Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá is fiche de mhí Feabhra. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tá sé mar aidhm anois ag Conradh na Gaeilge “gníomhú i dtreo Éire Aontaithe ar leas na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta” tar éis don Ard-Fheis vótáil ar son athraithe ar bhunreacht na heagraíochta. Bhí an ócáid bhliantúil ar siúl san Óstán Europa i mBéal Feirste an deireadh seachtaine seo caite, an chéad uair a reachtáladh é sa chathair le tríocha bliain. Lá suntasach a bhí ann don eagraíocht nuair a ghlac mórchuid de na baill gur chóir go mbeadh an Conradh i lár an aonaigh maidir le deireadh a chur le críochdheighilt na hÉireann. Tagann an fógra seo ag am cinniúnach don teanga, dar leis an taighdeoir Róisín Nic Liam, a thug rabhadh go mbeidh an Gaeilge i mbaol mura n-athraíonn meon an phobail agus muid ag druidim le comhaontú na tíre. I measc na n-abhár eile a pléadh, glacadh freisin le rún a éilíonn gníomh ó Stát na hÉireann chun dul i ngleic leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht agus moltaí ón gConradh agus ó eagraíochtaí ar nós Bánú a chur i bhfeidhm. Bronnadh Gradam an Uachtaráin ar an ngníomhaí cearta Fergus Ó hÍr as a chuid éachtaí thar na blianta, lena n-áirítear a sheasamh in aghaidh na mBlocanna H agus a cheannaireacht ar Raidió Fáilte.Níl an dara rogha ag foireann sacair na hÉireann ach a gcluichí i Sraith na Náisiún in aghaidh Iosrael a chomhlíonadh. Sin de réir Phríomhfheidhmeannach Cumann Sacair na hÉireann (an FAI) David Courell, i ndiaidh an fhógra go n-imreofaí cluiche baile i mBaile Átha Cliath ar an gceathrú lá de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Tuigeann an FAI go mbeidh an cinneadh seo deacair ar go leor den lucht tacaíochta, a deir a ráiteas, ach caithfidh siad cloí le rialacha UEFA nó glacadh leis an mbaol dícháilithe. Thacaigh gnáthbhaill FAI roimhe seo le rún ag iarraidh go gcuirfí Iosrael ar fionraí ó chomórtais UEFA mar gheall ar an gcinedhíothú sa Phalaistín. Bhí ráflaí ann go n-imreofaí an cluiche thar lear, ag cur san áireamh an teannas idir an dá thír agus an imní faoi chúrsaí slándála. Tuigtear, áfach, go bhfuil na Gardaí sásta nach mbeidh aon fhadhb ann. Níl a fhios fós cad a dhéanfaidh daoine mar fhreagra, ach is féidir a bheith ag súil le baghcat nó le hagóid ag an Staid Aviva ar an oíche.Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge 2026 beagnach buailte linn, agus chun an ócáid ​​a cheiliúradh, beidh dhá scannán as Gaeilge le feiceáil i bpictiúrlanna ar fud na hÉireann. Beidh lucht féachana Cúla4 ar bís faoi fhilleadh carachtair bhuí áirithe ar an scáileán mór sa scannán beochana SpongeBob: Cá Bhfuil SquarePants? San eachtra nua seo, caithfidh SpongeBob a chrógacht a chruthú dá leathbhádóir, an tUasal Krabs, agus an bheirt acu sa tóir ar thaibhse fíochmhar. Más rud é go bhfuil tú ag lorg rud eicínt níos dorcha, áfach, is féidir leat dul chuig Báite, scéal noir atá suite sna seachtóidí, ina dtagann rúin ghránna chun solais tar éis corp a fháil i loch. Ba é Ruán Magan, deartháir Manchán, a stiúir an scannán, bunaithe ar an úrscéal The Lake, le script ón údar céanna, Sheena Lambert. Tá ardmholadh faighte ag Báite on eagarthóir coimisiúnaithe TG4, Máire Ní Chonláin, a deir go bhfuil sé “fréamhaithe go domhain in áit agus i gcarachtair”, le béim láidir ar shaibhreas scéalaíochta na Gaeilge.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Die Olympischen Spiele sind jetzt gerade frisch vorbei. Die Winter-Olympiade hat viele Menschen begeistert. Manch einer hat sich vielleicht gefragt: Wie kommt man eigentlich ins Eishockey-Team? Wie wird man Teil einer Mannschaft? Und wir alle, fürchte ich, kennen die Situation, wie das so ist in der Schule. Da wird einer vom Lehrer, von der Lehrerin ausgewählt und muss dann ein Team zusammenstellen. Wer bringt eigentlich Stärke, Können oder Ehrgeiz mit? Solche Fragen kennen wir alle. Und nicht nur im Sport, sondern auch im Beruf, im Alltag. Oft neigen wir dann dazu, Perfektion zu erwarten und Schwächen zu vermeiden.Wie hat eigentlich Jesus sein Team zusammengestellt? Er wählte zwölf Menschen aus, keine Helden ohne Fehler, sondern ganz normale Menschen mit Stärken und Schwächen. Einer wird ihn verraten, einer verleugnen, zwei waren ehrgeizig, andere eher still. Thomas war der große Zweifler, unzulängliche Menschen, genau wie du und wie ich, wie wir. Und doch waren sie Jünger, weil sie Zusammenhalt, Vertrauen und Bereitschaft machten, und das war wichtiger als Perfektion.Der Kabarettist Hans-Dieter Hüsch hat es einmal so auf den Punkt gebracht: Zur menschlichen Würde gehört das Unvollkommene. Ich bitte die Menschen, sich dies zu erhalten. Diese weltliche Perspektive trifft ins Herz jeder Gemeinschaft und sollte auch in das Herz von uns Christen treffen. Paulus erinnert uns daran: Einer trage des Anderen Last.Verantwortung teilen, einander stützen, Fehler eingestehen, neu beginnen, das macht Gemeinschaft lebendig. Und das ist unser Team. Am Ende zählt nicht unsere Perfektion, sondern unser Zusammenhalt. Unzulängliche Menschen können gemeinsam unglaublich stark sein. Das ist die Kraft der Gemeinschaft, die wir in unseren Gemeinden, in unseren Kirchen und überall erleben können, getragen von Vertrauen, Respekt und der Bereitschaft, füreinander da zu sein.Dass auch ihr diese Erfahrung heute macht, wenn ihr im großen Team des Lebens mitspielt, das wünscht euch euer Stefan Wißkirchen, Hochschulpfarrer in Düsseldorf.

