The Manager of the Clare Minor Ladies Footballers is hailing his sides character following last night's dramatic All-Ireland Semi Final Win. The Banner overcame Monaghan after extra-time in goalfest in Tarmonbarry on a full time score of 5-3 to 3-7 and will face Sligo in the decider in the coming weeks. Doonbeg's Aoibheann Ryan was the star of the show scoring 4-1, while Liscannor's Shannon Cagney disptached a penalty. Clare Boss Barry Donnelly says every member of the squad showed incredible resilience.
Derry City travel to Sligo Rovers on Saturday night full of confidence. Manager Tiernan Lynch is keen to keep his team's momentum going, saying there's “no reason to change a winning formula.” Michael Duffy, fresh off winning the Player of the Month award, will be a key figure as Derry look to close the gap at the top. Adding further firepower, new signing Dipo Akinyemi joins on a multi-year deal, giving Lynch more options in attack. Sligo, struggling for form, face a tough task against a Derry side with eyes firmly on the title race.

Two Enterprise Ireland-backed companies have won funding approvals of up to €18.75m in the latest competition under Horizon Europe's European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Programme. The two successful companies are CroíValve and Lios. Enterprise Ireland leads the National Support Network for Horizon Europe which helps entrepreneurs to compete and win funding in EIC competitions. To date, 28 Irish companies have secured approvals totalling €175.5m under the EIC Accelerator Programme since the beginning of Horizon Europe in 2021. Trinity College Dublin spin-out company CroíValve is a clinical-stage medical device company focused on developing a minimally invasive device for the treatment of a severe cardiac disease called tricuspid regurgitation. CroíValve's DUO Tricuspid Coaptation Valve system will enable a non-surgical solution for the condition as currently less than one percent of elderly patients receive surgical treatment due to the risks involved in this population. CroíValve previously received funding under the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund which is administered by Enterprise Ireland and supports research collaboration to drive disruptive technology development. Lios, a pioneer in acoustic advanced materials technology, is a Dublin company with strong Sligo roots. SoundBounce is an advanced acoustic material developed by Lios that works better than traditional sound dampening materials. Transport, home appliances, power generation, and construction are among the major industries seeking to reduce noise levels. Part of the EU's Horizon Europe 2021-2027 Research and Innovation Programme, the EIC Accelerator Programme provides transformational funding to high-potential, high-risk start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs. Approvals include grant funding of up to €2.5 million combined with an equity investment ranging from €0.5 to €10 million in a blended finance offer. 959 applications were submitted to this latest competition with 150 companies subsequently selected for interview resulting in a total of 40 funding awards to 16 countries. The 40 companies were allocated funding of up to €229m in a combination of grants and equity investments. Almost one third of the selected companies were led by a woman in a key leadership role such as CEO, CTO or CSO. Minister of State for Trade Promotion, AI and Digital Transformation Niamh Smyth TD said: "Today's announcement is testament to the research and innovation capability of Irish companies and the vibrancy of the start-up and commercialisation eco-system. Collaboration between Higher Education, state agencies, investors, and business creates a pathway to success, and the government, through Enterprise Ireland, is committed to helping enterprises like Lios and CroíValve to realise their commercial potential. This announcement provides significant funding to support these companies to bring their innovations to the global market, and I wish both every success for the future." Jenny Melia, CEO Designate, Enterprise Ireland, said: "I'd like to congratulate Lios and CroíValve on their successful applications to the highly competitive EIC Accelerator programme. Both companies, working with the EIC, will be able to enhance their entrepreneurial capability and get the critical support required at this juncture in their development and scaling journey. It is particularly welcome to see that both projects have a female-inclusive leadership team which supports Enterprise Ireland's strategic ambition to increase the participation of women in entrepreneurship and business leadership." Lucy O'Keeffe, Co-Founder & CEO, CroíValve said: "Securing European Innovation Council (EIC) funding is very impactful in supporting full alignment of our novel technology with this complex patient population, along with expansion of clinical validation of our DUO System. There is a real unmet clinical need to provide a scalable treatment option for the heterogeneous patient population with tricuspi...

