I am obsessed with US politics. Not only is it full of drama and fascinating characters, but the results of this upcoming election could have a real, tangible impact on Ireland. So I wanted to get stuck into all things election-related with one of Ireland's best-known experts on this subject.Larry Donnelly was born in Boston into an Irish-American family steeped in politics – most notably, his uncle Congressman Brian Donnelly, introduced the “Donnelly visa” enabling more Irish people to legally emigrate to the United States. Just over 20-years ago, after a short trip to Ireland, Larry knew that he wanted to move back to the family's ancestral home and he now lives in Co Galway, and lecturers in NUIG.In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast Larry talks about growing up in one of America's most Irish-American cities, the moment that he knew he wanted to move ‘home' to Ireland, how America (and Ireland) has changed in his 20+years in Galway, and why the Trump/Harris election is so hard to call.COMEDY – There's a lot of excitement about Larry's appearance and The Mario Rosenstock Hotline has been hopping! Check out the voicemails from Matt Cooper, President Higgins, Donald J Trump, and Joe Biden! Produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand

The cream of Ireland's young cyber-defenders head to Turin, Italy next month to compete against Europe's elite hackers and cybersecurity in an annual pan-European competition run by ENISA (the EU's cybersecurity body), The European Cyber Security Challenge (www.ecsc.eu) This flagship event has been running since 2016, when Team Ireland were one of ten countries competing. The event has grown every year since then and this year will feature teams of ten from 39 European countries, plus 7 guest countries from outside Europe. European Cyber Security Challenge Team Ireland consists of ten young people, aged from just 16 up to 25, with six of the team being aged 20 or younger. Selection for the team began back in March with the national cybersecurity competition ZeroDays CTF (www.zerodays.ie). This 'Capture-the-Flag' competition has been running since 2015, and saw 140 teams of four from schools, colleges and companies all over Ireland, converge on Croke Park for the annual competition to be crowned Ireland's champions. Teams compete across a range of cybersecurity domains in fun, novel challenges, including cryptography, coding, problem solving, reverse engineering and team challenges such as VR gaming, relay Mario Kart and lockpicking. Individuals who did well in this competition, and in similar more local events, were invited to try out more challenges at www.cybersecuritychallenge.ie, and eligible participants who show promise there were invited to join a squad of around 30 candidates to receive dedicated training, before a final team of ten was chosen at the end of August. This team of ten will now head to Turin to represent Ireland at the European Cyber Security Challenge, a competition that runs across four days of setup, competition and awards. The final team features players from all corners of the country, from Dublin to Belfast to Cork and Donegal, Wexford, Offaly, Galway, it is a very diverse team with different backgrounds and varying skillsets, all of which makes for a stronger team. Team manager Mark Lane, who lectures in cybersecurity at TU Dublin, where the team also trains, said "We've been competing in this competition since 2016, and it's amazing to see it continue to grow. We're up against some European powerhouses who have massive population bases and resourcing, but we've always managed to punch above our weight. I'm really proud of the hard work the team has put in over the last few months, and I'm confident we will do well and continue to improve, as well have some fun while doing it. This year we've had great support from the National Cyber Security Centre, who have awarded us a grant to continue to build on the work with the team, and from our amazing sponsors Cytidel and ReliaQuest, and without them we wouldn't be able to do what we are doing. CTF's have really taken off in the last few years and are, in my opinion, the best way for people to learn cybersecurity skills. It's a very hands-on, and gamified, way to learn, and the competitive side can really spur people on. It's also great to see these young talents develop their skills over time, and to see a real team spirit develop. Over the last couple of years, we have worked hard to make CTFs more mainstream, and we're seeing more schools, coder dojos and colleges taking part. We'd love to see every school in the country taking part. There's a huge skills gap worldwide, including in Ireland, and these events can highlight and encourage cybersecurity as an interesting, varied, and very well-paid career or college choice." Team Bios Cillian Collins, 22, is the Ireland Team Captain. He's a recent graduate from NUIG. Cillian also recently became the first Irish player to be chosen for Team Europe, which takes part in the pan-continental International Cybersecurity Challenge in Chile at the end of October 2024. Dean Brennan, 25, is the team's vice-Captain. Dean is a researcher with Cyber Skills at MTU Cork, where he is currently in the first year of a Ph...

