Breifne Earley is joined by Avril Brierley to review another dramatic week in the SSE Airtricity League Women's Premier Division before looking ahead to Friday night's All-Island Cup Final.The episode begins with the midweek action as Athlone Town and Shelbourne shared the points in a hard-fought encounter, while Peamount United edged DLR Waves thanks to an early Eleanor Ryan Doyle strike.Attention then turns to a fascinating weekend of league action.Athlone Town bounced back with an assured 3-0 victory away to Cork City, while DLR Waves produced one of their biggest results of the season by snatching a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Bohemians.Shelbourne's clinical display against Waterford also comes under the spotlight, with Halle Harcourt's first-half hat-trick setting the tone as the Reds continued to build momentum ahead of a huge week.Treaty United's impressive away victory over Peamount United is another major talking point, before Sligo Rovers' disciplined 1-0 victory over Wexford FC continues the Bit O' Red's impressive run of form and strengthens their position in the league.The standout match of the weekend came in Moyne Villa, where Galway United raced into a 3-0 first-half lead against Shamrock Rovers before the visitors mounted a remarkable comeback to earn a 3-3 draw.

Do you have employee engagement data sitting in a survey report with no plan for turning it into action?In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Wilson Kirkpatrick, Director of People Operations at Waterford.org, to talk about how they used employee engagement data to design a coaching program that strengthened leadership trust and psychological safety.Many nonprofit leaders collect engagement survey data every year, but once the report comes back, it often sits untouched. That data only becomes valuable when you pair it with a deliberate cycle of listening, understanding, and acting, turning a single survey into an ongoing system for organizational growth.▶️ How to Align Learning with Data with Nonprofit HR Leader Wilson Kirkpatrick▶️ Key Points:00:00:00 Wilson's Path Into HR and People Operations00:05:21 Inside Waterford.org's Mission and Team00:06:16 Turning Employee Engagement Data Into a Business Case for Coaching00:11:31 Prioritizing Quick Wins When Rolling Out Coaching00:15:23 Measuring the Results: Engagement Score Improvements00:17:18 Advice for Leaders Who Feel Intimidated by Data00:19:02 Where to Find the Data Already Inside Your OrganizationResources from this episode:Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collectiveConnect with WilsonLinkedIn: Wilson KirkpatrickWebsite: waterford.org Connect with HeatherLinkedIn: Heather BurrightWebsite: skillmastersmarket.comBook an interest call with Heather here.⭐Was this episode helpful?

Richie was joined by his childhood friend, Nigel Coad, who comes from one of Ireland's most celebrated footballing families. The Coad's of Waterford have produced League of Ireland stars and international players, earning immense respect and affection throughout Irish football.In 2018, Nigel's older brother, David, died in tragic circumstances. Deeply loved and sorely missed, David remains very much in Nigel's thoughts. Last week, however, something extraordinary happened—an experience so remarkable that it left Nigel, ordinarily a sceptic when it comes to such matters, convinced that David was reaching out to him.Nigel shares his deeply personal and compelling story with Richie. Richie's fiancée, Caroline, a researcher with a longstanding interest in metaphysics, also joins the conversation to explore questions surrounding the afterlife, signs from departed loved ones, and whether those who have passed on may still find ways to communicate with us.

