After watching the Virgin Media show on the “Lucky Dip” gang and the M9 joyriders, listener Seaney messages the lads raging: Ireland needs a proper juvenile prison — “Mountjoy for kids” — because Oberstown is “like a holiday camp”.Adrian and Jeremy ask the blunt question: do we bring back something like St Patrick's Institution, or would that just create even more hardened criminals?Callers are split. Some want tougher, more secure lock-up and real consequences. Others argue prison is a training ground, and the focus should be prevention, family support, and intervention before kids end up in court.

‘I realized I was playing what I thought was expected of me, rather than playing music because I loved it.'Irish traditional folk musician Tara Connaghan shares how inheriting her late sister's fiddle sparked her musical path, how a blunt wake-up call from her teacher cured her ‘lazy practicing' habits, and how a semester abroad in Finland reminded her never to let her repertoire slip.We explore the social rules and unspoken courtesies of traditional Irish music sessions, the fear of embarrassment that holds adult learners back and how a profound conversation with traditional music elder Danny Meehan inspired Tara to stop playing for approval and start enjoying her own music. Tara also introduces her project and podcast, In Tune with Tradition, created to help adult learners navigate session etiquette, overcome performance anxiety and find community in group music-making.The 60-Second Practice: Trying to fake practice during 60-second car rides and how her teacher's tough love sparked a fierce, lifelong dedication to mastering tunes.University Repertoire Shock and The Finnish Pub Session: Feeling like ‘the weakest link' during her early days at university, going on a 20-year quest to learn every tune, and how a St Patrick's Day gig in Finland taught Tara that unused tunes quickly evaporate.From Construction Company to Creative Calling: Parachuting in to manage her late father's essential electrical services construction firm for ten years before stepping away to preserve her sanity and return to music.Danny Meehan's Wisdom and Playing Your Own Music: How a gentle observation from an 80-year-old traditional fiddle legend helped Tara realize she was playing to meet external expectations rather than for pure joy.Demystifying Session Etiquette and In Tune with Tradition: Why adult learners are risk-averse to embarrassment, and how Tara's podcast and framework help musicians understand the unspoken customs, courtesies and teamwork of session playing.You might also like Strings, Spirituality and Stillness with Jennifer Roig-FrancolíPurpose, Piano and the Goosebump Compass with Steve GoldbergHealing Through Song with Alexandra WalkerSupport the showFollow @CreativityFoundPodcast on InstagramWant to be a guest on Creativity Found?

I'm a Celtic musician and also host of Pub Songs & Stories. Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters. This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We are here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email the artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Because we are more than just a radio show. We are a community. A community of Celtic music and culture lovers. We support small and local artists. We spend money on things that truly matter. The personal and heart felt.

CELTIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET The Kickstarter for the 2027 Celtic PodFest and Arts Market is now live. I need your help funding this festival. Your generosity will ensure not only that the festival happens, but that each of the artists at the festival get paid. The event is currently scheduled for the last Sunday of February 2027, but it greatly depends on whether we can raise the money to fund it. And if you do decide to fund the festival, there are a bunch of great rewards including a flashback to one of my favorite shirt designs. Head on over to our Kickstarter for the Second Celtic PodFest. You'll find a link in the shownotes. ALBUM PINS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE HEAR CELTIC MUSIC Looking for a fresh way to support the music you love? Meet the Album Pin.

Pick yours up at magerecords.com THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Every episode takes more than good tunes.

Beyond keeping the show running, patrons get early access to new episodes, a private community of fellow Celtic music lovers, and first dibs on Celtic Invasion Vacations announcements.