On 8 March 2024, Irish citizens will be asked to vote in two referendums to change our Constitution. The first Referendum concerns the concept of Family in the Constitution. The second Referendum proposes to delete an existing part of the Constitution and insert new text providing recognition for care provided by family members to each other. You have two separate votes on whether you wish to make the proposed changes to the current text of Article 41 of the Constitution. Ailbhe Smyth, an activist in women's rights and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people, is actively campaigning for a yes vote on both amendments, and we chat with her about why that is. She was the founding head of Women's Studies at UCD (University College Dublin) where she began lecturing at the age of 21. She has been campaigning on feminist, LGBTQI+ and socialist issues for decades. She played a key role in the victorious Marriage Equality referendum in 2015. A pro-choice activist since the late 1970s, Ailbhe co-founded the Coalition to Repeal the 8th Amendment and went on to become Co-Director of the Together for Yes 2015 referendum campaign which won the right to abortion for women in Ireland in 2018. A Dublin resident, Ailbhe is currently Chair of Women's Aid Ireland, and Honorary Patron of the Women's Collective Ireland (previously National Collective of Community-based Women's Network). She is a founder member of Climate Justice Coalition, and also of Le Chéile: Diversity not Division which campaigns against the growth of far right extremism. In 2019, Ailbhe was listed as one of Time Magazine's ‘Most Influential People'.

There was a special night in the Raheen Woods Hotel in Athenry last night as 300 people gathered to celebrate the centenary of Galway's victory in the 1923 All Ireland Hurling Championship. Organised by the former Galway hurlers network Baireoiri na Gaillimhe, family members of each member of the 1923 panel were presented with commemorative jerseys, photographs and books marking Galway's first ever All Ireland title at any grade. Special guests included Limericks 1973 All Ireland winners Pat Hartigan and Eamon Grimes, Galway's three surviving All Ireland winning captains Joe Connolly, Conor Hayes and David Burke, and Professor Gearoid O'Tuathaigh from NUIG, among many others. Vincent Mullins and Tom Greene of Baireoiri na Gallimhe joined John Mulligan in studio to talk about the night and a special book that has been produced about the team of 1923.   We also hear from Brian Brennan, Pat O'Toole and Ned Dervan who were speaking to Ollie Turner.   

In this episode we tackles the contentious question: Should we lower the age of consent? This debate arises from a news article featuring Dr. Pádraig MacNeela, a lecturer and sexual health researcher at NUIG, who advocates for a lower age of consent in Ireland.The episode begins by examining Dr. MacNeela's arguments as outlined in the news article. Dr. MacNeela posits that Ireland's age of consent should be lowered due to what he perceives as a contradiction in providing contraception to minors while maintaining a higher age of consent.Niall provides a thorough analysis of this argument, emphasizing that addressing this contradiction should involve discontinuing the provision of contraception to minors rather than lowering the age of consent. He highlights the importance of drawing a clear line between child protection and facilitating behaviors that society deems inappropriate for minors.The podcast delves into Dr. MacNeela's further claims, particularly his assertion that the age of consent should align with the reported sexual activity of teenagers in Ireland. Niall challenges this perspective, underscoring that the law should not solely reflect the actions of a minority while neglecting the majority who are not engaged in such activities.The episode explores the logical implications of lowering the age of consent based on this argument. Niall questions whether it would mean further reducing the age of consent to accommodate even younger teenagers who are sexually active. He illustrates the absurdity of such a notion and underscores the need for setting boundaries in societal regulations.Drawing parallels to age-based regulations in other contexts, Niall emphasizes that the purpose of the law is to guide and shape behavior in society, not merely mirror existing practices. He presents compelling arguments against the idea that the law should conform to current behaviors.Listeners are treated to a diverse range of opinions as Niall opens the phone lines for callers to express their views. The responses from callers vary, with some vehemently opposing the notion of lowering the age of consent due to concerns about potential exploitation. Others argue in favor of the change, citing specific cases where it might protect teenagers from statutory rape charges.To bring a real-life perspective to the discussion, Niall shares a tragic story from a previous episode. The story revolves around a 15-year-old boy who faced statutory rape charges after engaging in consensual sex with his 14-year-old girlfriend. The aftermath of this incident tragically led to the boy's suicide, highlighting the profound consequences of such legal matters.In conclusion, Niall navigates the complexities of this polarizing issue with sensitivity and critical analysis. He acknowledges the potential benefits of adjusting the age of consent to protect teenagers from legal consequences in certain situations. However, he also underscores the need to consider the risks associated with such a change, including the potential for exploitation.Join the conversation on this critical societal issue, explore various viewpoints, and gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies involved.

