✨ "It's not about the job or the wages. You have to love it with absolute passion." – Helen PichaHelen Picha manages Liskennett Farm, a groundbreaking equine-assisted therapy center for children and adults with autism and intellectual disabilities in Granagh, County Limerick, Ireland, on the border of Limerick and Cork. She took over as manager two years ago after eleven years working alongside founder David Doyle, and now runs the 80-acre center — home to 23 horses across residential, day, and equine programs — that Rupert calls the cutting edge of best practice in equine-assisted therapy.What sets Liskennett apart is scale paired with radical openness. Every Saturday, the farm runs a booking-free, fee-free open day that draws between 80 and 100 children, no appointment required, no family turned away. Its indoor arena, originally built for riding, has been repurposed entirely into a music, movement, and play space, because the horses and children preferred being outdoors. And many of Liskennett's horses are retired Thoroughbred racehorses, some placed at Cheltenham, brought down from the racing circuit through a careful, months-long retraining process before ever carrying a child.In this conversation, Helen and Rupert trace Liskennett's origin story — from a 2012 Horse Boy demo, a young woman's tragic death, and a €3 million donation to a modern therapy campus — and dig into how the farm actually runs day to day: horse selection and retraining, staff burnout prevention, community integration through an inclusive fox hunt and horse show, and Liskennett's expansion into new satellite centers backed by €6 million in Irish government funding.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Raymond Ryan, Milk Quality Advisor for the Limerick and Clare regions with Dairygold, joins Stuart Childs to discuss staying on top of milk quality.Raymond explains that milk quality in 2026 is generally holding up, with cell count and TBC broadly similar to previous years, but drought and difficult weather have created localised problems.Dirty conditions are the main risk, particularly for thermoduric bacteria and farmers should keep cows and parlours clean, manage sacrifice paddocks or cubicles carefully, ideally dry-wiping cows before milking. Making sure machine maintenance such as liners and rubberware has been done is also an important management step.Raymond says that, where problems arise, early action and implementation of consistent routines are critical: monitor cell counts/TBC and act quickly on rises, ensure adequate water and nutrition, remove persistent high-cell-count cows where appropriate, and maintain proper plant washing with sufficient hot water, chemicals, temperature and turbulence. For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

The five teenage boys killed in a horror crash when their car was driven the wrong way on the M9 motorway were all aged between 15 and 18 years of age. Post-mortem examinations will now be carried out on the bodies of Joey Carthy (15) and Jack Kennedy (17) from Athy, Co Kildare; Alex McCarthy (17) and his cousin Jeremy O'Brien (18) from Carlow; and Kamil Pustkowski (17) from Limerick. The teenagers, including some members of the so-called Lucky Dip gang, were killed when the stolen BMW car they were driving sped the wrong way down the M9 motorway and ploughed head-on into another vehicle. Three women and a seven-year-old boy who were travelling in the other Hyundai vehicle were hospitalised with injuries ranging from serious to critical following the early-morning smash on Sunday. The women and child were on their way to Dublin Airport at the time of the crash which occurred shortly after 3am near Moone, Co Kildare, on the northbound lane. Gardaí believe that the five juveniles were travelling in a suspected stolen BMW and are alleged to have been involved in a burglary and attempted break-ins in Carlow and Athy, Co Kildare, before the fatal smash.

A local campaigner who secured an apology from University Hospital Limerick over his late father's care has been writing about his experience.Mike Daly in Limerick City made history by successfully securing a second inquest into the passing of his father, Mike Daly Snr. The initial 2012 inquest ruled the death as natural causes due to cardiac failure, but a groundbreaking fresh inquiry was ordered and heard in 2023, and a verdict of medical misadventure was recorded. Following High Court action against the HSE in 2024, UHL issued a formal letter to Mr Daly's widow, Mary, admitting liability and apologising unreservedly for the "hurt, stress, and upset caused”Mike joined the programme.Image via Getty.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh to look back on the week in politics:Simon Harris has lobbied the European Commission over the prospect of Ireland's Central Bank once again being responsible for approving Israeli state bonds. Opposition parties have said the bonds are used to raise money for Israel's military campaigns. Ultimately, aside from some political messaging, it's an issue the Government can do little about.Excise cuts implemented in response to last spring's fuel protests are due to start tapering next month, just as fuel prices are beginning to rise again. With the disruptive protests still a painful memory and the Budget coming into view, Jack Chambers and Simon Harris are in an unenviable position. How will they play it?News that the Department of Children and Equality will spend money on a campaign to warn about the misogyny of the “manosphere” and “tradwife” influencers who “promote restrictive, stereotypical roles for women and girls” has enraged culture warriors and prompted a debate on the socioeconomic pressures that make working and caring in the home an impossibility for many families. Should the Government stay out of such debates and focus instead on structural issues that hold people back from living their lifestyle of choice?The Government's recent lack of transparency around two reports, one on Aughinish Alumina and another on data centres, left a lot to be desired.Entertaining documents released to The Irish Times under the Freedom of Information Act have cast light how two prominent pols - Mayor of Limerick John Moran and Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan - go about their business.And finally the panel pick their favourite IT stories of the week.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

An increase in car parking revenue generated at University Hospital Limerick has been described as “blatant profiteering off people in tragic situations”. HSE figures show revenue from parking charges at the hospital increased from €446,000 in 2021 to €1.44 million last year, representing an increase of more than 200%. The increase comes despite a commitment in the Programme for Government to reduce car parking costs at hospitals. HSE Regional Health Forum Midwest member and Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan has described the situation as “disturbing and wrong”.

