Emmett McGuckin is this week's guest on the Official Coleraine Podcast. The striker - who played for the club for over a year - joined co-hosts Damian Mullan and Johnny McNabb on this week's show. Speaking during his lunch hour at St Mary's High School in Limavady, the likeable Magherafelt man discussed his rise in football and how it was hard to turn down a move to the Bannsiders in 2019. Emmett reflected on his debut goal against Linfield, the special night in Maribor and how sport in general has helped him form relationships both on and off the pitch. The 33-year-old also spoke about his stint at Carrick Rangers and how he has linked-up with a few familiar faces after his January move to Limavady United. As ever, we would like to thank our sponsors the Lodge Hotel.

Derry is a frustrated city. Too often promises of improvement either come to nothing, or happen too slowly.Anyone who doubts this can consider the regeneration of two major development sites – Ebrington and Fort George. One is now partially occupied, the other largely vacant. This is two decades after the fanfare of their transfer from the Ministry of Defence for the benefit of the city.The former Ebrington Barracks, also known at one time as HMS Sea Eagle, were gifted to the Northern Ireland Executive as part of the Reinvestment and Reform Initiative of May 2002. That is 21 years ago. The other sites handed over alongside Ebrington were Maze/Long Kesh, Crumlin Road Gaol and barracks in Magherafelt and Malone Road in Belfast.Over the years, there has been a lot of criticism of slow progress at Ebrington. But things speeded up recently, with Ebrington Hotel opening in the summer of this year. There are also bars, cafes and offices that opened around the main square. Major new Grade A offices at the adjacent Ebrington Plaza look as if they are near completion.However, there has been tension in the last month over the use of Ebrington's main public space. It appears that no legally binding agreement had been put in place by The Executive Office that clarified arrangements for its use and the potential nuisance to local businesses. This led to The Executive Office making compensation payments of at least £280,000 to businesses. There have been strong criticisms of The Executive Office for its handling of matters.There is sensitivity as a result of the fall-out, which may explain why neither the Ebrington Hotel nor Ebrington Holdings – which has a role in the future development of the area – responded to requests to discuss the situation for the latest Holywell Conversations podcast.Heron Brothers, which are the lead developers of the adjacent new Grade A offices which tower over Ebrington, also did not respond to our question of when the offices will be complete and occupied. The Executive Office chose not to speak to us, or provide a comment.As a result of the row over the use of Ebrington's public space, a resolution was agreed a few days ago by Derry City and Strabane District Council. This “reaffirms commitment to the transfer of Ebrington from TEO to Council as soon as its practically possible”, with the council's officials instructed meanwhile to engage with The Executive Office “so Council can provide the management and oversight function of sustainable and cost-effective events at the Square.”This suggests there may not be a quick resolution to conflicts over future use of the public space, especially as The Executive Office does not appear to have guaranteed that the public space will be available for future events.Despite these issues, Ebrington has become much more vibrant in recent months, since the opening of the hotel. A further development on the site will be the Derry North Atlantic Museum. This was to have been opened in 2016, but there have been delays in obtaining funding approval. Progress has recently accelerated, construction is to begin “as soon as possible”, says the council, and it is hoped it will open in 2025.Our latest podcast interviews owners of two businesses located at Ebrington – James Huey of The Walled City Brewery and Paul Nelis of Challenge Curve – who are both very positive about the location.While there is continued frustration at how slow the regeneration of Ebrington has been, the situation at Fort George is very much worse.Fort George was transferred under a different arrangement to that of Ebrington. It was handed back by the Ministry of Defence to Londonderry Port and Harbour – now known as Foyle Port – and sold to the Department for Social Development, now known as the Department for Communities, in May 2004 for £12m. So that is 19 years ago.Regeneration of Fort George was in part delayed by the need to remediate the site because of oil pollution dating from when it was part of a Naval dockyard and also because of the presence of the Japanese knotweed invasive species.There is just one building so far constructed at Fort George, which is the Catalyst facility for new start and developing technology businesses. It is fully let and a second Catalyst unit is to be built – planning permission has been approved and finance is being arranged.Back in December 2015, the Department for Communities obtained outline planning permission for mixed use development of Fort George. This led to a tender exercise in 2018, seeking expressions of interest for parts of the site. The Western Health Trust obtained approval for its bid.The Department told us that Western Trust will use the site for an “integrated primary, community and acute” centre. It will generate 250 new permanent jobs, as well relocating 450 existing posts. The Western Trust added that it is “working to complete” the outline business case, which is needed to move ahead with procurement for construction.It is unclear why the sale process has taken five years. We submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for copies of correspondence in order to understand this, but our application was rejected on the grounds that it contained thousands of items and was therefore excused from disclosure because of the cost of administration.Western Trust did disclose another important point. “The Department of Communities is working with other stakeholders to progress the development of the remainder of the Fort George site for development including the planning required for access, internal road and car parking infrastructure all of which will meet both the Western Trust and future stakeholder needs.”DfC itself explained: “The Department is currently revising the Masterplan to incorporate the proposed Health and Care Centre on the site. In the longer term, the Department intends to market the remainder of the site.”Western Trust is to occupy a mere 1.7 acres of the total 11 acres. This means that after nearly two decades there remains no clarity on how the majority of the site is to be used. Nor is the road infrastructure in place to support a major development.The latest Holywell Conversations podcast considers the regeneration of the two sites. It is a complex story, but does help to explain the continuing grievance the residents of Derry have when it comes to decisions taken by government in Northern Ireland.The podcast is available at the Holywell Trust website.Disclaimer: This project has received support from the Northern Ireland Community Relations Council which aims to promote a pluralist society characterised by equity, respect for diversity, and recognition of interdependence.

