The Hard Shoulder is looking back on 2025's biggest moments in the news, and who were at the heart of it.We're going back to May, when a garment caused quite the stir…Controversy erupted when an inter-county camogie match between Dublin and Kilkenny wasn't allowed to go-ahead because some of the players took to the field wearing shorts, and not the traditional skorts.The Camogie Association, in the end, voted overwhelmingly to allow players to wear either shorts or skorts, but not before massive public debate.Former Sports Broadcaster and now Fine Gael Senator Evanne Ní Chuilin was vocal about this at the time, and joins Ciara Doherty to discuss.

Like a whole generation of young Irish men, John Mackey emigrated to the UK in the 1950s in search of work.At 87 and living alone in north London, the Kilkenny man who never married was sociable, charming and always dapper in his trilby hat. He was beloved by his nieces and nephews.On May 6th he headed to his local supermarket for some shopping and, as he'd increasingly stopped cooking for himself, a takeaway of chips and sausages.On his way home he was set upon by Peter Augustine (59) who stole his shopping and food, and having beaten the frail man, left him for dead.Augustine's two-week trial ended last week in the Old Bailey with a guilty verdict. He will be sentenced on November 28th.For Irish Times London correspondent Mark Paul, Mackey's murder had a particularly poignancy. He was one of a dwindling number of 1950s emigrants who left a very different Ireland to make their home in London.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast.

Hallo zusammen, auch heute gibt es neues von der Grünen Insel - viele die sich mit dem Umzug nach Irland näher befassen, stellen schnell erschrocken fest wie schwierig in weiten Teilen des Landes das Thema Wohnraum ist - vergleichsweise teuer mit Mitteleuropa und die Verfügbarkeit in weiten Teilen des Landes ist die Verügbarkeitssituation eher ausbaufähig. Da landet man oft schnell beim Punkt WG-Leben - vor allem für die die ungebunden sind kommt dann schnell der Gedanke auf "warum nicht aus der Not eine Tugend machen" ? Doch wie ist das eigentlich mit dem Thema WG-Leben in Irland ? Die Themen lauten dabei im Detail: Hintergrund des Themas Wie verbreitet ist es wirklich ? Welche Klientele wohnen in Shared apartments / houses ? Vermieterperspektive - bis zu 14.000 EUR pro Jahr Steuerfrei Angebots und Preislage Wie läuft es ab ?

There was a time when DJ Carey didn't need a surname. The Kilkenny hurling legend, famed for his dazzling skill and easy charm, was one of Ireland's most beloved sportsmen. But behind the glory, rumours swirled whispers that would one day reveal a shocking truth. Two decades after his glory days, Carey stands accused of faking cancer to con money from friends and fans who once idolised him. Journalist Eimear Ní Bhraonáin spoke with Alan Morrissey about the rise and fall of former Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey. Photo (c) Irish Academic Press

On episode 195 I am delighted to be joined by Caldwell University guard Lucy Coogan. An underage star in Ireland Lucy worked on her game for close to 10,000 hours across sports halls in Kilkenny to get a chance at playing college basketball in the United States. However it nearly didn't happen. She would spend hours emailing coaches from her sitting room in Kilkenny and working on her game. Former Irish international and mentor Kieran Quinn put Lucy in touch with a division 2 coach at Caldwell University coach Christie Conforti where Lucy accepted a scholarship. Since then she has flourished as starting her senior season she's already in the record books at Caldwell, recorded over 1,000 points, regarded as one of the top players in her conference where she ranked top 5 in scoring and rebounds last season, she awarded conference honours and had division 1 interest. However she has remained loyal to the coach and program who gave her a chance when nobody else did.Her basketball journey is a lesson in resilience, hard work, and never giving up on your dream.

"Hammer + Echo" Getting their start in the early '80s, the Kilkenny Cats were one of the most fascinating bands at a time when there were a lot of fascinating bands around. Formed by the North Carolina born Tom Cheek, who had relocated to Athens, Georgia for college, the Kilkenny Cats played a dark and moody blend of post-punk and psychedelia that still, after all these years, feels decidedly timeless. Here's what I mean by that--sometimes when you listen to a band you can hear the years they existed. We won't name. names, but you know what I mean--however, when it comes to the Kilkenny Cats, their music was so singular, they elude the timeline. Although their fellow city dwelling comrades ranged from REM to Pylon to Love Tractor, they were their own thing. Alive with jangling guitars, prowling basslines, foreboding drums and sonorous vocals, the Kilkenny Cats' music was awash in mystery and maybe that's why all these years later, they still sound as pressingly relevant as ever. They were a beloved live act, they had a deal with Twin/Tone, played shows with REM and Husker Du and then? Well, then decades of silence. Why? Well, that's what we're here to figure out and Tom Cheek walks us through it all. Spoiler alert: The 'Cats are back and more music in addition to the wonderful expanded reissue of 1988's Hammer + Echo, will be coming. I'll let him explain. www.propellorsoundrecordings.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