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in poorer mental health amongst young adults, according to research carried out by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI). To discuss this study Pat was joined on the show by Brendan Kelly Professor of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin and also Fionn Sexton Third Year law and sociology Student at NUIG

A researcher at the National College of Ireland has recently developed an app for the Apple iPad to allow researchers examine social cognition using a touch-screen interface and realistic videos of actors interacting. Social cognition refers to our ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of other people. Social cognition helps us to understand others and plays an important role in our social behaviour. Some individuals, with conditions such as schizophrenia, experience difficulties with social cognition. Research suggests that these difficulties are an important barrier to recovery from mental illness. As such, current research aims to help individuals with social cognition through cognitive therapy or group activities. However, many of the psychological tests used to assess social cognition in research studies require a trained researcher to administer the test, and use unrealistic pictures or cartoons to portray facial expressions and social cues. To address these challenges, Dr David Mothersill, Programme Director and lecturer on the BA (Hons) in Psychology at the National College of Ireland, came up with the novel app for the Apple iPad that allows researchers to examine social cognition using a touch-screen interface and realistic videos of actors interacting. cTOM was designed in collaboration with Professor Gary Donohoe, Professor of Psychology at National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), and the code was developed by Professor. Jim Duggan, Conor O'Grady, and Jennifer Murray from NUIG's School of Computer ScienceThe app is currently being used in research being conducted at NUI Galway and UCD. Computerised Theory of Mind (cTOM) is designed for use by professionals and is free to download here. Dr Mothersill notes: “For the past number of years my research has been focused on improving outcomes for people with schizophrenia, a mental health condition that affects about 3,900 people in Ireland. “A big problem for many people experiencing mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, is stigma. Negative attitudes and behaviours towards people experiencing mental health conditions can affect employment, access to accommodation, and the emotional impact of stigma can be a profound source of suffering. “In young people, mental health stigma is also a barrier to seeking help, which is particularly concerning given that most mental health conditions develop before the age of 24.” Further research on mental health stigma and social cognition In a recent paper, psychologists at the National College of Ireland examined mental health stigma in over 300 people across Ireland ‘Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours towards schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism' in the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine. The results suggest that people have more negative attitudes and behaviours towards schizophrenia compared to some other mental health conditions, and most participants felt they were not informed enough about mental health by the media. Building on this research, a new laboratory has recently been established in the National College of Ireland: the Stigma and Mental Health Ireland (SAMI) Laboratory, directed by Dr April Hargreaves, Dr David Mothersill, and Dr Gerard Loughnane. SAMI has received generous funding from Esther Ireland to carry out further stigma research in a population-representative sample of 1,000 participants in Ireland, and is partnering with The Carter Centre to repeat this research in a further 1,000 participants in Liberia, to compare mental health stigma between Europe and Africa. Ultimately, it is hoped that this research will provide key data for Government policies and campaigns targeting mental health stigma, such as the See Change Green Ribbon campaign.

Huawei Ireland has launched the 2022 edition of its flagship talent programme ‘Seeds for the Future'. Third-level students studying STEM subjects at Irish universities or leaving certificate students considering a third-level course in STEM are eligible to apply. There is a €250K scholarship fund for the programme with the 50 top-performing students each receiving €5,000. The 2022 ‘Seeds for the Future' programme will be limited to 100 students with the course taking place on 24 – 31 October. Since its inception in 2015, over 170 students from Irish universities have benefitted from this unique learning and cultural experience. Students take a variety of basic and advanced courses covering the latest innovations in smart cities, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, 5G, and the Internet of Things. Guest lectures on digital transformation, sustainable technology, and strategic leadership are delivered by Huawei senior engineers and industry thought-leaders. The 2022 programme will also see students take part in team exercises including Huawei's Tech4Good project, which challenges participants to examine how to leverage technology to address pressing social and environmental issues. To apply, students should send their CV, a transcript of their academic records, and an essay of 400 – 600 words or a 2-3 minute motivation video reflecting their interests and why they should be chosen to take part, to seedsireland@huawei.com. Students can also find out more information about the programme through the Seeds for the Future official website. The deadline for submissions is 10 October. Announcing the 2022 scholarship fund, Luke McDonnell, Senior Communications Manager, Huawei Ireland, said: “Despite all the current uncertainty and challenges, we're proud that we can deliver another €250,000 scholarship fund for the Ireland Seeds for the Future programme and that a further 50 students will benefit from a €5,000 bursary. Huawei is committed to creating value for the communities where we operate, and this scholarship fund will go some part of the way in helping students with the rising cost of living. It is important that we do whatever we can to help and nurture the youth of today because they will become the leaders of tomorrow and our future workforce. We will continue to invest in Ireland's future ICT workforce, and we see this scholarship programme as another way to help these students enhance their capabilities as they continue or indeed embark on their studies in STEM.” Students that secure a place on the 2022 programme will be given the unique opportunity to experience virtual tours of Huawei's campuses, the company's flagship store in central Shenzhen, alongside Chinese culture experiences like panda tours, tours of famous landmarks and insights into modern Chinese businesses. The scholarship was awarded in 2021 to the top 50 Seeds graduates from nine universities around the country, with the bulk hailing from TU Dublin, UCD, Trinity, UCC and NUIG. The awarding event was held at TU Dublin's Grangegorman campus, with speeches from Minister for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation Robert Troy TD, Huawei Ireland CEO Tony Yangxu and student representatives.