Award-winning director, producer, and writer Ruán Magan joins Irish Stew for a timely conversation ahead of his double appearance at this weekend's Solas Nua Capital Irish Film Festival, where he'll present two very different visions of Ireland on screen.Ruán reflects on a creative life that has taken him from early collaborations with his brother, writer and broadcaster Manchán Magan, through decades of boundary-pushing work that has reached audiences around the world. He talks about growing up in a family steeped in story, language, and history, and how that background propels him toward projects that dig beneath the surface of Ireland's past and present.One of his festival offerings is the new documentary “Daniel O'Connell – The Emancipator,” which marks the 250th anniversary of O'Connell's birth and revisits the life, legacy, and global impact of “The Liberator.” Ruán describes the film as “a chance to step back from today's noise and remember how one determined Irish lawyer changed the democratic DNA of the modern world,” connecting O'Connell's campaigns for Catholic Emancipation to later movements led by figures like Frederick Douglass, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.He then turns to his Irish-language drama “Báite,” a feature that takes his fascination with Irish history and identity into more intimate, psychological territory. Ruán calls it “a story where the past seeps up through the floorboards of ordinary lives,” using the rhythms of the Irish language and the coastal landscape to explore guilt, memory, and the pull of old ghosts.Throughout the episode, Ruán shares his approach to filmmaking as “trying to make the invisible visible—whether that's buried history, an overlooked revolutionary, or the quiet truths people carry inside them.” He talks about balancing scholarship and emotion, why collaboration matters, and what keeps drawing him back to Irish subjects for a global audience.Irish Stew will be the Podcast in Residence at the Capital Irish Film Festival, Feb. 26 – Mar. 1, appearing on stage after the Friday 6:30 p.m. screening to discuss Northern Irish film with a panel of Northern Irish filmmakers.LinksSolas NuaWebsiteCapital Irish Film FestivalBáiteDaniel O'Connell: The EmancipatorRuán MaganWebsiteIMDbLinkedInIrish Stew LinksWebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 10; Total Episode Count: 151

