Hörerfrage des Monats: Wo kaufst du in Irland eigentlich ein?Wo kauft man in Irland Lebensmittel und Dinge für den täglichen Bedarf? Welche Supermärkte gibt es und worin unterscheiden sie sich?In dieser Hörerfrage des Monats geht es um die verschiedenen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Irland. Dabei werfen wir einen Blick auf bekannte Ketten wie Aldi, Lidl und Tesco, aber auch auf den irischen Supermarkt SuperValu.Außerdem erfahren wir, warum Aldi für viele alltägliche Einkäufe die erste Wahl ist, was für Obst, Gemüse und die Backtheke von Lidl spricht und wann sich ein Besuch bei SuperValu oder Boots lohnt.

The Climate Change Advisory Council has released a statement urging the Government to stop "treating extreme events" such as storms and floods "as one-off emergencies".

Andre Archimbaud spent his life carrying three passports worth of heritage: a French surname, an Italian-American upbringing, and, buried a generation or two back, an Irish line he didn't know existed until a chance conversation set him straight. This episode, recorded at Ryan's Daughter on the Upper East Side, traces how Archimbaud built an identity by choice rather than inheritance.It started years earlier at a bar in Washington Heights, where a stranger, several drinks in, turned to him and said, "You are what your mother is," invoking a mitochondrial logic Archimbaud had never considered. Two weeks of digging into his maternal line turned up a great-grandfather from Sligo and a great-great-grandmother born in Dublin. From there, U2, a 1997 road trip through Killarney, and a growing engagement with Irish radio and Irish Twitter did the rest.Archimbaud's other education came from his father, a man who rose from a cramped East Orange apartment to sit on the US Olympic Committee, and who taught his son to network simply by being watched. "It imprinted in me the sort of how to do this," Archimbaud says, a skill that now underwrites Clearly Now Media, the digital agency he launched after nearly two decades in paid search and social advertising.Even the agency's name has an Irish thread: a Hothouse Flowers cover of "I Can See Clearly Now," framed on his living room wall, that his girlfriend pointed to when he needed a name.Archimbaud closes on a quieter note: two days alone on Inchydoney Beach in West Cork, sun and rain and a double rainbow, that stayed with him through a season of change.LINKSANDRE ARCHIMBAUDClearly Now Media LinkedInPodcastBlogIRISH STEW LINKSWebsite Home PageFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralRYAN'S DAUGHTERWebsiteEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 25; Total Episode Count: 166Send us Fan Mail

In dieser Episode schauen wir uns an, warum Orte wie Sligo oder Kilkenny trotz vergleichsweise kleiner Einwohnerzahlen eine erstaunlich große regionale Bedeutung haben. Welche Rolle spielen Bevölkerungsdichte, Einzugsgebiete, Verwaltung, Einzelhandel, Bildung, Kultur und Verkehr – und warum lassen sich irische und deutsche Städte deshalb oft nur schwer anhand ihrer Einwohnerzahl vergleichen?Dabei geht es auch um die Frage, warum sich Sligo mit gut 20.000 Einwohnern in mancher Hinsicht eher mit einer deutlich größeren deutschen Mittelstadt vergleichen lässt – und weshalb sich dieser Effekt besonders in ländlicheren Teilen Irlands zeigt.Themen der EpisodeWarum 20.000 Einwohner in Irland nicht unbedingt dasselbe bedeuten wie 20.000 Einwohner in DeutschlandSligo als regionales Zentrum im Nordwesten IrlandsKilkenny zwischen Verwaltung, Kultur, Tourismus und SportVergleich mit Städten wie Landshut, Rosenheim oder BurghausenBevölkerungsdichte in Irland und DeutschlandWarum größere Einzugsgebiete die Bedeutung kleiner Städte verändernWie sich Aufgaben und Angebote in Deutschland auf mehrere Städte verteilenWarum irische Städte dadurch oft „größer“ wirken, als ihre Einwohnerzahl vermuten lässtQuellen & weiterführende LinksCentral Statistics Office Ireland – Census 2022Bevölkerungszahlen und regionale Daten zu irischen Städten und Countieshttps://www.cso.ie/CSO – Census of Population 2022: Population Distribution and Movementshttps://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cpp1/censusofpopulation2022profile1-populationdistributionandmovements/Weitere Informationen zu den genannten Städten und ihren regionalen Funktionen finden sich außerdem auf den Webseiten der jeweiligen Local Authorities und regionalen Einrichtungen.Unterstützt den PodcastWenn euch A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland gefällt und ihr das Projekt unterstützen möchtet, könnt ihr mir gerne einen virtuellen Kaffee spendieren:https://buymeacoffee.com/abavarian_irelandMehr vom Podcast & KontaktFolgt A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland auch hier: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/abavarianstrandedinirelandFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/abavarianstrandedinirelandWhatsApp-Kanal:https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaVcgvgFnSzHRcuurV1VFragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschläge könnt ihr jederzeit schicken an:abavarianstrandedinireland@gmail.com

Lebenshaltungskosten 2026: Irland vs. Deutschland – was bleibt wirklich übrig?Irland gilt als eines der teuersten Länder Europas – gleichzeitig sind aber auch die Einkommen deutlich höher als in Deutschland. Doch was bedeutet das tatsächlich für den Alltag? Ist das Leben auf der grünen Insel wirklich so viel teurer, wenn man nicht nur auf Preise, sondern auch auf das verfügbare Einkommen schaut?In dieser Folge nehme ich die Lebenshaltungskosten in Irland und Deutschland 2026 genauer unter die Lupe. Anders als bei unserem Vergleich aus dem Jahr 2022 betrachten wir diesmal keinen einfachen Warenkorb, sondern einen modellierten Zwei-Personen-Haushalt mit zwei Einkommen und ohne Kinder.Neben dem landesweiten Vergleich schauen wir außerdem auf Dublin und München sowie Waterford und Mönchengladbach. Dabei zeigt sich: Die absoluten Kosten unterscheiden sich teilweise erheblich – beim Anteil des Einkommens, der am Monatsende übrig bleibt, liegen Irland und Deutschland jedoch überraschend nah beieinander.Außerdem geht es um:

