In this week's episode - which is our last for 2 weeks (and for more mature listeners, not for little ears)... the lads are excited about being off on their holidays. Well, they're on a week off... PJ is working (doing a bit of acting) and Jim is confining himself to his castle - drawbridge up, moate full of guard hippos. This time they're (unsurprisingly) talking about the stuff you get up to on your time off, becoming a dad (VERY) late in life, the nightlife in Navan, the price of telly (and dodgy boxes), and being extra expressive for success!If you like what you hear here, tune into Radio Nova 100 for this pair of mad yolks: PJ Gallagher & Jim McCabe's radio show, "Morning Glory", every weekday from 6-10am.The IMRO Radio Award-winning show features news, sport, weather, traffic, competitions and craic every day, as well as the most seriously addictive music in town!

Dublin defender Daire Gray spoke to Will O'Callaghan ahead of their trip to Kildare in the All-Ireland Hurling Championship, and the impact Niall Ó Ceallacháin has had as manager.

In this week's Friday the 13th episode (once again designed for the more mature listener, and not for little ears)... it's 'that time of year' where PJ & Jim have to try to remember what good jokes got 'pumped through their hosepipe of hilarity' in the past year so they can decide what they'll submit as an entry for the radio awards. Also, in a listen back to the week that was on Morning Glory, they discuss Snoop Dogg's burger van, Father's Day presents, bad dad jokes, clever nicknames and whether they'd be fit to take over the institution that is Liveline!If you like what you hear here, tune into Radio Nova 100 for this pair of mad yolks: PJ Gallagher & Jim McCabe's radio show, "Morning Glory", every weekday from 6-10am.The IMRO Radio Award-winning show features news, sport, weather, traffic, competitions and craic every day, as well as the most seriously addictive music in town!

EasyGo, Ireland's leading EV charging network, has partnered with the Department of Transport to launch a first-of-its-kind national pilot scheme aimed at removing one of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle adoption in Ireland. The Shared Charging Initiative will address the challenge faced by many urban and suburban residents who lack access to off-street EV parking and, by extension, home charging. Through the scheme, homeowners can share their private EV chargers with neighbours and the wider public via the EasyGo platform - creating a shared, community-powered solution to charging accessibility that is both practical and accessible. The scheme will launch as a pilot in selected locations, with participation open to homeowners in Kilcock, Co. Kildare; Dingle, Co. Kerry; and the Dublin neighbourhoods of Finglas, Stoneybatter and Phibsborough. Those interested in participating in Shared Charging can apply through the website, with consideration being given to their property and location. If successful, participants are provided with an EasyGo EV charger free of charge and can then share access to their private EV chargers with neighbours and members of the public via the EasyGo platform, providing a practical solution in areas where off-street parking is limited or unavailable. The pilot will continue throughout 2025 and aims to gather valuable data to inform future EV policy and infrastructure planning. Shared charging models have shown promise internationally in helping reduce pressure on public networks, promoting sustainable transport, and strengthening local community ties. Ollie Chatten, CEO of EasyGo, said: "We are delighted to officially launch the Shared Charging Initiative. This scheme has the power to reshape how communities think about EV infrastructure, enabling people to participate directly in Ireland's low-emission future. It's a meaningful step toward inclusive, scalable charging access." Welcoming the rollout of the pilot scheme, Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien, Minister for the Transport, said: "This innovative pilot reflects how local action can support national ambition. By enabling homeowners to share access to EV chargers, the Shared Charging Scheme taps into the power of the community to close infrastructure gaps, accelerate EV adoption, and help achieve our climate goals. It's a practical, inclusive, and forward-thinking initiative that strengthens the resilience and accessibility of Ireland's charging network."

In March 2025, IMRO hosted an in-person panel discussion moderated by music journalist Zara Hedderman – featuring Bekah Molony (Celaviedmai, Negro Impacto), Conor Cusack (Morgana, Saint Sister), and Gavin Elsted (Silverbacks).In an ever-changing industry, artist managers continue to provide a vital role in developing emerging artists and helping them sustain their career. This talk shed light on the relationship between artists and management, uncovering how the two work together. What do managers look for in an emerging artist? How do they build a career strategy for the artists they represent? How do they protect the best interest of their artists? This talk presented vital information for artists considering working with a manager and how to develop their career in the music industry.Bekah Molony is the head of D07 Artists, a Dublin based artist management, bookings and live event agency that represents and works with some of Ireland's most exciting talent.

