Taoiseach Micheál Martin officially opened Ireland's first dedicated esports complex, the National Esports Centre, this weekend in Cork, marking a major milestone for the country's video gaming industry, digital education and tech sector.

The 11th annual I Wish Showcase, held today at the RDS in Dublin, saw 4,000 female students gather to be inspired to pursue a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Maths (STEM). Today's event - the largest I Wish Showcase to date - was officially opened by Taoiseach, Micheál Martin. Speaking ahead of the event, the Taoiseach said: "I'm delighted to attend today's event, with 4,000 brilliant young minds gathering under one roof, ready to reimagine the world through STEM. I Wish proves that with opportunity, role models and determination, there are no limits to what girls can achieve - breaking barriers, shattering stereotypes, and building a brighter, more inclusive future for all." With 45% of girls citing a lack of access to female role models as a barrier to STEM careers according to a recent I Wish survey, 46 speakers engaged directly with students at the all-island event, showcasing the power of visible role models in shaping aspirations and breaking barriers. Among them were Olympic sprint star Phil Healy; Olympic rower Zoe Hyde; Olympic relay star and Deloitte's Strategic Project Lead, Claire Dunne (née Bergin); and international rally driver Aoife Rafferty, who shared their journeys of perseverance, ambition and success. This year's event also features the largest-ever exhibition hall, with over 30 exhibitors from leading Irish and global companies and organisations showcasing exciting STEM career opportunities. Highlights included the Sport Innovation Hub in collaboration with Sport Ireland's HER Moves campaign, where students explored how technology is transforming sports through interactive activities like rowing machines, reaction boards and jersey design stations. The Food Science Hub, led by Carbery, Kerry Group and Dawn Meats, demonstrated STEM's impact on the food industry with machine learning tools, cheese-making tasks and problem-solving games. Engineering and construction activities range from a Giant Jenga game with Jones Engineering to mini-golf with Regeneron, alongside insights from companies such as Sisk, Crown and Dornan on the evolution of careers in construction. Students also discovered the role of STEM in business and innovation with IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. Adding to the excitement, the Podcast Hub, in collaboration with Virgin Media, allowed students to record live podcasts, with a select few invited to visit the studio post-event to record their own. I Wish co-founder Caroline O'Driscoll highlighted the significance of providing access to inspiring role models, stating: "The findings from our most recent annual survey report make it clear that while progress has been made, systemic barriers persist, preventing too many young girls from seeing STEM as a viable career path. Collectively, we must give real choices to girls and ensure that they have every opportunity to take their place in the economies of tomorrow. "At our Showcase, over 4,000 teenage girls get the opportunity to listen to the lived journeys of some amazing female trailblazers. This in turn allows them to see what a career in STEM is truly like, understand the variety of careers and pathways available and the positive impact that STEM has on our world." I Wish, a multi-award-winning programme showcasing the power of STEM to female students in Ireland and across the globe, has held its renowned annual Showcase since 2015, engaging with over 65,000 students in this time, hosting over 1,000 speakers, and partnering with over 130 industry leaders. I Wish co-founder, Gillian Keating extended her thanks to the leaders in STEM from pharmaceutical, technology, food, sports and engineering sectors taking part in the event: "Each year it is magical to watch the ambitions of young girls from across the country expanding in front of our very eyes as they take in all that they can be through careers in STEM. We're so grateful to our partners, both multinational and indigenous, who take part in the showcase demonstrating t...