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with retired lawyer and award-winning author of 10 books, Darlene Madott about her new book, Closing Ceremonies and Dying Times, published by Guernica Editions, September 1, 2026 Closing Ceremonies is a collection of linked love stories that explores the aftermath of love. Who among us has not suffered the after-shocks? The sorrowing souls that inhabit these tales struggle at various stages of the grief cycle: from denial and paralysis to anger and desire for revenge; to bargaining and, ultimately, for some characters and for others incompletely, acceptance and reconciliation. Some of the stories handle the love quandary comedically—for example, the triptych of stories about Francesca and Concetta, who embrace a sisterly friendship born of betrayal. Others are more elegiac, such as the story of Thor and Lovise: unsanctioned lovers who get to orbit about each other, however briefly. “Appropriation” is a coming-of-age story where the longed-for first kiss is obtained, but not in the way the kiss was desired. What links these stories? Human yearning to move out of love away from an obsessive attachment, to a selfless state where genuine love becomes possible again. About the author:  Darlene Madott is an award-winning author of 10 books, including Winners and Losers, Stations of the Heart, and Making Olives and Other Family Secrets. Winners and Losers (her 9th book) grew out of her legal practice of over 3 decades, and was named The Miramichi Readers Best of 2023. She has twice won the Bressani Literary Award and was shortlisted for the Vanderbilt-sponsored Carter V. Cooper EXILE editions award three times, and for the inaugural Nona Heaslip Best Canadian Short Stories Award. Widely anthologized, she has participated in international literary conferences, most recently as an invited plenary-panel speaker on Alice Munro for the International Conference of the Short Story in English, 2025, Killarney, Ireland. She has been translated into Italian and published by the prestigious Les Flâneurs Edizioni, Italy. Her 10th book, Closing Ceremonies, now includes Dying Times. Learn more about your ad choices.

Authorities in Jordan are set to decide whether to release the person of interest in the Jamey Carney murder case in the coming hours. That’s according to Ralph Riegel, southern correspondent with the Irish Independent.

The jury in an inquest into the death of a 14-year-old boy, killed when the car he was driving struck a tree, has returned a verdict of accidental death. Thomas Healy of the Gap of Dunloe, Beaufort, died on the Ross Road, Killarney on July 7th, 2021. Radio Kerry journalist Breda Forrest attended yesterday’s inquest in Tralee.

The body of Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old mother-of-one, was found by her teenage daughter at their home in Killarney last week. The American woman had suffered head injuries and a postmortem confirmed she had died a violent death by suffocation. Gardai traced her partner, Ahmed Al Saqar's, movements immediately after the killing and found that he left Ireland hours after she was killed, flying to Turkey having taken the night bus from Kerry. He then travelled on to Jordan where he was arrested and is in custody. It is thought the 28-year-old had been in Ireland for two years and had sought asylum before fleeing back to Jordan after the murder. The investigation is a full-scale murder inquiry. Gardaí did not seek Al Saqar's arrest in his home country, so why was he detained? How long can he be held by Jordanian authorities before he must be released? Ireland and Jordan do not have an extradition treaty so how can Al Saqar be brought back to Ireland? And when?Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains the complex road ahead in this investigation. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast.

Paul Reynolds, Crime Correspondent on the latest on the detention in Jordan of a person of interest into the death of Jamey Carney in Killarney.

Ralph Reigel, Irish Independent Southern Correspondent, with the latest on the investigation into the death of Jamey Carney in Killarney.

The boyfriend of murdered American mother-of-one Jamey Carney has been detained in Jordan, the Irish Independent understands. Ahmad al-Saqar is a person of interest to the garda investigation into the murder of Ms Carney. The dramatic development came as gardai have made rapid progress in their murder probe with significant forensic, CCTV and witness evidence obtained. Sources indicated that the 28 year old man has been detained in Jordan over the past 48 hours. Ireland does not have an extradition treaty with Jordan and no Irish arrest warrant has been issued in respect of the Killarney murder as yet. The detention was made by Jordan's Public Security Directorate. The whereabouts of Ahmad Al-Samar, had been unknown. He is “a person of interest” for gardaí as he spent time with Ms Carney between July 4-6. Gardai now believe the Jordanian was with Ms Carney on Monday evening, the night she was fatally assaulted.

Laura Grantham replied to my email about 'How do you celebrate Celtic culture through music?'. She wrote: "I practice my Irish by listening to Celtic Music as gaeilge at least once a week" Kent Hansen emailed: "Dear Marc and Todd,, I've been listening to the Irish and Celtic music podcast for years now using Podbean as my pod catcher but every once and a while it doesn't seem to get the current show, right now the most recent one they have is April 2nd. I realize that there's other ways to listen to the podcast but I'm also trying to listen to every old one I can and I still have a couple of hundred to go through and I'd hate to start over. Not sure how any of that works, but in the very least I thought you should know." And finally, just after our July 4th celebrations… Patrick VanHorn emailed: "Keep speaking up for America. Hi Mark, I've been a listener for years, albeit always for free. But today, after listening to episode 749  -  Celtic Protest Songs  -  I knew I had to finally become a paid subscriber. Thank you for introducing me to new Celtic performers. And thank you for speaking up for America. Slainte!"