This year, the PorterShed in Galway will be the location for the 2026 Sustainable Media Ireland (SMI) annual conference. It is the first time it will be held outside of Dublin, and TG4 are delighted to be the host. Sustainable Media Ireland is a network of media organisations that come together to discuss and share information, consider policy and promote engagement on all aspects of sustainability across Ireland's media sector. SMI members include TG4, RTÉ, Virgin Media Ireland, Screen Ireland, Screen Producers Ireland, Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI), Craol representing national, local and community media commercial and online press, with support from Coimisiún na Meán. The conference will be a day-long experience, featuring talks and panels looking at many aspects of the media in Ireland, all through the prism of sustainability. While this clearly means careful consideration of the environment, it also considers the economic stability and social and cultural impact of our work. Previous SMI events took place in Virgin Media Ireland studios and RTÉ studios. This year's event will feature a look at the contribution Manchán Magan has made to the Irish language, television and our appreciation of the land. Technology innovator Glen Mulcahy looks into what impact AI could have in the not-too-distant future. After a very wet and stormy start to the year, there will also be a discussion on business resilience in the light of increasing extreme weather impact. Rónán Ó Domhnaill, Media Development Commissioner at Coimisiún na Meán said: "Coimisiún na Meán is committed to supporting sustainability best practice across the media sector in Ireland. The annual Sustainable Media Ireland event offers all members the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and develop policy. We are delighted to be heading West and holding the event outside Dublin for the first time. We're always conscious of managing the carbon footprint of the event by choosing timings that are convenient for public transport, which we strongly encourage, and providing vegetarian-only catering options. We're also excited to introduce online streaming for the first time for members unable to travel with international contributors joining us via video link. At a time when extreme weather events are impacting every part of Irish society, we look forward to exploring how media can address the climate crisis in a meaningful way." Deirdre Ní Choistín, Director General TG4: "TG4 are delighted to be hosting our media colleagues for this wonderful event. Sustainability must be at the heart of everything we do as organisations. It will be great to share best practices, hear from inspiring innovators in sustainable production and discuss the challenges we all face while working together to find long-term, viable solutions. Bringing people to Galway also allows us to showcase the best of what is happening here in the production sector in the West and to celebrate the achievements of our wonderfully talented media and creative professionals". The conference takes place on Wednesday, 25th February and is free for SMI members and staff to attend. Tickets are available on Eventbrite here.