With an undergrad in Event Management, a Masters in Emerging Media and as a Keychange alumni, Bekah's successful music industry career also includes programming exciting projects for brands and sharing knowledge as an industry speaker as she continues to create opportunities for the current and future creatives of Ireland.With over 15 years of experience working in the music industry, Conor Cusack has held a variety of roles across the independent sectors in Dublin, Berlin, and London. He brings his experience in music retail, recorded music, live, event production, product management, charity, and arts consultancy to his long standing career as an artist manager. Conor has managed artists professionally for over 10 years, both independently and as part of London based management firm ie:music.In 2023, he set up his own business, No Bother, a boutique Artist Management & Music Consultancy business.

Kildare's Paul Dolan spoke to Will O'Callaghan about their remarkable back-to-back promotions from the Christy Ring to the Leinster Championship, their superb performance against Laois in the McDonagh Cup final, and hosting Dublin in the All-Ireland Preliminary Quarter-Finals at a packed St Conleth's Park this weekend.

Sinead spent the weekend at Croke Park, watching her beloved Kildare hurlers complete a stunning rise to win the Joe McDonagh Cup, and earn promotion to compete among Leinster's elite in the Liam McCarthy Cup next year. On this week's pod, we discuss how Kildare completed their rise, and then discuss the GAA's biggest single failing of their history: the failure to grow hurling across the country. We discuss why hurling is a minority sport, look at its biggest single impediment - Gaelic football - and explain what the GAA have got wrong, and what they are now trying to do to make it right. Get in touch - email gavincooney@the42.ie and sinead@thejournal.ie Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All-Ireland winners Paul Murphy and James 'Liam' Skehill joined Will O'Callaghan on this weekend's edition of The Hurling Pod to break down a drama-filled Munster final, a far less dramatic Leinster decider, and Kildare securing back-to-back promotions by winning the McDonagh Cup.

No one gave them much of a chance beforehand but Cork defied the odds and completed a stunning turnaround from a 16-point beating 20 days earlier to land the Munster title. The majority of Rebels were travelling to Shannonside more in hope than expectation but Pat Ryan had promised his side would make it worth their while with a battling performance and that carried them all the way to a first provincial crown since 2018. We look back on the game itself and the memorable occasion at TUS Gaelic Grounds where both sets of supporters and a ferocious contest led to an electric atmosphere. It was a rollercoaster of emotion across the near 100-minute war before penalties decided it. Limerick had no shortage of regrets, which sums up what an incredible team they've been, going for seven in a row and still leaving everything on the field. Cork hurled outstandingly well in normal time where their sloppy shooting meant it finished level. Then Limerick missed more chances before a Darragh Fitzgibbon deep into added time forced a shootout. We break down the key areas where Cork turned the tide from their humiliating loss in the group game. Subs made a critical impact, with Conor Lehane and Shane Kingston deservedly taking all the plaudits. Limerick haven't gone away of course. They'll be raging favourites to bounce back and beat Dublin or Kildare, and then Kilkenny, to reach the All-Ireland final. Cork have to look after their own house with a month-gap before their semi-final in Croke, most likely against a Tipperary side who feel they owe their rivals. For now, we can enjoy the beautiful feeling of being Munster champs. We also preview Cork's knockout football clash with Roscommon, a 50-50 match where John Cleary's side will be hoping to bring the form they showed against Kerry, rather than in a loss to Meath. Plus a round-up of the club football action and the minors' All-Ireland semi-final exit at the hands of Tyrone. Now in its third season, every week Éamonn Murphy will be joined by The Echo team including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brian Dowling on Managing the Kildare Hurlers on CRKC 06.06.2025

The only shop in the village of Johnstown in Kildare has announced it's to close its doors this week. To discuss this Michael O'Donovan, President of the Vintner's Federation of Ireland, Elaine Houlihan, former President of Macra na Feirme, Seamus Boland from Irish Rural Link & John Cooke visited Clare village Feakle to speak to local residents.

First on Scene, Last to Heal: Emergency Workers and Fatal Collisions goes behind the scenes with the men and women of An Garda Síochána, the National Ambulance Service and the fire service as they share stories about fatal collisions on Ireland's roads, and how that impacts their way of thinking. Produced and presented by Alex Rowley, a young journalism student from Wicklow and IMRO-nominated broadcaster, it's inspired by the contrasting ways different members of the emergency services deal with their trauma. Some choose to open up to friends, while for others, it's as if nothing bothers them.Due to a spike in road deaths in recent years, the topic has been high up in the news agenda, and rightly so, but every bank holiday we hear appeals from high-ranking Gardaí, Government Ministers and the RSA. Rarely, do we hear from those who actually deal with these collisions and see the devastation firsthand.In the documentary, Paramedics Clodagh Murphy and Paul Malone, based in Waterford, tell us about the trends they see in responding to collisions and why they're always keeping their own family members in the back of their mind. The documentary also goes on patrol with Gardaí Leanne McCarthy and Ken Driscoll of the Roads Policing Unit in Abbeyfeale, Co. Limerick. Ken bravely opens up about how it feels to break the news of a death to a family, comparing it to handing someone an “explosive device”.We also speak with Sub-Officer Stephen Connolly from Monasterevin Fire Brigade in Co. Kildare, who speaks of the challenges faced by on-call emergency workers, who service their local community first and foremost. All emergency workers in the documentary have pleaded with people to put down their mobile phones, put on their seatbelts, follow speed limits, and not take drugs or alcohol when using the roads this Bank Holiday Weekend.Analysis from Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Malie Coyne, contextualises the issue, and further hammers home the importance of looking out for our frontline workers.