This week, it's very different. Dion Dublin visited Croke Park for the first time. The day before, Thomas brought the former England football international to Glen where he met a former All-Ireland winner, the current Derry captain and the community aspect of a sport that's different. Roy Keane, Eric Cantona and the real Alex Ferguson are explored and Dion gives us his take on Gaelic games, the contradictions within the sport and what sets it apart. It's a unique insight. Filled with laughs and depth it's a very different podcast from 'Homes under the Hammer' Presenter Dion Dublin signed for United, had a brilliant start to his career before breaking his leg. Manchester United signed Eric Cantona and Dublin left. It was a sliding doors moment. From Glen club to a Pub in Magherafelt before making our way to Dublin for the All-Ireland football quarter-finals. Dion Dublin, in Dublin, watching Dublin and he's on the GAA Social

This one is different. Ruairi Forbes is an inter-county minor player, from the Ballinderry club and has won a MacRory. He's still in School at St Mary's Magherafelt and will still be there next year. He explains what it takes for a youngster to make it in Gaelic games. His journey continues to evolve, but he talks social media controls, quitting rugby, dedication, snowflake generation and why sport is so important. It's a rare, frank and honest insight into a 16-year-old aiming to play at the very top. Kevin Brady played for Antrim for 15 years and manages St Mary's MacRory cup winning team. He explains how to get the best out of young people- why they're different and lessons to be learned. Kevin also explains the Tailteann Cup from the eyes of a former captain who won the Tommy Murphy cup - he still has the framed photo!

We get the latest from our reporters Una Kelly in Magherafelt, Evelyn O'Rourke in Jordanstown and Aisling Maloney in Belfast, with analysis from Northern Correspondent Conor McAuley.

Emma DeSouza is from Magherafelt in Co Derry and applied for a residence card for her US-born husband Jake to live and work in Northern Ireland in 2015 - the same year they were married in Belfast. She identified herself as an Irish citizen in the application. Why did she bring a legal case? She took the case after the UK Home Office rejected the application on the basis that it considered DeSouza a British citizen because she was born in Northern Ireland. She was told she could reapply identifying herself as British or renounce her UK citizenship and reapply as an Irish citizen. She claimed she never considered herself British so she could not renounce a citizenship she never had. She later said that she had “discovered that my lifelong Irish identity is evidently considered secondary to an unclaimed British identity.”

Jack Lennox (1924-2016) grew up in Curran, Co Londonderry, Northern Ireland. He served in the Royal Air Force during World War 2, and was saved in Magherafelt some time after the war ended.

Mr Lennox had a great interest in hymns and often wove details about hymns and their writers into his messages. He was invited to speak The post Jack Lennox – Stories about Hymns (36 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.

The Swedish language represents a kind of "what might have been" for Irish speakers - although there were less Swedish speakers than Irish in the world at the beginning of the 19th century, Swedish is the language of choice for millions of people who also have perfect English. In today's episode, Gearóidín phones in from Finland to tell Darach and Eimear about how Swedish is a minority language there, how different it is from Finnish, and how the story of the Finns sounds familiar to Irish people. The cultural impact of these countries is considered, including Stieg Larsson and Max Martin. ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ***** * ****** Join Darach at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace Centre in Magherafelt on the 9th of August.

We’re nearly at the end of this strange and dark decade and it’s hard to know what to make of it at this stage. So much has happened since New Year’s Eve 2009 that could not have been predicted, much of it bad. However, one of the nice things that was not expected ten years ago has been the rise of Irish language activism through social media, where unconnected individuals with a love of the language found a way to make it relevant to their online friends.  Different social media platforms have different appeals to different people. While Darach does his thing on Twitter, Múinteoir Meg prefers to rock the ‘gram, incorporating Irish language phrases and vocabulary into her posts and stories about food, fashion and travel. She joins Darach, Peadar and Clodagh on today’s show to talk about it, being an Irish teacher in 2019 and the Irish for goji berry. ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ****** * ***** * ****** Join Darach at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace Centre in Magherafelt on the 9th of August.
