The award-winning STEM Passport for Inclusion programme is calling on professionals across Ireland to sign up as mentors and support the next generation of STEM talent from under-served backgrounds. The initiative is now expanding its reach and is seeking volunteers to play a vital role in supporting students as they explore education and career pathways in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). By dedicating fifteen hours, across the next 12 months, mentors can provide guidance, share personal and professional experiences, and help students from under-served backgrounds around the city to build the confidence and skills they need to pursue further education and careers in STEM. A short online training session will take place across a number of dates, including the 4th, 9th, and 16th of June, and the 14th of July, equipping new mentors the tools and confidence to get started. While an in-person full day training day will take place on Tuesday July 28 in Microsoft offices in Leopardstown, Co Dublin. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor is encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/dAqBVpL2DR. Additional training dates will be scheduled in August. STEM Passport for Inclusion is an initiative led by Prof Katriona O'Sullivan at Maynooth University's National Centre for Inclusive Higher Education. The programme is funded by Research Ireland, the Department of Education and Youth and Microsoft, as well as by many industry and education partners. It aims to tackle persistent inequalities in access to STEM education and career pathways, with particular focus on growing representation of under-served communities. The mentoring programme is designed to be flexible and accessible. All mentoring sessions take place online and are supported by the STEM Passport for Inclusion team, ensuring that volunteers are fully equipped to make the most of the experience. Importantly, mentors do not need to come from a STEM background, or even work in STEM; what matters most is their willingness to listen, support, and encourage the next generation. Professor Katriona O'Sullivan, STEM Passport for Inclusion, emphasised the importance of this work, saying: "Following a busy year for the STEM Passport for Inclusion, we are now focused on building on that momentum and expanding the programme's reach. As we grow the programme across Ireland, we are looking for people who are willing to share their time and perspective. By volunteering as a mentor, individuals can make a meaningful difference, while helping to build a more inclusive and diverse future workforce." About STEM Passport for Inclusion: The award-winning STEM Passport for Inclusion is an initiative led by Prof Katriona O'Sullivan at Maynooth University. Funded by Research Ireland and the Department of Education, as well as lead and founding partner Microsoft Ireland alongside many industry and education partners, STEM Passport creates an innovative pathway for students from under-served backgrounds to third level education by earning a Level 6 STEM qualification, work experience opportunities, and mentoring from inspiring industry role models.

In June 2025, the Mancel family left their apartment in Leopardstown in south Dublin, headed to Dublin Airport and flew to Reykjavik. They checked into the luxury Edition hotel for what appeared to be a weeklong holiday for husband Emeric Mancel (57), wife Ming Ting and their 29-year-old daughter, Catherine.But on the day they were due to fly home, Emeric and Catherine were found dead from stab wounds in the hotel.Shortly after the grim discovery in the hotel, Ming Ting was arrested and she is now facing a murder charge over the killing of her daughter Catherine. Her husband is suspected of assisting in their daughter's death.Reykjavik-based Irish journalist Karen McHugh explains this most troubling case, including the inheritance issue; how Ming Ting changed her story and why she is being allowed to live freely in the Icelandic capital while she awaits trial.NOTE: This episode contains discussions about suicide, which some listeners may find upsetting.For support: Samaritans on freephone 116 123 or text HELLO to 50808.

Ciara from “posh” Leopardstown says her family and friends are judging the fella she's seeing… purely because he's from Coolock and “sounds a certain way”. She likes him — they don't — and the snobbery is doing her head in. Adrian and Jeremy tear into class, accents and the unwritten rules of who you're “supposed” to date… before Jeremy admits he couldn't go out with someone with a “junkie voice”. Then the calls explode: one dad proudly admits he judged his daughter's boyfriend for his accent, his job in Tesco and even liking MMA — and gets absolutely slaughtered for it. Reverse snobbery, council estates, and “standards” all get dragged into it.

Novice chasers stole the show over Christmas - and now we need to separate hype from hard truth. On this week's Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Jamie Wrenn break down the headline performances from Kempton, Leopardstown, Punchestown, and Limerick — and what they could mean for Cheltenham Festival 2026. Data-led, opinionated, and packed with value angles, this is the ultimate festive novice chase review.
The Christmas racing is done. Now it's time to work out what actually matters. On this week's Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Jamie Wrenn review the key races, performances, and Cheltenham implications from a fascinating festive period packed with Grade 1s, shocks, and strong opinions.
Are attendances set to bounce back at the Cheltenham Festival? That is just one of the questions examined in this week's edition of The Front Page. Hopes are high that falling crowd numbers at the sport's biggest meeting could become a thing of the past after Cheltenham's New Year's Day fixture was a sellout for the first time in its history. With attendances having also risen at Kempton, Ascot, Leopardstown and elsewhere across the Christmas and new year period, the sport is enjoying a positive start to 2026. Lee Mottershead, Lewis Porteous and Scott Burton look at that recent development and also discuss Betfred's decision to so far reject a new media rights deal with a collection of British racecourses. The team debate what that means and consider a move by campaigners to persuade government that gambling advertising should be banned. In another packed edition, Lee, Lewis and Scott also salute Billy Loughnane after the young riding sensation set a major new record.
In this festive special podcast, Josh dives into a magic period of Christmas racing, with focus on a thrilling King George VI Chase and four unforgettable days from Leopardstown's Christmas Festival, with exclusive insights from Gordon Elliott, Barry Connell, Sam Ewing, Lydia Hislop, Jack Kennedy and journalist Mark Boylan – as well as sharp analysis from on-hand pundit Andrew Blair White.

On this packed episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn and George Gorman to unpack a week of drama, dominance and divisive opinions in the build-up to Epsom. We begin in France with heartbreak for Basher Watts, Kieran Shoemark and Charlie Fellowes as She's Perfect is controversially disqualified from the French 1000 Guineas, handing the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches to Zarigana, who emulates her famous granddam in style. But did the stewards get it right — and should the team appeal? From there, it's all roads to Epsom, as Ballydoyle's iron grip on the Classic trials continues at Chester, Lingfield and Leopardstown. The panel debates which of Aidan O'Brien's stars are true Derby or Oaks contenders, and which are better Royal Ascot material. The podcast is split — with two of the team pushing hard for a 10/1 Oaks filly, while the others are outright dismissive. Could O'Brien's best Derby hope actually emerge from York in the shape of The Lion In Winter? And is one Classic trial runner being criminally underestimated at 33/1 for Epsom? Plus: Two juveniles to follow for Royal Ascot, and a look at whether East India Dock can follow up his Chester Cup heroics at the summer showpiece.
