We caught up with Declan Watters to learn more about his innovative and powerful tech for good medical app that he has developed. Declan Watters, MediSnap Who are we talking to, is it a logical journey to what you do now? I'm Declan Watters, a practicing paramedic and co-founder of MediSnap. The journey makes complete sense when you look back, though I didn't plan it this way. I started in pharmacy at age 14, working under Jim McCormick at Magees Pharmacy in Letterkenny. Spent 22 years in pharmaceutical retail, progressing through Cara Pharmacy Group, learning everything about medications - from otc, brand, generic and trade along with dispensing and wholesale operations. Then I moved into paramedicine about six years ago, completing my BSc (Hons) in Paramedic Science from UCC this year. I also have a BSc in Computer Science from LYIT back in 2005, which I honestly thought I'd never use professionally. Turns out, having pharmacy knowledge, emergency medicine experience, and computing skills is the exact combination needed to build MediSnap. The platform exists because I live this problem daily. When you meet someone in an emergency situation and they can't tell you what medications they're on - unconscious patients, confused elderly people, language barriers, flustered family members- you're making critical decisions with incomplete information. we built the tool I needed without actually knowing what we had. What are you currently working on? MediSnap - an AI-powered medication identification platform for healthcare professionals. You photograph medication packaging, prescriptions,bottle, handwritten or blister packs, and within 3-5 seconds you get instant identification plus critical drug interaction alerts. Rapidly painting a picture and allowing the medical professional to move ahead with treatment and cuts minutes googling medications, we cant know them all! We've just launched on Google Play Store, with iOS coming shortly. The platform supports multiple languages - English, Irish, Ukrainian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish - because language barriers are a massive issue in emergency healthcare. Especially the Cyrillic alphabet recognition, it read Ukrainian language and packaging. Right now we are managing rapid growth whilst preparing for regulatory approval through HPRA (Health Products Regulatory Authority). We've gone from company registration in October to 352 registered healthcare professionals using it operationally in emergency situations. We've had nearly 100,000 website hits and over 3,500 people checking out the platform. That's all organic growth - healthcare workers telling their colleagues about it. We dont have marketing or a budget. I'm also in conversations with Enterprise Ireland for seed funding, and we've got national media coverage coming. It's been a whirlwind few weeks. How long did it take you to build up the app, and how has it evolved over time? From company registration to live product took about six weeks. We launched the beta in late October 2025, and we've just gone commercial on Android. It was built on a shoestring budget whilst working full-time as a paramedic - evenings, nights, weekends. But we have been developing this this for the best part of 2025. I should mention - I have a silent partner, my Co-Founder and CTO, who handles all the technical development. We've been best mates since childhood, so working together just clicks. A lot of the best decisions happen over a pint or on the phone late at night, talking through problems. He prefers to stay out of the spotlight, but I couldn't have built this without him. Having someone you trust completely makes the hard days manageable. We compiled the proprietary medication database using my 22 years of pharmaceutical knowledge, designed the clinical workflows based on what I actually need in the field, and handled all the testing with colleagues. My co-founder built the platform architecture and makes sure everything actually works tech...

After helping make some of the most successful TV shows out of Canada ever — “Letterkenny” and “Shoresy” — Jacob Tierney figured he was done telling stories about hockey. But then he read a steamy romance novel about two hockey players who fall in love, and he realized that was the story he needed to tell. His new show, “Heated Rivalry,” comes out tomorrow. Jacob sits down with Tom Power to tell us why he thinks so many bestselling romance novels are about hockey players, and how he managed to get a “joyfully smutty” TV show greenlit.

