Cork footballers are heading for a rematch with Kerry in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh after the draws were made for the All-Ireland group stages.Whatever happens on the June Bank Holiday weekend, or away to the losers of Meath-Louth in the Leinster final and Roscommon, which will be at a neutral venue, Cork football isn't in a very strong position on the basis of recent underage results.On this week's podcast we discuss the state of football on Leeside.Keith Ricken's minors host Kerry this week in the Munster opener, with both counties moving to the semi-final anyway, hoping to fare better than last season's U17 crop. The U20s were outclassed by Kerry in their provincial final and the Rebels have failed to trouble their rivals at all since they last picked up Munster underage silverware.Corn Uí Mhuirí action has highlighted how dominant Kerry are and you have to ask what is being done to arrest the slide? Cork haven't replaced Conor Counihan as Director of Football and given their financial issues are unlikely to do so while the lack of viable options if current senior manager John Cleary moves on at the end of the summer just shows how bleak the situation is.There's also a chat about Limerick's impressive display in beating Waterford away and they clearly mean business despite being surprisingly held to a draw in Thurles last month. The Cork U20 hurlers have improved across the campaign and will the chance to reach the Munster final against a fancied Tipp if they can beat Clare in the Páirc. The Banner beat them in the minor equivalent three years ago.This year's minors face Waterford in the Munster final, having completed the group with four wins from four and looking like very strong All-Ireland contenders.We also look at how the leagues are panning out in hurling and football across the divisions, with the availability of Cork hurling squad players a great reflection of the management team and their positive attitude.Plus a discussion of the Cork camogie and ladies football teams seasons so far and the skort versus shorts debate.You can listen to the Echo Sport Podcast every week wherever you get your podcasts or on www.echolive.ie/podcast Hosted on Acast.

ePower is to supply over 20 shopping centres across 14 counties nationwide with high speed EV charging points, following a partnership agreement with Lanthorn, which manages a portfolio of over €1.6bn of property throughout Ireland. Rollout will begin in 2025, and the sites where chargers will be installed include Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, as well as busy urban areas like Navan, Dundalk, Mullingar, Athlone, Maynooth, Portlaoise and Kilkenny. ?ePower is working closely with Lanthorn in association with their project managers, KSNPM. ePower has been selected following a competitive process, which took into account the company's ability to offer high speed charging facilities, tailored specifically to each site, and crucially, the assurance that the sites would be maintained and serviced by ePower's 24/7 help desk, field engineering and remote management. Commenting on the development, John O'Keeffe, CEO of Power, said: "We're very proud to be part of the drive towards making electric vehicles a better choice for consumers. The rollout and delivery of chargers, be it through public or private partnerships, is key to this. Through this partnership with Lanthorn, ePower plans to have super-fast chargers installed at shopping centres around Ireland, from Donegal to Cork and many places in between; it's a great expansion for us in what's been a hugely successful year of growth." It's been a busy year for ePower; the company recently joined forces with Dublin's local authorities to bring online up to 200 fast chargers across the region in 2025. The initial phase of the project will see ePower's high-speed chargers installed at more than 40 Dublin locations across the four Dublin local authorities. The company also won six of 17 government contracts for the rollout of new high-speed electric car charging hubs across Ireland, due to be operational by the end of 2025.

Our under 20 and senior footballers had contrasting fortunes this weekend with the under 20's remaining unbeaten whilst our seniors pushed league leaders Wexford all the way. TSDL with Barry round off another busy Extra Time. We hope you like...

