Cur síos ar an droch thimpiste a tharla ar Bhóthar Bhailt Átha Fhirdhia i mBaile Ghib gar do Dhú Deaglgan co. Lú san oíche Dé Sathair bhásaigh cúigear sa timpiste.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an cúigiú lá déag de mhí na Samhna. Is mise Niall Ó Siadhail.Insealbhaíodh Catherine Connolly mar Uachtarán na hÉireann Dé Máirt, ag searmanas i Halla Naomh Pádráig taobh istigh de Chaisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath. Bhí gaolta agus cairde an Uachtaráin nua i láthair, chomh maith le ceannairí polaitiúla na hÉireann agus an triúr iarUachtarán a mhaireann, Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese agus Micheál D. Ó hUiginn. Cuireadh tús leis an ócáid le beannachtaí ó cheannairí na gcreideamh éagsúil sa tír agus ansin thug Connolly an mionn oifige as Gaeilge agus as Béarla. Ina hóráid luaigh sí na téamaí is tábhachtaí di ina téarma mar Uachtarán: an tsíocháin, neodracht na hÉireann, an ghéarchéim aeráide agus ról na Gaeilge i saol na hÉireann. Is í Connolly an deichiú hUachtarán i stair an stáit agus an tríú bean sa ról. Tá grúpa agóideoirí bundúchasacha i ndiaidh imshuí a chur ar an bhealach isteach go Comhdháil na bPáirtithe nó COP30, imeacht atá ar siúl in Belém i dtuaisceart na Brasaíle faoi láthair. Tá an lucht agóide ag iarraidh ar rialtas na Brasaíle stop láithreach a chur leis na tionscadail forbartha ar fad atá ag tarlú san Amasóin, lena n-áirítear mianadóireacht, lománaíocht, druileáil ola agus tógáil iarnróid nua. Cé go bhfuil an dífhoraoisiú tite 50% le trí bliana anuas, tá an tUachtarán Lula ag brath ar thacaíocht earnáil na talmhaíochta agus cáineadh é as neamhaird a thabhairt ar fhadhbanna móra a bhaineann leis an athrú aeráide.Bhí bua stairiúil ag foireann sacair na hÉireann oíche Déardaoin nuair a bhuaigh siad ar an Phortaingéil a dó a náid i Staid Aviva, toradh a tháinig aniar aduaidh ar lucht leanúna agus lucht anailíse sacair araon. Fuair Troy Parrott as Baile Átha Cliath dhá chúl sa chéad leath agus ansin sa dara leath tugadh cárta dearg do Cristiano Ronaldo, an chéad chárta dearg dá ghairm idirnáisiúnta i ndiaidh 226 cluiche. Bua mór a bhí ann do bhainisteoir fhoireann na hÉireann Heimir Hallgrímsson fosta. Bhí an tÍoslannach faoi bhrú i ndiaidh drochthorthaí go luath san fheachtas seo, lena n-áirítear cluiche a cailleadh i gcoinne na hAirméine. Ní thig leis na himreoirí ceiliúradh a dhéanamh go fóill, áfach. Le deis a bheith acu áit a bhaint amach i gCorn an Domhain i Meiriceá Thuaidh an bhliain seo chugainn, caithfidh siad an bua a fháil in aghaidh na hUngáire Dé Domhnaigh, cluiche a bheidh an-doiligh ar fad.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Harry McGee and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The inauguration of Ireland's 10th president in in St Patrick's Hall, Dublin Castle, on Tuesday, saw Catherine Connolly deliver a stirring address, amid a real testament to the health of democracy in this country, with all sides coming together after an at times brutal election campaign. Perhaps this is something our immediate neighbours and those across the Atlantic could one day emulate. · The Government's long-awaited housing plan, Delivering Homes, Building Communities, was published this week with the focus firmly on lifting families out of homelessness. A target of 300,000 new homes by 2030, ramping up the role of the Land Development Agency, and greatly reducing red tape when delivering homes, are some aspects of a plan that needs to become a reality if this Government is to be judged a success. · And Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin faces continued pressure over the failed Jim Gavin presidency campaign, but Wednesday's parliamentary party meeting revealed that the review of the campaign will now not be completed until early December. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The BBC makes mistakes but shouldn't bend to Donald Trump's will, Mark Paul on accents and belonging, and how Ireland's forthcoming presidency of the European Council should focus the 'hot mess of uncoordinated gibberish' of some policy positions here.

