoring individuals ✔️ What's next for wearables in industrial safety, from muscle fatigue monitoring to ketone tracking   If you're in HSE, operations, or workforce safety, this episode is a must-listen.   About the Guest   Jim Ryan is the Chief Revenue Officer at Epicore Biosystems, the company behind this clever health monitoring technology. Jim has an extensive background in telecom, cybersecurity, and digital health, which is very useful indeed in bringing this kind of technology to the industry.   Additional Tools & Resources