Sarah Shorter emailed: "Hi Mark I use podcast addict. A couple of weeks ago episodes 678ish to current dropped off the feed. I'm still getting new ones and I'm downloading the protest songs now. But I thought it might need bringing to your attention." Patrick Rieger sent St Patrick's Day Feedback from 2026: "Hi Marc, My family and I marched in Pittsburgh's Saint Patrick's Day Parade again but this time for one of our other activities, representing the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh. We were joined by three other members of the club. As far as I know, this is the first time in its 97 year history the club was represented in the parade, which itself started in 1869. The parade celebrates Saint Patrick and the Irish, but also Pittsburgh and its people, and the club is part of that. The parade started at 10AM but since we were near the back, we didn't start moving until 11:30, so we had time to talk with other participants.. I love the variety of groups in the parade, One of our members brought a small telescope with a Sun filter so we could safely show people the Sun while we waited. The Saturday Light Brigade radio program likes to hear from people at the parade so I gave them a call. Here are some photos. Yes, that is someone dressed as a pierogi on a scooter, pierogies are big in Pittsburgh. My wife and I carried the banner. It was a joy to be in the parade again, and I hope the club is willing for us to do it again next year. We didn't go to any celebrations, they would be too crowded and too crazy. We went to one of our observatories where people brought games and snacked on pizza instead. I'll get back to the pub after the holiday." John L Pearson emailed about the Celtic Protest Songs episode: "Marc, I've been listening forever and have written you a couple other times over the years. I had to write and thank you for this great and necessary episode. Not only a necessary idea and thing to do in our current moment, but beautifully done. Great selection of songs, and I love the history and commentary you wove into the episode. I'm sure you'll get some feedback complaining that you shouldn't get political, but right now it is necessary. And really, it's hardly even political; it's just talking about the reality of the moment. Thanks as always for your great work and especially this inspirational episode. I do a little daily substack trying to stay engaged with all that is going on without letting it overwhelm me. I wrote tomorrow's post while listening to this episode! Slainte"

Ep 221 reflects on a poor 4 weeks for Dundalk FC, as the Lilywhites exit the FAI Cup, suffer a heavy home defeat to titled chasing St Pats, earn a point against in form Waterford, and lose in the final minute against struggling Shels. The fact that Dundalk established a lead in 3 of those games but were unable to build on it will not be lost on fans as the defensive fragility, that has been present all season, deteriorates to the point where the supporters are forced to switch from dreams of Europe to hopes of avoiding a relegation playoff.

A ten-year-old from County Antrim asks Fr Darren Brennan how to pick a confirmation saint, and he suggests it might work the other way around, that the saints choose us first. He shares why St Jude, St Patrick and St Louis de Montfort have each stayed close to him since childhood, and what picking a saint's name is actually supposed to commit you to.

Clonmore survived at Intermediate against Ballinabranna in a game that was a little less dramatic.In the Quarter finals it was Palatine and Old Leighlin who progressed to the Senior semis. Pal will play Rathvilly and Old Leiglhin will face Eire Og. The Intermediate Semis will see K/C take on Tinryland with Ballon facing St Patricks. At Junior A it will be Leighlinbridge v Palatine and O'Hanarahans v Naomh Eoin. Full fixture details for all grades are on Carlow GAA socials.We discussed the Integration fiasco from the past week.

