The South East Science Festival is back from November 8 to 16, and this year's extensive programme of free and ticketed events across Waterford city and county, the Suir Valley and Carlow includes even more fascinating daytime and evening events in colleges, libraries, theatres and pubs. All of the events across all three counties are engaging, all fun and all showcase how relevant all things science are in our everyday lives. Novel events this year include the science of wine tasting and pairing, coastal change, fossils, and copper mining. Recent approval of the capital programme supporting the Veterinary Places Activation Programme (VPAP) and the creation a new veterinary school at SETU is a massive boost to the south east as a STEM cluster. Such investment is expected to spur even greater interest in this year's Festival programme of 90-plus events, which is supported by Research Ireland. This year, Science Week celebrates its 30th anniversary with the theme Then. Today. Tomorrow. Managed by Research Ireland, Science Week 2025 marks thirty years of harnessing the power of curiosity and collaboration to advance science in Ireland. Speaking ahead of Science Week, Director of Research for Society at Research Ireland, Dr Ruth Freeman, said: "Since its inception, Science Week has grown into a cornerstone of Ireland's national calendar, inspiring generations to explore the role of science in shaping our world - past, present, and future. "Delivered through a dynamic nationwide programme and on the ground through agencies such as CALMAST, the South East Technological University's STEM engagement centre, Science Week includes in-person events, a widespread media campaign, and engaging educational content for both primary and secondary schools. The Science Week Funding Programme supports a diverse range of activities, ensuring science is accessible and exciting for all." Engaging and fun presenters, Mark Langtry, Ken Farhuhar and Cas Kramer are back by popular demand on this year's South East Science Festival programme. And libraries have opened their doors, and their teams are coordinating and marketing events across venues such as Ardkeen, Clonmel, Cappoquin, Lismore, Dungarvan, Carlow town and Tallow. This year's Festival theme, "Then. Today. Tomorrow", is central to the extensive programme of traditionally popular as well as new events on this year's South East Science Festival programme across Waterford, Tipperary and Carlow, Dr Sheila Donegan, Co-Founder and Co-Director of CALMAST, the South East Technological University's STEM engagement centre, said. "We're really looking forward to engaging with all sections of the community, from primary school children right up to adult-only audiences for this year's South East Science Festival programme. It's fun, it's engaging, it's entertaining and educational. We're delighted to work with Research Ireland and with our partners and sponsors, key among them the local authorities, SETU, key STEM employers in the region. "We now invite members of the public to peruse the schedule of events running across libraries, theatres, pubs, educational hubs, museums, and so much more and to book their place. We will be exploring the science behind wine tasting and pairing. We will also mix comedy and science, and will be looking at why copper was mined in Waterford and if it could be again. We're examining fossils in the city, will host a coastal change workshop and walk and much more. Many events booked out within hours last year, and we expect the very same for 2025," Dr Donegan said. Among the South East Science Festival partners this year are internationally renowned street art festival specialists Spraoi. TV Honan, Spraoi Director, said: "Spraoi performances are a mix of art, engineering, and technology. Human creativity is the common link, and we love working with SETU colleagues, making imaginative connections between art and science." For more on the South East Science Festival programme...

This week on Organic Matters, we meet Philip and Eleanor Cussen, who farm in Co. Tipperary. They blend their love for nature and Irish Cobs, with growing tillage and rearing suckler cattle. They talk about the conversion of the farm over 10 years ago, re-establishing a suckler herd and dipping their toes into organic tillage, producing milling oats, which has become an important element of their enterprise. The Cussens touch on the importance of cooperating and learning from other organic farmers, and how Eleanor's passion for the Irish cob horse breed is an integral part of their farming story. They also speak about how they have developed a greater appreciation for the wide range of biodiversity on the farm.

In 2024, Denmark reached a landmark Green Tripartite Agreement, introducing the world's first agricultural climate tax as part of a comprehensive package of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore nature, improve biodiversity, and tackle nitrogen pollution. This pioneering policy framework is poised to transform Danish agriculture and rural landscapes over the coming decades. This webinar features insights from Johannes Flatz of CONCITO and Erik Jørgensen of the Danish Agriculture & Food Council, who will outline the negotiation process behind the Agreement and assess its implications for the Danish agri-food sector, climate policy, and rural development. From an Irish perspective, Dr. Maria Snell of Macra na Feirme and Ailbhe Gerrard of Talamh Beo and Brookfield Farm will consider the opportunities and challenges for Ireland in delivering on climate and biodiversity targets within the farming community, exploring how elements of the Danish model might be adapted to the current policy landscape in Ireland. Bringing together Danish and Irish viewpoints, this discussion examines the design, implementation, and adaptation of ambitious agricultural climate measures across contrasting European settings, and the potential role such agreements can play in aligning environmental objectives with rural prosperity. Speaker bios: Johannes Flatz is a Climate Analyst in CONCITOs programme on food and consumption. Johannes works as a climate analyst with a focus on analysis of European agricultural policies.