C'est une page sombre de l'histoire irlandaise. Jusqu'à la fin des années 1970, des milliers d'enfants, pauvres ou orphelins, étaient placés par les tribunaux, sous la tutelle de religieuses, dans des institutions censées les éduquer. Or, ces « écoles » dites industrielles furent souvent le théâtre de violences – physiques, psychologiques et sexuelles –, infligées à des générations d'enfants. Quatre survivants, trois femmes et un homme, ont vécu pendant près de deux mois dans la rue, devant le Parlement de Dublin. Emmitouflée dans plusieurs pulls, Miriam se tient devant la tente qu'elle a partagée avec trois autres survivants durant 52 jours. Placée bébé à l'école industrielle de Tralee, dans l'ouest de l'Irlande, elle raconte, à 68 ans aujourd'hui, l'enfer que les religieuses faisaient subir aux enfants « La première chose que les Sœurs faisaient, c'est te voler ton nom pour t'attribuer un numéro : le mien, c'était 1-0-6-1. Elles t'arrachaient ta personnalité, ta dignité, ta voix… Nous n'allions jamais nulle part, nous n'avions ni dentifrice, ni savon, et jamais d'eau chaude. Nos journées se résumaient à coudre, à travailler, pour des gens de dehors. Et pour cela, nous n'avons jamais été payés », témoigne-t-elle. En plus du travail forcé, les religieuses – dont la « charité » n'avaient que le nom – infligeaient aux enfants violences et humiliations. « Elles t'attachaient nue à un lit, l'une d'elles comptait, et elles te frappaient cent fois. Et elles forçaient tes frères et sœurs, et tes amis, à regarder… », se souvient-elle avec effroi. Ces écoles industrielles font partie de ces institutions gérées conjointement par l'État irlandais et l'Église, tout au long du XXe siècle. L'un des plus grands scandales du pays, au même titre que les couvents de la Madeleine, où plus de 30 000 femmes – considérées impures – étaient condamnées à travailler sans relâche, exploitées par les nonnes. Selon James Gallen, professeur et spécialiste des institutions religieuses à la Dublin City University (DCU), après huit siècles de domination britannique, l'Église catholique a su profiter à cette époque de la fragilité d'un État tout juste sorti de la guerre civile pour étendre son emprise. « L'Irlande nouvellement indépendante était en proie à une profonde insécurité sur son identité. On craignait de découvrir que les Irlandais étaient incapables de se gouverner eux-mêmes, que notre idéal d'une Irlande sainte et catholique n'était qu'une illusion. C'est pourquoi les autorités étaient très déterminées à présenter l'Irlande comme un pays moralement pur », explique-t-il. Depuis presque deux mois, les quatre survivants affirmaient ne vivre que d'eau et de café. Et pourtant, rien n'a entamé la force du groupe, selon Miriam : « Je pense que c'est parce que nous avons souffert enfants : nous sommes des survivants, et c'est pour ça que nous sommes plus forts qu'ils ne le pensent. Ils commencent seulement à comprendre la résilience et la détermination que nous avons. Nous resterons ici jusqu'à ce que nous obtenions ce que le gouvernement nous a promis. » Et c'est enfin chose faite ! Mardi, le Premier ministre irlandais, Micheál Martin, les a appelés à mettre fin à leur mouvement. Les grévistes de la faim devraient désormais bénéficier de soins médicaux gratuits, ainsi que d'un soutien financier. Le soulagement pour Miriam, qui dit s'être battue non seulement pour elle, mais aussi pour les 4 000 autres survivants des écoles industrielles irlandaises.  À lire aussiIrlande: exhumation de 796 bébés d'un foyer religieux, «nous pensions que ce jour n'arriverait jamais»

Taoiseach Micheál Martin, leader of Fianna Fáil and TD for Cork South Central

A Clare homeless charity has branded comments by the Taoiseach on homelessness as "disappointing" and says they ignore the "deeply traumatic" effects of living in emergency accommodation. Micheál Martin has come under fire for claiming homelessness figures are "a bit like hospital waiting lists" in that "it's not the number on the waiting list; it's how fast you get treated". Focus Ireland has called the statement a "poor choice of words", saying "people go to hospitals because they are sick; they do not have to become homeless". Head of Policy and Communications at Novas, which operates a small family hub in Ennis, Una Burns, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons regardless of how much time people spend with homeless services, the experience often leaves long-lasting wounds.

