SEASON 3! A recent television debate on the Irish language in schools reminded me of a curious story from history. The Language Freedom Movement touches on many widely known figures in 1960s Ireland, including John B. Keane and the broadcaster Gay Byrne. In the Mansion House, a meeting descended into chaos.

We think children are growing up much faster and are more informed about everything. Is this true? My friend's granddaughter started secondary school in September. She is a bright child full of life and involved in all sports and activities. And in recent times, she is never without a smartphone in her hands (restricted) Yes, at thirteen years old, her mother had to take her aside and break that (AWFUL) news to her to avoid any embarrassment in front of her new classmates. Perhaps children are not growing up as fast as we assume they are, and that should be a good thing. I remember my mother all those years ago telling me how I would come to realise that school days are the best days of your life. I am still not convinced, but growing up too quickly is not the alternative. To help you and me get into the spirit of Christmas, let me first provide you with a poem for the children in your life. It's by my favourite poet, Roger McGough. Why not add a poetry book to a child's Christmas stocking this Christmas? Any good bookshop will be willing to offer suggestions. My recommendation would be 'Pie in the Sky'. I have had this book by Roger McGough for years, and the child in me often seeks ideas and inspiration from between its pages. (read on) The Snowman Roger McGough Mother, while you were at the shops and I was snoozing in my chair I heard a tap at the window saw a snowman standing there He looks so cold and miserable I almost could have cried so I put the kettle on and invited him inside I made him a cup of cocoa to warm the cockles of his nose then he snuggled in front of the fire for a cosy little dose He lay there warm and smiling softly counting sheep I eavesdropped for a little while Then I too fell asleep Seems he woke and tiptoed out exactly when I'm not too sure It's a wonder you didn't see him as you came through the door (Oh, and by the way, the kitten made a puddle on the floor) For the last few years, I have spent time in August in Listowel, attending the Revive Festival and, after the festival, being entertained in JB Keanes Pub for the remainder of the night and now managed by his son Billy (a great publican, host, and author in his own right). For the Adults in your life (this could be you!) Here is an extract from John B. Keane's Christmas story entitled 'Many Years Ago' If the Christmas that came to our street were a person, he would be something like this: he would be in his 60s but glowing with rude health. His face would be flushed and chubby with sideburns down to the rims of his jaws. He will be wearing gators and a tweed suit and he would be mildly intoxicated. His pockets would be filled with silver coins for small boys and girls and for the older folk he would have a party at which he would preside with his waist coated paunch, extending benignly, and his posterior benefiting from the glow of a roaring log fire. But you see Christmas is an occasion not a person, A person can do things, change things, create things but all our occasions are only what we want them to be. My wish for you and me is that we could be that person over the Christmas Holidays. Thank you for reading my scribblings over the year and if you enjoy my stuff, could I ask you to gift this article to a friend or colleague? By Executive Coach Andrew Keogh of Aristo.ie

That title sounds familiar? Summer is drawing to a close, and my thoughts revert to that back-to-school feeling. My early memories are of returning from a summer spent in my mother's home place in Enniscorthy. My uncle Mick would hire a car, and a group of his friends would travel to Dublin for the all-Ireland Hurling Final played on the first Sunday in September. They would squeeze me into the car somewhere, and my abiding memory was of the sadness of losing the freedom of the countryside and returning to the restrictions of city life. Perhaps you may be having a similar feeling now that the holidays are drawing to a close. Having enjoyed the slightly slower pace of life during the recent months. I am sure your inbox slowed somewhat; mine certainly did. Mainly because I slowed down and reduced the number of e-mails I sent. (This is my first article since June). Adare for the Pro-Am Watching with friends and family, the best golfers in the world do their thing. Sligo – Strandhill Unfortunately, we played golf in the wind and the rain and had no opportunity to apply what I had observed in Adare in the sunshine. Sligo is still the most beautiful county in Ireland. Listowel in the Kingdom Billy Keane, the proprietor of John B Keane's fantastic little pub, explains that Listowel is a festival town and the businesses in the town were very happy to see Listowel back in full swing. We were there for the Revival Festival, upcoming is ‘Writers Week' and then ‘The Races'. No better place to be in Ireland than at J.B. Keane's for theatre night (every Tuesday and Thursday). We had a great time, with music, poetry, and sing-along to close our summer. Now back creatively refreshed and ready to enjoy another year, meeting new and old clients and supporting them to grow themselves and their businesses. It's time to kick start activities again after a great summer spent holidaying in Ireland.

