In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Steve Crosbie, former professional rugby player turned founder of Fad Saoil Saunas — one of the pioneers of Ireland's sauna movement. After years playing for Leinster, Munster, and Connacht, Steve walked away from his dream rugby career at just 26. The transition from athlete to entrepreneur wasn't easy, but it led him somewhere unexpected: into the cold Irish sea. Out of heartbreak and healing came Fad Saoil Saunas - a business that began with one barrel sauna at the 40 Foot and grew into a nationwide wellness brand. Steve shares how he rebuilt his identity, how sport shaped his approach to business, and why starting small (and freezing cold) can sometimes lead to the warmest success. If you've ever wondered what happens after the dream ends, this story proves that endings can be the start of something extraordinary. Show Notes In this episode, we cover:

Inquiétude à l'usine Stellantis de Mulhouse. Le groupe a annoncé hier que la production de son site alsacien sera mise à l'arrêt pendant une semaine, du 27 octobre au 02 novembre prochain. Une décision prise pour, je cite, “adapter le rythme à un marché européen difficile”. Environ 2 000 employés sur les 4 000 du site sont concernés par cette mesure. Ailleurs en Europe, d'autres sites Stellantis seront aussi temporairement fermés dans les prochaines semaines, comme à Poissy près de Paris, Eisenach en Allemagne, Saragosse et Madrid en Espagne, Pomigliano en Italie et Tychy en Pologne.Le ton durcit face aux rave-party. Dans un arrêté préfectoral publié hier, le préfet du Bas-Rhin a décidé d'interdire tout rassemblement festif non déclaré sur une période d'un an : dès aujourd'hui et jusqu'au 30 septembre 2026. De quoi faire face aux risques de troubles à l'ordre public. Le transport tout matériel de sonorisation ou d'amplification susceptible d'être utilisé pour ce type de manifestations est aussi interdit dans tout le département, sur la même période.A moins de 6 mois des élections municipales, prévues les 15 et 22 mars prochain, la campagne électorale colmarienne prend forme avec déjà six candidats officiellement déclarés. Parmi eux, Cécile Neyest la première à avoir annoncé sa candidature avec le collectif “Colmar Citoyenne Verte et Solidaire”. Ce dernier revendique une approche démocratique participative, construisant directement son programme avec les habitants. Parmi les membres actifs du collectif figurent notamment Dominique Bourguignon, Bruno Deltour ou encore Flavien Ancely-Frey. Retrouvez l'entretien complet sur notre site, azur-fm.com. Deux hommes interpellés ce week-end en Île-de-France, après des cambriolages chez des joueurs du Racing Club de Strasbourg. Âgés de 28 ans, ils sont soupçonnés d'être entrés dans les demeures d'au moins 3 footballeurs alsaciens pendant des matchs. Le dernier cambriolage date de vendredi dernier, au domicile d'Emmanuel Emegha, qui évoluait alors face à l'Olympique de Marseille au stade de la Meinau. Une partie du butin, estimé à 200 000 euros, a été retrouvée lors des perquisitions. Connus des services de police, les deux jeunes hommes seraient aussi impliqués dans les cambriolages des logements d'Andrey Santos et Kévin Gameiro, qui s'étaient déroulés il y a déjà plusieurs mois. Faits divers toujours, avec un homme placé sous OQTF après une course-poursuite à Orschwiller. Les faits se sont déroulés samedi, aux alentours de 16h30. Lors d'un contrôle de routine, les forces de l'ordre ont repéré un automobiliste avec des plaques d'immatriculation illégales. Refusant de s'arrêter, une course-poursuite s'est engagée. Après avoir perdu le contrôle de son véhicule dans un rond-point entre Saint-Hippolyte et Ribeauvillé, cet homme d'origine étrangère a pris la fuite à pied, avant de se faire rattraper. Ce dernier, qui ne possédait pas de papiers français, a écopé d'une obligation de quitter le territoire français.Hébergé par Ausha.