Happy Bank Holiday weekend everybody!

All-Ireland winners James Skehill and Paul Murphy joined Will O'Callaghan to review the last round of group games in the Munster and Leinster Hurling Championships. Cork bounced back from their Limerick loss to defeat Waterford and reach a first Munster final since 2018, while the Deise's miserable round-robin record continued. Galway's first away Championship victory at Dublin saw them set up. a Leinster decider with Kilkenny, but how confident is Skehill about them beating the Cats?Antrim dropped to the McDonagh Cup, they'll be replaced by either Laois or Kildare in next year's Leinster Championship.

It's hoped the current 27 week average waiting time for a driving test in Clare will soon be significantly slashed. The Road Safety Authority has published a national action plan to reduce waiting lists that will see driving tests conducted in evenings, on weekends and even bank holidays. New centres will also be opened in Dublin, Kildare and Louth to ease the backlog, with the RSA setting the goal that no motorist will wait longer than 10 weeks for a test after September this year. Chris Curran from the Chris Curran Driving School in Ennis believes it could work.

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Just because you're successful doesn't mean everyone likes you.  In fact, success can often draw criticisms that might not be given to other performers.  In Australia, we call that the “Tall Poppy Syndrome”, where people look for reasons to bring successful people down! We look at some criticisms (not by us - mainly!), of highly successful artists and try to find a reason for them.    This month seems to have a host of rock star deaths!  In Knockin' on Heaven's Door, we mourn the passing of David Lynn Thomas of post-punk group Pere Ubu; Drew Zingg, an American blues and soul guitarist, best known for work with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs; Joey Molland from Badfinger, and Richard Chamberlain, of Dr Kildare, Shōgun & The Thorn Birds.   Our “Album You Must Hear before You Die” is Bob Marley and the Wailers' “Catch a Fire”, a landmark album that established reggae as a musical force, influencing such artists as The Clash, The Police, UB40 and Eric Clapton.  Enjoy!! References:  “Tall Poppy Syndrome”, Morrissey, “We Hate it When our Friends Become Successful”, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, YouTube, “Classic Album Review”, Baz, Barry Robinson, “The 10 Worst Bands in the World”, The Doors, Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, Rob Younger, Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek, Doors' Miami concert – January 1969, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, “Hell Freezes Over”, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Guns'n'Roses, Axl Rose, Slash, Motley Crue, Shakespeare - “thankless child”, U2, Achtung Baby, “With or Without You”, Adam Clayton's private parts, “Days of Innocence”, REM, Coldplay, “music for estate agents”, Oasis, Gallagher brothers, Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, “The Rest is History”, Frank Zappa, “Billy the Mountain”, “Don't You Eat the Yellow Snow”, PMRC – Parents Moral Research Centre, Tipper Gore, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl  Our email: MickandthePhatman@Gmail.com  Playlist – The music we talked about in this episode  Homer singing Kiss  Led Zeppelin's light fingers  Classic Album Reviews:  The Ten Worst Bands Ever