A street in Limerick has had a major bird poo problem in the city. So much so it has become a major tourist spot thanks to the writer, podcaster and documentary maker ‘Blindboy' after he spoke about it in one of his podcasts last year. People from all over the world have travelled to Limericks Bedford Row since to take pictures of this street after he nicknamed the area the ‘Birdshit District'.Local councillors have recently put up reflectors in a trial run in an attempt to deter the birds but the county's Mayor John Moran has criticised the attempt and is asking for them to be removed so he can get a better understanding of these reflectors.Joining Ciara to discuss is Blindboy himself, writer, author, documentary maker and as you might know him from ‘The Blindboy Podcast'.

In the summer of 2006, a young mother in Limerick, Ireland suffered an asthma attack at home. She didn't survive. Her husband was left alone with two babies, a dog, and a house full of grief. So he did what any desperate parent would do. He asked for help. He just had no idea what was coming.Sources:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jason-corbett-death-woman-fights-for-her-brothers-honor-after-brutal-n-c-murder-killers-say-it-was-self-defense/https://apnews.com/article/46cff4e5069d5ff63366c7e9cd6634ffhttps://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025/05/19/molly-martens-jason-corbett-netflix/https://www.rte.ie/news/us/2023/1108/1415481-martens-corbett-timeline/https://www.rte.ie/news/2023/1030/1413704-corbett-retrial/https://law.justia.com/cases/north-carolina/supreme-court/2021/73a20.htmlhttps://time.com/7284114/a-deadly-american-marriage-netflix-true-story/This Week's Episode Brought To You By:Oak Essentials - Moisture-rich balm.

A lack of specialist services for adults with eating disorders in the Mid-West has come under renewed scrutiny after the HSE confirmed there is currently no dedicated adult eating disorder team in the region.     As a result, adults who require inpatient treatment are being admitted to psychiatric units in Limerick and Ennis, while those needing community support are treated through general mental health services.     The situation has prompted calls for dedicated funding and specialist care, with concerns that people with eating disorders are not receiving the treatment best suited to their needs.     To discuss the issue from both a healthcare policy and clinical perspective, Alan Morrissey was joined by Councillor James Ryan, a member of the HSE Regional Health Forum Mid-West, and Fierna Kennedy, Adult and Adolescent Psychotherapist with a special interest in eating disorders.

Tool theft continues to be a growing problem across the country, with tradespeople in counties including Limerick, Donegal, Dublin and Kildare among the latest victims.   It's an issue that's also been affecting many workers here in East Clare, where stolen tools can mean lost income, cancelled jobs, and higher insurance costs.   Now, Fine Gael Senator PJ Murphy is calling for tougher penalties, including a mandatory minimum three-year prison sentence for the theft, burglary, robbery or handling of stolen work equipment.   Joining Alan Morrissey to discuss the impact of these crimes and whether new legislation is the answer were Matthew Moroney, Founder of East Clare Community Alerts, and Fine Gael Senator PJ Murphy.

History, folklore and the enduring charm of Kilkee come together in a new book by Limerick author Maureen Sparling.   Mystery at Sykes House is inspired by the tragic wreck of The Edmond off the Clare coast in 1850, blending historical fact with romance, mystery and local legend.  Alongside the title novella, the book is a heartfelt celebration of Kilkee through stories, poems and memories that capture the special bond generations of people have shared with the seaside town.   Maureen joined Alan Morrissey to tell us more about the inspiration behind her latest work.

Today Hugh and Pat embark on a deep dive into the history of a political party that, despite its small size, had an enormous and lasting impact on Ireland.Born of the dire economic and political realities of 1980s Ireland, the Progressive Democrats, or PDs, spent half of their 23-year existence in power despite never having more than a handful of TDs - and sometimes far fewer. Under successive leaders Des O'Malley, Mary Harney and Michael McDowell, the party used that power to fight for lower taxes and economic liberalisation, reshaping the Irish political landscape along the way. But despite their outsized impact, the PDs could not survive.In the first of three episodes Pat traces the birth of the party to the misery of mid-80s Ireland, the enmity between Fianna Fail leader Charles Haughey and prickly, clever Des O'Malley, a natural leader and a Fianna Fáil TD for Limerick. In a controversy emblematic of 1980s Ireland, O'Malley was expelled from Fianna Fáil over the issue of contraception, ridding Haughey of a problem - or so he thought. But what followed was the emergence of a new political force that would threaten Ireland's sclerotic two-and-a-half party system.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Concern has been raised that vulnerable Clare patients could be locked out of a vital hospital service. It's understood that from September 7th, the Anti Coagulation (Warfarin) Clinic at University Hospital Limerick will cease operating five days a week and will instead only be available by appointment from 8am to 12 noon on Mondays and Thursdays. In a letter seen by Clare FM, the HSE says the change is required to continue a safe high quality service for anyone taking Warfarin. Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan says it's a seriously questionable decision.

A garda sergeant who lost his life in a road traffic collision in East Clare over the weekend is being remembered as a "very popular man" who's left a hole in An Garda Síochána. Long-time Broadford resident, Sergeant Andrew O'Riordan, was killed in a single-vehicle collision on the R466 at Gortnaglough outside Broadford on Sunday evening. The County Cork native was a father of five and was stationed at Mayorstone Park in Limerick for the past two decades. Clare Garda Representative Association representative Dominic Curtin says it shows no one is immune to the dangers of the roads.

Half of the alumina produced in the plant in the first quarter of this year went to Russia, up from 43 per cent last year. Will the Limerick plant's days be numbered eventually?The calls to ban e-scooters grew louder this week with Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly saying society would be “better off” without them.

They showed that the State paid more than €1 million for a single deportation flight when returning 42 adults and children from Ireland to South Africa in June.Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan shows no sign of backing down in the row over legal aid solicitor fees.
