This week I had the opoprtunity to spend some time with independent presidential candidate Catherine Connolly, and I really enjoyed learning more about her and why she decided to seek the role of Uachtarán na hÉireann. We discuss some of the challenges facing Ireland at the moment, her early life growing up in social housing as one of fourteen, and why she thinks you should vote for her.Unfortunately, the table our microphones were on was a little wobbly which occasionally resulted in a little bump, but hopefully that's not too distracting.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.Come to the Catch Up Cabaret (ish) - get your tickets here.

Dúirt Uachtarán Stát Aontaithe Mheiriceá Donald Trump an tseachtain seo go raibh eacnamaíocht na Rúise i mbaol. An bhfuil an ceart aige?

Fianna Fáil's Jim Gavin has emerged as the candidate with the strongest national radio footprint in the run-up to the 2025 Presidential election, according to new research from Irish PR intelligence platform Everhaze. Analysis of 2,500 radio clips over the past twelve weeks shows that while Independent Catherine Connolly leads overall mentions (36.3%), Gavin (33.5%) pulls ahead in terms of national airwaves share, with 34.9% of his coverage on national talk formats. By contrast, Connolly's campaign is more heavily weighted to local outlets (68.6% of her coverage) and Heather Humphreys' profile is even more locally concentrated (71.3%). This national advantage translates into strong presence across high-reach talk shows such as The Pat Kenny Show, Newstalk Breakfast, and The Anton Savage Show, where margins between candidates are typically slim but Gavin remains consistently competitive. On local radio, however, Connolly retains the edge, leading in 13 counties including Donegal (+22pp) and Galway (+18pp). Gavin posts selective peaks (notably Louth, where he dominates with 77.5% of mentions) and converts his national presence into 8 county leads overall. Humphreys, meanwhile, has a more concentrated footprint, with standout strength in Cavan/Monaghan (+12pp lead). Sentiment analysis underscores a three-way contrast: Humphreys records the most positive net tone (+12pp), Gavin trends neutral-positive (+5pp), while Connolly faces a more polarised balance (?3pp). Speaking about the findings of the report, James McCann, CEO of Everhaze said: "With nominations closed and facing into the four week sprint, each candidate will be looking to own the share of voice across the national airwaves to capture undecided voters. Outside of Dublin the counties of Longford, Leitrim and Roscommon have heard the least from all candidates so far which is unsurprising given the battle for the urban centres of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. As the campaign heats up its every candidate's race to lose in presenting a clear narrative and message to the public." Everhaze is an Irish-built PR intelligence platform that tracks real-time media coverage across radio, print, and online sources in Ireland and the UK. Its technology combines broadcast capture with AI-driven analysis to map who is getting talked about, where, and in what tone. The platform is widely used by communicators to monitor campaigns, understand sentiment shifts, and measure share of voice. As part of the 2025 Presidential campaign, Everhaze has launched the "Battle of the Airwaves" tracker, a live view of how each candidate is performing week-by-week on radio. The tracker highlights: Share of voice across national vs local stations County-by-county exposure showing where candidates are winning or lagging Sentiment balance, capturing whether coverage is favourable, critical, or neutral Programme battlegrounds, where margins between rivals are razor-thin Updated weekly, the Battle of the Airwaves gives voters, journalists, and campaign teams a transparent lens on who is winning the media war as the race for Áras an Uachtaráin heats up.

