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?

In this episode, we speak with artist Bassam Issah Al-Sabah about his new audio work Field Image, where landscapes shaped by extraction, memory and technological infrastructure are contextualised through the shifting terrain of the Irish bog. Beginning with the work's disembodied narrator, we explore what it means to become part of a landscape where human presence lingers only through traces. The conversation then moves towards the bog as an ancient archive, existing alongside a contemporary landscape increasingly reshaped by data centres and digital infrastructure.Together we discuss how folk knowledge, ecological systems and colonial histories intersect with computational technologies. We consider whether plants, folklore and older systems of organising land might operate as forms of resistance that repel the infrastructures imposed upon them. Thinking about the material realities of the digital through heat, soil, extraction and energy, the conversation challenges immaterial information and asks what ancient technologies and embodied ways of knowing might reveal in an age obsessed with data and legibility. This mini-series is commissioned by the Henry Moore Institute as a part of their program for their exhibition Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age, open 15th May - 30th August 2026.Bios;Bassam Issa Al-Sabah works CGI animation, sculpture, textiles, painting, and installation, constructing speculative worlds where fantasy, mythology, and digital culture become methods for reimagining identity, memory, and collective futures. Drawing on the visual languages of anime, video games, and online image cultures, his practice explores transformation as a queer methodology, proposing mutable bodies, mythic narratives, and hybrid ecologies as alternatives to fixed understandings of gender, history, and belonging. Recent work has increasingly engaged feminist and posthuman perspectives, using fiction as a critical framework through which care, desire, revenge, and interdependence can be imagined beyond patriarchal and colonial structures.Al-Sabah's work has been presented extensively across Europe in museums, galleries, and festivals, including the Barbican Centre, London; Jeu de Paume, Paris; FACT Liverpool; De La Warr Pavilion; and The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin. Alongside his solo practice, he has developed an ongoing collaborative body of work with artist Jennifer Mehigan, extending his interest in speculative storytelling through large-scale installation, animation, sculpture, and publishing. Across both solo and collaborative projects, his work continues to investigate how fiction, digital technologies, and myth can produce new ways of understanding ecology, kinship, and collective experience. His work is held in the collections of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), the Arts Council of Ireland, and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council Using paint, inkjet, neural networks, her garden and her phone, Jennifer Mehigan's prints and paintings blend new and old methods of processing the world. She positions the relationships between contemporary image-making technologies and their predecessors as a ‘strained mother-daughter' dynamic, encompassing wider ideas of reproduction and inheritance in image ecologies. For the past seven years, her research has oriented around the Famine to present alternative vantage points of what abstraction means in an embodied context, its relationship to ideas of appetite and fertility, and how it can be considered both an applied and innate technology. The mouth and throat are interrogated as sites of image production, becoming ‘embodied printers' in which oral histories and their materialities might be made visual to renegotiate the conditions of abstraction as we understand them now. Her wider practice incorporates sculpture, filmmaking, publishing, perfumery, and parties, deploying sensory experiences to explore ideas of movement and digestion as it is outsourced to machines. She regularly works in partnership with artist Bassam Issa Al-Sabah and has previously collaborated with and been part of collectives such as Synthesize_Her, Temporary Pleasure, Fruit Shop, and The 343. Recent shows include multiple iterations of ‘Uncensored Lilac' in Aksioma, Ljubljana (2026), VSSL Studio, London (2025), and Transmediale, Berlin (2024); ‘Nightbloom Chokehold' in Douglas Hyde Gallery 2, Dublin (2022); and group shows and screenings include Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (2023), Anafi Film Festival, Greece (2025) and FACT Liverpool, UK (2026). She is currently a research fellow at the International Centre for the Image, Dublin. Previously based in Singapore and Belfast, she now lives and works in rural Limerick.Broadcast through @rtm.fmHost @influential_bro @_rebecca.edwards @niamhschmidtke Artist @this.isnowhere Music @joemoss1 @jtre_v

In hiding a cost-benefit analysis for the Ryder Cup in Limerick next year, is the Government in danger of drawing more attention to the costs of subsidising the event? Lise Hand and Shane Coleman join Matt to discuss this and recall other occasions when ministers spent public money on major sporting events. Matt reveals that planning for Donald Trump's September visit has accelerated, making it almost certain that he is coming. Lise, Shane and Matt also recall other times when major security operations were put in place for the arrival of foreign dignitaries. They discuss the Stop the Game campaign and whether Ireland should play football against Israel. The hypocrisy of the Aughinish Alumina report gives us another example of the Streisand effect, and they ask whether we take climate issues seriously enough.Brought to you by The Greenman Group.PTP+To enjoy early access, ad-free listening and weekly bonus episodes, sign up at pathtopowerpodcast.comGet in touch: mail@pathtopowerpodcast.comFollow Matt:https://twitter.com/cooper_mhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-cooper-615a1317https://www.instagram.com/mattcooperlastword/ Hosted on Acast.

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.

Discussions are ongoing to establish a solution to end legacy flooding on a notorious section of the Ennis to Limerick rail line. It comes as the Government has confirmed that it's reconvened the Ballycar Steering Group. It's understood the Transport Minister, Clare County Council, Iarnród Éireann and the Office of Public Works have met in recent weeks with a view to moving forward with the €16.7m project. Newmarket-On-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin says it's a step in the right direction, but they need to see real progress.
