Paradyn, one of Ireland's leading cybersecurity and managed service providers, today announces that it is delivering a managed detection and response (MDR) solution to Kildare County Council which will support the secure rollout of critical public services. As the volume of cyber threats continues to grow, Kildare County Council needed to enhance and futureproof detection and protection levels across its entire organisation. Paradyn was chosen to deliver a new MDR solution, based on Sophos technology, which will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve Kildare County Council's ability to detect, respond to, and prevent cyber risks. Minimising business disruption, the Sophos MDR solution will integrate seamlessly into Kildare County Council's existing IT environment. Round-the-clock monitoring from Sophos' security operations centre, backed up by Paradyn's skilled teams, will secure operations, strengthen cyber resilience, and optimise IT resources for the council. The service will also boost compliance for the organisation in a changing regulatory landscape. This advanced cybersecurity portfolio will, in turn, protect sensitive data for Kildare's nearly 250,000 citizens and foster increased public trust as the council continues to deliver essential public services. It will also help to support the secure rollout of services including housing, roads, urban planning, and culture across the county. Paradyn was recently named a Sophos Platinum Partner – the highest partner accreditation – for its expertise in delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions to customers built on Sophos technology. Rory Hopkins, Head of Information Systems, Kildare County Council, said: "It's crucial that our cybersecurity processes protect and optimise our vital resources, and this new service is leading to a more secure, resilient, and efficient operation. It ultimately contributes to a safer and more secure experience for all who engage with our services. We have worked with Paradyn on previous IT and security projects and knew that the team was best placed to deliver on this next phase. We look forward to continuing to innovate, safe in the knowledge that our systems are protected." Fergal Meehan, Chief Commercial Officer, Paradyn, said: "In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber risks, this solution will enhance the overall cybersecurity posture for Kildare County Council. Our Sophos MDR service consolidates cybersecurity tools and products into one managed service with proactive monitoring by our highly skilled team of cyber analysts, even outside of traditional office hours. It provides peace of mind for the council as it continues to deliver essential services to the people of Kildare." See more stories here.

Kelsey Leonard has got off to a flyer in professional boxing. Fittingly, that's exactly how she started as an amateur: spotting a flyer at age nine inviting youngsters to her local club, showing up, and never looking back.Inspired by her idol, Katie Taylor, the Kildare native stormed the amateur ranks, securing eight Irish titles and medals at both the Junior European and World Championships. While Taylor cleared the path for women in the Olympics, Leonard faced a formidable domestic roadblock in Belfast's Michaela Walsh. In this episode, Kelsey opens up about the lengths she went to for that Olympic dream—and the weight of eventually leaving it behind.Now, she's trading one rivalry for another. After a perfect 4-0 start in 2025, Leonard returns to the National Stadium on April 4 to face Mayo's Elaine Harrison. It's a landmark moment for the sport: the first all-Irish BUI-sanctioned female fight in history.Kelsey also breaks down the grueling transition to the pros, from managing an intense training load and media scrutiny to the nuances of mental self-preservation. We also talk about fighting lads and the benefit of having supportive mams and dads. After a shared training session—and a swift arse-kicking on the chessboard—The Rocky Road can confirm: Kelsey Leonard is one fearsome competitor. (Podcast photo by Babs Daly). Hosted on Acast.

The Cork hurlers secured only their second league win at Nowlan Park since 1987 after an impressive showing in desperate conditions.In what was arguably the Rebels' most impressive performance and result this spring, they returned from a mid-league game with the right attitude and a serious goal threat. The three green flags raised by Brian Hayes and rookies Barry Walsh and Alan Walsh (no relation!) were decisive and Cork could afford a missed penalty by Alan Connoly and another handful of chances wasted.The new faces included goalkeeper Paudie O'Sullivan and Hugh O'Connor, in his first start, but the likes of Seán O'Donoghue, Tim O'Mahony, Ciarán Joyce and Tommy O'Connell were powerful in an arm-wrestle on Noreside.Cork were short a host of regulars, including Shane Barrett, Seamus Harnedy, Diarmuid Healy, Mark Coleman, Declan Dalton and Rob Downey, but competition for places is clearly starting to intensify.They're off to Limerick on Saturday night but the chances are the rivals will collide in the league final and before their April Munster championship showdown at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Don't expect either side to give too much away next weekend at the Gaelic Grounds!Unfortunately, the footballers' trip to Derry ended in a disastrous 20-point hammering. It means Cork, Meath and Derry are now deadlocked in the Divison 1 promotion race but the Rebels' scoring difference is far worse.If they beat Kildare and Tyrone in the last two games they could still go up but it's all to play for again now. We look at what went wrong in Celtic. At least they have a warm-weather training camp to reset before they return to action at Páirc Uí Rinn.Thankfully, the ladies footballers kept their league final drive on track with a one-point win over Waterford. Katie Quirke again came up with the big scores, including the late winner, for Joe Carroll's unbeaten charges.We also look at the start of the local leagues and break down the major decisions taken at GAA Congress and how they'll impact Cork teams.Now in its fourth season, every week Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, Jack McKay, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

