BUILDINGS BEO is a property show with a difference: it's not only about the renovation of heritage buildings all around the country, but also about the people and the communities who bring these buildings to life. In this 6-part series, presenter Carrie Crowley takes a closer look at six inspiring projects across Ireland, where derelict architectural legacies are being preserved and transformed into vital community spaces. With over 166,000 vacant buildings in Ireland today, BUILDINGS BEO sheds light on the urgent need for renewal of abandoned spaces. With projects ranging from historical mills to old schoolhouses, each episode follows the journey of a different restoration, showcasing the trials, tribulations and triumphs that come with preserving Ireland's architectural heritage. Buildings Beo renovating old Irish buildings Some of the remarkable restorations include the transformation of the historic Hope Castle Gate Lodge into a thriving community library in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, the revival of a railway building into a digital hub and youth centre in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, and the redevelopment of a fire-ravaged cinema into a state-of-the-art local theatre in Cork's market town of Macroom. Audiences will be wowed as each episode culminates in a final reveal, as all the hard work comes together and the building is brought back to life. Throughout the series, Carrie meets with the builders, architects, and communities driving these restoration projects, offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the transformation process. Through compelling storytelling and stunning visuals, "Buildings Beo" celebrates Ireland's rich cultural and architectural heritage, demonstrating how it takes a village to make a Building BEO. Produced by New Departures Media. Buildings Beo - 1 Hope Castle Gate Lodge (Castleblayney, Monaghan) TG4 Wednesday 19/11 8.30pm First up for Carrie is a visit to the historic town of Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, which takes its name from Blayney Castle, once the focal point of the area. Renamed 'Hope Castle' in the 1850s, the castle's gate lodge fell into disrepair with the passage of time. In this episode, Carrie will follow along as the local townspeople come together to reimagine the space. She'll watch first-hand as the forgotten lodge, situated off the historic market square and by the picturesque public park surrounding Loch Muckno, is reimagined as a state-of-the-art library beloved by residents of all ages. Buildings Beo - 2 Ballinamore Junction (Leitrim) TG4 Wednesday 26/11 8.30pm Carrie heads to the idyllic town of Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim, where she falls in love with the town's old railway station, which has fallen into disuse and dereliction. She'll learn of how Ballinamore Community Council devised an exciting plan to revitalise the area by transforming the stunning red-brick junction house into a dynamic multi-purpose hub: the beating heart of the town. From conception to completion, she'll meet a colourful cast of characters who are all united in their mission to breathe new life into the junction house. Buildings Beo - 3 Mount Congreve (Waterford) TG4 Wednesday 3/12 8.30pm In this episode, Carrie returns to her home county of Waterford, where she explores the historic Mount Congreve estate. Carrie delves into the legacy of Ambrose Congreve, a passionate gardener who entrusted Mt Congreve to the Irish state when he died in 2011 aged 104. Carrie unveils the ambitious plans for the estate's restoration-a project that seeks to honour its storied past while ushering in a new era of vitality. She'll follow Mount Congreve's revival, including the creation of a first-class café featuring ingredients grown onsite and meticulously curated retail spaces, all honouring Ambrose's vision and legacy. Buildings Beo - 4 The Old Mill/James O' Neill Building (Kinsale) TG4 Wednesday 10/12 8.30pm It's off to Ireland's foodie capital, Kinsale, in this episode, as Carrie delves into the transformation of a...