 Catherine Connolly – A President for all of IrelandIn less than five weeks' time the next Uachtarán na hÉireann will be elected by the people of the 26 counties. Election day is 24 October. That the people of the North and of the diaspora will be denied a vote is a disgraceful consequence of the efforts over recent years by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael (FFFG) to prevent the extension of the presidential franchise. Both parties are frightened by the prospect of people, who have never voted for either party, voting in Presidential elections.  They want to retain the status quo not change it. This partitionist approach also influences the resistance of Micheál Martin and others to the growing potential for a referendum vote in favour of Irish Unity.Last weekend's decision by the Sinn Féin Ard Chomhairle to endorse Catherine Connolly's campaign is, to quote Mary Lou, a ‘game changer.' Sinn Féin has many capable, articulate leaders who would have been great candidates. But the party chose to join with others as part of a left alternative. This was a courageous decision which gives those who can vote in the election a clear choice between the conservative politics of FFFG or a progressive and positive alternative.  Cearta –Marching for RightsUnder the banner of CEARTA – meaning RIGHTS - tens of thousands took to the streets of Dublin on Saturday to demand equality for the Irish language. In scenes reminiscent of An Dream Dearg in Belfast three years ago, Irish speakers and activists from across the island, wearing their distinctive red with a white circle, marched from Parnell Square to the gates of Leinster House.The protest was an exuberant and joyful celebration of our language and culture and of the demand that the Irish government implement policy changes that will protect and enhance the lives of Irish speakers and of the Gaeltacht communities. There was live music from Ispíní na hÉireann, Niamh Ní Dhubhgháin and Breandán Ó Beaglaoich and others. Niamh Ní Dhubhgháin performed a song about the needs of young people, especially those living in Gaeltacht areas who are finding it impossible to buy or rent or build a home. Go raibh maith agat Bruce MorrisonIn two weeks' time there will be a celebration in New York to mark 30 years of the Morrison Visa Programme. The event will remember the introduction of the visa legislation that provided an estimated 45,000 Irish people with a legal pathway into the USA in the early 1990s.The Morrison Visa was the brainchild of former US Congressman Bruce Morrison who introduced a program that allocated visas to nationals who up to that point were underrepresented in US Immigration. Bruce however, is also known for his hard work in support of the peace process. He was part of a group of Irish American business, trade union and political leaders – the Connolly House Group – who played a pivotal role in creating the conditions for the 1994 IRA cessation. Bruce and his colleagues continued to be active for years afterward and Bruce remains so today. 

Agallamh le Harry McGee, Eagraí Polaitiúil de chuid The Irish Times faoin toghchán uachtaránachta i mbliaina - beo ar Eadra

Tá comhaontú leis an Roinn Sláinte, anois ag poitigéirí a fhagann go mbeidh deis acu oidis áirithe a sholáthar d'othair, ag tús na bliana seo chugainn.

Ag caint faoin imní atá ar shaineolaithe agus ar thuismitheoirí mar gheall ar an mhéid a dúirt Uachtarán Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá Donald Trump inné maidir leis an cheangal a deir sé atá idir an druga Paracetemol agus Uathachas.