Gary Cully could write a book about what's happened since he last joined us. He'd have a chapter on the best win of his career and perhaps his worst defeat. We'd hear about the realisation that a drugs cheat cut him down in his prime, derailed his momentum and potentially cost him millions of euro. Eye surgery, getting engaged, becoming a dad, developing his businesses, making peace with his inner pain, starting the game of snakes and ladders a few rungs down, rediscovering his passion for boxing, moving up in weight, hustling behind the scenes… it's all part of The Rocky Road the Kildare man has travelled in recent times. As always, a compelling listen from the engaging Naas boxer who's determined to put his name up in lights again soon ahead of his 3Arena return to the ring on March 14.

Clare FM's Derrick Lynch was back to chat with Alan Morrissey on Friday's Morning Focus to look ahead to some sporting games that will be happening over the weekend. Games Previewed: National Hurling League Division 1B, Round 4: Kildare v Clare (Saturday, St. Conleth's Park Newbridge, 6.30pm) National Football League: Clare v Laois (Sunday, Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chíosóg, 2pm) Centra Camogie League Division 1B: Clare v Wexford (Saturday, Clareabbey, 2pm) LGFA National Football League Division 3: Clare v Laois (Sunday, Clarecastle Astro, 1pm)
After a week off, Galway return to LIDL Ladies National Football League action this Saturday (21st February 2026) when they host Armagh. The Tribeswomen sit in third following two wins from their opening three games. They beat Kildare 3-12 to 1-17 in Tuam Stadium two weeks ago. Armagh have suffered two defeats in their three outings, including last week's 2-8 to 1-9 reversal against Cork and are in sixth, just outside the relegation spots. That being said, Armagh were league champions in 2024 and runners-up 12 months ago. They beat Galway in their last meeting (0-8 to 0-6) in 2024. The girls in maroon last defeated the Orchard County back in 2017 when two late Mairead Seoighe goals gave them a 2-11 to 1-12 success in Tuam. Leading up to the game, Galway manager Daniel Moynihan has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly and agreed that two wins from three wasn't a bad start. == Throw-in at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe on Saturday is 4.15pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.
A former Clare hurling captain is warning that Clare must ensure their attitude is right against Kildare in the National Hurling League this weekend. Clare make the trip to St Conleth's Park in Newbridge to face last year's Joe McDonagh Cup winners on Saturday evening. Brian Lohan's men sit top of the Division 1B staNdings with a 100% record in the league to this point. Clare FM analyst Tommy Guilfoyle says they will have to be at their best to keep that record intact.
The tip-off that led the Garda to begin a major search for the bodies of Jo Jo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob is likely not new according to crime and security editor Conor Lally. The piece of land on the border of counties Wicklow and Kildare has been in the Garda's sights for many years but since the disappearance of the young women, missing since the 1990s, are now considered murders, ongoing reviews of the files bring new leads and new thinking on the investigation.News on Monday that gardaí had begun an extensive dig on the land was accompanied by mention of Dullard and Jacob leading to speculation that it had been determined that both young women were the victims of the same murderer.Not so, says Lally, who notes that gardaí suspect Jacob, who disappeared in broad daylight, was killed by convicted rapist Larry Murphy, while Dullard was killed by an unknown male who gave her a lift as she tried to get home.Lally analyses this new phase in the investigation.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Top 10 towns for work-life balance Arklow claimed the top spot as the best town in Ireland for striking the perfect work-life balance. With surprisingly affordable house prices outside the city, it offers a winning mix of excellent local amenities and good connectivity for hybrid working, plus plenty of green spaces and a scenic coastline to boost well-being. Here's a snapshot of the top 10. For the full ranking and more top 5 winners, see Ireland's best towns for work-life balance 2026.

House prices were based on the median house price in October 2025 (Residential Property Price Index). Top 5 affordable towns to live & work: Ballina, Longford, Letterkenny, Cavan and Mallow For families Ballina has taken the top spot as the best town for balancing work and family. To calculate the best town to work with a family, we summed index scores for house prices, crime rate, number of GP surgeries and primary schools. Top 5 towns for families to live & work: Ballina, Castlebar, Enniscorthy, Killarney and Longford For hybrid working Dublin was the best place for hybrid working; the city of Cork and areas of Kildare and north Dublin (Fingal*) also performed well.

This data was only available at the county and city levels. Top towns for broadband and mobile connectivity: Dublin, Cork, North Dublin and Kildare. For transport links: Cork, Galway, Dublin and Sligo. For health, fitness & well-being Galway came in tops for access to leisure facilities and green spaces, essential for achieving a good quality of life.