Leitrim County Council is inviting parents and children aged 7 to 12 to explore coding technology together through a series of free, family-friendly sessions as part of Science Week 2025, which runs from November 9th to November 16th. The OurKidsCode workshops will take place across the county at Leitrim's Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) and libraries. OurKidsCode is a nationwide programme developed by a research team at Trinity College Dublin that helps families learn about technology in an enjoyable, hands-on way. No experience is needed - just a laptop and a willingness to learn something new. The workshops are most suitable for children aged 7 to 12, but everyone is welcome. Leitrim County Council has been supporting the programme for 18 months, and it has already proved a hit in Leitrim communities, with excellent feedback from parents and children alike. During Science Week 2025, the two-hour workshops will take place in Leitrim's libraries and BCPs, giving families across the county an opportunity to discover how coding can spark creativity, build problem-solving skills and boost confidence. As well as being a fun and stimulating way for families to spend time with each other, these educational sessions help to address the urban/rural divide by bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) activities to families in rural Ireland. In time, initiatives like OurKidsCode could open doors for future opportunities for people to live and work in their home counties, as so many careers in computing and technology can be done from home. The workshops have also seen significant numbers of girls shine in the fun environment, which could lead to a higher take-up of STEAM careers for young women. Martina Gilmartin, facilitator of the OurKidsCode programme in Leitrim, said: "Working as a facilitator with OurKidsCode here in Leitrim, it has been lovely to see parents and children sitting together, laughing, creating, problem-solving, and being proud of what they achieve as a family. "In this very tech-savvy world, many parents worry about children spending too much time on screens. OurKidsCode offers something completely different - active, creative computer time rather than passive screen time. Coding helps children to think, to problem solve, to plan and sequence, to make patterns and to persevere. In truth, it is about more than coding. It is about connection - between parents and children, between families and communities, and between creativity and technology." Nicola Mc Manus, Broadband Officer at Leitrim County Council, said: "Leitrim County Council are delighted to be part of this very worthwhile initiative with Trinity College and OurKidsCode in bringing coding workshops to young people and their families in County Leitrim. We encourage families to take this opportunity to support our young people to access valuable learning in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths." Fiona Wheeldon, who participated in an OurKidsCode workshop with her sons, said: "We really loved the coding workshop provided by OurKidsCode over four days in Manorhamilton library last year. My two sons (5 & 9 at the time) and I learnt lots about Micro:bit, Scratch & Makey Makey - how to use them and where to go to get our own. My kids are still interested in coding now, with the younger one doing some Makey Makey projects, and the older one doing Makecode Arcade at home." If parents, parent associations, and community groups would like to enquire about hosting Our Kids Code workshops at their local BCPs, they can email nicola.mcmanus@leitrimcoco.ie for further information. To take part or find out more and to register, contact your local library, your nearest BCP, or phone Martina Gilmartin on 087 154 5012. Families can find more information at www.ourkidscode.ie.

Lord Leitrim, John Twiss and the songs of our year (with Michael Steen) This edition of the podcast is dedicated to the memory of Manchán Magan.

There was a fall in the number of rental properties available within the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) limit in September, with the latest Locked Out of the Market report from the Simon Communities showing just 24 rental properties were available under HAP limits across 16 areas last month. That's a 25% drop since June, with only 11 areas offering no HAP housing at all. Dublin accounted for 21 of the 24 HAP eligible homes found nationwide, while Sligo and Leitrim had the lowest number. But what does the situation look like here in Clare? To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined live on the line by Niall Garvey, CEO of Midwest Simon.

Your cohosts are back from an eight-day road trip through Ireland's Hidden Heartlands, where instead of profiling a person, they went “Off the Beaten Craic” to explore a place - the Irish Midlands.Some tourists might view it as "drive-through country,” as they motor west from Dublin to the Wild Atlantic Way, but John and Martin found just a fraction of what they're missing in Offaly, Westmeath, Longford, and Leitrim. And by traveling at a leisurely “slow tourism” pace during the quieter fall “shoulder season,” they found little traffic, uncrowded restaurants, more of a local vibe to the pubs, and had legendary historic sites almost to themselves.The peripatetic podcasters conversed with almost two dozen Midlands guests, capturing stories about local history, organic farming, biodiversity, greenways, Shannon river cruising, farm-to-table dining, slow adventure travel, hospitality, archaeology, astronomy, entrepreneurship, and civic pride, while at times going knee-deep into the distinctive bogs that shape the Midlands landscape.Your hosts also brandished their selfie sticks to add sights to their sounds on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok.The “Off the Beaten Craic in the Hidden Heartlands” series was made possible through the support of Tourism Ireland, which markets the island of Ireland overseas as a compelling holiday destination, and the guidance of Fáilte Ireland, the National Tourism Development Authority, with a tip of the hat to the Leitrim County Council for their warmest of welcomes.Join us “Off the Beaten Craic in the Hidden Heartlands!”Links:Hidden Heartlands Travel ResourcesIreland.comDiscover Ireland's Hidden HeartlandsIrish Stew Social MediaInstagramLinkedInXFacebookTikTokEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 29; Total Episode Count: 132

With rising rents, packed commutes, and the endless pace of city life, more and more people are saying goodbye to Dublin and heading west. Martha Gilheany, who made the move from the heart of the capital to County Leitrim she joined Cormac and Claire to tell us more.

