Bhí fáiltiú tae beag á óstail ag an tUachtarán Connolly do ghrúpaí Bótháin na mBan agus na bhFear in Áras an Uachtaráin. Ar fud na hÉireann, tá bóthain ag éirí níos tábhachtaí mar spásanna do cheangail agus cuspóir. Ó insealbhaíodh í, thug an tUachtarán Connolly cuairt ar roinnt bótháin ar fud na tíre agus chonaic sí a luach go pearsanta. President Connolly hosted an afternoon tea reception for Women's and Men's Sheds groups in Áras an Uachtaráin. Across Ireland, sheds have increasingly become vital spaces of connection and purpose. Since her inauguration, President Connolly has visited a number of sheds nationwide and witnessed their great value first hand.

Wear an Easter LilyEaster is only days away. This Sunday will mark 110 years since the momentous events of Easter Week 1916 and the declaration of Independence and equality contained in the Proclamation. It is also the centenary of the sale of the first Easter Lilies which were designed in 1925 by Cumann na mBan to raise funds for the Irish Republican Prisoners Dependants Fund.In the 100 years since then thousands of women and men have been imprisoned in defence of the Irish peoples' right to national self-determination and each year Easter Lilies are sold in their tens of thousands to support them and their families and to honour the sacrifice of those who died in pursuit of freedom.Micheál Martin is stalling on UnityAn Taoiseach Micheál Martin was the first guest to participate in a new six part series of the podcast, ‘How to Gael' under the title – ‘How to Unite Ireland?”The 40 minute interview - can be heard on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/01Mg0w8UDawINdgeX45IvVIt was conducted by Doireann Ní Ghlacáin and Louise Cantillon, who in her opening commentary described their series as an exploration of the “lived experiences that shape how people feel about unity. It's a complex and sensitive topic, and the series creates space for open, informed and respectful conversation."The interview with Micheál Martin provided an opportunity for the Fianna Fáil leader to restate his long standing position on issues as diverse as the history of Fianna Fáil, his refusal to work with Sinn Féin, the Shared Island project, reconciliation and Irish Unity, the Good Friday Agreement and border poll, and talking to loyalists.The surprise of the two interviewers at Martin's claim that Fianna Fáil is a republican party was genuine and an interesting insight into how that party is viewed by many young people. Time and again Martin returned to his central thesis of reconciliation as a pre-condition to reunification. He said: “My philosophy is it has to be about the unity of people, insofar as you can go, it's not just about territory.”Donegal /The Swallows Tail – A song by Davie FureyNext week my first expedition into the recording world of music will be launched when singer and songwriter Davie Furey releases ‘Donegal/The Swallow's Tail', his first single of 2026.I have known Davie a long time. When I sent him a copy of a small book of poems I had written he especially liked ‘Tir Chonaill Thuaith.' He asked me if he could include it in a new song he proposed writing around the poem. I said yes. But then he asked if he could record me reciting the poem as part of the single.

Mercosur is a bad deal.The European Commission has backed a free trade agreement with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The European Parliament is set to decide on the future of the Mercosur Agreement. It has taken twenty-five years to get to this point. The European Commission has decided to support this proposition and the smart money says the Parliament will follow suit. But perhaps not. It's not over until it's over. There will be a legal challenge to the deal, including Sinn Féin's MEPs, and a vote in the European Parliament. Sinn Féin is also bringing forward a Dáil motion calling on the government to support the legal action and mandating all MEPs to vote against the deal. Nollaig na mBanSome of the traditions that surround Christmas and the New Year celebrations have changed over recent years. For example, when I was growing up Christmas decorations didn't start appearing in homes until a fortnight or so before the 25th December. Now, Halloween is barely over before Christmas decorations start appearing. Previously also, the tree, crib, and the rest all stayed in place until 6 January – the Feast of the Epiphany, the date on which it is said that the three wise men visited the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. This year decorations were mostly down from the start of the new year. And already Easter eggs are in the shops. However, one celebration that has taken on a new lease of life is Nollaig na mBan - Women's Christmas. It is celebrated on 6 January. It used to be confined to rural areas but that is changing.  Nollaig na mBan is the day when the role of women, who generally did  all the work for Christmas, was celebrated. It was the day when women get together with other women and enjoy a brief few hours of celebration on their own. Progress on Casement ParkLast week the draft budget for the Executive, announced by Finance Minister John O'Dowd, included an allocation of an additional £40 million toward the rebuilding of the new Casement Stadium.Sadly, despite the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and its principles of equality and parity of esteem, the decades since then have produced many examples of political unionism continuing to resist investment and funding allocation for nationalist areas. Casement Park is a case in point.Last week's announcement is a positive and welcome development.Irish Unity Must be Priority for EU PresidencyOn 1st July the Irish government will assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This will be its eighth time holding this key administrative and political role within the EU and the first time since Brexit. The agenda for this Presidency is enormous and will affect all of our lives. It will include new legislation as well as significant negotiations around all of the major national and international issues affecting the world at this time – the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the war in Ukraine, Venezuela, threatened US Foreign Policy adventures toward Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Nigeria and Iran, famine in Africa, climate change and migration.An Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defined the state's Presidency of the EU as “a Presidency defined by action.”All sounds impressive. But so far no one in the Irish government has said anything about using this unique opportunity to raise the issue of Irish Unity. Thus far, Micheál Martin's approach to Irish Unity can best be described as “a leadership defined by inaction.”

January 6th marks Nollaig na mBan — Women's Christmas — a traditional Irish day that honours women's unseen work and the need for rest after the intensity of Christmas.In this short DAM Parenting episode, Eva shares why January was never meant to be about productivity, motivation, or “starting fresh” — especially for mothers carrying the mental load of family life.This episode explores:What Nollaig na mBan (Women's Christmas) really isWhy winter is a season of pause, not pressureThe invisible labour women carry — especially at ChristmasA gentler way to enter the new year as a parentWhether you're an expat, immigrant parent, or raising children far from home, this episode is an invitation to slow down — without guilt.Listen now for a moment of reflection, recognition, and rest. If this episode resonates, share it with another mother — or claim your own Nollaig na mBan today.

January 6th marks Nollaig na mBan, traditionally when women could have a day of rest after Christmas. While the holiday might not be observed regularly across the country, people are still looking for opportunities to celebrate the women in their lives. Muraed Hughes is one of the organisers of the Nollaig na mBan Festival in Dublin Northern Inner City.

Today is Nollaig na mBan, a day traditionally dedicated to recognizing the women who carried the workload over Christmas. As many head out to celebrate with friends, it raises an interesting question: is Nollaig na mBan still relevant today?Is it a feminist tradition, or has it become a capitalist one?Joining Andrea to discuss is Wellness Advocate, Keri Deeney, Irish Independent Columnist, Mary McCarthy and Fashion Broadcaster Rosalind Lipsett.