Beidh díreach triúr iarrthóirí ag dul san iomaíocht sa toghchán uachtaránachta, agus is iad ar fad ainmnithe ag Páirtithe an Oireachtais. Ach cad é faoi na hiarrthóirí neamhspleácha, iad siúd nach raibh in ann an tairseach a bhaint amach agus a n-ainm a chur ar an ballot paper? Agus le lá na vótála ag teanadh linn, cén cineál Uachtaráin atá uainn anois? Ar Seachtain, tugann Ursula Savage, tráchtaire polaitíochta, spléachadh ar na hiarrthóirí, na conspóidí agus na knock-backs atá feicthe againn san fheachtas go dtí seo. Foclóir: Toghcheantar: Constituency Dul ar scor: Retire Deimhnithe: Confirmed Siar is aniar: Back and forth Comhbhá: Empathy or kinship Iarrthóirí neamhspléacha: Independent candidates Comhairle áitiúla: Local authority Ainmniúchán: Nomination Tairseach: Threshold Rathúil: Successful Luachanna: Values A mhalairt: The opposite Droch-tháithí: Bad experience Ní chuireann sí fiacail ina cuid focail: She doesn't mince her words Maitheas: Good or benefit As an ghnáth: Out of the ordinary Seicteachas: Sectarianism See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Na mílte páirteach inniu i mór-agóid, CEARTA, ar son na teanga. Thousands took part today in a major national protest on behalf of the Irish language and the Gaeltacht. Ghlac na mílte páirt inniu i mór-agóid náisiunta ar son na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta. The protest was called RIGHTS, and people came from all over the country to attend. CEARTA ab ainm don agóid, agus tháinig daoine ó gach cearn den tír le freastal uirthi. The crowds marched from Parnell Square to Leinster House. Mhairseáil na sluaite ó Chearnóg Parnell go dtí Teach Laighean. Irish and Gaeltacht groups participated, along with schools, third level students, co-operative teachers, musicians and families. Bhí grúpaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta páirteach ann, mar aon le scoileanna, mic léinn triú leibhéil, múinteoirí comharchumainn, ceoltóirí agus teaghlaigh. CEARTA was the first such national protest on behalf of the Irish language and the Gaeltacht in over a decade. Bhí CEARTA ar an gcéad agóid náisiúnta dá leithéid ar son na Gaeilge agus na Gaeltachta le breis agus deich mbliana anuas. Among their demands, they are seeking fair funding, the right to live in the Gaeltacht, reform of the education system, and the fulfillment of long-promised language rights, Conradh na Gaeilge said today. I measc na n- éileamh atá acu, tá siad ag lorg maoiniú cothrom, an ceart chun cónaí sa Ghaeltacht, athchóiriú ar an gcóras oideachais, agus comhlíonadh cearta teanga a gealladh le fada, a dúirt Conradh na Gaeilge inniu. In a statement issued by the Department of Rural, Community and Gaeltacht Development today, Minister Dara Calleary said that he is currently focusing on securing more funding for the language and the Gaeltacht in Budget 2026. I ráiteas a chuir an Roinn Forbartha Tuaithe 's Pobail agus Gaeltachta ar fáil inniu, dúirt an tAire Dara Calleary go bhfuil sé ag díriú faoi láthair ar níos mó maoinithe a fháil don teanga agus don Ghaeltacht i mBuiséad 2026. He also indicated that investment in the language has increased over the past five years. Thug sé le fios freisin go bhfuil ardú tagtha ar infheistíocht sa teanga le cúig bliana anuas. "It's true that we have more funding now." "Tá sé fíor go bhfuil nios mó maoinithe againn anois. "But that is true for every sector," said Julian de Spáinn, Secretary General of Conradh na Gaeilge at the protest today. Ach tá an méid sin fíor i gcás gach earnála" a dúirt Julian de Spáinn, Ard-Rúnaí Chonradh na Gaeilge ag an agóid inniu. "It's easy to have 'more' when the starting point is so low at first." "Tá sé furasta ‘níos mó' a bheith agat nuair atá an túsphointe chomh híseal ar dtús. The government spends only 0.1% of state expenditure on Irish and Gaeltacht matters. Ní chaitheann an rialtas ach 0.1 faoin gcéad de chaiteachas an stáit ar chúrsaí Gaeilge agus Gaeltachta. "That is scandalous and there is no other option now than to radically increase funding." Tá sé sin scanallach agus agus níl aon rogha eile anois seachas ardú radacach a dhéanamh ar an maoiniú." The protest also focused on language rights in the north. Díríodh freisin le linn na hagóide ar chearta teanga ó thuaidh. An Dream Dearg is a pressure group for the language in Northern Ireland. Is brúghrúpa ar son na teanga i dTuaisceart Éireann é An Dream Dearg. A spokesman for that group, Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin - who is also the current President of Conradh na Gaeilge - said that despite the Identity and Language Act being in force in the north for the past few years, the rights promised therein have been slow to come, with the DUP constantly obstructing any progress in that area, he said. Dúirt urlabhraí de chuid an ghrúpa sin, Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin - atá ina Uachtarán ar Chonradh na Gaeilge faoi láthair f...