The problem was, the year was 1853. The Great Famine had just ended. Catholic Emancipation had been granted just 24 years earlier. The Irish were in no mood to give up their Catholic faith in favour of one so intrinsically identified with the Great Oppressor.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 17ú lá de mí Mheán Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 mharaíodh dhá fhear ó Thiobraid Árann I dhá thimpiste bóthair dhifriúil. I 1982 bhí na poitigéir timpeall an tír ag agóidíocht I gcoinne an rialtas de bharr gur ghearr siad siar ar leigheas saor in aisce. I 1982 tháinig Teachta Dála Donal Carey amach ag rá go raibh Droichead an Chláir ag suí faoi bholcán. I 1999 tháinig sé amach go raibh níos mó ná leath de na daoine a raibh ag iarradh stop a cur le h-ól alcól agus drugaí a thógáil ag Bushypark, idir aois 18 agus 35. Bhí 40% dóibh faoi 25 chomh maith. Sin 10cc le Dreadlock Holiday – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1978. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1952 tháinig The BBC amach ag rá nach raibh siad chun amhrán Bill Haley and His Comets, Rockin Through The Rye a sheinm de bharr go raibh sé ag dul in aghaidh cultúr sa Bhreatain leis an liric All the lassies rock with me when rockin through the rye. I 1964 I rith turas cheol I Meiriceá – chan The Beatles ag an Stad Municipal I Kansas. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Danny Ramirez I Meiriceá I 1992 agus rugadh aisteoir Danielle Brooks I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1989 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 17th of September, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: 2 Co. Tipperary men were killed in separate road accidents. 1982: Chemists throughout the country are protesting against Government cutbacks on free medicine. 1982: Local T.D Mr. Donal Carey told Clare Co.Council Clarecastle village was sitting under a volcano. 1999: It was reported that half of the people treated for alcohol and drug abuse at Clare's Bushypark Centre are between the ages of 18 and 35 while 40 percent of that number are under 25. That was 10cc with Dreadlock Holiday – the biggest song on this day in 1978 Onto music news on this day In 1956 The BBC announced the removal of Bill Haley and His Comets' ‘Rockin' Through The Rye' from its playlist because they felt the song went against traditional British standards, (and included the lyrics "All the lassies rock with me when rockin' through the rye"). 1964 During a US tour The Beatles appeared at the Municipal Stadium in Kansas City. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Danny Ramirez was born in America in 1992 and actress Danielle Brooks was born in America on this day in 1989 and this is some of the stuff she has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

SIRO, the wholesale broadband network operator delivering 100% fibre-to-the-building broadband across Ireland, has announced that its network is now live in Tipperary Town. To date, 1,432 homes and businesses in the town have access to the SIRO network, with a further 580 premises expected to go live in 2026. SIRO's rollout in Tipperary Town was delivered in two phases, with approximately 330 premises passed in June and a further 1,102 premises passed in August. The third phase of the rollout will be completed in Q1 2026 with 580 more premises joining the SIRO network. Areas of the town now passed by the SIRO network include Springfield Grove, Saint Michael's Avenue, Rosanna Close, Springfield Crescent, Lacey Villas, Davitt Street, An Dúiche, O'Connell Road, Saint Patrick's Avenue, and Blackthorn Grove. With this latest rollout, SIRO has now passed more than 19,000 premises across County Tipperary. The company's fibre broadband network is already live in towns such as Cashel, Clonmel, Nenagh, Roscrea, Thurles and Tipperary, bringing reliable gigabit connectivity to homes and businesses throughout the county. Earlier this month, SIRO and Vodafone also announced their role as connectivity partners for Roscrea's new REACH Digital Enterprise Hub, which officially opened at the start of September. As the 25th hub to join the SIRO-Vodafone Gigabit Hub Initiative, REACH is supporting growth opportunities for local businesses in Tipperary. The expansion comes at a crucial time, as Ireland prepares for the national copper switch-off, which will see the outdated copper broadband network switched off over the years ahead. SIRO's 100% fibre broadband provides a future-proofed solution, ensuring reliable connectivity for households and businesses ensuring they have high quality connectivity required for decades to come. SIRO's full fibre broadband offers speeds of up to 2 gigabits per second, allowing households and businesses to enjoy seamless online experiences. Customers in Tipperary Town can now order services from SIRO's retail partners, with more premises to follow in 2026. Speaking on the announcement, John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to bring SIRO's 100% fibre broadband to Tipperary Town, enabling more than 2,000 premises to access reliable gigabit connectivity. For businesses, world-class broadband is critical, supporting growth, digitalisation, and competitiveness. For households, it underpins everything from remote working and online learning to streaming and gaming. With copper switch-off now on the horizon, SIRO's full fibre network ensures that Tipperary Town is ready for the future."

