Escape to the edge of wilderness luxury in this eye-opening conversation with Rick Dolishny, who alongside partner Jenn Carr has created Ontario's most innovative glamping experience at Maynooth Station Lodge. Rick shares the fascinating journey of bringing North America's only double-paned glass panoramic geodesic dome to life near Algonquin Park. This isn't just camping with better amenities—it's a revolutionary approach to wilderness tourism where modern comforts meet forest immersion. The dome features air conditioning, gigabit internet, a private hot tub for stargazing, and yes, a proper flush toilet that even the most luxury-minded travelers appreciate.What makes this story particularly compelling is how quickly Maynooth Station Lodge found success. Despite regulatory hurdles with Ontario's building codes that weren't designed for round structures, Rick and Jenn persevered. Now, just weeks after opening, they're completely booked through October, attracting urban professionals from Toronto and international travelers from as far as Germany. Their contactless check-in model perfectly matches what younger travelers are actively seeking—privacy, independence, and seamless technology integration in a natural setting.Beyond the dome itself, Rick has woven together a network of local adventure experiences—from UTV tours to whitewater rafting—creating a comprehensive wilderness getaway that benefits the entire Maynooth community. Local businesses report dramatic increases in visitors, with travelers arriving in everything from family minivans to white Porsche convertibles.Whether you're dreaming of your own glamping getaway or considering entering the outdoor hospitality business yourself, this episode offers invaluable insights into the future of tourism.

Were the secularists right in their declaration that religion is in the museum of history or is religion far from dead in 2025? It's a question provoked by a recent lecture given in Maynooth university in County Kildare by one of the best-known theologians from these islands. Dr Anna Rowlands, who is professor of Catholic social thought at Durham University and a recent advisor to the Vatican, told the gathering that not only is the political significance of religion rising, but new forms of religious and post-religious practice are emerging in both the global north and south.

ePower is to supply over 20 shopping centres across 14 counties nationwide with high speed EV charging points, following a partnership agreement with Lanthorn, which manages a portfolio of over €1.6bn of property throughout Ireland. Rollout will begin in 2025, and the sites where chargers will be installed include Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, as well as busy urban areas like Navan, Dundalk, Mullingar, Athlone, Maynooth, Portlaoise and Kilkenny. ?ePower is working closely with Lanthorn in association with their project managers, KSNPM. ePower has been selected following a competitive process, which took into account the company's ability to offer high speed charging facilities, tailored specifically to each site, and crucially, the assurance that the sites would be maintained and serviced by ePower's 24/7 help desk, field engineering and remote management. Commenting on the development, John O'Keeffe, CEO of Power, said: "We're very proud to be part of the drive towards making electric vehicles a better choice for consumers. The rollout and delivery of chargers, be it through public or private partnerships, is key to this. Through this partnership with Lanthorn, ePower plans to have super-fast chargers installed at shopping centres around Ireland, from Donegal to Cork and many places in between; it's a great expansion for us in what's been a hugely successful year of growth." It's been a busy year for ePower; the company recently joined forces with Dublin's local authorities to bring online up to 200 fast chargers across the region in 2025. The initial phase of the project will see ePower's high-speed chargers installed at more than 40 Dublin locations across the four Dublin local authorities. The company also won six of 17 government contracts for the rollout of new high-speed electric car charging hubs across Ireland, due to be operational by the end of 2025.

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!

Dan's first story is weird. We had a hard time tracking it and understanding it so if you have trouble too - don't worry. We'll talk afterwards and clear up any confusion. Then, we'll visit what sure seems to be a powerfully and malevolently haunted former seminary room in Maynooth in County Kildare, Ireland. A haunting that reads like the basis for a really good horror movie. Then, Lynze shares an interesting haunted apartment story where a family lives in two separate apartments in the same building that both seem to be plagued by the same "something". What is it? Where does it stem from? Then, lastly, a creepy mimmic tale. Or is it? This weeks entire show is really weird and does not offer a ton of solutions, making it that much scarier.