James continues the series on the life of Paul, moving from Paul's hidden years into the beginning of his missionary work in Acts 13. He begins by setting the scene in the church at Antioch in Syria, where Paul has become part of a spiritually gifted church. While the believers are worshipping, fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit tells them to set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work to which he has called them. James highlights that the mission begins not with human strategy, but with the Spirit's calling and the church's prayerful obedience. Paul and Barnabas are sent to Cyprus, where they proclaim the word of God. James stresses that although the church can and should do many good things, there is one thing only the church can do: proclaim the word of God. In Paphos, they meet opposition from Elymas, a sorcerer and false prophet, who tries to turn the Roman proconsul Sergius Paulus away from the faith. Paul confronts him in the power of the Holy Spirit, Elymas is struck blind, and Sergius Paulus believes, amazed at the teaching of the Lord. The journey then moves to Pisidian Antioch in modern-day Turkey. John Mark leaves them at Perga, which later becomes a source of tension between Paul and Barnabas. In the synagogue at Antioch, Paul is invited to speak. James explains that Paul's sermon traces Israel's history through David to Jesus, then centres on Christ's death and resurrection. The heart of Paul's message is that through Jesus, forgiveness of sins is proclaimed, and everyone who believes is set free from every sin. James dwells on the wonder of that promise: our worst sins, recurring sins and secret sins can all be forgiven through Christ. The response is dramatic. The next Sabbath, almost the whole city gathers to hear the word of the Lord. Some Jewish leaders become jealous and oppose Paul, but this becomes the catalyst for the gospel being preached to the Gentiles. James points to God's purpose: Paul was called to bring salvation to the ends of the earth. The sermon closes with encouragement. Even when Paul and Barnabas are expelled from the region, the gospel continues to spread, and the new disciples are filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. James compares this to the fire of the gospel coming to Ireland through St Patrick: once lit, it could not be put out. His final challenge is that the same fire is still burning today, and believers in Aberdeen are called to carry the gospel into dark places by the power of the Holy Spirit. 0:00 Introduction: Paul the Missionary 2:32 The Church at Antioch 3:59 Led by the Holy Spirit 5:51 Set Apart for the Work 7:43 Sent to Cyprus 10:14 Opposition from Elymas 13:03 Saul Becomes Paul 15:45 The Word of God Comes with Power 17:02 From Paphos to Pisidian Antioch 19:15 Paul Is Invited to Speak 21:25 Paul's Sermon: Jesus, Death and Resurrection 22:01 Forgiveness of Sins Through Jesus 25:32 The Whole City Comes to Hear 28:04 Turning to the Gentiles 30:34 Appointed for Eternal Life 31:38 Opposition and Gospel Progress 33:13 The Fire Is Still Burning

A ‘unique relationship'?—Ireland and the USA 1920–present(Recorded live on Fri 28 Aug '26 @ the Electric Picnic)While the UK claims to have a ‘special relationship' with the USA, we claim a ‘unique relationship', exemplified by the now-traditional bowl of shamrock presentation in the White House each St Patrick's Day. But the relationship hasn't always been cordial: Dev failed to get recognition of the Irish Republic from the US government in 1920; the biggest threat to our neutrality during the Emergency came not from the Nazis or the British but from the USA; and today by far the biggest source of toxic far-right misinformation and disinformation is the USA.Editor Tommy Graham in discussion with Dan Mulhall (former Irish Ambassador in Washington DC), Bernadette Whelan (UL), and John Gibney and Michael Kennedy (both RIA's Documents on Irish Foreign Policy series).