It's Monday, July 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Christian pastor, father of 16, needs your help As you know, Nigeria has become the epicenter of Christian martyrdom in the world. In the initial 96 days of 2026, from January 1 to April 6, Muslims killed 1,402 Nigerian Christians. Shockingly, that represents 72% of Christians killed worldwide.  In 2025, 3,490 Nigerian Christians were martyred.  A total of 52,000 brothers and sisters in Christ have lost their lives in the last decade.  Plus, Nigeria has been going through severe economic challenges as well, most of which are due to the country's 30% inflation rate.  Some Worldview listeners here in America are trying to help Nigerian Pastor G, a man they know personally and the father of 14 children, move to the United Kingdom for their safety and a better economic opportunity. Currently, his family lives in a small, one bedroom/one bath apartment with no kitchen. They use a small hallway as the place to prepare food. The family has three sets of triple bunk beds jammed in the bedroom, family room, and hallway. In addition, the power outages are frequent in Nigeria, which means that there's little to no air circulation in their tiny apartment.  Through a GoFundMe page, these American friends are helping raise the money needed to pay for a larger 3-bedroom apartment where the family of 16 can reside while they're gathering their required documents and visas. Other expenses include the air fare for the family and the initial three months of living expenses in the United Kingdom until the working-aged family members find jobs. Galatians 6:2 says, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Check out Pastor G's 3-minute-long personal appeal, Pastor G's YouTube ministry channel, and a 41-minute documentary about the persecution in Nigeria called Faith Under Fire. We have them all linked in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.  U.S. and Iran enter technical talks to secure peace deal The U.S. and Iran held technical talks in Doha, Qatar on July 1st as they seek to agree on the flow of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and secure a lasting ceasefire, reports Reuters. The talks are based on a 14-point interim accord signed last month that was meant to halt the war that began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in February and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, whilst setting up 60 days of negotiations for a permanent peace deal. However, the U.S. and Iran have sparred publicly over the meaning of the interim pact, leading to military strikes over the past week.  Iran is determined to win international recognition of its control over the strait and its ability to levy fees on ships entering or leaving the Persian Gulf even if it has to do so by force. Traffic has partially resumed through the strait, which handled one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade before the war. Iran has stated publicly that its priorities include agreeing on management of the Strait of Hormuz and the release of $6 billion in Iranian frozen assets. The current round of discussions would focus on those two issues. The stated priority of the U.S. is to ensure the free flow of traffic through the strait. President Donald Trump faces political pressure to contain the economic fallout from the war with Iran before midterm elections in November that will determine control of the U.S. Congress. In Iran, the theocratic leadership survived the war, but faces domestic anger over a shattered economy. Oil prices, which dipped sharply in the second quarter of the year, fell more than 1% on July 1st. The interim deal between the U.S. and Iran also provides for an end to a parallel conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. House passes online protections to shield children from porn The House successfully passed its internet safety package for children while the Senate continues to stall, reports The Daily Signal.   The Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act includes a key amendment that would protect children from viewing sexual content online, a statistic that continues to grow. Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, a mother of seven, who attends Oakland Christian Church with her husband Illinois GOP State Representative Chris Miller, sponsored the KIDS Act.  It combines 14 digital safety bills, including a key age-verification amendment. The Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net Act would require platforms to use technology verification tools to ensure the accuracy of age verification to prevent minors from accessing sexual material. Congresswoman Miller said, “Sadly, the average age that our children are accessing pornography on the internet is 11, and by the time our children turn 18, 80% of them have access to pornography. Parents are doing their best, but the truth is, with a few clicks of a button, kids can access this filth. Research shows that it causes anxiety, depression, and risky sexual behavior. It's a rot to the soul of our children.” Congresswoman Miller added, “We require age identification for children to access other things like tobacco, alcohol, firearms, casinos, and any kind of adult entertainment. You have to prove your age. So, that's all this bill does. It requires the pornography companies to make the user prove their age.”  The KIDS Act has been sent to the Senate. Call your 2 U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vote for the KIDS Act to protect children from pornography. In Matthew 18:10, Jesus said, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in Heaven their angels always see the face of My Father in Heaven." And send a 2-sentence thank you note to Congresswoman Mary Miller for her bold stand to protect the innocence of children. Send it to 3236 Broadway St, Suite 200, Quincy, IL 62301. Idaho: First state to institute firing squad for execution Idaho became the first state to institute a firing squad as the primary execution method for death row inmates, reports One America News. The change went into effect on July 1st  after the state legislature passed the law in 2025. However, lethal injection remains an alternative method. Other states have the firing squad explicitly listed as an alternative method including Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah. Martyrdom of Czech reformer Jan Hus in 1415 Six hundred eleven years ago today, on July 6th, 1415, Jan Hus, a Czech theologian and reformer, was burned at the stake in Constance, Germany for so-called “heresy.”  Hus denounced the moral failings of Catholic clergy, bishops, and even the papacy from his pulpit. He also objected to the Catholic teaching of indulgences, a financial gift to the church that would somehow shorten a dead Catholic's time in purgatory, a place nowhere substantiated in Scripture. Before his brutal execution, a tall paper hat was allegedly put upon his head with the inscription that meant “the leader of a heretical movement.” Worldview listeners in Indiana and New York weigh in I've asked for Worldview listeners to let me know why they like the broadcast in emails including their full name, city and state.   In an email sent to Adam@TheWorldview.com,  Adam Brouwer in Fort Wayne, Indiana wrote, “I just finished listening to today's newscast. I want to thank you for being biblically grounded . It's a great start to the day. It allows us to focus on what's going on around the world in a Christ-centered way. Keep up the great work.” And Sharon Jenx in Unadilla, New York said, “I started listening to The Worldview about three month ago. I love that only news is presented and your perspective is supported by God's opinion, articulated in His Word, not the world's!” 12 Worldview listeners gave $4,140 last Friday And finally, last Friday, 12 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another 365 days. Our thanks to Bennie in Clintwood, Virgina and Nancy in Edmonds, Washington – both of whom gave $25, as well as Holly in San Antonio, Texas who gave $40.