Presentation College Athenry will hope their long wait is over this Monday (St. Patrick's Day - 17th March 2025) when they take on Thurles CBS in the Masita All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Senior A Hurling Final. Galway are also seeking to end a 30-year famine since St. Raphael's, Loughrea were victors in 1995. It's a repeat of the 2023 semi-final when Athenry edged their opponents 0-15 to 0-14.  Aaron Niland, Seán Murphy, Aodhán McDonagh, Darragh Counihan and Michael Fallon are still involved from that victory. This is Presentation's fifth final appearance following defeats in 1976, 2018, 2019 and 2023.  The latter three came at the expense of St. Kieran's, Kilkenny but Presentation Athenry got a measure of revenge in this year's semi-final, winning 4-13 to 2-11 thanks to goals from Oscar Fitzpatrick, Ciarán Leen, Eoin Hannon and Ethan O'Brien.  Thurles CBS, chasing a first title since 2009, overcame Coláiste Bhaile Chláir 0-21 to 0-17 in their semi-final. Leading up to the game, Presentation Athenry manager Paul Hoban has been chatting to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Throw-in at Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day is 3pm and we'll have LIVE coverage here on Galway Bay FM.

The new commission-free Love Tipperary Gift Card has gone live in the county with over 190 businesses accepting the card, including national brands and independent businesses. Tipperary businesses say the new gift card will drive footfall in local towns, take 'shop local' to the next level and provide an easy way to reward staff. County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council are behind the newly launched county-wide gift card for the towns of Carrick-On-Suir, Clonmel, Cahir, Cashel, Tipperary Town, Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. Available to buy online as physical gift cards or digital e-cards, a range of shops, restaurants, salons, attractions and services are participating. Edel Kennedy is the owner of ladieswear boutique Edel's Boutique in Nenagh and said the gift card is a positive move for the county: "Nenagh is a thriving market town with many wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and of course boutiques. It's a shopper's paradise, we have it all! Nenagh's success can definitely be attributed to the fact that so many of the businesses are managed and run by the owners. We really do care about our customers and our town. Edel's Boutique has been in Nenagh for 19 years and has seen so many changes in that time, including plenty of challenges for small business owners. "The gift card is a fantastic initiative because it keeps money in the community. Small businesses have to pay commission to accept the national gift cards which is tough when margins are already tight. But the Love Tipperary Gift Card is commission free. As we approach the Christmas trading period, we as business owners are very excited for the launch of the gift card. We feel positive that we can take 'shop local' to the next level and put Tipperary on the map. "In Ireland, we have such a great incentive to reward staff tax free through the Small Benefit Exemption scheme and what better way to reward staff than the Love Tipperary Gift Card, encouraging employees to shop in the county, driving footfall and helping create thriving towns where people want to live and work. It's a no-brainer for organisations." A unique feature of the gift card is that it can be spent with both national brands and independent businesses, including New Look in Clonmel. Aisling O'Meara is the store manager and said: "New Look in Clonmel is one of the most profitable in Ireland but even as a national brand, we'd noticed a drop in footfall and were keen to look at initiatives to increase both footfall and dwell time in Clonmel. When we heard about the Love Tipperary Gift Card, we said 'this is amazing and how do we get involved'. "Even though New Look is a big brand, we're all local businesses staffed by local people and we all have pride in our town. By working together and backing each other through the gift card, we can help our town and our businesses to succeed. "The great thing about the Love Tipperary Gift Card is that it has to be spent in Tipperary county and will encourage people to visit Clonmel and other towns. I think the choice on offer with the card is really good. People will look at where to spend it, visit one business, and likely stay to try others. We have a reward and recognition scheme at our store, and this year we will buy the Love Tipperary Gift Card because it puts the money we invest in rewards back into our town." 5th generation Tipperary Town business O'Rahelly Sports is also participating. Bryan O'Rahelly said the gift card promotes the county: "The fact that people will have a card in their wallet - physical or digital - that has Tipperary on it is brilliant. It's a bit of advertising for our county and it's a push for people to shop local who might not have otherwise. It also means it's less likely to be forgotten about. "Some of the national gift cards have a 10% commission for businesses to accept the card whereas the Love Tipperary Gift Card has no commission, so when people buy the Love Tipperary Gift Card as a present, or orga...

Plans for a new McDonald's in Thurles has been met with local backlash over health concerns. We hear about the concerns from Dr Paul Ryan, A GP in Thurles.