Offaly. Tús leis an gComórtas Treabhdóireachta i gCo Uíbh Fhailí. The National Ploughing Championships began today in Scraggan in Co Offaly, the largest open-air gathering in Europe which is expected to be attended by 300,000 people over the next three days. Cuireadh tús inniu leis an gComórtas Náisiúnta Treabhdóireachta sa Screagán i gCo Uíbh Fhailí, an tóstal faoin aer is mó san Eoraip a meastar go bhfreastalóidh 300,000 duine air as seo go ceann trí lá. The event was officially opened by the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins, the last time he will hold that position as he is due to step down from office this year. Is é Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins a chuir tús oifigiúil leis an ócáid, an uair dheiridh a bheas an cúram sin air agus é le n-éirí as oifig i mbliana. Competitions, exhibitions, selling, buying, aerating and baccarat will take place at the major fair in the midlands that farmers flock to every year. Comórtais, taispeántais, díol, ceannach, aeraíocht agus bachram a bheas ar siúl ag an móraonach i lár tíre a mbíonn feirmeoirí ag triall air ina dtáinte gach uile bhliain. In addition to the fun, there will also be the seriousness and the future of the agricultural sector to be sifted by farmers and their representatives in light of the latest international trade agreements, in particular the Mercosur agreement. Chomh maith leis an súgradh, beidh an dáiríre ann freisin agus a bhfuil i ndán don earnáil talmhaíochta le criathrú ag feirmeoirí agus a n- ionadaithe i bhfianaise na socruithe trádála idirnáisiúnta is deireanaí, go háirithe comhaontú Mercosur. Farmers believe that this agreement could be very damaging to the beef and poultry sector in Ireland. Creideann feirmeoirí go bhféadfadh an comhaontú sin an-dochar a dhéanamh don earnáil mairteola agus éineola in Éirinn. Farmers are also concerned that their specific arrangement regarding the amount of nitrates they apply to their land will soon be ended. Tá imní ar fheirmeoirí freisin go gcuirfear deireadh go luath leis an socrú faoi leith atá acu maidir leis an méid níotráití a chuireann siad ar a gcuid talaimh. The European Union is asking them to apply less nitrates to the land in the future for environmental reasons, but the farmers claim that the proposed reduction is not necessary given the high water quality in this country. Tá an tAontas Eorpach ag iarraidh orthu níos lú níotráití a chur ar an talamh feasta de ghrá an chomhshaoil, ach maíonn na feirmeoirí nach bhfuil gá leis an laghdú atá molta agus caighdeán an uisce sa tír seo chomh hard anois. In addition to President Higgins, the people who are seeking to replace him will also be attending the fair in Scregán at various times this week. Chomh maith leis an Uachtarán Higgins, na daoine atá ag iarraidh teacht ina áit, tabharfaidh siad féin sciuird ar an aonach sa Screagán ag tráthanna éagsúla an tseachtain seo.