Manch einer wird sich jetzt wünschen, dass der Hochschulpfarrer aus Düsseldorf mit einem Alaaf aus dem DOMRADIO in Köln grüßt. Das kommt mir eigentlich – und das dürfen die Düsseldorfer jetzt nicht böse nehmen– auch etwas leichter über die Lippen. Karneval ist etwas, das Menschen zusammenführt, egal unter welchem Wahlspruch, ob nun Alaaf oder Helau. Wir alle leben davon, dass wir miteinander feiern können und an diesen Tagen spüren – und vielleicht sehen wir auch alle–, dass Netzwerke zwischen Menschen wichtig sind. Aber ich sage euch, Freundschaften sind noch wichtiger, sind lebenswichtig. Denn einen Menschen zu haben, einen Freund, über den ja so viele Karnevalslieder singen, das ist ganz entscheidend. Einen Menschen zu haben, der mich kennt, bei dem ich nichts leisten muss, so wie im Karneval, bei dem ich einfach sein darf. Freundschaft ist mehr als Kontakt. Sie ist Beziehung, getragen von Vertrauen, Treue und einem gemeinsamen Ziel. Am Karneval darf man auch sagen, vom gemeinsamen Feiern. Diese Sehnsucht nach echter Freundschaft trägt jeder in sich. Papst Leo hat das in seinem Wahlspruch auf den Punkt gebracht. "In Illo uno unum". “In dem einen, in Christus, sind wir eins.” Freundschaft mit Gott führt zur Einheit untereinander. In der Apostelgeschichte begegnen uns zwei Freunde, Paulus und Barnabas. Nach seiner Bekehrung will Paulus sich den Jüngern Jesu anschließen, doch sie haben Angst vor ihm. Barnabas ist der einzige, der an ihn glaubt. Er vermittelt, ermutigt, öffnet Paulus Türen. Er erkennt Gottes Wirken dort, wo andere vielleicht nur das Risiko sehen. Karneval lädt uns ein, auf andere zuzugehen, Freundschaft zu ermöglichen, in dem einen den anderen zu erkennen. Und das wünsche ich euch allen für diesen Tag, dass ihr in der Ausgelassenheit dieser Tage auch wirklich Freundschaft, Verbindung und ein Miteinander findet. Denn denkt auch daran: Selbst wenn ihr in einer der großen Karnevalsgesellschaften seid, Netzwerke sind wichtig, aber Freunde, wirkliche Freunde, die sind lebenswichtig!Der DOMRADIO-Morgenimpuls: Montag bis Freitag erzählt die Olper Franziskanerin Schwester Katharina von ihren Gedanken zu Gott und der Welt. Samstag und Sonntag sprechen im Wechsel die Religionslehrerin Vanessa Grbavac und Pfarrer Stefan Wißkirchen darüber, wie sie Glauben und Alltag miteinander verbinden. Im Radio um viertel nach 6 Uhr und als Podcast.

Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German, and branches spanning the world, from Australia and India to North America. But the inhabitants of these islands originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic. In Thirty-Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish Landscape (Chelsea Green, 2026) Manchán Magan explores the enchantment, sublime beauty and sheer oddness of a 3000-year-old lexicon. Imbuing the natural world with meaning and magic, it evokes a time-honoured way of life, from its 32 separate words for a field, to terms like loisideach (a place with a lot of kneading troughs), bróis (whiskey for a horseman at a wedding), and iarmhaireacht (the loneliness you feel when you are the only person awake at cockcrow). Told through stories collected from Magan's own life and travels, Thirty-Two Words for Field is an enthralling celebration of Irish words, and a testament to the indelible relationship between landscape, culture and language. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Post-Christmas blues and a December birthday, angels of heaven and the origins of Gaelic football in Wexford, with Mary O'Donnell, John Toal, Jackie Lynam, Alison Ní Mháirtín, Paul Rouse, the late Manchán Magan and Eithne Hand (pic: Paula Malone Carty)

As 2025 comes to a close, The Last Word pays tribute to all of those who have passed away throughout the year.That includes movie legends Robert Redford and Diane Keaton; musicians Ozzy Osbourne and Chris Rea; beloved Irish figures Manchán Magan and Hugh Wallace; and many more.Press 'Play' to hear The Last Word's legacies reel.

It's a special four-person episode as we hit “Manch Vegas” with Emily and Jonnie to celebrate graduating early, being legal drinkers, and testing the limits of day drinking turned night drinking. Along the way, Dave loses his card in a way that somehow stays calm, we chase late-night food like we're in Manhattan, Reese loses a concert pretzel that was never actually lost, and we unpack the weird emotional whiplash of finishing college and stepping into real adulthood.Also: an overnight Amazon delivery becomes a porch pirate's holiday shopping spree, which turns into a surprisingly useful lesson on what to do when your packages walk away at 1:30 a.m. Come for the family chaos, stay for the proud parent feelings, the “home alone” bit, and the reminder that relationships are basically everything.