The 42 revealed last week that RTÉ have lost the rights to show League of Ireland matches to Virgin Media - despite an early-year press release in which RTÉ appeared to assume they would be showing the games in 2025.On this week's episode, Sinéad and Gavin dig into this story - why did RTE and the LOI prove to be such a loveless marriage? Were RTÉ neglecting their public service remit by not screening LOI games more often, or were they right not to do so from a commercial perspective?They explore the eternal paradox of RTÉ's public service and commercial remits, discuss more broadly the role sport plays at RTÉ, and interrogate the role sport should play at RTÉ.Why is there such little clarity on how much money RTÉ makes from their live sport coverage? Is it appropriate for RTÉ to have so many sports rights, and is it time they launched a sport-specific channel on which to show the many sports they have?They also discuss why RTÉ's coverage been made so much more bland than it used to be, and whether they have erred in diminishing the role of 'personality pundits?'Plus, why is everyone so unhappy with The Sunday Game, and are RTÉ right to sell their share of GAAGO?Get in touch - sinead@thejournal.ie and gavincooney@the42.ieThis week's episode of The 42FM is brought to you by An Post Money.

Several female Olympians and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) graduates will lead an extraordinary lineup of speakers at the largest-ever 11th annual I Wish Showcase, taking place on 6 February at the RDS, Dublin. Olympic sprint star Phil Healy will be joined at the Showcase by rower Zoe Hyde, who also competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Claire Dunne, a member of the 4x400m relay squad at the London 2012 Olympic Games and now Head of Social Impact at Deloitte, will also speak. Together, they will inspire over 4,000 female teenage students from across the island to consider STEM careers, highlighting how advancements in STEM innovation drive success in sports and beyond. I Wish, a community committed to showcasing the power of STEM to teenage girls, has held its renowned annual Showcase - with inspirational speakers, interactive exhibitions and workshops - since 2015, engaging with over 62,000 students in this time, hosting over 1,000 speakers, and partnering with over 130 industry leaders. Registration is still open at iwish.ie/register. Speaking ahead of the event, Phil Healy said: "STEM drives innovation on and off the track. From the engineering of high-performance running shoes and the physics behind optimal sprinting techniques to the data analytics fine-tuning training plans, STEM is a part of my daily life as an athlete. I'm thrilled to share my journey and show how women in STEM are revolutionising every facet of sports. The I Wish Showcase is an incredible opportunity for young girls to see the endless possibilities available to them." TV host Sinead Kennedy, returning MC, will guide the event's programme, with more speakers to be announced in the coming weeks. There will be over 30 exhibitors, including key partners Deloitte, Dell Technologies, Merck, Virgin Media, Sport Ireland Her Moves Campaign, Johnson & Johnson, Regeneron, Qualcomm and more. I Wish co-founder Caroline O'Driscoll said: "The findings from our most recent annual survey report make it clear that while progress has been made, systemic barriers persist, preventing too many young girls from seeing STEM as a viable career path. Role models like Phil, Claire and Zoe are crucial in shifting this narrative. By showcasing women who have broken through these barriers, the I Wish Showcase provides tangible examples of success in STEM and empowers them to imagine their future in these industries. This is how we inspire change - by showing young girls the endless possibilities available to them." The 2025 I Wish Showcase will feature a new Sport Innovation Hub where attendees can explore how advancements in technology are revolutionising performance, training and competition. Additionally, the event will debut a Food Science Hub, offering a glimpse into how STEM is reshaping what we eat and how it's made. Other innovative hubs dedicated to construction, entrepreneurship and emerging STEM fields will showcase the latest breakthroughs shaping these industries. This year's event features ongoing transport partnerships with Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann, along with a new partnership with Translink, making the event fully accessible to students from Northern Ireland for the first time. Co-founder Gillian Keating added: The success of the I Wish Showcase is a testament to the power of collaboration and strategic partnerships. By drawing on the support of our industry leaders, educators, and transport partners that we have been able to connect young women with the resources and networks they need to choose and thrive in Stem careers that work for them. Together, we are building a community that champions inclusivity, equity, and opportunity for girls across the island of Ireland."" Beyond the annual showcase, I Wish has expanded its activities to a year-round suite of programmes, including a Tech for Good Programme, entrepreneurship programmes and the newly launched I Wish Primary Programme.