And we're grateful to God for Chris in Columbus, North Carolina and Thomas in Wasilla, Alaska – both of whom pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600 each as well as Shane in Elbert, Colorado who pledged $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200. Those 12 gifts added up to $4,140. That's the most given in the first three days of July. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $6,702. (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $24,173 by this Friday, July 10th toward our $123,500 finish line come July 31st. We need to find 5 Worldview listeners who will pledge $100 per month for 12 months or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 15 folks who will pledge $50/month or a give one-time gift of $600 and 30 listeners who will pledge $25 per month or give a one-time gift of $300.

A Waterford councillor has given an urgent warning to people jumping off a Waterford bridge for fun.Donnchadh Mulcahy, a Sinn Féin Councillor for Dungarvan / Lismore in Co. Waterford said the activity of jumping off the Lismore Bridge is an “accident waiting to happen”...He joins Ciara, as well as Ellie Palmer, Regional Education Officer with Water Safety, to discuss.

A listener got in touch after her friend booked a family break in a hotel in Waterford… only to arrive and find the place “full of immigrants” (as she called them). So we ask the question: should hotels have to tell paying guests if part of the hotel is being used to house asylum seekers? Adrian says it's nobody's business who else is staying there, while callers argue about safety, “unvetted men”, privacy, and the reality that a third of Irish hotels are involved. From boycott threats to claims of entitlement, the debate gets heated, messy, and very honest. Strictly over 18s.

The Unity Bill passes its First stageThe “Planning for Constitutional Change Bill 2026”, which I referenced in last week's column, has passed its first hurdle in the Dáil. It will now go to second stage on 7 July and then on to the Committee stage before returning to the Dáil later in the year.The Bill sets clear goals and timetables for measures that have to be taken to properly plan and prepare for constitutional change on the island of Ireland. It does so in accordance with the provisions of the Good Friday Agreement.It requires the Taoiseach to prepare and publish a Green Paper within 12 months. This has to address issues as diverse as public finance, taxation, public services, human rights, governance arrangements and relations between Britain and Ireland. The Bill also obliges the Government to establish a Citizens' Assembly on Irish unity within six months of the publication of the Green Paper. Convened and funded by the Department of An Taoiseach, this will bring together representatives of the people of Ireland from all communities and citizens who have a stake in the future.Clodagh GoodLast Saturday I joined hundreds of people in Knock Methodist Church for a celebration of the life of Clodagh Good. The Church was filled to overflowing with political representatives from over the last four decades or so, of all political hues including Gerry Kelly, Jim Gibney and Richard McAuley. It was a beautiful, uplifting and inclusive event. As was befitting the woman we came to honour. Clodagh Good, nee Coad, is the wife of Harold Good. Harold was a key figure in our peace process. He did extraordinary work, not least with Fr Alex Reid.  He was one of those from what is usually described as the Protestant tradition who went beyond the rhetoric and into the essence of that tradition to explore how it could be a catalyst for positive change. A catalyst for good.  The Methodists are like that. Especially Clodagh. She was from Waterford. As Irish as the day is long. With strong yet gentle religious beliefs which anchored her life. A woman of good humour with an unassuming practical good natured welcoming attitude to those of us lucky to enjoy her hospitality. She and Harold married sixty years ago. She left the tranquillity of Waterford to journey with him throughout Methodist institutions far and wide before making her home in the North.The Arts in a New IrelandThe Sean O'Casey Community Centre is in East Wall, Dublin. It is an excellent local facility providing a range of amenities for the community, including a playschool and crèche, a sports hall and 7 a-side pitch, and facilities for senior citizens. It also has a wonderful theatre. Last Thursday Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland held a well-attended public discussion there on ‘The Arts in a New Ireland'. About 70 people participated in a thoughtful, informative and enjoyable conversation.Aengus O'Snodaigh TD welcomed everyone and spoke briefly about the many advantages and opportunities for the Arts community that Irish unity can bringSlánFinally, Keir Starmer announced his resignation on Monday. His support for Israel in its military actions against the people of Palestine and the Labour government's disgraceful criminalising of those opposing the genocide, undoubtedly played a significant part in undermining his leadership. Along with the electoral successes of Plaid Cymru and the Scottish National Party there is a changing political dynamic emerging within the British political system. It is an opportunity for those of us who believe in Irish Unity to grasp this moment. Keir Starmer did nothing for Ireland. His successor may not do any better. That is why, relying on our own strength, we must press on. Until we prevail and our people, all of us, decide our own future.
