Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an 14ú lá de mhí an Mheithimh. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin.Sheol Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump comhaltaí de Gharda Náisiúnta agus de mhuirshaighdiúirí na tíre go Los Angeles an tseachtain seo chun dul i ngleic leis na hagóidí sa chathair. Dúirt Gobharnóir an Stáit, Gavin Newsom, go raibh ordú Trump mídhleathach agus gur chruthaigh sé níos mó fadhbanna sa chathair. Caitheadh buidéil agus clocha le póilíní, cuireadh cairr trí thine, agus scaoil na póilíní piléir rubair leis an slua. Thosnaigh an clampar mar fhrithghníomhnú in aghaidh nan-oifigeach inimirce atá ag déanamh ruathar ar inimircigh nach bhfuil na cáipéisí cuí acu. De réir Newsom, bhí Trump ag iarraidh géarchéim a chruthú lena ordú agus nach raibh an t-údarás aige an Garda Náisiúnta a sheoladh go dtí an Stát. Gheall sé godtabharfadh sé cás in éadan an Uachtaráin. Tá ordú cuirfiú i bhfeidhm sa chathair anois thar oíche.Ghabh forsaí míleata Iosrael seilbh ar ghníomhaithe ar son na Palaistíne agus a luamh an ‘Madleen' amach ó chósta Gaza maidin Dé Luain. Bhí na gníomhaithe ag iarraidh soláthairtí bia agus leighis a thabhairt go dtí an Stráice agus aird an domhaina tharraingt ar an ngorta atá ar siúl ansan fé láthair. Bhí an gníomhaí aeráide Greta Thunberg ar an mbád, mar aon leis an bhFeisire de Pharlaimint na hEorpa, Rima Hassan. Ghabh na forsaí míleata seilbh ar an long in uiscí idirnáisiúnta, rud a cháinAmnesty International go géar agus iad ag rá gur scrios forsaí Iosrael an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Dúirt an Tánaiste Simon Harris gur ábhar náireach é agus go raibh an domhan iomlán ag thabhairt neamhaird ar an ngéarchéim dhaonnúil in Gaza. Díbríodh Thunberg agus trí ghníomhaí eile thar n-ais chuig a dtíortha dúchais Dé Máirt; tá na gníomhaithe eile ag cur in aghaidh na n-orduithe díbeartha. Tá an t-amhránaí agus cumadóir amhrán mór le rá Brian Wilson ar shlí na fírinne. Bhí sé ar dhuine de bhunaitheoirí an bhanna ceoil, The Beach Boys, sna seascaidí agus bhí sé ina cheann feadhna ar an ngrúpa ó thaobh an cheoil de. Bhain The BeachBoys cáil amach mar gheall ar a bhfoinn bhinne agus an nasc idir a gceol agus an cultúr surfála, rud atá le clos sna hamhráin ar nós “Surfin' USA', “Surfin' Safari” agus “Surfer Girl”. Is é an t-albam “Pet Sounds” an ceirnín a bhfuil an cháil is mó air, agus,de réir go leor daoine, is é an t-albam is fearr a taifeadadh riamh. D'fhulaing Wilson le fabhanna meabhairshláinte le linn a shaoil, agus de réir a chomhpháirtithe sa ghrúpa, mhéadaigh a úsáid drugaí, go háirithe LSD, a chuid fabhanna. Bhí blianta corracha aige sna seachtóidí agus sna hochtaidí, ach tháinig feabhas ar a shaol arís nuair a phós sé Melinda Ledbetter in 1995 agus chuaigh sé thar n-ais ar camchúirt. Fágann sé oidhreacht ollmhór ar an gceol agus ar an gcultúr den bhfichiú haois.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Tánaiste Simon Harris discusses the Irish government's position on Israel's ongoing attacks on Iran.

We try to unpack the tortured calculus of the Government's rental plan. One thing's clear - if it delivers, it won't be anytime soon. And is there now a danger people could simply tune out, as with hospital trollies? The Opposition remains united on Israeli war bonds, again hammering the Coalition. Simon Harris pushes ahead with Triple Lock reform.

President Higgins slams a "slander against Ireland" over its criticism of Israel. Simon Harris slams the Opposition over deploying "brickbats" and "moral superiority".

Siobhan Brown, daughter of murdered GAA chairman Sean Brown, discusses the family's meeting with Tánaiste, Simon Harris, as the family campaigns for a full public inquiry.

Tá an Tánaiste agus an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála, Simon Harris, le miniú dá chomhleacaithe ag cruinniú an rialtais ar maidin go léiríonn an margadh a rinne na Stáit Aontaithe agus an Ríocht Aontaithe an tseachtain seo caite gur dóigh go mbeidh tairifí mar ghné buan de chursaí trádála feasta.