Tá Emmanuel Macron i ndiaidh an lámh in uachtar a fháil ar Marine Le Pen i dToghchán Uachtaránachta na Fraince. Níor bhain Uachtarán reatha na Fraince an dara téarma amach ó rinne Jacques Chirac é fiche bliain ó shin. Chuir ceannairí éagsúla ar fud na hEorpa fáilte roimh bhua Macron, atá go mór i bhfabhar an Aontais Eorpaigh, cé go bhfuair Le Pen, atá i bhfad amach ar an eite dheis, os cionn 40%, de na vótaí, ardú suntusach ón vóta sa bhliain 2017. Ní raibh iarrthóir ón site chlé sa toghchán réitigh. Athrófar ainm Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh, nó NUIG, go "Ollscoil na Gaillimhe - University of Galway" i mbliana.

Bunaíodh an ollscoil mar Queen's University Galway sa bhliain 1845 ach athraíodh an t-ainm go Coláiste na hOllscoile, Gaillimh in 1908 agus tugadh Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh uirthi in 1997. Lonnaigh an scríbhneoir Breandán Ó hEithir a úrscéal "Lig Sinn i gCathú" i leagan ficseanaithe den ollscoil. Tá imeacht mór Gaelach ar siúl i Londain an deireadh seachtaine seo. Beartaíodh Gaeltacht Chois Tamaise dhá bhliain ó shin, ach cuireadh ar ceal í mar gheall ar phaindéim Covid-19. I mbliana, tá daoine ag taisteal go Londain le haghaidh deireadh seachtaine tumthach. I measc na n-imeachtaí atá ar siúl tá dianchúrsa Gaeilge, Pop Up Gaeltacht agus Comhdháil na Breataine, teacht le chéile ar líne agus ar an láthair de dhaoine ó gach cearn den oileán, chun plé a dhéanamh ar conas an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn sa Bhreatain agus cearta teanga a bhaint amach i dTuaisceart Éireann. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Nicholas Canny is an Emeritus Professor at the National University of Ireland-Galway (NUIG). Since completing his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania he has pursued an influential publishing career spanning the early 1970s until today. He is the author or editor of 11 books and has written over 70 published papers. He was founding Director of the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies at NUIG and served as Director there from 2000-2011 at National University of Ireland Galway. From 2008 to 2011 he was President of the Royal Irish Academy. He has served on the Scientific Council of the European Science Foundation and is a member of the American Philosophical Society. In this interview he discusses his new book Imagining Ireland's Pasts: Early Modern Ireland Through the Centuries (Oxford UP, 2021) through the Centuries which surveys the contradictory ways in which Ireland's different religious, ethnic, and linguistic communities understood the violent events of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Imagining Ireland's Pasts describes how various authors addressed the history of early modern Ireland over four centuries and explains why they could not settle on an agreed narrative. It shows how conflicting interpretations broke frequently along denominational lines, but that authors were also influenced by ethnic, cultural, and political considerations, and by whether they were resident in Ireland or living in exile. The book details how authors extolled the merits of their progenitors, offered hope and guidance to the particular audience they addressed, and disputed opposing narratives. Prof. Canny shows how competing scholars, whether contributing to vernacular histories or empirical studies, became transfixed by the traumatic events of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as they sought to explain either how stability had finally been achieved, or how the descendants of those who had been wronged might secure redress.