After a bruising presidential campaign, Micheál Martin is facing perhaps the biggest challenge of his political life, after 14 years at the top is he finally running out of road? And how will we remember the 2025 Aras race? Host: Fionnán Sheehan Guest: John Downing See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clare's Minister of State is not any expecting any sudden challenge to the Taoiseach's leadership. It's understood that 10 members of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party have signed a document seeking a no confidence motion in Micheál Martin, where 12 are required. Party officials at Fianna Fáil have darwn up an alleged 'rebel' list of those who oppose the Taoiseach's reign, which includes TDs James O'Connor, Paudie O'Sullivan, Seamus McGrath, John Lahart, Erin McGreehan, John McGuinness and Peter Chap Cleere. There's a separate list detailing the "old guard" of Willie O'Dea, Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher and Seán O'Fearghail, who are not behind any heave, but would reportedly welcome change. The developments have been sparked by the Jim Gavin presidential debacle, and now many political analysts are touting Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan as the potential successor. However, Tulla based Minister Timmy Dooley can't see anyone stepping up in the current climate. Micheál Martin has been at the helm of Fianna Fáil for 14 years now, which is the joint second longest reign at the party, tied with Bertie Ahern and only beaten by Éamon De Valera who was in office for 33 years. Despite the controversey of recent weeks, Clare Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe insists that Martin's leadership is not in question and that he intends to lead the party into the next General Election.

Aoife Nic Giolla Coda's love of beekeeping was passed down from her father, Micheál, who founded Galtee Honey Farm in 1970. When her father neared retirement, Aoife returned home to take over Galtee Honey Farm, determined to continue her family's work protecting Ireland's native black bee. Today, Aoife carries on that family legacy, managing more than 170 colonies of Native Irish Black Honey Bees spread across the Galtee Vee Valley - where the counties of Tipperary, Limerick, and Cork meet. In this episode of Food Matters, Aoife joins Mick Kelly of GIY to talk about the bond between bees and the environment, the hidden dangers of imported bees, and how simple choices like buying Irish honey can help sustain biodiversity, pollinators, and rural communities.

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.

Where now for Micheál Martin?The decision by Fianna Fáil Presidential candidate Jim Gavin to withdraw from the contest means the race is now between Independent Catherine Connolly and Fine Gael's Heather Humphreys.But what of the man who asked Gavin to stand? Suffice to say I am not a supporter of Micheál Martin. There is nothing personal in this. I have seen at close quarters how he works and I am not impressed. How Fianna Fáil responds to this debacle which its leader landed it in will determine how it faces into the future. Because the process by which Jim Gavin became the Fianna Fail candidate says more about Fianna Fáil and how Micheál Martin runs it than anything else. No leader can ignore or disregard the views of grassroots or other activists. Diktat may keep a leader in place if he has the guile and resilience to survive. But for what purpose?  Especially for a party which is proclaims itself to be republican. Micheál's instinct will be to brazen it out. But he can only do that if the party lets him. And that risks the party completely losing its sense of itself.Mr. Martins negative approach to the Good Friday Agreement and the Unity Referendum it provides for amounts to a refusal to fulfil his obligations under the Good Friday Agreement, the Irish Constitution and Fianna Fáil's own aims and objectives.The Orange and the Green. Another friend of mine died last week. An Orangeman, Ian Milne. He was also an undertaker. I met Ian in 2003 in Dublin Castle when he spoke at The Forum for Peace and Reconciliation. I thought it was a very good initiative by him in an effort to find a resolution of the Drumcree stand-off caused when the Portadown Orangemen refused to accept a ruling by the Parades Commission preventing them from marching down Garvaghy Road. After the event we bumped into each other in the Men's Room. In those days Men's Rooms were the main venue for the many first informal off the record words between me and some unionists. I told him that Sinn Féin would talk to the Orange if that would be helpful.  Ian was very friendly although he was at pains to tell me that he wouldn't reveal at that time that he talked to me. Eventually we did do the meeting with some Portadown Orangemen. It was in Conway Mill and while it didn't resolve the issues it was a very worthwhile and informative discussion. It's good to talk. And to listen. Ian was also in dialogue with Seán Murray for over twenty years as part of their efforts to advance reconciliation.