Five years ago the death of Leitrim man Liam Farrell was officially found to have been the result of a heart attack. But his family believes otherwise. Brendan Farrell, son of Liam Farrell, outlines the details of his meeting on Tuesday with justice minister Jim O'Callaghan.

Fianna Fáil's Jim Gavin has emerged as the candidate with the strongest national radio footprint in the run-up to the 2025 Presidential election, according to new research from Irish PR intelligence platform Everhaze. Analysis of 2,500 radio clips over the past twelve weeks shows that while Independent Catherine Connolly leads overall mentions (36.3%), Gavin (33.5%) pulls ahead in terms of national airwaves share, with 34.9% of his coverage on national talk formats. By contrast, Connolly's campaign is more heavily weighted to local outlets (68.6% of her coverage) and Heather Humphreys' profile is even more locally concentrated (71.3%). This national advantage translates into strong presence across high-reach talk shows such as The Pat Kenny Show, Newstalk Breakfast, and The Anton Savage Show, where margins between candidates are typically slim but Gavin remains consistently competitive. On local radio, however, Connolly retains the edge, leading in 13 counties including Donegal (+22pp) and Galway (+18pp). Gavin posts selective peaks (notably Louth, where he dominates with 77.5% of mentions) and converts his national presence into 8 county leads overall. Humphreys, meanwhile, has a more concentrated footprint, with standout strength in Cavan/Monaghan (+12pp lead). Sentiment analysis underscores a three-way contrast: Humphreys records the most positive net tone (+12pp), Gavin trends neutral-positive (+5pp), while Connolly faces a more polarised balance (?3pp). Speaking about the findings of the report, James McCann, CEO of Everhaze said: "With nominations closed and facing into the four week sprint, each candidate will be looking to own the share of voice across the national airwaves to capture undecided voters. Outside of Dublin the counties of Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon have heard the least from all candidates so far which is unsurprising given the battle for the urban centres of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. As the campaign heats up its every candidate's race to lose in presenting a clear narrative and message to the public." Everhaze is an Irish-built PR intelligence platform that tracks real-time media coverage across radio, print, and online sources in Ireland and the UK. Its technology combines broadcast capture with AI-driven analysis to map who is getting talked about, where, and in what tone. The platform is widely used by communicators to monitor campaigns, understand sentiment shifts, and measure share of voice. As part of the 2025 Presidential campaign, Everhaze has launched the "Battle of the Airwaves" tracker, a live view of how each candidate is performing week-by-week on radio. The tracker highlights: Share of voice across national vs local stations County-by-county exposure showing where candidates are winning or lagging Sentiment balance, capturing whether coverage is favourable, critical, or neutral Programme battlegrounds, where margins between rivals are razor-thin Updated weekly, the Battle of the Airwaves gives voters, journalists, and campaign teams a transparent lens on who is winning the media war as the race for Áras an Uachtaráin heats up.

Richie is joined by the author, journalist and broadcaster John Waters. Hundreds of Irish artists and musicians signed a petition to CANCEL a festival that aims to celebrate Irish culture, music, poetry and the Irish language. Yes, you read that right. The Mise Éire festival was scheduled to take place in Leitrim later this month, but the venue came under pressure from a woke mob and capitulated. The organisers have now secured a secret location for the event. John Waters will be attending and speaking at the festival and came on to discuss the implications of it all with Richie. https://miseeire.telltix.com/www.johnwaters.substack.com

A controversial “far right” festival set for a Leitrim community centre will no longer take place at the venue following an open letter signed by hundreds of Irish artists including Kneecap and Christy Moore. Is there a double standard when it comes to political views? We discussed with Mary Kenny Author, Journalist and Irish Independent Columnist.