As winter approaches and the evenings get shorter, stand-up comic and Sweden's number 13-ranked snooker player Brian O'Grady dropped by the studio for a chat about his life on stage and at the table. We talk about how he came to live in Sweden, what happened when he first saw live stand-up comedy in the Liffey, and how a lot of what he has done since has been to impress the ten-year-old lad growing up in Thurles in a very different Ireland to the one we know today.

County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council are collaborating to introduce a county-wide gift card to champion 'shop local' and boost the local economy. The Tipperary Gift Card is set to launch pre-Christmas as part of efforts to drive footfall and spend across the county and in the towns of Carrick-On-Suir, Clonmel, Cahir, Cashel, Tipperary Town, Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. Once launched, the Tipperary Gift Card will only be able to be spent with registered businesses, in person, locking spend into the county. There will be a 0% commission rate for the first 12 months for Tipperary businesses to accept the new gift card, keeping 100% of the transaction within the business. All types of businesses are eligible to accept the card, including retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism, health/beauty and services, with no additional equipment required. Businesses don't have to be a County Tipperary Chamber member to be a part of the new gift card. Michelle Aylward, Chief Executive at County Tipperary Chamber said: "Local businesses are the backbone of our Tipperary communities and now is the time for us to work together on a single shop local gift card for the whole county that will be transformative for our towns. "The Tipperary Gift Card is a phenomenal opportunity for Tipperary businesses to bring people through their doors with money to spend. With the zero commission to accept the card, there is no reason for a business not to be a part of this gift card. And as all types of consumer facing businesses can accept the card, it spreads out the benefit across Tipperary. It will provide tangible support for businesses and help to pull our communities together." Sinead Carr, C.E. of Tipperary County Council stated: "The availability of such an opportunity in County Tipperary is something I have long envisaged and I am particularly delighted to see that it will be in place for the Christmas 2024 period. Registering to accept the forthcoming Tipperary Gift Card is straightforward and cost-free. As we approach the key Christmas trading period, being a part of the gift card is a route to new revenue and new customers." The Tipperary Gift Card will be part of the multi award winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Drogheda, Letterkenny, Sligo and Waterford. Over €7 million Town & City Gift Cards were sold in Ireland in 2023, with around 80% of sales to organisations for staff rewards and incentives. Colin Munro is the managing director of Miconex and said: "What makes the Tipperary Gift Card unique is the technology behind it. The card is Mastercard backed so the balance gets automatically updated when customers spend. Customers can check their balance in moments using the QR code on the gift card. And there will be a digital version of the card that customers can upload to digital wallets. This all makes the process of accepting the gift card friction-free for businesses, and that is vital." Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council Cllr Declan Burgess stated: "The collaboration between County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council on the forthcoming county-wide Tipperary Gift Card is a fantastic example of organisations joining together for the benefit of their communities both socially and economically. When we look at the success of Town & City Gift Card programmes across Ireland, the potential of the new gift card to keep Tipperary money in Tipperary towns is considerable." See more stories here.

We've just landed back from our tour around many beautiful parts of Ireland and we've got some great live guest interviews to bring you over the coming months.  One particular stand out interview was in The Source Arts Centre in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, with an incredible man, Aidan Loughnane.  After a lengthy battle with grief, anxiety and an eating disorder, that almost pushed him to the brink of death, Aidan decided to turn his life around. He found a love for running and began sharing his story and love for exercise on his Instagram, Running with Aidan, where he has built a community of runners and supporters with his tough love approach. Niall and Aidan discussed their similar journeys with mental health and exercise, the good, the bad and the obsessive, and the small moments of hope and perspective that pulled Aidan out of a dark place. It was an important moment for Aidan as his Dad was in the audience and hearing him speak about the extent of his struggles for the first time.   This episode discusses some sensitive topics, including eating disorders and suicide, please take care when listening.  Check out Niall's Sleep course over on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslin Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.