It meant that workers with families or caregiving responsibilities could seek flexible work options and a better quality of life. Property prices are often a crucial factor for homebuyers, but broadband and mobile connectivity, easy access to local amenities, and proximity to green spaces can have a huge impact when juggling work with family or other commitments. Switcher's research highlights several towns across Ireland that offer young professionals and working families a mix of affordability, accessibility, a superb quality of life, and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity for remote working. Our top performers spanned the country, with Ballina and Sligo on the scenic west coast, Cork in the south, Longford in the heart of Ireland and a cluster of coastal towns on the east coast.

Irish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly aware of the growing risk posed by AI-driven cyberattacks, though most are not using available and affordable defences, and many are now looking for practical, affordable ways to strengthen their digital defences, Vodafone Ireland said at the Small Firms Association's SFA Connect event in Naas, Co. Kildare. Addressing over 450 business leaders at the event, Lynsey Sweeney, Head of SME Sales Strategy at Vodafone Business, shared research showing that 94% of SMEs feel unprepared for AI-powered cyber threats, while 28% believe a single ransomware attack could seriously threaten their business. "SMEs understand the risks; what they need are solutions that are simple, effective and fit their reality," said Sweeney. "Cybersecurity doesn't have to be complex or costly. With the right support, small steps can make a big difference in protecting a business." Despite strong awareness of cyber risks, adoption of basic protections remains low. Only 21% of SMEs currently use multifactor authentication, while more than half store sensitive data without encryption, leaving many exposed to issues that can be addressed quickly and affordably. Sweeney said that while digital transformation can feel daunting for smaller organisations, progress is often achieved through practical improvements rather than large-scale change. "For SMEs, we fully understand that time and certainty matter," she said. "Technology should remove pressure, not add to it. Choosing the right tools, whether that's strengthening security or automating routine tasks, can free up time and help businesses focus on growth." "Digital transformation isn't about doing everything at once. The most successful SMEs focus on the right next step. Start small, build confidence and scale over time. Vodafone Business reports that Businesses that embrace digital tools can achieve up to 26% higher revenue growth – and that's a real competitive advantage." "This is where the right partner makes a difference," Sweeney added. "Measures like multifactor authentication, encrypted backups, regular updates and staff training are proven, accessible ways to reduce risk, and they don't require in-house IT teams." With over six in ten Irish businesses as customers, Vodafone Ireland is investing €100 million per year in its network to expand and enhance services nationwide, ensuring businesses have secure, resilient connectivity they can rely on. The company, which serves over 2.4 million customers and holds the largest share of Ireland's mobile market, continues to see solid growth across its small business mobile and business broadband customer bases. During her address, Sweeney outlined four foundations for digital efficiency for SMEs: automating everyday processes, building a secure digital foundation, using technology to deliver more personalised customer experiences, and empowering teams through upskilling. Vodafone Business continues to support Irish SMEs with practical connectivity and digital solutions designed to improve efficiency, strengthen security and support long-term growth. Over 2,000 people work with Vodafone Ireland across its Dublin headquarters and 80 retail stores nationwide. This year, Vodafone will move to its new headquarters on St Stephen's Green as the company marks 25 years in Ireland. The company has recently made significant investments in innovation as the first telco to launch Real Time Text, and through the recent trial of a new mission-critical communications service with Government.

Russell & Robert meet Barbara Dawson for a behind the scenes visit to Francis Bacon's Studio, installed in Dublin's iconic Hugh Lane Gallery. The gallery is currently closed to the public for major renovations so we thought it would be a great opportunity to bring the studio and galleries to life with this exclusive audio tour, while closed to public. A visit to Francis Bacon's Studio at Hugh Lane Gallery gives you a unique opportunity to experience the working process of one of the twentieth century's greatest artists.Born in Dublin in 1909, Bacon grew up in county Kildare. He left home at the age of sixteen and eventually settled in London where he established himself as one of the leading international artists of his generation. Bacon moved into 7 Reece Mews, London, in 1961 where he lived and worked until his death in 1992.In 1998, director Barbara Dawson secured the donation of Francis Bacon's studio from the artist's heir, John Edwards, and Brian Clarke, executor of the Estate of Francis Bacon. Her vision was to remove the entire studio including all of the items without exception, as well as the architectural features, and relocate the studio as it was, to the Hugh Lane Gallery.In the August of that year, as project manager, she assembled a team of conservators, curators, and archaeologists to carry out the move. The archaeologists made survey and elevation drawings of the small studio, mapping out the spaces and locations of all the objects, while the conservators prepared the works for travel and curators tagged and packed each of the items, including the dust. The walls, doors floor and ceiling were also removed.Follow @TheHughLane and visit: https://hughlane.ie/arts_artists/francis-bacons-studio/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