Four-time All-Ireland winner Ciara Trant joined Colm, Meghann and Rachel in studio on Thursday's Off The Ball Breakfast. With the All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football Championship group stages underway, Ciara assessed the opening weekend's round of games - including Dublin's lucky escape in Waterford, and why Leitrim could be in for a tough time this Saturday. On a wider scale, the guys considered whether or not there is anything the LGFA can do about Irish players joining up with AFLW clubs in Australia, and how much it is actually impacting Ladies Gaelic football in Ireland.

Sometimes it can be hard to describe what an episode of Talking More Bollox is like. This one of those weeks.We go from Leitrim's first traffic late (surprisingly late), to Calvin's fear of the ruthless elderly women down the local, and on to confusion and hostility over the definition of a second cousin.We take up the challenge of creating carnage in the Ilac, ponder Terry's ongoing Argos mystery, try to explain why there was no “first” human being, teleport through time, and doubt the existence of dinosaurs (not all of us).And to wrap it all up, we work on a proposal for a potentially malicious and certainly hilarious body swap between Terence and Eoin.Please send questions to help us make more sense next week, to talkingbollox@goloudnow.com

If Terry and Calvin think they can pull the Leitrim wool over the listener's ears, they were proven VERY wrong this week.Having both claimed to never having been to the fair county in last week's bonus, listeners were quick to point out these outrageous lies and a grovelling apology is duly issued.Calvin 'Sherlock' O'Brien blows Terry's mind by guessing his middle name and as ever they tackle the tough questions like how long can you live in your car and we hear about how Terry got on in his driver theory test.

A student entrepreneur saving 1,000kg of e-waste every year building his own gaming PCs was the winner of the Student Enterprise of the Year winning the senior category at the awards that took place in Mullingar. Jack Cannon, a senior student at Clonkeen College in Dun Laoghaire, built his first PC at the age of 11 with the help of his brother. He set up Cannon PC at part of the Local Enterprise Offices' Student Enterprise Programme and so far, has achieved sales of almost €40,000. Cannon builds upcycled high speed gaming PCs from old PCs being disposed of in office clear outs and for general sale online. Upcycling project wins student enterprise award There were also top awards handed out in the Intermediate and Junior categories. Suet & Song, a business set up by Michael O'Keeffe from St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny, creates high-quality, nutrient rich suet cakes for birds during the colder months and it took home the top prize in the Intermediate Category. In the Junior category a device that helps hikers and farmers cross electric fencing easily won the top award. Bumblebees is a business set up by Antonia O'Looney, Sophie Gilard, Guiliana Keane and Katelyn Murtagh from Drumshanbo Vocational School in Leitrim. Their WASP (Wire Anti Shock Protector) product is a device that enables people to push down the electric fence without receiving a shock, enabling them to cross safely. The inaugural Student Enterprise Programme Alumni Award was presented to Fenu Health. Set up by sisters Kate and Annie Madden for the Student Enterprise Programme in 2016, the company creates supplements for equine health and their customers include five royal families. The 23rd Student Enterprise Programme National Finals saw 85 businesses from across the country shortlisted in three main categories. The Local Enterprise Office initiative, supported by Enterprise Ireland and local authorities, commenced last September in secondary schools nationwide with over 30,000 students taking part this year. The event was hosted by broadcasters Rick O'Shea and Louise Cantillon and they were joined during the ceremony by Peter Burke, T.D. Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Employment as they announced the winners across the three main categories on the day. The initiative, funded by the Government of Ireland through Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the 31 Local Enterprise Offices in local authorities throughout the country, has seen over 450,000 take part in the programme since it began 23 years ago. Gareth Evans, Chair of the Local Enterprise Office's Enterprise Education Committee, said; "It's been another hugely successful year for the Student Enterprise Programme. Last year we had over 30,000 participants and we will hit that again this year. So, the appetite for student entrepreneurs is growing and that is no doubt down to seeing the amazing young entrepreneurs this country is producing. We've had some excellent winners here today and going on previous successes they will go on to do great things. A great example today was our Alumni Winner, Fenu Health, who are now an outstanding Irish business trading internationally. Today is just the start for these winners and finalists. The skills and lessons they have learned through the process will stand by them for life and we're excited to see where their businesses go from here and the new ones they start-up in the future." The National Final students, who competed across Junior, Intermediate and Senior categories were challenged with creating, setting up and running their own business, which must show sales of their service or product. The judging panel included business owners and representatives from enterprise agencies and associated bodies. The Student Enterprise Programme is open to students of all ages at secondary level, with three separate categories - Junior (1st year), Intermediate (2nd and 3rd year) and Senior (4th, 5th and 6th year, LVA, LCA and Youth Outreach). The Student Enterprise of the Y...