Óli Gränz er eyjapeyi og grallari. Hann missti aleigu sína í Heymaeyjargosinu og ástarlíf hans var stundum umtalað í Eyjum. Hjá Óla hefur gleðin alltaf haft yfirhöndina en stundum hefur þó gefið á bátinn. Í ævisögu sinni segir hann á hispurslausan og skemmtilegan hátt frá lífshlaupi sínu sem er engu öðru líkt. Við hittum Óla og rifjuðum upp með honum áhuaverðar sögur. Hingað komu svo tveir leikarar, Ólafía Hrönn Jónsdóttir og Erling Jóhannesson, en þau komu ekki til að tala neitt um leiklistina, heldur sögðu þau okkur frá Glóð kertastjakanum, sem seldur er til styrktar Konukoti, en Ólafía Hrönn tilheyrir hópi leikhúslistakvenna sem selja kertastjakana á laugardaginn í Hjartagarðinum. Erling er líka gullsmiður og hann hannaði einmitt kertastjakann. Þau sögðu okkur betur frá þessu í þættinum. Svo var það lesandi vikunnar sem í þetta sinn var Sólveig Jónsdóttir stjórnmálafræðingur og rithöfundur, en hún var að senda frá sér bókina Móðurlíf II, framhald af bókinni Móðurlíf, sem var örsagnasafn um allar mögulegar og ómögulegar tilfinningar tengdar móðurhlutverkinu.

Lord Leitrim, John Twiss and the songs of our year (with Michael Steen) This edition of the podcast is dedicated to the memory of Manchán Magan. Singer Michael Steen (a member of  the An Góilín Traditional Singers Club) has developed an intriguing calendar of the year, which creates a journey of song through the seasons. Some of these songs are tied to folklore traditions, others mark key anniversaries. In this discussion, we touch on all from the story of a detested landlord buried in St Michan's Church to the recently pardoned John Twiss. The calendar is available to view at www.songcalendar.ie.

Ellen Coyne and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics: · With Jim Gavin gone, the presidential election is now a two-horse race between Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys, and a more combative one at that as the third live debate on Thursday on RTÉ Radio's Drivetime will attest. Is Heather Humphreys trying to appeal to voters on the left who haven't made their mind up about Connolly yet? · As the timetable of who knew what and when becomes apparent in the Jim Gavin controversy, could those running his campaign have done anything to dampen the impact of the revelation around an unpaid debt to a former tenant from Gavin's time as a landlord in 2009? And why did Gavin go ahead and participate in RTÉ's televised debate last Sunday when the game was already effectively up? · And will Wednesday's marathon Fianna Fáil party meeting provide enough catharsis for a cohort within the party questioning Micheál Martin's leadership in the wake of the Jim Gavin fiasco? Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Manchán Magan remembered, Japan's Iron Lady, and Ray D'Arcy leaves RTÉ. Hosted on Acast.