In this heartfelt episode, I reconnect with the radiant Reeta Pohjonen, who shares the inspiring next chapter of her path from launching the Academy of Transformative Homeopathy to co-creating the Sacred Source School with Janey Lavelle. We explore the deeper layers of homeopathy as both a healing modality and a path of personal transformation, and Reeta offers a glimpse into her powerful graduation retreats infused with women's circles, cacao ceremonies, and soul-led teachings. She also takes us to Sicily, where she has rooted herself on a sacred piece of land that now serves as a hub for remedy-making, retreats, and deep ancestral healing. With stories of synchronicity, ceremony, and sisterhood, this conversation is a beautiful reminder of the magic that unfolds when we listen to the call of the heart.

A devoted mother of three and an angel child, she has embraced the beauty of water births. As the principal of Homeopathy School Helsinki, Reeta is a passionate homeopath, vital shiatsu therapist, mama yoga instructor, 3P facilitator, and astrologer, dedicated to the service of the Holy Feminine. Her work focuses on childbirth, women's well-being, and mental health, particularly for young people. Inspired by Kabbalah, ceremonial life, and the wonders of nature, Reeta's interests span from alkalized living water and juicing to sailing and Argentine tango. With a dream of a home in southern Italy, she continues to explore life's beauty through heartfelt connections and artistic expression. Janey Lavelle is a mother of four home-birthed children, an intuitive healer, and a passionate advocate for women's wellness. Originally from New Zealand and now rooted in the wild beauty of Easkey, Co. Sligo, Janey has spent over 15 years working in the field of Energy Medicine. Her work focuses on supporting women, babies, and children through pregnancy, birth, matrescence, hormonal imbalances, and emotional healing. Blending ancient wisdom with modern science, she offers a unique approach that integrates homeopathy, massage therapies (Swedish, Ayurvedic, and Aromatherapy), Reiki, and energy alchemy. Janey runs a healing space and homeopathic emporium in Inishcrone and teaches homeopathy at the Helsinki School of Homeopathy in Finland. She also leads Reiki initiations in Ireland and has deeply immersed herself in the art of trituration, co-creating remedies such as Irish Raven, Sea Eagle, and Maria Magdalena.

He even has a little scoop for us towards the end of the episode.Elsewhere, we discuss the perils and opportunities of the use of AI in writing, particularly the threat it poses to creative industries, but also where its limitations lie. As a psychotherapist, Tade also relays strong opinions about how a reliance upon AI can have effects upon human cognitive ability. As we meander through the conversation we cover upon Sith lords, breast-punching, and Dan's recycling.Elsewhere, Sligo resident Montoolian McD'Gaskell attempts to win big big money but runs up against an unlikely obstacle: Google Gemini AI.

This week, we're going back into the archive to revisit Ada Limón's time as host. Today's episode was originally released on February 3 2022. In this episode, former host Ada Limón writes… “In today's gorgeous poem of honoring, we see how the speaker transforms the story of her mother's illness into something that feels like an offering. Sometimes the job of the poet is simply to listen, and sometimes it is to become the unburied voice.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

People had very mixed opinions on Josh from Sligo's occupation, turns out he's a wedding photographer!
In our inaugural episode of "Terrified Together," we partnered with Chris and Ed from "Scared All the Time Podcast" to dive into spine-chilling listener submissions that had us questioning reality itself. We kicked things off with Taylor's haunting tale from Marietta, Ohio - a 21-year-old who bought what seemed like the perfect starter home, only to discover it came with some very unwelcome residents. From mysterious footsteps in a locked attic to pets behaving in ways that would make any animal lover's blood run cold, Taylor's experience had us all leaning into our mics with genuine concern and fascination. Our second story transported us across the pond to Ireland, where our listener Carrie Anne's life took a dramatic turn after an innocent hike in the mountains of Sligo. What started as a family walk through familiar terrain became something far more sinister when she encountered an ancient stone monument and made the fateful decision to explore a forbidden fairy fort.

Employers are struggling to find skilled workers. How can we fix the job skills gap? Apprenticeships are touted as one possible solution.