SIRO and Vodafone Ireland have been announced as the official connectivity partners for REACH, Roscrea's new Enterprise Hub. As part of the SIRO-Vodafone Gigabit Hub Initiative, REACH will enjoy seamless, high-speed fibre broadband. Located in the heart of Roscrea, REACH is the 25th hub to join the Gigabit Hub Initiative. The hub was officially opened this week with representatives from the REACH Board, elected representatives, Tipperary County Council officials and other key stakeholders all in attendance. The Gigabit Hub Initiative, delivered by SIRO and Vodafone, provides gigabit fibre connectivity to remote working and digital hubs across Ireland. REACH joins a network of successful hubs, including Dundalk's Creative Spark, Galway's PorterShed, and Skibbereen's Ludgate Hub, all of which have benefited from the initiative. With SIRO's full-fibre broadband offering speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second, the hub provides fast and reliable connectivity to meet the business needs of all companies and individuals working with the REACH hub. REACH offers a supportive environment for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups and freelancers to growing SMEs. The hub features 11 private offices, 10 hot desks, and shared workspaces, catering to a variety of business needs. It is already home to key organisations driving regional growth, including Tipperary Education and Training Board, a leading education and training provider, and Herdwatch, a Roscrea-founded agri-tech company transforming livestock and pasture management across Ireland, the UK, and beyond. REACH is set to become a key driver of business growth in Roscrea, offering entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers the space and connectivity they need to thrive. Its strategic location, combined with SIRO's full-fibre broadband, ensures that businesses can operate with the same level of digital infrastructure as those in any major urban centre. SIRO is a leading full-fibre broadband operator, rolling out a 100% fibre broadband network across Ireland. Its network is currently available in multiple locations across Tipperary, including Cashel, Nenagh, Thurles, Clonmel, and Roscrea. Brendan Hyland, Chairperson of REACH, thanked SIRO for their engagement and support of the project: "This project has taken many hours of dedication from the Board and supporters. Today, we are proud to stand in a modern, future-proof building that will attract enterprise and innovation to Roscrea. It will stand as a flagship for innovation and renewal in Roscrea. This outstanding facility has received over €2.3 million under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, which is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. Tipperary County Council has provided an additional €774,000 in funding." John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer, commented: "REACH is a fantastic addition to Roscrea, providing businesses with a state-of-the-art space to work, collaborate, and grow. Powered by SIRO's full-fibre broadband, this hub will help businesses and entrepreneurs compete on both a national and international scale. We are delighted to partner with Vodafone to deliver world-class connectivity to this hub and support Roscrea's economic regeneration." Ciaran Barrett, Commercial Operations Director of Vodafone Ireland, added: "Connectivity is more than just infrastructure - it's about empowering people and businesses to thrive. At Vodafone, we're committed to ensuring that every customer, whether in a city or a town like Roscrea, has access to the same high-quality digital experience. Through our partnership with SIRO, REACH will offer seamless fibre broadband that enables entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers to stay connected, productive, and competitive in today's world."