I wished my late friend, Sherlock Holmes, was still here because this crime had a mystery to it that I knew he would have loved to solve. Three years had passed since Holmes's death. He had died during a fight with his enemy, Professor James Moriarty, at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Both of them had fallen into the powerful water below. Now, all I had were my memories of Holmes and the many adventures we had shared together. My time with Holmes had given me a deep interest in crime, and every day I read the newspapers to look for unsolved robberies and murders. Sometimes, I even tried to use Holmes's methods to solve them, though I wasn't very successful. The murder of Ronald Adair was especially interesting to me, and I carefully read all the evidence presented at the inquest. All day, as I visited my patients, I kept thinking about the case. However, I couldn't figure out how the murder was committed, or who the killer was. Ronald Adair was the second son of the Earl of Maynooth, who was the governor of an Australian colony. His mother came back to England from Australia in the summer of 1893 for an eye operation. She, Ronald, and his sister Hilda lived at 427 Park Lane in London. Ronald quickly became popular with the upper class of London society. He seemed like a well-liked young man who had no enemies. In the autumn of that year, he got engaged to Miss Edith Woodley, but they ended the engagement by Christmas. There were no bad feelings, and they stayed friends. People who knew Ronald Adair said he was quiet, modest, and easy to get along with. There was nothing about his life or personality that made it seem like he would meet a violent end. However, he died in a strange and brutal way between 10:00 and 11:20 p.m. on the night of March 30, 1894. Ronald Adair enjoyed playing card games. He was a member of three card clubs in London and played almost every day, but usually for small amounts of money. On the day he died, he played two rounds of whist at the Bagatelle Club, one in the afternoon and one after dinner. His fellow players—Mr. Henry Murray, Sir John Hardy, and Colonel Sebastian Moran—later said there were no big wins or losses that day. Adair might have lost five pounds, but that was a small amount for someone with his wealth. He was a careful player, though he did win big sometimes. For example, he once won £420 in a single round with Colonel Moran as his partner. On the night he died, Ronald Adair came home from his club at exactly ten o'clock. His mother and sister were out visiting someone. The servant said she heard him go into his sitting room on the second floor. She had already lit a fire in the room and opened a window to let out the smoke. No one heard any noise from that room until Lady Maynooth and Hilda came back home at eleven-twenty.

University College Dublin (UCD) has announced that fifteen participants have been selected for a new specialist food and agriculture entrepreneurship programme being delivered by the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering in partnership with Teagasc. The announcement was made in Enterprise Ireland's Innovation Arena at the 2024 National Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska, Co. Laois, and was attended by Peter Burke TD, Minster for Enterprise, Trade and Employment. Peter Burke TD, Minster for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, said, "I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the fifteen participants who have been selected to take part in the inaugural 12-month Food and Agriculture Sustainable Technology Innovation Programme or FAST-IP. The ambition of FAST-IP is to drive innovation in Ireland's food and agricultural sector by supporting needs-led innovation, creating start-ups with the capability to scale and sell internationally, and generating new jobs for the sector in Ireland. I wish the participants every success in the year ahead." FAST-IP will further enhance innovation in the food and agri sector by providing programme participants with the necessary skills to evaluate, select and validate ideas for new products and services in this sector and to accelerate the commercialisation pathway for the identified products and services. FAST-IP is currently underway at the AgTechUCD Innovation Centre at UCD Lyons Farm in Co. Kildare and will be delivered annually until the end of 2029. FAST-IP is accredited by UCD at Level 9 on the National Qualifications Framework and participants who complete the programme will be awarded a Graduate Diploma in Agrifood Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Professor Kate Robson Brown, UCD Vice-President for Research, Innovation and Impact, said, "We were delighted to receive nearly 200 applications for FAST-IP's inaugural programme which is a strong indication of the demand for this exciting Innovators' Initiative programme from across Ireland and indeed internationally. I would especially like to congratulate the fifteen participants who have been selected for the first programme following a rigorous interview process and I wish them every success over the coming year. During the next year the participants will work together to discover real world needs in the food and agricultural sector through their immersive experiences in industry environments and bring innovative solutions to address the identified needs in a commercially viable manner with the aim of creating start-ups and generating new jobs." Participant Brian Russell, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, said, "I am excited to be accepted as a participant in the first year of the FAST-IP programme. As I change my career trajectory the programme provides me with a unique opportunity to bring my experience from manufacturing, project management and quality, into a diverse team driving sustainable technology and innovation in the Food and Agriculture sector, turning transformative ideas into viable business propositions. With most of my career having been overseas, the contact network that the programme offers, meeting, learning and collaborating with industry leaders and experts is an incredibly resource to be part of." FAST-IP uses design-thinking methodologies and has a practical focus. Through the programme, participants will learn how to conduct needs-led innovation to develop market-validated solutions to unmet needs in the areas of agricultural technology and food sustainability sectors. Participants will also spend 8-10 weeks immersed in agricultural environments, including farms, food processing companies and Teagasc locations throughout the programme. Professor Frank O'Mara, Teagasc Director, said, "The world leading research, expertise and facilities from the UCD and Teagasc partnership and supporting industry networks, will demonstrate the breadth and depth of the agri-food sector to the participants. We look forward to...