On Monday afternoon, in a packed courtroom at Dublin's Circuit Criminal Court, former Kilkenny hurler DJ Carey was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for fraud. In July, the disgraced sportsman pleaded guilty to ten counts of deception involving thirteen individuals. It's a stunning fall from grace for the Kilkenny man, who was once the most celebrated hurler in the country. For years, Carey spun a web of lies, convincing friends, acquaintances, and even strangers that he was battling terminal cancer and needed large sums of money for life-saving treatment. At times, his stories were meticulously crafted, rich in detail. Sometimes they were just spur of the moment pleas for cash. In today's episode journalist and author of The Dodger, Eimear Ní Bhraonáin maps out Carey's decade long deception and explains how he got away with his crimes for so long.The Dodger: DJ Carey and the Great Betrayal published by Merrion Press is out now.

Trojan Track, BackAware and Slíglas have been named as Munster regional winners at this year's InterTradeIreland Seedcorn Investor Readiness Competition. The three categories included Business-to-Business, Business-to-Consumer and Deep Tech. Trojan Track won in the B2B category, BackAware won in the B2C category, while Slíglas won in the Deep Tech category. Each company received €50,000 and will advance to the All-Island final in Dublin on November 13th. The InterTradeIreland Seedcorn Investor Readiness Competition is the largest business competition of its kind on the island of Ireland, offering a total prize fund of €800,000 to promising start-ups and early-stage businesses. The Seedcorn competition offers start-up businesses the chance to win big without giving away an equity stake. B2B Category Trojan Track, based at the National Equine Innovation Centre at the Irish National Stud in Kildare, was founded in December 2021 by biomedical engineer Stephen O'Dwyer. Trojan Track provides an accessible, non-invasive way to monitor a horse's movement, without disrupting their routine or relying on expensive, uncomfortable wearable tech. The AI-driven platform delivers objective, science-backed insights into a horse's biomechanics. Whether the aim is to enhance performance, reduce the risk of injury, or support recovery, TrojanTrack gives the data required to make smarter decisions. Built on innovation, tested in real-world environments, and designed with the welfare of the horse at its core, TrojanTrack is shaping the future of equine care. Stephen O'Dwyer, Founder and CEO of Trojan Track, said: "Seedcorn has been a brilliant experience for us as a startup. It's validation that TrojanTrack isn't just a great product, but a scalable SaaS business with global potential. The feedback from judges and mentors has been invaluable as we prepare for our next funding round." B2C Category Meanwhile, BackAware, who are based in Kilkenny, won in the B2C category. The BackAware Belt is a wearable technology that gives instant feedback on your back position, allowing for better posture and lifting technique. Founder Eoin Everard's idea came about after he saw people exercise in the gym in a way that was going to cause a lot of problems. Eoin Everard, Founder and CEO of BackAware, said: "I am delighted to win in the B2C category in the Seedcorn Connacht and Leinster finals. I'm really looking forward to the national finals in Dublin next month. Thanks to InterTradeIreland for all of their support to date. Entering Seedcorn has been hugely valuable, and I feel our messaging for pitching to investors is now much clearer now. We received great feedback each step of the way to improve our investor readiness. The money from the regional competition will allow us to complete the development of our product, making us more attractive to investors in 2026." Deep Tech Category Slíglas was founded in 2024 by Paul McGoldrick and Sadhbh McCarrick and is based in Sligo. Slíglas transforms residual biomass into biochar for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). This is done by heating woody residues to create a stable form of carbon that can be sequestered in soil. Put another way, Slíglas is the reverse of fossil fuel extraction, instead returning carbon to the earth. Slíglas sells removals to companies looking to offset hard-to-abate emissions as part of their wider net-zero strategy. Paul McGoldrick, CEO of Slíglas, said: "We are delighted that Slíglas have won in the Seedcorn regional finals. Slíglas's USP encompasses both tech and market. The company is developing streamlined pyrolysis reactors optimised for carbon dioxide removal. Ireland is a massive untapped opportunity, with abundant residues suitable for conversion to biochar and a large agriculture sector that can benefit from biochar application to boost soil health." All companies emerged victorious from a group of six innovative start-ups and early-stage businesses representing Connacht and Leinster. T...