The Marine Institute's Explorers Education Programme is thrilled to announce its return to schools for the 2025-2026 school year, with an expansion that will bring marine-themed education to both coastal and inland counties across Ireland. This new nationwide reach is a testament to the program's success and growing demand for ocean literacy. "This expansion marks a significant milestone for the program, which has successfully delivered marine-themed educational content for nearly two decades," said Ms. Patricia Orme, Director of Corporate Services at the Marine Institute. "The sustained success of the Explorers Education Programme is a testament to its engaging and impactful approach to teaching students about our vital marine environment and supporting teachers in creating ocean literacy in the classroom. "We are delighted to support this expansion, reaching some inland counties through interactive online workshops and the continued development of our educational resources that are available to all schools online. This underscores our commitment to ensuring all young people are engaged in valuing and understanding the ocean's influence on our lives, and our impact on the ocean," she said. Dr. Noirin Burke from the Explorers Outreach Team, who will be leading the delivery to primary schools in inland counties, is particularly enthusiastic about this new chapter. "We are super excited to see the Explorers Education Programme expand to inland counties, bringing a wave of ocean literacy across the country," Dr. Burke noted. "Having grown up in Co. Tipperary, I understand how someone who lives away from the coast can still be passionate about the shoreline and spending time at the water. With nowhere in Ireland being far from the sea, an online interactive school module is a fantastic way of connecting students to our marine heritage and identity, and we are looking forward to exploring the ocean with all the schools we meet throughout the year." In addition to the online expansion, the Explorers Programme also welcomes eight new team members to its network, that will be providing outreach delivery to coastal counties all around Ireland. Cat and David McCann will be delivering the Explorers programme in Donegal, while new team members in Kerry, Elis Martineili and Dalia Alnajar, will also be delivering a range of marine-themed projects in schools in Limerick. New team members Claire Law and Lauren Cahill-Quinn in Cork, and Lauren Minion, Brian Parle, Angeleen Leckie-James and Rianna Carroll will be delivering in other key coastal counties around Ireland. Drawing on extensive backgrounds in both marine science and the primary school curriculum, these new and existing teams will provide teachers with expertise and support for a variety of engaging class projects and seashore safaris. Explorers project modules such as Learning about Squid, Fintastic Sharks, Turtle Talk with Sea Turtles, as well as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Deep-sea Species, are some of the favourite modules delivered by the team, with new content being launched throughout the next couple of months. The coastal teams will also offer hands-on experiences, from seashore adventures to bringing the seashore to the classroom with aquarium modules, also being extended in counties in Dublin and Wicklow. For further enquiries about making bookings with the Explorers team, please visit www.explorers.ie or make enquiries at: http://bit.ly/3HQMXA0. The Explorers Education Programme is funded by the Marine Institute and managed by Camden Education and Galway Atlantaquaria. The teams delivering the program include Galway Atlantaquaria, The Sea Collective, Leave No Trace - Ireland, Sea Synergy, Old Cork Waterworks Experience, Oceanics Surf School, and Seashorekids.

New figures released to Cynthia Ní Mhurchú reveal that while Clare Gardaí collected just over €585,000 in speed van fines between January 2023 and June 2025, neighbouring counties like Tipperary and Limerick saw significantly higher returns—raising concerns about enforcement gaps. Meanwhile, over €44 million has been paid to private speed camera operators nationally during the same period, prompting questions about the cost-effectiveness of the current system. For more on this, Sally-Ann Barrett was joined by Ireland South MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú.

In the summer of 1849, Patrick O'Connor, a prosperous London customs officer, vanished without warning. His trail ended in a quiet Bermondsey house, home to Frederick and Maria Manning—a married couple bound to him by secrets and suspicion. When O'Connor's body was found buried beneath their kitchen floor, whispers of greed, betrayal, and hidden passions spread across London.

Niamh Hassett and Sean Nugent join me in this special edition of the podcast, exploring a wonderful Tipperary tradition on Dublin's Talbot Street. When the Premier County reach an All Ireland Final, hundreds gather to remember Seán Treacy on the morning of the game. What began this tradition, and why is it growing in popularity?

Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· With Independent TD Catherine Connolly and former MEP Mairead McGuinness having declared their candidacy, there will now be at least two names in the race for the Áras. But with no sign yet of a clear candidate for Fianna Fáil or Sinn Féin, are any of the potential names currently being discussed likely to gain party support? · Fianna Fáil's Niall Collins would be 'very uncomfortable' with a one-size-fits-all approach to a blanket VAT cut for the hospitality sector, given that luxury and five-star hotels would benefit from a measure they don't necessarily need. Some Fine Gael Ministers are unhappy with Mr Collins for criticising a policy that would help support entry-level jobs in rural Ireland. · And as the humanitarian crisis deepens in Gaza, urgency around the Occupied Territories Bill increases. The inclusion of services is still the big question given the huge potential knock-on effects for some businesses here. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· A new exhibition exploring the legacy of the Magdalene Laundries, fifty years since the release of Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, and Joe Canning's take on Tipperary's triumph in the All-Ireland hurling final against Cork.