The St. Patrick's Battalion - Fr. Rich Daise | Ep. 422 by Divine Mercy Radio

30 years ago – in July 1996 - the Lisbon Lions stand was opened at Celtic Park, continuing the ground's redevelopment.There are four stands at Celtic Park: the main stand, North Stand, Lisbon Lions stand and Jock Stein stand. Each time one these has been opened, matches have been held to celebrate this.The original Celtic Park opened in 1888 before 1892 when the Bhoys moved the short distance to the second site, which remains the location where the Celts play.Over the years, the look of this venue has changed significantly, with many stands and structures being built and then knocked down, and in the case of the original pavilion, burned down as happened in 1929.If looking at the current Parkhead, the history of this can be traced back to 1971, when the main stand was built, although the foundations of this are much older.The oldest of Celtic's stands is the main stand. Work on this began in 1970 and was eventually completed in 1971. It ran behind schedule which led to one very strange scenario.By 14 August 1971, the League Cup campaign had begun but Celtic could not yet play at home due to the building works. This meant that their match versus Rangers had to be played at Ibrox – but with Celtic as the home team, and Celtic season tickets being valid!11 days later, the main stand was finally ready for use. In terms of opening games for this new facility, there are two relevant fixtures. The first of these came in the League Cup on 25 August. Morton travelled to Celtic Park and the main stand was now open for fans.To say the least, this was a less than auspicious occasion to mark the stand's maiden game. Despite getting a penalty – which was missed by Kenny Dalglish – the Celts fell to a 1-0 defeat. Although Celtic still made it through to the final, they famously lost 4-1 to Partick Thistle.However, this Morton fixture was not the main stand's official opening event. Instead, that took place a week when Nacional from Uruguay were the glamour opponents invited to mark the occasion.60,000 supporters were in Celtic Park, with the main stand being ticket-only and sold out. They watched on as Celtic legend Jimmy McGrory – the club's all-time top scorer and former manager – performed the official ceremony.This was a much brighter moment as the Hoops won 3-0 to officially christen the new stand with victory. Although there were also complaints from the Scottish League who were upset at the game being played during the season, despite the Scottish FA agreeing to this.In the following decades, little major reconstruction work took place at Celtic Park. By the early-1990s, this left the club facing a major problem. The Hillsborough tragedy had led to a demand that all football stadiums be all-seated.In this era, Celtic faced major financial problems and simply did not have the money to build such a venue. Pipe dreams of moving to Cambuslang soon disappeared. Eventually, this led to Fergus McCann's takeover, after which there was rapid building progress at Celtic Park.In the 1994-95 season, the Bhoys vacated their usual home and instead played at Hampden. Whilst they were away, Celtic Park was razed to the ground, except for the main stand. Building work soon followed at a cost of £17 million.In place of the old Jungle section of the ground, a massive new North Stand was built. Quite simply, this towered over what had been the former ground. Also, with seats for 27,000 supporters, this was one of the biggest stands in Britain.By 1995, everything looked brighter again for Celtic. The takeover had long since been completed, the Bhoys had held a successful share issue to raise much needed funds and, most importantly, the club's first silverware since 1989 sat in the Parkhead trophy room.In addition, the North Stand was now finished and ready for an official opening. On a gala day on 5 August 1995, fans got their first experience of this new venue.A sell-out crowd turned up in Glasgow's east end, with the brilliant sunshine capturing the general mood of optimism. Rod Stewart did the official honours at the ribbon-cutting to open the North Stand, before a friendly match was held.Celtic's opponents were Newcastle United, with a team full of stars including David Ginola and Peter Beardsley. They all helped entertain the supporters in a 1-1 draw. John Collins got the first goal in front of the new stand, thanks to a 30th minute penalty, before Les Ferdinand's second half equaliser proved to be the last scoring of the match.Now that one part of Fergus McCann's new construction was complete, it would not be long before more building work took place. Behind the west stand – or old Celtic end – a temporary stand was erected, but this was only a short-term solution.One year on, there was yet another new stand to be opened. And like in 1971, there were two relevant matches when it came to doing this.Throughout the 1995-96 season, more building work had taken place at the east end of the ground, on the site of what had previously been referred to as the ‘Rangers end'. Now this stand was complete and ready for action.On 31 July 1996, another English team made their way north of the border. This time it was Arsenal's turn to experience the new Celtic Park, but it was also the first time for Celtic fans too.Another sell-out crowd – this time with 47,300 fans – were in the ground. They witnessed a 2-1 win for the home side. In fact, Arsenal led for most of the match thanks to a Lee Dixon goal, but two very late strikes from Simon Donnelly and Phil O'Donnell ensured a green-and-white win.Despite Arsenal being high-profile visitors, this match was not the official opening of the stand. Instead, this took place a few days later.On 3 August 1996, Billy Connolly this time was given the opening honours. Wearing a standout green suit, the Glasgow comedian officially opened the new east stand, before a clash of the hoops where