Bhailigh na sluaite inniu i gColáiste Gonzaga i mBleá Cliath inniu le slán a fhágáil agus omós a thabhairt do Mhanchán Magan. Ní raibh ach 55 bliain d'aois slánaithe aige nuair a d'imigh sé ar shlí na fírinne an Déardaoin seo caite. Bhí ailse air le tamall. Bhain Manchán cáil amach mar gheall ar a chuid oibre mar scríbhneoir, láithreoir agus mar dhuine a spreag glúin nua i dtreo na Gaeilge de. Ar Seachtain, labhair Tessa Fleming le hÁine Ní Bhreisleáin, iriseoir le Seachtain, faoin lorg atá fágtha aige. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an ceathrú lá de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.Tuairiscítear go ndeachaigh fórsaí míleata Iosrael ar bord chuile bhád sa gcabhlachán Sumud atá ag iarraidh soláthairtí fóirithinte a thabhairt isteach go Gaza. Is Éireannaigh iad seisear déag as thart ar 200 oibrí deonach atá gafa ag Iosrael Bhí an grúpa ilchultúrtha ag tabhairt cúnaimh, bia agus leigheas go Gaza nuair a stop fórsaí Iosrael iad, thart ar 80 ciliméadar ón gcladach in uiscí idirnáisiúnta. Bhí Greta Thunberg i measc na ndaoine a gabhadh, chomh maith leis an bhfuirseoir Tadhg Hickey agus an Seanadóir de chuid Shinn Féin, Chris Andrews Tharla agóidí ar fud an domhain nuair a cuireadh stop leis an misean agus cáineadh an eachtra go hidirnáisiúnta. Meastar go dtógfar na daoine a gabhadh go hIosrael agus go ndíbreofar iad. De réir tuairiscí oifigiúla, tá breis is 65,000 duine maraithe ag fórsaí Iosrael go dtí seo, ach is dócha go bhfuil an fíorfhigiúr i bhfad níos airde ná sin.I gcathair Dhoire, tá sé ráite ag an gcomhlacht foilsitheoireachta Cló Cholmcille go bhfuil díomá mhór orthu gur gá dóibh díospóireacht phoiblí faoin toghchán uachtaránachta a chur ar ceal. Bhí cuireadh curtha acu ar na hiarrthóirí don uachtaránacht chuig ócáid an tseachtain seo chugainn, ach ní bhfuair siad ach freagra amháin, ó Catherine Connolly, an t-aon chainteoir líofa Gaeilge sa rás. Cé nach raibh Connolly in ann freastal, chuaigh sí i dteagmháil leis an lucht eagraithe chun leithscéal a ghabháil. Níos suntasaí, dar le urlabhraí Chló Cholmcille, níl freagra ar bith faighte go fóill ó Heather Humphreys ná ó Jim Gavin. Dúirt Cló Cholmcille gur deis iontach a bhí ann chun todhchaí an oileáin ar fad a phlé, ach b'fhéidir nach raibh mórán measa orthu de bhrí nach féidir leo vótáil sa toghchán seo. Chuir Nuacht TG4 ceist ar oifig phreasa Heather Humphreys agus Jim Gavin cén fáth nár fhreagair siad an cuireadh, ach ní bhfuair na craoltóirí freagra ach an oiread.Fógraíodh maidin inné go bhfuil an scríbhneoir, craoltóir agus déantóir clár faisnéise, Manchán Magan, imithe ar shlí na fírinne. Cúig bliana le cois an leathchéid a bhí sé. Thug Manchán le fios in agallamh a rinne sé ar Raidió RTÉ an mhí seo caite go raibh sé ag fáil bháis le hailse a bhí scaipthe go dtí áiteacha go leor ina cholainn. Sa mbliain 1970 a tháinig an Maganach ar an saol agus tógadh i nDomhnach Broc i mBaile Átha Cliath é. Rinne sé céim sa Ghaeilge agus sa Dlí i gColáiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath, sular bhain sé aitheantas amach mar dhuine de cheannródaithe shéanra an chláir taistil i nGaeilge. Ní hamháin sin, ach labhair agus scríobh sé go machnamhach le linn a ghairme faoin mhiotaseolaíocht, faoin stair agus faoi chúrsaí teangeolaíochta na hÉireann, go háirithe i leabhair ar nós Thirty-Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish landscape. Bhí sé le feiceáil le déanaí ar TG4 leis an tsraith Ag Triall ar an Tobar, atá fós ar fáil ar sheinnteoir TG4.

In den frühen 1980er Jahren gehen in einer methodistischen Kirche in Memphis, Tennessee, mysteriöse Dinge vor sich: Erst verschwinden Lebensmittel, dann tauchen unheimliche Notizen eines unbekannten Absenders auf. Manch einer glaubt an dumme Schülerstreiche, doch die Wahrheit ist sehr viel dunkler…