He was the violent enforcer of Slieve Rusheen who operated with impunity for more than eight years terrorising ‘traitors' who turned on the mighty Sean Quinn. His death from a massive heart attack as UK cops raided his Derbyshire hideaway two years ago played out like the final dramatic scenes of a John B Keane play.

‘I feel it in my waters’ In 1959, Moss Moore, a slight fifty year old bachelor farmer was found murdered in rural Kerry. The community didn't look far for a suspect, with fingers quickly pointing to local man Dan Foley - but was the wrong man maligned for this heinous tragedy? The story would inspire John B. Keane's famous 1965 play The Field and continue to frustrate generations in the many questions still left unanswered. @juleijaycomedy chats to @bernardcaseycomedy.

Keane of Listowel recalls the fun in Listowel at the Wren.In the village of Tournafulla in West Limerick lived Dan Curtin and his memories of the Wren, and those of Christy Nulty from The Naul in North Dublin as he discusses the Mummers in his area, bring the old traditions of St. Stephen's Day to life again.

If you trespass onto somebody else's property, use it for a 12 year-uninterrupted period on your own, you are entitled to become the legal owner of that property. Why is this allowed? Is anyone entitled to do this? And does this conflict with the basic property rights which hold our society together? Pierce, Alex and Gavin discuss the law around adverse possession and the case of Dunne v Irish Rail.

Land has been the cause of some of the most vicious feuds and brutal murders in modern irish history. Often portrayed as the poor tenant farmer against powerful landlords, the real stories were often more complex. In a society where people developed what was an unhealthy obsession with land there were all too many willing to kill friends family and neighbours over it. The sentiments which fuelled this were epitomised in John B Keane play and later an Oscar nominated movie The Field, where the central the Bull McCabe who commits murders over land says It's my field. It's my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it! My only want is that green grass, that lovely green grass, and you want to take it away from me, and in the sight of God I can't let you do that.While the Bull McCabe was a fictional character that story was based on real life events. Indeed every county in Ireland had its own story of a land related murder.This podcast tells one - a feud over a farm outside the East Cork town of Castletownroche. Taking places in the decades after the famine this dispute resulted in the deaths of four people. Buried for nearly a century and half this story is told for the first time in this two part podcast. Support the show at patreon.com/irishpodcast  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

'Jim Craven: A Dynamic Genius’ explores the life and works of Jim Craven (1935–1980), a Dundalk poet inspired by Kavanagh and referred to by John B Keane as 'a dynamic genius’. Born into a large family, he lived in the townland of Balregan in the Parish of Faughart, just a few miles north of Dundalk. The townland where he spent most of his life resulted in one of his local nicknames becoming the ‘Bard of Balregan’. Many also referred to him as the ‘Laureate of Louth’. His poetry explored many themes including childhood, nature, rurality, sexuality, love, violence, religion, mythology and history. He also wrote frequently on ‘The Troubles’, having been brought up only a stone’s throw from the border. In his lifetime, Jim had his work published in The Dundalk Democrat and in periodicals in the USA. Two books were published after his death - Selected Poems in 1983 and Nice of You Jim in 2005. His work was also included in Eugene Robert Platt's A Patrick Kavanagh Anthology in 1973 and Daniel J. Casey's Poetry of the Cúchulainn Country in 1978. Craven passed away at the age of 45 years on the 27th April 1980 in a car accident. Featuring Jim’s brother, Paddy Craven, who wrote a play about Jim’s life that was performed in the Town Hall in 2010, his niece Deirdre Craven, and his good friend Gerry Murphy, the documentary remembers both the man behind the poetry, along with the work that he created during his short life, in order to preserve it for the generations to come. Local artist Jinx Lennon is also featured throughout performing some of Jim’s many poems.

In keeping with the St. Patrick's Day holiday, the guys had corned beef as their common ingredient, and discussed a few essays by John B. Keane -- the most preeminent Irish essayist that Google has to offer. It just so happens that the classic reuben was the inspiration for both of this week's sandwiches: Ryan's corned beef, sauerkraut, pepper jack and Brussels sprout sandwich on rye (ENTICE: 28), and Rob's corned beef, kale, hummus, fried egg and chipotle sandwich on pumpernickel dubbed "the Robert" (ENTICE: 28). They turn to the Keane essay "Humble Pie" before discussing essays "Foul Talk" and "Fear."
