 The Piper Alpha oil platform explosion killed 167 men and changed offshore safety forever. This is how a chain of ignored warnings turned the North Sea into a firestorm. And how another disaster, Deep Water Horizon, was foreshadowed by Piper.On July 6th, 1988, the North Sea lit up like a second sun. The Piper Alpha disaster wasn't just an accident—it was engineered by complacency, cost-cutting, and a system built to fail.This An Ounce episode dives into the chain of decisions that made disaster inevitable: missing paperwork, disabled safety systems, and production pressure that drowned out caution.From the first spark to the last survivor, this is the story of a night that reshaped offshore drilling worldwide.If you've ever wondered how safety rules are written in blood, this is it.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 22ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1977 tharla stailc I gcóir cúpla seachtain I rith an samhradh agus rinne sé damáiste do na seirbhísí telex. Bhí contúirt ann go mbeidís siad chun pléasc arís tar éis a rinne siad fionraíocht ar dhá theicneoir innealtóireacht in oifig an phoist. I 1990 rinne cumann oifigeach príosúin ghlaoch ar an scuad calaoise chun fiosrú a dhéanamh ar neamhréir sa chiste de 12 míle punt I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2003 bhí áis mhótarchánach Comhairle Chontae Thiobraid Árann an chéad seirbhís ar líne do cháin bhóthair. Bhí daoine ábalta logáil isteach chuig an suíomh agus íoc a cáin ar líne in ionad a bheith ag seasamh I líne ar feadh tamall. I 2008 tháinig sé amach go raibh an tOspidéal san Aonach Urmhumhan chun A&E a dhúnadh ar feadh cúpla uair I rith na hoíche chun gearradh siar ar chostas ón HSE. Tháinig an nuacht amach tar éis a scríobh 12 dochtúir chuig na polaiteoirí nach mbeidís ábalta déileáil leis an obair bhreise san Aonach Urmhumhan agus go mbeadh a lán conspóid chun teacht. Sin Shaggy le Boombastic – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1995. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 chuaigh Garth Brooks chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena halbam No Fences. Tá sé an t-albam ceol tuaithe a dhíol den chuid is mó ag an am agus dhíol sé níos mó ná 13 milliúin cóip sa chéad cúig bliana. I 1991 bhí Bryan Adams uimhir a haon sna cairteacha sa Bhreatain lena hamhrán Everything I Do I Do It For You agus bhí sé uimhir a haon do 12 seachtain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Andrea Bocelli san Iodáil I 1958 agus rugadh aisteoir Tom Felton sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1987 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

There's nothing quite like an election looming and the budget in the offing to make the work of a journalist more exciting. That's definitely been the case over the past week on Galway Talks. ?We started off the week by discussing VAT and the potential reduction back to 9% for the hospitality sector. There is some concern among certain quarters that it might also include big multinationals—something that many organisations, including unions, have not taken too kindly to. We discussed it on the programme with Galway man and Chief Executive of the Restaurants Association of Ireland, Adrian Cummins, alongside Lorraine Heskin, who is the owner of the Gourmet Food Parlour chain, who have a premises in Salthill. On the opposite side of the fence was Dr. Laura Bambrick of ICTU. The issue of maternity services at Portiuncula University Hospital in Ballinasloe was brought into sharp focus this week by an Oireachtas Health Committee meeting. The committee heard contradictory information regarding the implementation of the Walker Report at the hospital. The committee heard information that appeared to conflict with previous statements from the Minister for Health and the Department of Health. Both Bernard Gloster (HSE CEO) and Colm Henry (Chief Clinical Officer, HSE) gave evidence at the committee meeting. They were questioned by Roscommon-Galway TD, Dr. Martin Daly. The admitted to him that the report was not fully implemented at the hospital. The ongoing saga has caused significant consternation locally, with many constituents demanding a meeting with the Minister for Health. The Minister has consistently maintained that her decision regarding the future of the services was made based on the "best clinical advice." However, the failure to fully implement the Walker Report is a key point of concern, exacerbating the anxiety among local communities about the long-term security and level of maternity services at Portiuncula. We're well into September now, and the storm season will be rolling in quick and fast from the south-west prevailing winds. The issue of the security of our energy grid was brought into focus this week by Fianna Fáil Deputy for Galway West, John Connolly. Connemara was one of the worst-hit areas affected in the aftermath of Storm Éowyn earlier this spring. We discussed investment into the energy grid between now and January 2026, which will cause a day or two of outages in certain parts of Connemara, from Carraroe right across and into Western South Connemara. Donald Trump's remarks in relation to autism and vaccines have caused quite a stir in the medical community this week. They have absolutely refuted his claims that paracetamol is linked to rising cases of autism. We discussed this on the programme earlier on this week with the President of the IMO Anne Deane. The question of funding for the Irish language and Irish language rights was very much put into focus last weekend with the Cearta March on Dublin. Our reporter Seán Ó'Maoilchiarán spoke to a number of different people and organisations on the ground who were passionate about the language, and who want to see increased funding and increased rights for Irish language speakers. We got a flavour of the march and the athmosphere on the day. Our Community Matters programme featured the wonderful island and islanders of Inishbofin. You can listen back on our website.

A Clare disability activist claims some schools need to be "more proactive" in assisting children and parents with the "frustrating" assessment of need process. With the 2025/26 school year now in full swing, new figures from the HSE have revealed that just 19 children in Clare received an assessment in the first six months of this year. An assessment of need is an evaluation carried out by the HSE for children or young people with a disability. The process identifies a child's health needs and what health services are required to meet these needs. While the HSE frequently emphasises that an assessment of need isn't necessary in order to avail of health services, it can make it easier to access supports. New HSE data released to Sinn Féin shows just 19 children in Clare received an assessment of need between January and June, which accounted for just 11% of its cases. Of those assessed, a whole 16 were found to have a disability. Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan believes a shortage of the appropriate staff is a key issue. Department of Health figures published in June, meanwhile, show almost 15,300 assessment of need applications were overdue at the end of March which was up 8% on the figure for last December. The total for the Midwest region was 434, indicating a reduction of less than 2% from December.

217 Being Bold and Highly Sensitive

Midyear energy brings a natural pause point—a chance to reflect and ask: how can I use this midyear energy to be bold? It’s an opportunity to explore what being bold really means for highly sensitives in business and leadership. Spoiler: it doesn't have to be big or drastic. In fact, for HSPs boldness is less about force and more about alignment—it's the intentional practice of stepping outside your comfort zone in service of your essential self. Being highly sensitive and bold is the ultimate intentional use of the tension. Bold doesn't cancel out sensitive—instead, they amplify each other. In our final Business Miracles podcast episode, I walk you through what it means to be both highly sensitive and bold, and why that's not a contradiction—it's an advantage. We talk about competence and risk as a practice, how to recognize when you're denying your essential self (and how to pivot), and why boldness is less about hustle and more about alignment. You'll get a clear five-step process to help you take bold action, rooted in your HSE strengths like intuition, creativity, and deep spiritual connection. This is your invitation to let go of the “other 80%er” (non-HSP) way of doing things and instead lead in a way that's true to who you are. Along those lines, we will be moving this podcast over to our YouTube channel, where fresh training content, just like you receive here, will be shared twice per week.