It's claimed Clare's housing market will be in "real trouble" unless more second-hand stock becomes available. Daft.ie's latest House Price Report shows the number of housing transactions and exisiting homes for sale in Munster both fell last year. In Clare, meanwhile, the average price of a two-bed terraced home soared by 31.5% which is the highest increase of any property type nationwide, while four-bed homes went up by over €35,000. Report Author and Economist Ronan Lyons has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan however there are some positive indications for Clare.
This week we look at Cliodhna, an Irish fairy queen who is a patroness of Munster and also called Queen of the Banshees. This beautiful banshee has a habit of stealing mortal men away from her favored families, though her main legend is the opposite--a mortal man who she loved and with whom she ran away. This has led to the legend of the Tonn Cliodhna, a kind of diastrous tidal wave reminiscent of the one sent to either kill her or return her to her home. We look at the stories of Cliodhna, and how one might look at her stories through the lens of depth psychology.

The latest figures from the Department of Housing show that 16,353 people were homeless or living in emergency accommodation in the State last month. Léiríonn na figiúirí is deireanaí ón Roinn Tithíochta go raibh 16,353 duine gan dídean nó ag cur fúthu i lóistín éigeandála sa Stát an mhí seo caite. This is an increase of 295 on the number of people who were homeless in July. Méadú de 295 is ea é sin ar an líon daoine a bhí gan dídean i mí Iúil. The number of children living in emergency accommodation in August included 5,145, the highest number ever recorded. Áírítear 5,145 leanbh ar na daoine a bhí ina gcónaí i lóistín éigeandála i mí Lúnasa, an líon is mó leanaí a taifeadadh riamh. Commenting on the new figures, Seán Moynihan from the elderly charity Alone said that the number of people over 65 who rented a home had increased by 83% between the last two censuses. Ag trácht dó ar na figiúirí nua, dúirt Seán Moynihan ón gcarthanas do dhaoine aosta Alone gur tháinig méadú de 83 faoin gcéad idir an dá dhaonáireamh dheireanacha ar an líon daoine os cionn 65 bliain d'aois a raibh áras cónaithe ar cíos acu. The situation must have gotten worse, he said, since there are so many people in their fifties and forties who currently don't have a home of their own. Ní foláir nó gur i ndonas a rachas an scéal, arsa sé, ó tá an oiread sin daoine atá sna caogaidí agus sna daichidí faoi láthair nach bhfuil áras cónaithe dá gcuid féin acu. According to the Munster, 25% of the houses to be built by the State should be made available for older people to get ahead of the problem. Dar leis an Muimhneachánach gur cheart 25 faoin gcéad de na tithe atá le tógáil ag an Stát a chur ar fáil do dhaoine aosta le teacht roimh an bhfadhb. He was talking about the commitment in the Government Programme to build over 300,000 homes between now and the end of 2030. Ag caint a bhí sé ar an ngealltanas atá i gClár an Rialtais barr ar 300,000 áras cónaithe a thógáil as seo go deireadh 2030. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

It's been suggested growth must be seen in the retail sector of Shannon and the services offering of Ennis if both towns are to tackle their commercial vacancy problem. The latest quarterly report from GeoDirectory has found that Shannon has the second-highest commercial vacancy rate in the country at 30.8% while Ennis has the ninth-highest in Munster at 19.1%. The data reveals just over 18% of Shannon's commercial units are retail which is below the average of 22%, while Ennis is below the national norm when it comes to the services sector. GeoDirectory CEO Dara Keogh has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons both towns must diversify to bring life back into premises currently lying idle.