‘Roving Out' is a radio documentary that celebrates the burgeoning musical culture of Ireland, by focusing on musical artists Mohammad Syfkhan, Varo, Qbanaa and Wise Wolf, who have all made Ireland their home. Named after the traditional song, ‘As I Roved Out', it explores how these musicians decided to leave their own countries, some due to war and persecution, others for adventure to seek a new life on this island.All of the artists have managed to find a foothold in the Irish musical community, where they have met like-minded people and managed to combine their own culture with Irish musical forms. The artists all represent different countries including Syria, Italy, France, Cuba and Palestine and the scope of their music takes in many genres from traditional and folk to R n' B, pop and hip hop.Mohammad Syfkhan - a Kurdish/Syrian Singer and Bouzouki player has released his debut album ‘I am Kurdish' on the Leitrim based record label Nyahh records. He has played many gigs around Ireland including a sold-out album launch at the Bello Bar in Dublin. He will be appearing on festival bills throughout the Summer.Varo are singers and fiddle players Lucie Azconaga and Consuelo Nerea Breschi, who met in Dublin in 2015. They have recorded a soon to be released collaboration album featuring Ian Lynch (Lankum), John Francis Flynn, Anna Mieke, Slow Moving Clouds, Inni-K amongst others.Having spent her first year exploring a range of styles and genres, Cuban Irish artist Qbanaa returns in 2025 with the sound that may well come to define her. Qbanaa's forthcoming EP Elisa (her nickname in Cuba) containing snippets of found sounds, street recordings and conversations made in Cuba, poetic bilingual lyricism and immersive soundscapes makes for a collection of beautifully understated original music.Talha AlAli, AKA Talha Wise Wolf, is a Palestinian psychotherapist, activist, hip-hop artist, and human rights defender. Since moving to Ireland in the 2010s, Talha has studied a Masters in Psychology and performed many gigs around the country.The programme investigates the lives of these musicians before they moved to Ireland, their reasons for moving here, and how they have brought their unique musical cultures to boost the thriving music scene here. It celebrates the diversity of Ireland and its music, while also examining difficult subjects such as the circumstances that have caused some of the artists to migrate here, racism they have experienced and difficulties in integrating to Irish society at first.For more, see Newstalk.com.

Last week, a Brazilian man who rented out properties across rural Ireland under false pretences and used them as brothels, was jailed for nine years.Ilamar Rodrigues Ribeiro, who pleaded guilty to brothel keeping, possession of child pornography, and money laundering, was linked to rental properties in counties Longford, Kildare, Cavan, Wexford, Roscommon, Leitrim and Carlow.The case highlighted how the sex industry continues to thrive throughout Ireland, while also shining a light on the State's 2017 legislation which made the purchase of sex illegal, but not the sale.The legislation was designed to shift the legal burden towards those who buy sex rather than the sellers, aiming to protect those most at risk within the sex industry. But has this worked?A long-awaited review of the legislation, which was finally published last week, acknowledged that the demand for sexual services has not decreased in recent years.Why is enforcing this legislation so difficult and do those within the sex industry feel more protected by this law?Irish Times reporter Órla Ryan discuses the review of Ireland's contentious sex-work legislation.