Stoirm Amy: 184,000 áitreabh gan cumhacht leictreach. A man was seriously injured in an accident in Co. Donegal today which was caused by severe weather, Gardaí say. Gortaíodh fear go dona i dtimpiste i gCo Dhún na nGall inniu arbh í an aimsir gharbh ba shiocair leis, a deir na Gardaí. The accident happened in Letterkenny at around 4.15pm. Tharla an tionóisc i Leitir Ceanainn ag thart ar 4.15 tráthnóna. As Storm Amy makes its way across the country, it is reported that approximately 184,000 properties are currently without electrical power. Agus Stoirm Amy ag déanamh a díchill ar fud na tíre, tuairiscítear go bhfuil thart ar 184,000 áitreabh gan cumhacht leictreach faoi láthair. Meteorologists have announced seven different weather warnings – from yellow to red – in various parts of the country. Tá seacht bhfoláireamh éagsúla aimsire fógartha ag na meitéareolaithe – ó bhuí go dearg – in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír. The most serious of these is the red sea warning that has been issued between 2pm and 8pm this evening from Head of Limerick in Co Clare to Head of Roscommon in Co Donegal to Benmore in Co Antrim. Is tromchúisí dar ndóigh an foláireamh dearg mara atá fógartha idir 2 a chlog agus 8 a chlog tráthnóna inniu ó Cheann Léime i gCo an Chláir go Ceann Ros Eoghain i gCo Dhún na nGall go dtí an Bhinn Mhór i gCo Aontroma. In fact, the weather is most severe along the coastline between Galway and Donegal, with winds reaching up to 120 kilometres per hour, although almost every part of the country has received its share of the storm. Go deimhin, is feadh an imeallbhoird idir Gaillimh agus Dún na nGall is gairbhe atá an aimsir, mar a bhfuil suas le 120 ciliméadar san uair faoin ngaoth, siúd is go bhfuil mórán gach áit sa tíre tar éis a cion féin den tuargaint a fháil. Met Éireann says the wind gusts are above average and are likely to cause power outages in more places, down trees and cause sea waves to hit shores. Deir Met Éireann go bhfuil neart os meán sa stangadh gaoithe agus gur dóichí go ngearrfar an chumhacht i dtuilleadh áiteanna, go leagfar crainn agus go dtonnfaidh an fharraige isteach ar chladaí dá bhíthin. Since the timely announcement, people in the most remote places have been protecting themselves since yesterday against what is inevitable. Ó tugadh fógra go tráthúil, tá daoine in áiteanna is sceirdiúla á ndíonadh féin ó inné ar an rud nach bhfuil inseachanta. For example, sandbags have been pressed tightly against doorways in Donegal and Sligo to prevent water from leaking into homes and shops, especially in areas where the public has bought in. Cuir i gcás, tá málaí gainimh brúite isteach go dlúth le doirse i nDún na nGall agus i Sligeach ar fhaitíos go sceithfeadh uisce isteach i dtithe agus i siopaí, go háirithe i gceantair a bhfuil ciall cheannaithe ag an bpobal. People are also being urged to use common sense and stay home rather than risking danger and defying the quarantine without good reason. Táthar ag achainí ar dhaoine gnáthchiall a bheith acu freisin agus fanacht sa bhaile seachas dul i nguais agus dúshlán na síne a thabhairt gan údar maith. People must be alert to downed power lines, says the Electricity Supply Board, and not touch or touch them. Ní mór do dhaoine a bheith san airdeall ar shreanga cumhachta atá tite, a deir Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais, agus gan drannadh leo ná lámh a leagan orthu. The company says its technicians are trained and on standby to carry out repair work as soon as possible, if necessary. Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil a gcuid teicneoirí innealta agus ar fuireachas le hobair dheisiúcháin a dhéanamh a thúisce is féidir, más gá. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Semiconductor and Photonics Innovation at SPEAR Centre SPEAR Centre has been designed to position the Northwest as a hub for semiconductor and photonics innovation. The project will align with the EU Chips Act and Ireland's Smart Specialisation Strategy, embedding advanced technology capabilities into the regional economy and strengthening cross-border collaboration. Over the coming years, SPEAR will deliver on three key pillars. A Doctoral College will train the next generation of PhD researchers in photonics, artificial intelligence, and semiconductor technologies. An Innovation Fund will support research and development across at least nine regional SMEs, enabling them to integrate cutting-edge technology into their operations. A Strategic Engagement Programme will foster collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers while raising public awareness of the potential of advanced technologies. The project launch, which took place yesterday, brought together a wide range of stakeholders from across the island, including academic experts, industry leaders, regional SMEs, and government representatives. Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment Peter Burke TD said: "The launch of the SPEAR Centre marks a significant milestone in our ambition to lead in advanced manufacturing and semiconductor innovation. By aligning with the EU Chips Act and our national Smart Specialisation Strategy, this initiative will not only drive regional economic growth but also ensure that SMEs and researchers are at the forefront of global technological development. I commend the collaborative spirit behind this project and look forward to the transformative impact it will have on the North West and beyond." Economy Minister Dr Caoimhe Archibald MLA said: ""Today's launch moves us a step closer to creating a global centre of excellence for semiconductor photonics in the North West. This is an ambition we are already well on our way to achieving; with the excellent partnerships long established here between our universities and industry. As Economy Minister, I am committed to working with partners right across this island, to deliver on my economic vision, with innovation at its heart. This investment will enhance the region's attractiveness to inward investment, supporting the creation of more new, Good Jobs." SEUPB Chief Executive Gina McIntyre said: "This PEACEPLUS project is designed to transform the North West through cutting-edge research, innovation, and enterprise development. "It represents an investment in technology and education and also in people, in places, and in the shared future of the cross-border region. Through cross-border collaboration - between ATU, Ulster University, and Tyndall National Institute - this will strengthen the bonds of shared progress. "This project marks a new chapter for regional innovation, for cross-border partnership, and for this island's place in a fast-changing technological world. Empowering SMEs and growing high-tech sectors helps give people the opportunity to stay in the Northwest and this, in turn, helps create the conditions for a sustainable, inclusive peace."Atl...

Episode Summary:John Dominic Crossan is the world's most prominent Jesus scholar. He joins me today on Holy Heretics to discuss what we can, and what we cannot, know about the life of this first century Jewish peasant. Unlike traditional theological portrayals of Jesus, which center primarily on his death and resurrection, Crossan's scholarship focuses on the historicity of Jesus. Who was he? What evidence do we have to support his existence? Instead of asking why Jesus died, Crossan has spent decades unearthing the reasons Jesus lived.For Crossan, Jesus was a radical social revolutionary who confronted Roman oppression and attempted to live into an alternative version of reality. His portrayal challenges conventional Christian perspectives that see Jesus primarily as a divine figure who came to die for our sins.In books like The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish Peasant (1991), Crossan presents Jesus as a figure who opposed both Roman imperial rule and the hierarchical structures of Jewish society. He describes Jesus' movement as one of radical inclusivity and nonviolent resistance. Crossan's work has been controversial, particularly among conservative Christians, because he downplays the supernatural aspects of Jesus' life, including the literal resurrection. Instead, he sees the resurrection as a symbolic event representing the triumph of Jesus' teachings.I'm delighted to share our conversation with you! If you are interested in learning more about the historical Jesus, this episode is a fantastic introduction. By challenging conventional wisdom and introducing his rigorous historical methods, Dom Crossan invites listeners to meet Jesus again for the first time.BIO:John Dominic Crossan is an Irish-born American theologian and former Roman Catholic priest best known for his association with the Jesus Seminar. Upon graduating from high school in Letterkenny, Ireland, in 1950, Crossan moved to Chicago, where he joined the Servites, a Roman Catholic monastic order. Ordained a priest in 1957, he returned to Ireland to study at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and received a doctorate in theology in 1959. He then studied at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome for two years before returning to his Servite community to teach.In 1965 he began study at the École Biblique et Archaéologie Française de Jérusalem (French Institute of Bible and Archaeology, Jerusalem). Two years later he returned to Chicago to join the faculty of the Chicago Catholic Theological Union. In 1969 he resigned from the Servite priesthood, citing a longing for academic freedom and his intention to marry. He soon joined the faculty of religious studies at Chicago's DePaul University, where he taught until his retirement in 1995.Crossan continues to write and lecture today. His most insightful books include The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Final Days in Jerusalem, The First Paul, God and Empire, andJesus: A Revolutionary Biography.Please follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!