Maraíodh seisear déag agus gortaíodh duine is fiche eile ar an Elevador da Glória i lár na cathrach, a iompraíonn turasóirí agus muintir na háite idir cearnóg lárnach, Praça dos Restauradores, agus Bairro Alto, ceantar eile a bhfuil siamsaíocht oíche ann. Bhí daoine ó thíortha éagsúla i measc na n-othar gortaithe, lena n-áirítear an Ghearmáin, an Spáinn, an Fhrainc, an Iodáil, an Eilvéis, Ceanada, an Chóiré Theas, Maracó agus Rinn Verde. Deir an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha nach bhfuil aon saoránach Éireannach i measc na dtaismeach. Tharla an timpiste mar gur bhris an cábla agus gur sciorr an carr den rian. D'fhógair an rialtas sa Phortaingéil Lá Náisiúnta Dobróin agus tá fiosrúchán ar siúl.Tá Conor McGregor tar éis físeán a phostáil lasmuigh d'Fhoirgnimh an Rialtais, ag impí ar dhaoine dul i dteagmháil lena gcomhairleoirí contae chun tacú leis mar iarrthóir uachtaránachta. Chun a bheith ar an mbosca ballóide, caithfidh sé ceithre údarás áitiúla nó 20 ball den Oireachtas a fháil lena thaobh. Osclóidh fuinneog na n-ainmniúchán amárach agus caithfear iad a chur isteach roimh an cheathrú lá is fiche de mhí Mheán Fómhair. I bhfíseán dhá nóiméad go leith, luaigh sé Forógra na Saoirse agus rinne sé comhartha na croise ag an deireadh. I mí na Samhna anuraidh, d'aimsigh giúiré i dtriail shibhialta go ndearna McGregor ionsaí gnéis ar Nikita Hand in 2018, agus tugadh damáistí beagnach €250,000 di. Chaill sé a achomharc sa chás i mí Iúil i mbliana. Tá sé ráite ag Donald Trump, Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, go mb'fhéidir go gcuirfeadh sé comhaontuithe trádála ar ceal má deir an Chúirt Uachtarach go raibh na taraifí a thug sé isteach neamhdhleathach. Rialaigh cúirt achomhairc le déanaí nach raibh údarás aige na taraifí a ghearradh gan cead na Comhdhála. Deir Trump go bhfuil muinín aige go rialóidh an Chúirt Uachtarach ina fhabhar, ach d'admhaigh sé go mbeadh caillteanas mór ann dá gcaillfeadh sé. Mhaígh sé freisin go raibh an tAontas Eorpach ag íoc “beagnach trilliún dollar” leis na Stáit Aontaithe, cé gur i ndáiríre is iad lucht iompórtála Meiriceánach a íocann na taraifí sin. Rinne an Seanadóir Mitch McConnell comparáid idir polasaithe Trump maidir leis an gheilleagar agus gnóthaí eachtracha agus polasaithe na naoi déag tríochaidí, agus é ag rá gurb é seo "an tréimhse is contúirtí ó roimh an Dara Cogadh Domhanda".*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Our 1916The eight months of the 1981 hunger strike campaign changed the political landscape in Ireland. It was as Síle Darragh, former O.C. of the republican women prisoners in Armagh Women's Prison, said recently, “our 1916.” It began on 1st March 1981. When it ended on 3rd October ten hungerstrikers were dead. Bobby Sands had been the first to die on May 5th. He was followed over the following four summer months up to August by Francis Hughes, Raymond McCreesh, Patsy O Hara, Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty, Thomas McElwee, and Micky Devine.On Sunday last people came in their thousands, from all parts of the island of Ireland, and from overseas, to participate in the annual August march and to honour and commemorate the ten who died forty-four years ago in the H blocks and others who starved to death decades before this including Frank Stagg and Michael Gaughan who died in the 1970s in prison in England. The stories of the ten hunger strikers and of their comrades in the H-Blocks and Armagh Women's Prison, who spent five years on the protest for political status, are many. The brutal physical and mental abuse the women and men endured in defence of the struggle for freedom and in rejection of the label ‘criminal,' has been articulated in a series of books, poems and articles. These include Ten Men Dead by David Beresford; Seachtain an an Bhlaincéad by Ruairí Ó Dónaill; The Crunch has come by Eoghan MacCormaic, written while he was in the H-Blocks and using the pen name Frankie O ‘Brien; Nor Meekly Serve my Time by some of the POWs; John Lennon is Dead by Síle Darragh; Time Shadows by Laurence McKeown; 6000 Days by Jim (Jaz) McCann: ; Pluid: Scéal na mBlocanna H, 1976-81 by Eoghan MacCormaic; Playing My Part by Gerry Kelly; and the many poems and articles written by Bobby Sands. And there are others including by this writer.Speaking at the Republican Plot in Milltown Cemetery where Bobby Sands, Joe McDonnell and Ciaran Doherty are buried, Uachtarán Mary Lou McDonald caught the legacy and memory of that time when she described the hungerstrikers as: “Ten brave Irish men who laid down their lives on hunger strike for the freedom of their country. Starved and persecuted they lay in the H-Blocks and with every sinew of their being, they refused to be criminalised, refused to be broken, refused to be defeated.” She said: “For them, we will do the work, we will walk the extra yards, we will write our nation's next chapter – Ireland, united and free… Joined by heroic women in Armagh Gaol, they hungered not only for political status, but for the Ireland envisaged by the proclamation – for the Republic… The legacy of the hunger strikers calls to us today.  To stay true to vision and the dream for which they gave everything. To never despair. Never lose hope. Never give up.”Perhaps one of the most emotional moments of the day was as the huge march made its way along the Falls Road toward Milltown. A huge banner of Bik McFarlane was unfurled as the march rounded the bend on the Falls Road, just above Beechmount. The blanket men and women who were leading the commemoration stopped and for a minute lifted their clenched fists in silent salute to the friend and comrade who had led them through that terrible year.In his contribution to Guthanna '81, published last Saturday, Bik, who died earlier this year, wrote about that experience. His account provides an insight, into t

Deir John Joe nach bhfuil na feirmeoirí sásta ar chorr ar bith leis an tslí a bhfuil an stát ag brú Bealaigh Glasa ar cheantair tuaithe.