The STEM Passport for Inclusion programme is delighted to announce the expansion of its partnership with Fexco, which will contribute €50,000 from 2025 to 2027. This partnership, which began in 2023, has allowed the programme to continue breaking down barriers in STEM education for young women from working-class communities across Ireland. STEM Passport for Inclusion, led by Professor Katriona O'Sullivan at Maynooth University, is designed to address systemic inequality in access to STEM. It empowers Transition Year students with a third-level STEM qualification (Level 6 NFQ) while still in school and pairs them with industry mentors who inspire, guide, and support their journey into STEM careers. The continued investment from Fexco marks a deepened commitment to inclusive innovation. In 2024 alone, 500 post-primary students in Munster benefitted from this partnership, gaining not only STEM education but also mentorship and real opportunities to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. "Through this partnership with Fexco, we are ensuring that young women, who are often left out of the STEM conversation, have a seat at the table," said Professor Katriona O'Sullivan, Programme Director of STEM Passport for Inclusion. "This donation will help us continue our mission to provide equal opportunities in STEM education and inspire the next generation of innovators." Fexco, a long-time champion of innovation and inclusion, has been an essential supporter of the initiative over the past two years. Their involvement goes beyond funding, as Fexco employees serve as mentors, role models, and advocates for the next generation of STEM leaders. They are also committed to offering students valuable work experience, helping to build a strong and diverse future workforce. "We are incredibly proud to support the STEM Passport for Inclusion programme," said Neil Hosty, CEO of Fexco. "We believe in the power of education to transform lives and are committed to promoting inclusivity in STEM fields. This partnership aligns with our values of innovation, education, and community. By investing in these young women, we are investing in Ireland's future." The STEM Passport for Inclusion programme is made possible through collaboration with educational and industry partners, including Research Ireland, the Department of Education, Microsoft Dream Space, Munster Technological University, and the RDI Hub. Together, these partners are building a more inclusive STEM ecosystem nationwide. To celebrate the impact of the partnership, an awards event took place at the RDI Hub in Killorglin recently, honouring the achievements of students, mentors, and programme champions.

This is the story of one of Australia’s most electrifying athletes — and a man who has lived through moments of both triumph and heartbreak that transcend sport. Cameron Munster takes us inside the harrowing day he learned of his father’s passing, right in the middle of the most important State of Origin preparation of his life. From the couch as a kid — pizza in hand, wide-eyed as the mighty Queensland Maroons went to war — to carving out his own unforgettable Origin moments on the biggest stage of all, Munster’s journey is raw, inspiring and deeply human. We dive into the highs of Premiership glory with the Melbourne Storm, and the crushing lows of defeat on the final day. We explore the famed Storm culture, the uncompromising influence of Craig Bellamy, and how those around him have shaped Munster not just into a brilliant footballer, but into a bigger, better person. This is more than rugby league. It’s about resilience, redemption and what it takes to rise when life throws its toughest challenges your way. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the couch as a kid — pizza in hand, wide-eyed as the mighty Queensland Maroons went to war — to carving out his own unforgettable Origin moments on the biggest stage of all, Munster’s journey is raw, inspiring and deeply human. We dive into the highs of Premiership glory with the Melbourne Storm, and the crushing lows of defeat on the final day. We explore the famed Storm culture, the uncompromising influence of Craig Bellamy, and how those around him have shaped Munster not just into a brilliant footballer, but into a bigger, better person. This is more than rugby league. It’s about resilience, redemption and what it takes to rise when life throws its toughest challenges your way. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are as near to Heaven by sea as by land.” On this day, 9 September 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert's tiny ship, the Squirrel, disappeared in an Atlantic storm, and an audacious Elizabethan life ended in a flash of foam and darkness. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and today we follow Gilbert's extraordinary arc: Devon gentleman and half-brother to Sir Walter Ralegh; soldier praised at Newhaven and feared in Munster for brutal tactics; polemicist for a Northwest Passage and English colonisation; MP who clashed in Parliament; and, finally, patent-holder who sailed to Newfoundland and claimed St John's for Queen Elizabeth I, before disaster struck on the homeward voyage. In this episode: Gilbert's powerful family network (Kat Ashley & the Ralegh connection) Soldier and strategist: praise in France, terror in Ireland Pen and policy: A Discourse of a Discoverie & dreams of an academy The 1583 voyage: The Delight, the Golden Hind, the Swallow, and the fateful Squirrel Claiming St John's—and losing men, charts, and nerve in a wreck The storm off the Azores and Gilbert's haunting last words Legacy: how his vision fed later English ventures in the New World If you enjoy these daily Tudor deep dives, please like, subscribe, and ring the bell so you don't miss the next one. #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #Elizabethan #Exploration #Newfoundland #SirHumphreyGilbert #WalterRaleigh