In this episode of The Public Relations Podcast, we dive into how aligning your messaging with your audience's mindset can lead to truly powerful results in PR-led marketing. Drawing from my experience as a journalist, I discuss how even the smallest shift in messaging can change the impact of a story—it's not about forcing a narrative but reflecting back what people already care about. I also introduce something new: The Public Relations Podcast Premium. It's a “hack a week” series, where I break down a specific strategy or technique that's working right now, and show you how to apply it step-by-step in your own campaigns. I created this because many of you asked for more detailed, actionable guidance—so if you're looking to go deeper and apply these ideas, Premium is where you want to be. In this episode, I also explore how Virgin Media's AI granny campaign cleverly taps into the universal frustration with spam calls and how you can use similar relatable tactics to connect with your audience. As we head into the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for being part of this community. I wish you a wonderful time with friends and family, no matter where in the world you're celebrating. We'll be back in the new year with more insights to help your campaigns connect with your audience.

When I appeared on Virgin Media television's "Ireland's Education Crisis," I thought my phone would be buzzing from radio stations eager to find out why I thought the way we treat children with additional needs is Ireland's 21st century scandal.

As you'll probably note from the length of this episode, I didn't get very far. However, as I was writing this episode, something happened. The NCSE announced new guidelines for allocating resources. Perhaps our next episode will spark some positivity?

For the first time, I'm finally telling my story—a story of how alcohol slowly destroyed my life, leaving me physically and mentally powerless, addicted & suicidal. I used to be a weekend-only drinker, fully focused on my career but one "hair of the dog" turned into drinking all week and, before I knew it, I was trapped in alcoholism. I was among the 9% of people with alcohol use disorder classified as chronic and severe—it consumed me entirely. Today, I share my story to give hope. If you feel like you've sunk so low that there's no way out, know that recovery is possible. A life beyond your wildest dreams awaits.

To coincide with National Play Day, which runs from July 13 -21, with the theme, 'Time to Play', Virgin Media, in partnership with Ipsos B&A, has commissioned research to highlight the crucial role of play in enhancing well-being and overall quality of life. The research reveals alarming statistics such as three in five young people are experiencing burnout, with those under 35 significantly more affected (61%) compared to older generations (12%). The study also found that young people are less satisfied with their quality of life, with around 59% of young adults being overall satisfied with the quality of life compared to 80% of those over 65. Despite these challenges, an overwhelming 86% of young people want to incorporate more play into their lives. Also surprisingly was the finding that 57% of respondents agree that play is more important than financial success. The research underscores the serious barriers to play, including time commitments, not having the required energy or head space, the cost-of-living crisis, and loneliness. As a result, 65% of respondents feel that the government should do more to encourage play, while 63% believe brands have a role to play. The findings reveal that 38% of young adults believe Irish people are too serious for play, compared to only 20% of those over 65. It also found that 56% of 25-34 year olds think other countries engage in more play than Ireland does. This sentiment underscores the need for societal change in attitudes towards play, with 65% advocating for government action and nearly half supporting the idea of a national play day for adults and children. As summer is upon us, 39% of Irish adults expressed a desire to go on holiday more frequently, specifically to engage in play. With 87% agreeing that play improves quality of life, the call for accessible and affordable play activities is louder than ever. Richard Hogan of TherapyInstitute.ie highlights the importance of play: "Play is not a frivolous activity, it's a fundamental component of our lives. From online virtual reality adventures to real life play and connection, play increases brain functions, decreased stress and improves wellbeing overall. Play is not just for children, it's for all of us at all stages in life." Paul Higgins, VP of Commercial at Virgin Media, said: "Virgin Media believes in the power of Play and this survey underlines the role our products and services have in providing connection, learning and entertainment - all key to play. With those products and services being used more and more we continue to enable digital play as our homes have become our offices, gyms, gaming hubs and cinemas. "With Virgin Media bringing Ireland's best broadband to more areas nationwide it allows more customers to escape into a world of play, and this increased usage and in home experience can empower our customers to unleash their play, in whatever way they choose."