Last week Tánaiste Simon Harris said that a ban on social media for under 16s is under serious consideration.But, around a year ago, the primary schools in the town of St Albans, just north of London, took the collective decision to address the problem and pleaded with parents to delay giving their children smartphones until they turned 14.This kick started a movement in the town to restrict phone access to children.Joining Seán for more on this is Head of Schools at Cunningham Hill Schools, Matthew Tavender.

Simon Harris had a difficult general election campaign as Fine Gael leader and has since faced criticism that he has not learned from mistakes in his new roles as Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs. On today's podcast he tells Jack Horgan-Jones and Hugh Linehan that his style of politics won't change. He also answers questions about policy issues including housing, the Occupied Territories Bill, a proposed levy on streamers like Netflix and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dúirt an Tánaiste Simon Harris go raibh sé i dteagmháil lena chomhghleacaithe san Ísiltír agus sa Spáinn faoi go mbeadh athbhreithniú ar an gcaidreamh trádála atá idir an tAontas agus Iosrael.

Pat Leahy and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· On the same day that the US agreed a trade deal with the UK, the European Commission unveiled a second, larger package of retaliatory tariffs – this was in response to the absence of negotiation from the US on what they actually want. Thankfully for Ireland, our biggest export to the US, pharmaceuticals, remained untouched, this is welcome news given the warnings from the Department of Finance this week.· The procrastination around the Occupied Territories Bill has been going on for years. Tánaiste Simon Harris has indicated that there may be some movement as he will seek approval from the Government to begin the process of drafting the legislation, but it likely wouldn't be discussed in the Dáil before autumn. · The Catholic Church have a new leader, confirmed on Thursday evening, Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost was an outside bet to succeed Pope Francis and is the first pope from the United States. Another 69-year-old taking up a prominent position is Germany's new federal chancellor Freidrich Merz.· And the panel give their reaction to the decision by People Before Profit TD Ruth Coppinger to refuse to answer a question posed by a Gript journalist at the Dáil plinth on Wednesday.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The continued inertia fueling the housing crisis, the misery of Prince Harry, and the story of The Irish Times' most famous front page. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Leo XIV becomes the first North American pope; RTÉ demands 'discussion' on Israel's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest; and Tánaiste Simon Harris calls for a social media ban for children under the age of 16.Joe O'Shea, editor of Cork Beo, and Jennifer Horgan, Irish Examiner Columnist and secondary school teacher, join The Last Word to discuss the week's trending stories.Catch the full chat by pressing the 'Play' button on this page!

It's the annual Summer Movie Wager! Our friends BJ Colangelo, Germain Lussier, and Peter Sciretta return to make their wagers along with the Filmcast crew, on this summer's box office. Come back in the fall to see who will reign supreme as the winner of the 2025 wager. You can play along at thesummermoviewager.com. To be considered for the leaderboard, you must enter by Wednesday April 30, 2025. We're making video versions of our reviews!

Weekly Plugs David - Decoding TV Devindra - Engadget Podcast: Pixel 9a review + Bracing for tariffs Jeff - runjeffrun.com The Summer Movie Wager is a game that we play during the summer of each year. You can find the history of the game and play along at thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for putting that site together). The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, in the correct order. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager will begin on May 1, 2025 (with the release of Thunderbolts) and last through September 1, 2025, Labor Day, as usual.  Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules:  -If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it.  -If your picked movie for 2-9  is correct, you score 10 points for it.  -If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it.  -If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it.  -If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it.  -If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it.  -For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it. Germain's Top 10 1.