Dr. Kildare 50-02-08  02 Marjorie Northrup

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez una mujer llamada Brigida de Kildare nacida en el siglo V en irlanda en el reino de Leinster Su padre era un rey irlandés y su madre una esclava cristiana. Desde joven Brigida mostro una gran devoción religioas y una gran inclinación para ayudar a los necesitados. Cuando fue adulta Brigida decidio consagra su vida a la religión y debido a esto decidio construir un convento en la región de Leinster. En aquel tiempo el rey de Leinster era un hombre conocido por su avaricia y por su paganismo. Pero Brigida sabía que el era el dueño de todos los terrenos que ella podría utilizar para la construcción de su convento. Decidida se presento ante el rey de Leinster y con toda calma le pidió que le donara un terreno. El rey que no era muy afecto a la religión simplemente se negó a la petición y ordeno que retiraran a la mujer de su vista. Cierto día, la Santa tuvo una idea para que este rey escarmentara por su codicia, así que de nuevo  se dirigió al rey solicitándole que le concediera solamente  la tierra que pudiera cubrir su capa. A pesar de sus recelos, el rey cansado de la petición y solamente para zafarse definitivamente de Brigida acepto que le daría el área que la capa de la santa cubriera.La santa pues cito al rey a lo alto de una pequeña colina en la planicie de Curragh en el condado de Kildare. Allí apareció el rey un poco curioso ya que sabía que con el área que ocupara una capa nunca se podría construir un convento.  Allí frente al rey Brigida se quito su capa y la entrego a cuatro asistentes que llevaba consigo. Cada una de las asistentes tomo una punta de la capa y a la orden de Brigida comenzaron a jalar y a caminar en cada una de los puntos cardinales, a medida que las asistentes caminaban la prenda de la que estaba hecha la capa se iba extendiendo y extendiendo aumentando su área con cada minuto que pasaba. El rey asombrado veía como la pequeña capa iba aumentando su tamaño de forma inesperado y veía como otras mujeres se unian a la otras ayudando a tirar más y más la tela de la capa. Allí en medio de la planicie de Curragh la sombra creada por la capa cubria ya casi la mitad del área de aquel amplio terreno y el rey no comprendía como su promesa se convertia en una pesadilla. El rey consternado preguntó a la que luego seria  Santa Brígida qué estaba ocu­rriendo. La Santa le dirigió una de sus miradas más duras y le contestó que estaba cubriendo con su capa todo su territorio, para cas­tigarle por su inmensa mezquindad. El rey sobresaltado se dio cuenta de que el enojo de la Santa podía ser muy peligroso, por lo que accedió a darle una parcela de terreno y a ser más generoso en el futuro.Santa Brígida asintió no sin antes advertirle que si en alguna ocasión volvía a sus antiguos hábitos, le recordaría las virtudes elásticas de su capa.Dicen que fue tanto el impacto que tuvo aquel milagro sobre la vida del rey que este no solo dono el terreno sino que se convirtió al catolicismo.  Y así después de una vida de ayuda a los damnificados Brigida fundo su propio convento desde donde se dice que curaba a los enfermos y llevo a irlanda el catolicismo y se convirtió en santa en el siglo VII y se convirtió en su santa patrona.

Following two intense days of competition in the CanSat Ireland National Finals, a team of students from Confey Community College, Kildare, has today clinched the coveted national title. The CanSat Ireland competition is an ESERO Ireland collaboration, co-funded by the European Space Agency and Research Ireland and coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory. The victory marks the end of a campaign that began in September 2024. All participants in this year's competition have displayed incredible technological prowess, with judges lauding the expansive expertise on display from the teams of young scientists. A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite developed in the size and shape of a soda can. A European Space Agency initiative, the competition fosters an interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) careers by offering students a hands-on experience of a space-themed project. The multidisciplinary nature of the project ensures students are exposed to industry standards in a broad array of potential career paths. In recent months, regional competitions have taken place across Ireland, in partnership with the Technological Universities in Dublin, Athlone, Limerick, Tralee, and Cork. Regional winners gathered in Emo Court, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, on Thursday 1st May, and launched their mini-satellites in rockets to a height of over 350 metres. On Friday 2nd May, these national finalists presented their analysis, recordings and flight patterns to the judging panel consisting of experts from a range of STEM fields. Congratulating Confey Community College, Alan Giltinan, project coordinator for CanSat Ireland said: "Confey College can't be praised enough for this achievement. Winning the National Final of the CanSat competition is no small feat. Year on year, the STEM literacy of the participating students seems to increase as rapidly as the technology they're working with. The technical competency displayed by teams all over the country continues to surpass the expectations of the judges. These students represent Ireland's STEM future, and I think it's safe to say we're in very good hands! ." The students from Confey have been invited to attend the celebratory event, 'Space Engineer for a Day', at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The Netherlands. The students will have the opportunity to explore ESTEC facilities and laboratories, network with space experts, and present their work to a panel of experts. The CanSat competition will re-open in September 2025. Students or teachers interested in competing in the next iteration of the project are encouraged to visit the CanSat project page at esero.ie.

Medical dramas on television have been around pretty much since the advent of the picture tube. There was “Dr. Kildare” in the 60's. “Marcus Welby, MD” in the 70's, “St. Elsewhere” was in the 80's… But starting in the 90's there was one team of diligent doctors that stitched their way to critical acclaim and 23 emmy awards. It also propelled its actors to true stardom. There was even a future Batman hidden in the scrubs.This is Still Here Hollywood. I'm Steve Kmetko.