Plé ar an bhfógra d'Inis Oirr agus ar chúrsaí Gaeltachta agus oileáain. Plé freisin ar an réiteach don cháinaisnéis. An é Jim Gavin a bheidh mar iarrthóir FhF don thoghchán Uachtaránachta.

Roimh deireadh na bliana beidh an tír ag caitheamh vóta leis an deichiú Uachtarán na hÉireann a thoghadh. Cé nach ról polaitiúil atá ann, tá tionchar láidir ag an Uachtarán agus iad ag úsáid an ardán, le bunluachanna a n-Uachtaránacht a chur chun cinn. I gcás Mícheál D. Ó hUiginn, thug sé tacaíocht leanúnach do chur chun cinn na Gaeilge le linn a théarma oifige — agus i rith a shaoil ghairmiúil ar fad. Ach cé hiad na hUachtaráin eile a bhí againn a d'imir ról nach beag ar ár dteanga dhúchais, agus, an bhfuil sé tábhachtach go mbeadh Gaeilge ag an Uachtarán? ­ Láithreoir: Tessa Fleming, Aoi: Katie Whelan ­ Foclóir: ­ Dlúthnasc: Strong connection ­ Dearbhú: Declaration ­ Abhcóidí: Advocates ­ Uachtaránacht: Presidency ­ Fréamhacha: Roots ­ Dílis: Faithful ­ Achoimre: Summary ­ Ionadaíocht: Representation ­ Corrach: Fraught ­ Teacht sna sála: To come on the heel of ­ Ard-Rúnaí: General Secretary ­ Tiomanta: Driven ­ Cur chun cinn: Promote ­ Activities: Gníomhaíochtaí ­ Le linn: During ­ In general: I gcoitinne ­ An-cheanúil ar: Very fond of ­ Feiceálacht: Visibility ­ Figh: WeaveSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an 23ú lá de mhí Lúnasa. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin.Tharla cruinniú mullaigh idir Uachtarán na Stát Aonaithe Donald Trump agus Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin in Alasca Dé hAoine an tseachtain seo caite inar phléadar an cogadh san Úcráin agus na roghanna atá ann chun deireadh a chur leis.Cuireadh an cairpéad dearg amach do Putin agus, i ndiaidh an chruinnithe, dúirt Trump nach raibh gá le sos comhraic agus go mbeadh sé ag iarraidh comhaontú síochána a dhéanamh ina ionad san. Spreag an ráiteas san imní i measc ceannairí Eorpacha agus go háirithe san Úcráin, ar eagla go mbeadh orthu talamh sa Donbas a ghéilleadh don Rúis. Chuaigh Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky agus roinnt ceannairí Eorpacha go dtí an Teach Bán Dé Luain chun an plean a phlé le Trump. Dúirt Trump go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh cruinniú mullaigh a shocrú anois idir Zelensky agus Putin ach níl aon rud beartaithe go fóill.Tá fórsaí míleata Iosrael tar éis 60,000 saighdiúir cúltaca a ghairm chun seirbhíse agus iad ag tosnú le hionsaí nua ar Chathair Gaza in ainneoin an cháinte idirnáisiúnta. Maíonn na hIosraelaigh go bhfuil siad ag iarraidh deireadh a chur le Hamas leis an ionsaí so ach tá eagraíochtaí daonnúla ag tabhairt rabhadh go bhfuil ar Phalaistínigh teitheadh ón gcathair agus go bhfuil sé mar sprioc ag na hIosraelaigh an chathair a bhánú. Tá forghabháil Iosrael, agus aon mhéadú sna hionsaithe, mídhleathach de réir an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Cháin Ard-Rúnaí na Náisiún Aontaithe, Antonio Guterres, na forbairtí is déanaí agus d'impigh sé ar Iosrael agus Hamas teacht ar sos comhraic. Mhol sé d'Iosrael na forbairtí lonnaíochta nua sa Bhruach Thiar a stopadh chomh maith. Scoiltfeadh an lonnaíocht mhídhleathach seo an Bruach Thiar ó Iarúsailéim Thoir agus bheadh sé ana-dheacair réiteach dhá stát a fháil dá bharr. Chomh maith leis sin, dhearbhaigh eagraíocht a bhfuil tacaíocht na Náisiún Aontaithe aici go bhfuil gorta ar siúl go hoifigiúil in Gaza anois.Tá an duais liteartha Polari curtha ar ceal tar éis conspóide leis an údar Éireannach John Boyne. Is duais í a cheiliúrann litríocht LADTA an duais Polari ach tharraing sí conspóid nuair a ainmníodh John Boyne dá leabhar Earth. Tá cáil ar Boyne mar gheall ar a leabhar The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas ach spreag sé cáineadh géar le déanaí de bharr a chuid tuairimí faoi dhaoine trasinscneacha. Scríobh Boyne alt san Irish Independent cúpla seachtain ó shin inar thug sé tacaíocht don údar achrannach J.K. Rowling agus a seasamh i gcoinne cearta trasinscneacha. Tharraing go leor údair eile amach as an bhfadliosta mar gheall ar ainmniúchán Boyne, chomh maith le beirt mholtóirí. D'fhógair Polari go gcuirfí an duais ar ceal i mbliana mar gheall ar an gconspóid agus go ndéanfaidís iarracht níos mó moltóirí trasinscneacha a chur ar an bpainéal as so amach. Chuir Boyne ráiteas amach inar sheas sé lena thuairimí agus inar mhaígh sé go bhfuair sé bulaíocht mhillteanach le linn na conspóide.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Is mise Gwyneth Nic Aidicín Ní Loinsigh.D'fhógair iarrthóir uachtaránachta Fíne Gael, Mairéad McGuinness, ar an Déardaoin go bhfuil sí ag tarraingt amach as an bhfeachtas Uachtaránach. Dúradh nach cinneadh éasca ab ea ann ach tar éis tréimhse san ospidéal go bhfuil a sláinte curtha chun tús aici. I ráiteas an pháirtí tugadh tacaíocht di agus dúradh go mbuailfidh Comhairle Feidhmiúcháin Fíne Gael le chéile go luath leis an gcéad chéim eile a phleanáil, ach níl sé soiléir cé eile a rithfidh dóibh. Tá an TD Neamhspleách Catherine Connolly ó Ghaillimh Thiar ag báiliú tacaíocht ar an eite chlé, an t-aon iarrthóir anois tar éis feachtas a lainseáil agus leis an tacaíocht atá de dhíth chun ainmniúchán a bhaint amach. Níl sé soiléir an gcuirfidh Fianna Fáil iarrthóir ar aghaidh, tá plé inmheánach fós ar siúl ag Sinn Féin agus tá roinnt ainmneacha neamhspleácha sa chomhrá ach níl aon iarrthóir láidir le feiceáil fós.