In a new TG4 series from IWR Media, Caomhnóirí na Talún, they follow five Irish farmers over the course of a year as they farm with nature. From an extensive suckler farm on Inis Mór island to the karst beauty of the Burren to the dairy heartland of east Cork, ther cameras follow as these farmers create and conserve habitats on their farms, pioneer new ideas and try to find a way to protect wildlife and their living. Irish farmers, trying to balance nature and farming Across the country we've seen catastrophic declines of birds, wild bees and native plants. Even once common birds of our farmland and open countryside like the skylark and kestrel, are now in deep trouble. The intensification of farming and forestry directed by policy and payments over decades, is seen as one of the most significant contributors to these losses - as land use changed, as wetlands and bogs were drained and reclaimed, as pesticide use and chemical fertiliser increased or as grass management changed such as the switch from hay meadows to silage. As more and more land was brought into production, there was less and less space for wildlife. Yet if biodiversity is to improve, if habitat loss can be reversed or even halted, it is across Irish farmland that change will happen. If it's to happen, farmers are the ones who will turn this crisis around. And across the country there's a growing number of farmers who are forging that path and farming with nature. Over the course of a year, our cameras follow five of these farmers as they create habitats like ponds, nettle patches or bee scrapes on their farms. As they let their hedgerows grow, blossom and fruit. As they discover treasure in the fields. As they adopt new farming techniques like mob grazing or no-till to regenerate soil on intensive ground. Or as they keep faith with traditions such as the winterage [winter grazing] that maintain the wildflower beauty of landscapes like the Burren and the Aran islands. All while trying the find a balance between nature and the realities of making a living from farming. The Farmers Pádraic Ó Flaithearta has a small dry stock suckler herd on Inis Mór and like hundreds of farmers across the Aran islands, Pádraic farms traditionally in one of the most unique habitats of machair and species-rich grassland. John Arnold and his wife Mary run a dairy farm in Bartlemy, east Cork and are part of the flagship farmer-led B.R.I.D.E project [Biodiversity Regeneration in a Dairying Environment]. Full-time teacher and part-time farmer Eoin Collins, farms a suckler beef herd with Dad Michael in Kilfenora, Co. Clare where traditional farming practices maintain the rich flora of their Burren land. Journalist and organic farmer Hannah Quinn-Mulligan farms in partnership with her grandmother Catherine on their Limerick farm where Hannah's been increasing habitats and trialing new farming practices to help nature. And outside Maynooth, Norman Dunne, alongside Dad Michael, has switched to a regenerative farming approach which sees him try to rebuild fertility and life in the soil after decades of intensive tillage.

It's claimed there's a "pep in the step" of priests in the Diocese of Killaloe as three new vocations have been recorded. For just the second time in 20 years, three men in this Diocese will be entering the seminary at Maynooth later on this month. One candidate is from Tipperary while the remaining two are from Clare - with former Ennis Fianna Fáil Councillor Mark Nestor among them. Principal of St Flannan's College and Vocations Director for the Diocese of Killaloe Father Ignatius McCormack believes while vocations have been falling, the support for the church in Clare has never wavered.

An Ennis principal says he wants to see a secondary school admission process similar to what operates in the county town rolled out to south-east Clare. Education Minister Norma Foley has confirmed a centralised admission process for post-primary schools will be introduced in several high-pressure towns and suburbs for the 2025 school year. The system is already in place in Ennis and Limerick City where parents submit one form on which they indicate their preference of the local second-level schools instead of making individual applications. Ennis CBS Primary School Assistant Principal Colm Davoren says towns and villages on the Clare/Limerick border would benefit greatly from such a system. [CLIP] Additional first year places have been created for September in the likes of Greystones, Maynooth and Cellbridge, and it's believed these will be among the areas where a centralised admission process will be first introduced. Former INTO President and Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen believes the system is welcome as it ensures no child is left without a secondary school place.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
Discover the world of the Ogham script, an ancient form of writing developed by the Celts in Ireland during the early centuries CE. Characterized by linear strokes carved into stone and wood, Ogham is one of Ireland's earliest known alphabets. In this video, we explore its historical origins, cultural significance, and modern interpretations within Paganism. We'll tackle: * The scholarly debate on Ogham's origins and its development. * The significance of Ogham inscriptions found across Ireland and the British Isles. * The role of the Book of Ballymote in preserving Ogham knowledge. * The modern neo-pagan practice of Ogham divination and its tree associations. CONNECT & SUPPORT
It seems that Ogham has made a comeback with it recently showing up in a Coventry Garden, and also on Eurovision entrant Bambie Thug in Sweden. But what exactly is Ogham, and why is it being used again? Joining Seán to explain is Professor David Stifter, Professor for Old and Middle Irish in Maynooth and currently working on the Digitisation of Ogham project ‘Ogham in 3D'. Image: Florian Thiery