A huge security operation is underway in Vatican City today ahead of Pope Francis's funeral tomorrow. At least 200,000 people are expected to attend Saturday's outdoor service at St Peter's Square. It will draw heads of state and government from around the world, including US President Donald Trump, while President Michael D Higgins, Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tanáiste Simon Harris are all expected to attend. President Higgins and his wife Sabina will pay their respects at the Pope's lying in state today. Other world leaders, including Donald Trump, are expected to arrive in Rome this evening. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Fr Brendan Quinlivan and Bishop Fintan Monahan.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an dara lá déag de mhí Aibreáin. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin.Bhí an stocmhargadh ina chíor thuathail an tseachtain seo tar éis fhógra Donald Trump go mbeadh taraifí á ngearradh ag na Stáit Aontaithe ar earraí ó thíortha ar fud na cruinne. Bhí eagla ag infheisteoirí go gcuirfeadh na taraifí tús le cogadh trádála agus, dá bharr san, le cúlú eacnamaíochta chomh maith. Bhí an chuma orthu go raibh an ceart acu Dé Céadaoin nuair a chuir Trump taraifí móra ar an tSín agus ansan nuair a d'fhreagraíodar le taraif bhreise de 84%. Bhí imní ann go leanfadh an cion sa chion so ar aghaidh ar feadh tamall eile ach ansan d'athraigh Trump a mheon agus chuir sé briseadh 90 lá ar na taraifí ar bheagnach gach tír seachas an tSín. Tháinig borradh faoi na stocmhargaí an lá dár gcionn mar gheall ar an athrú intinne so. Le linn an ruaille buaille go léir, chuaigh an Tánaiste Simon Harris go Washington Dé Céadaoin chun cruinniú a fháil le hoifigigh ó Rialtas na Stát Aontaithe. Is léir go bhfuil Rialtas na hÉireann buartha faoi luaineacht Trump agus go háirithe a gheallúint go gcuirfeadh sé taraifí ar tháirgí cógaisíochta chun comhlachtaí a mhealladh thar n-ais go Meiriceá. Dá bhfágfadh na comhlachtaí san an tír, chaillfeadh Éire sciar maith dá cuid cáin chorparáide, chomh maith leis na mílte post.Cé go raibh aimsir bhreá thirim in Éirinn an tseachtain seo, bhí fadhbanna le tinte portaigh i gcúpla ceantar chomh maith. Bhí scrios déanta ar an gCnoc Colbha agus ar an mBearnas Mór i nDún na nGall nuair a thosnaigh loscadh tráthnóna Dé Domhnaigh. Sheol Seirbhís Dóiteáin Dhún na nGall cúig aonad dóiteáin agus héileacaptar amach chun dul i ngleic leis an loscadh. Bhí loscadh sléibhe sna Beanna Boirche i gContae an Dúin an tseachtain seo chomh maith agus bhí níos mó ná 75 coimhraiceoir dóiteáin ag tabhairt faoi na tinte. Meastar gur coirloscadh atá i gceist. Tá amhras ann gur coirloscadh is cúis leis an ndamáiste a bhí déanta ar an gcosán siúlóide sa pháirc náisiúnta i Maigh Eo freisin. Cuireadh drochbhail ar an siúlbhealach le linn na hoíche ag an deireadh seachtaine agus dúirt an tSeirbhís Páirceanna Náisiúnta agus Fiadhúlra go bhfuil siad croíbhriste mar gheall air. Tá fiosrú ar bun anois chun fáil amach conas – nó cé – a thosnaigh an loscadh.Chuaigh buíon mac léinn ó Ollscoil na Banríona i mBéal Féirste i mbun agóide an tseachtain seo mar gheall ar an easpa comharthaí dátheangacha ar an gcampas. D'eagraigh an Cumann Gaelach an agóid agus fuaireadar breis is 1,000 síniú ó mhic léinn ag tacú leis an bhfeachtas, ‘éacht a léiríonn an tacaíocht agus an tsuim atá ag pobal na hollscoile sa Ghaeilge', de réir Uachtarán an Chumann Ghaelaigh Anna Nic Gafraidh. Bhíodh comharthaí dátheangacha san fhoirgneamh aontas mac léinn ach baineadh anuas iad in 1997. Tá an grúpa “Aontachtaithe Óga” i gcoinne na gcomharthaí dátheangacha agus iad ag maíomh go gcosnóidís an iomarca agus go gcruthóidís atmaisféar doicheallach. Ach dúirt Eoghan Ó Conghaile ón gCumann Gaelach go léiríonn an stair go bhfuil an Ghaeilge do chách; mar shampla, ba Phrotastúnach, William Mac Arthur, a bhunaigh an Cumann Gaelach san ollscoil níos mó ná céad bliain ó shin. Dúirt urlabhraí ón ollscoil go rabhadar sásta an cheist seo a phlé leis an gCumann agus go bhfuil dul chun cinn déanta cheana féin i leith na Gaeilge san ollscoil. Mar shampla, tá scéim chónaithe Gaeilge do mhic léinn anois agus Oifigeach Tacaíochta Gaeilge freisin.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain. Tá an script ar fáil i d'aip phodchraolta.*GLUAIScion sa chion - tit-for-tatborradh - boom, growthcoirloscadh - arsoncoimhraiceoir dóiteáin - firefightercomharthaí dátheangacha - bilingual signsdoicheallach - unwelcoming

Authentic connections with guests are crucial for memorable dining experiences. Nostalgia plays a role in how we perceive hospitality today. Technology should enhance, not replace, human interactions in dining. The focus on celebrity chefs has overshadowed the importance of service. Great experiences come from genuine engagement, not scripted interactions. Building a community around a restaurant fosters loyalty and repeat business. Retention of staff is as important as customer retention in hospitality. The essence of hospitality is making people feel special and valued. Looking back at past practices can inform better future strategies in hospitality. A strong culture is essential for hospitality success. Genuine hospitality comes from selflessness, not monetary motivation. Finding dedicated workers is increasingly challenging post-COVID. The gig economy has drawn talent away from traditional hospitality roles. Community connection is vital for the future of hospitality. Phylloxenia embodies the spirit of hospitality as a love for strangers. Independent restaurants are thriving by providing unique experiences. Technology should enhance, not replace, human connection in hospitality. Injecting purpose into hospitality work can attract younger generations. The hospitality industry plays a crucial role in community support during crises.