Celtic played Sporting Lisbon.This match showed the best and worst of Celtic in this era. The Celts looked good going forward and enjoyed a two-goal advantage thanks to goals from Jorge Cadete – playing against his old club – and Simon Donnelly.However, with ten minutes remaining, this good work was undone in little more than a minute. As the clock struck 80, Luis Filipe halved the deficit. And very shortly after this, the unfortunate John Hughes knocked into his own net, to seal a 2-2 draw.In fact, you can argue that this stand has had three official openings. The first two came in 1996 when the building work was first done. The next happened four years later, but this time without any building changes.Instead, the event in the year 2000 concerned a change of name. The stand was simply referred to as the east stand, although some fans referred to it using the old ‘Rangers end' adage. But now Celtic wanted to use the venue to honour the club's greatest side.It was agreed that the east stand would be officially christened the ‘Lisbon Lions' stand in celebration of all those players who contributed to European Cup glory in 1967. This was in response to a public vote in the choice of name, with Fergus McCann being runner-up.On 1 February 2000, Bayern Munich came to Celtic Park. In front of a less than full Celtic Park, the Germans claimed a 2-1 victory. In truth, it was an unimportant game, and it was one that almost did not happen.The previous Saturday, high winds had damaged some of the stadium, including the new stand. This had forced the postponement of Celtic's Scottish Cup clash with Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The weather eventually calmed down enough to fix the roof and let the Bayern game go ahead.But, of course, when it came to replay the Scottish Cup tie, the Celts were left wishing that the weather had again stopped this. Famously, ‘Super Caley went ballistic' and knocked the hoops out of the cup, considered to be one of Celtic's worst ever results.In fact, when the Lisbon Lions stand received its official name, the full ground was now complete. After the east stand was finished in 1996, attentions turned to adding the final piece of the Celtic Park jigsaw.Where the temporary stand had stood at the west end of the ground, construction began. By 1998, this was finished and ready to be opened for fans to use. The completed 60,000 stadium was an impressive sight; the biggest football ground in Scotland.Once more, two matches were involved in the opening of this new stand. On the face of it, the first game played in front of fans should have been a major moment. As well as a fully rebuilt stadium, the Celts were in the qualifiers of the Champions League for the first time since it was rebranded from the European Cup.On 22 July 1998, Dublin side St Patrick's Athletic came to Celtic Park. 56,864 were in the ground. They watched an utterly lacklustre match which ended 0-0. There were even boos as the team left the pitch at full-time, although Celtic did at least go on to win the second leg.This disappointing fixture was not the official opening though. Instead, that took place just over two weeks later. Liverpool were the latest team from England to open a Celtic Park stand.Before the match began, there was a poignant ceremony. This latest stand was to be named after Jock Stein, the man who had led Celtic to Europe's pinnacle. His wife Jean opened the stand, and she was joined by most of the Lisbon Lions, who showed off their famous trophy.This time it was a sell-out and 59,727 supporters crammed into the ground, a sight which has become common in the years since. They did not get to cheer a goal as the Merseyside men claimed a 1-0 win, but Celtic knew they were on the upward track.The changing face of Celtic Park has been truly remarkable, including the surrounding areas. For now, the ground has a fixed feel to it although there are always demands from supporters for further changes, including another tier being added to the main stand.In addition, there are regular fan discussions about whether more names should be added to the ground; figures such as Brother Walfrid or Fergus McCann are usually promoted in relation to this.Whichever stand you sit in at Celtic Park, it is one that has been witness to so many memorable moments in the club's history. The club's home since 1892, it's one place that you know where there's going to be a show.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

A disastrous first half for Galway United put them out of contention in this SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division contest in Richmond Park on Friday (3rd July 2026) as they fell to a second successive defeat in Dublin. After conceding three goals in total against Shamrock Rovers a week previously, the Tribesmen already dropped the same amount after just 23 minutes, in a game which saw them fail to manage a strike on target. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Jonathan Higgins and Kevin Horgan. == Galway United's next game is at home against Sligo Rovers on Saturday week (11th July).  Kick-off at Pearse Stadium is 5pm.

It's a transatlantic effort this week as Houston based Dan joins up with JW from the city that will play host to Pico Lopes' final World Cup group game late on Friday night as his journey now looks likely to continue. From meeting Tajikistan lads in the lift or the travails of tuning into LOITV from a multinational press room, Dan gives his take on the last week while Johnny poses the big questions from home after another puzzling Shels-Bohs encounter, a win for St Patrick's Athletic that might build belief and the verdict on Galway's temporary home. In a packed mailbag there's James McClean book discussions, substitute host feedback and another dose of dodgy box chat. All of this familiarity is brought to you with the help of our friends at Collar & Cuff, Chido, Future Ticketing and Planify