Maraíodh seachtar san iomlán nuair a bhuail drón Iosraelach pobal lasmuigh d'ospidéal al-Shifa i gcathair Gaza a bhí ag tabhairt dídeán do na meáin. Maraíodh beirt chomhfhreagraithe; Anas al-Sharif agus Mohammed Qreiqeh, agus beirt cheamaradóirí; Ibrahim Zaher agus Mohammed Noufal. Bhí cáil ar Anas al-Sharif go háirithe mar ghuth láídir ó thús an chogaidh a chuir an fhírinne faoin uafás atá á dhéanamh ag Iosrael i nGaza ar stáitse domhanda. Is é an cogadh seo an cogadh is marfaí d'iriseoirí riamh, agus beagnach 270 iriseoir agus oibrí na meáin maraithe ag Iosreal ón 7 Deireadh Fomhair 2023. Sin níos mó ná gach iriseoir a maraíodh i ngach cogadh mór ón gCogadh Cathartha i Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá go dtí an lá atá inniú ann, curtha le chéile.Bhuaigh Gaillimh Cluiche Ceannais Camógaíochta na hÉireann an bhliain seo, tar éis cluiche drámatúil in aghaidh Chorcaí.

Tá sé socraithe gur ar an Aoine bheag seo i Alaska, Mheirceá a bheas Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin agus Uachtarán na Stáit Aontaithe Donald Trump ag teacht le chéile ach tá brú a chur ag go leor ceannairí domhanda go mbeadh an Úcráin páirteach sna cainteanna chomh maith.
