Again email follow@bestcelticmusic Last month, I led my Celtic Invasion of County Wexford. We visited the National 1798 Irish Rebellion Museum. I learned a lot. In the summer of 1798, in the town of Enniscorthy, a spark was lit that echoed across the centuries. Inspired by the ideals of liberty and self - determination that fueled the American and French Revolutions, ordinary Irish men and women rose up against British rule—hoping to shape a freer, more equal Ireland. The United Irishmen, a movement of Protestants and Catholics alike, dreamed of unity. But their rebellion was met with brutal force. The most haunting chapter came to a head on Vinegar Hill, where rebels made their last stand. Though the 1798 Rebellion was crushed, the spirit behind it lived on. It became a quiet current beneath Irish history, resurfacing again in 1916 during the Easter Rising—and carrying through to modern Ireland. Today's episode features songs and tunes inspired by the 1798 rebellion. These are songs of hope, defiance, heartbreak, and memory. This episode is not about blame. They're about telling the stories of those who dared to dream of freedom. GET AN IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST ALBUM PIN Want to wear your love of Celtic music?

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/ykcxresb Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Irish Water is asking the public to be economical. Uisce Éireann ag iarraidh ar an bpobal a bheith tíosach. Irish Water is appealing to the public to conserve water from now on due to the hot weather. Tá Uisce Éireann ag achainí ar an bpobal uisce a chaomhnú as seo go ceann scaithimh mar gheall ar an aimsir the. The company says the heatwave is draining water supplies and is already causing drought in 31 watersheds in twelve counties. Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil soláthairtí uisce á ndísciú ag an teaspach agus go bhfuil sé ina thriomach cheana féin i 31 abhantrach in dhá chontae dhéag. The counties in question are Tipperary, Waterford, Offaly, Cork, Galway, Donegal, Meath, Kilkenny, Westmeath, Laois, Clare and Wexford. Is iad na contaetha atá i gceist Tiobraid Árann, Port Láirge, Uíbh Fhailí, Corcaigh, Gaillimh, Dún na nGall, An Mhí, Cill Chainnigh, An Iarmhí, Laois, An Clár agus Loch Garman. It is not an absolute drought and the water supply in those areas is "being managed", the company says. Ní dearbhthriomach atá ann agus tá an soláthar uisce sna háiteanna sin "á bhainistiú", a deir an comhlacht. However, Irish Water has declared conservation orders in three locations, namely, Mullingar in County Westmeath; Milford in County Donegal; and Kells- Oldcastle in County Meath. Mar sin féin, tá orduithe caomhnaithe fógartha ag Uisce Éireann i dtrí áit, mar atá, An Muileann gCearr i gCo na hIarmhí; Baile na nGallóglach i gCo Dhún na nGall; agus Ceanannas-An Seanchaisleán i gCo na Mí. In addition, the company says that it may still be a drought in other places as well, including Dublin. Ina cheann sin, deir an comhlacht go mb'fhéidir go mbeadh sé ina thriomach fós in áiteanna eile freisin, Baile Átha Cliath ina measc. Temperatures are expected to reach 28 degrees in parts of the country from now until at least Saturday, and people across the country are being urged to be water-efficient while the heatwave lasts. Meastar go mbeidh an teocht chomh hard le 28 céim in áiteanna sa tír as seo go Dé Sathairn ar a laghad, agus táthar ag iarraidh ar dhaoine ar fud na tíre a bheith stuama tíosach ó thaobh uisce de fad is a mhairfidh an brothall. Despite the fact that this country receives a lot of rainfall, Irish Water says that a lot of it is lost due to the poor condition of the national water network infrastructure and much of it being outdated. In ainneoin go dtiteann go leor báistí sa tír seo, deir Uisce Éireann go gcailltear go leor di mar gheall ar an drochbhail atá ar infreastruchtúr an líonra náisiúnta uisce agus cuid mhór de seanchaite.

We're on the edge of a cliff and the way out is through - through the obfuscations and extractive values and downright lies of predatory capitalism.  Through to authenticity, and integrity and finding language for how we can be who we really are, what our souls yearn to be.  And that language is not always English. This week's guest, Diarmuid Lyng, speaks Irish - one of the older, indigenous languages of these islands. Listening to him is a genuinely fabulous experience in the truest sense of the word in that it lifts us to the place of myth and fable where our oldest stories are held, and we can reconnect with the bones of who we are so that we can carry our knowing forward into who we could yet be: who we will have to be, I'd say, if we're going to make it through the current pinch point; and who we will love being.Diarmuid is co-owner of Wild Irish Retreats and Nature of Man. He is a former Wexford hurling captain and a host on the Irish Newstalk's flagship sports programme 'Off the Ball'. With Wild Irish Retreats he is part of a team that is focused on the rejuvenation of the Irish language in relation to nature reconnection. With Nature of Man he runs retreats and online programmes with men that creates a space for them to do their own internal spiritual work. He also takes teams/groups of all kinds to the woods for overnight camps that focus on connection; to self, teammate and place. In all of this, Diarmuid is uncovering in people a previously hidden energy source that benefits the individual, the society and the web of life - and he does it with such authenticity, integrity and a really humble sense of what it is to be human in the world at this moment, that I found this whole conversation a genuinely magical exeperience. I hope you do too.

Huge crowds converged on Croke Park over the weekend to witness the spectacle that is the All Ireland Hurling semi-finals.Hurling is much loved here and is starting to gain exposure abroad as well with the BBC showing the matches live, but for most of us, it is something to be watched rather than played.Hurling requires a very specific skillset that can take years to master, but former Wexford hurling captain Diarmuid Lyng is trying to re-connect people with the joy of actually taking part in one of the ancient aspects of our cultural heritage by engaging them in wild hurling.So, what is wild hurling?Diarmuid Lyng joins Seán to discuss.

Ireland's AI startup scene received a significant boost as PorterShed officially launched its AI Venture Forge Accelerator in Galway City. This 12-week accelerator is designed to transform AI-first startups and corporate innovation teams into globally competitive ventures, primed for commercial traction and investor readiness. AI Venture Forge is rooted in the globally renowned Disciplined Entrepreneurship framework from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is custom-tailored for ventures where artificial intelligence is central, not peripheral. Strategic Partnerships with MIT and ICHEC The AI Venture Forge initiative is strengthened by key partnerships at both national and international levels. In collaboration with the MIT Martin Trust Centre for Entrepreneurship, PorterShed is giving participants exclusive access to Orbit, MIT's AI-powered platform designed specifically for entrepreneurs. Orbit provides founders with state-of-the-art tools for validating markets, designing products, and scaling their businesses, marking the first time an Irish national accelerator has offered this kind of resource. Inspired by the disciplined entrepreneurship principles of Bill Aulet and the startup methodologies of Paul Cheek, Orbit is firmly rooted in the world-class practices of the Martin Trust Centre, bringing a globally proven approach to the Irish AI ecosystem. In addition, PorterShed has partnered with the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) to give participating startups access to powerful computing resources. This support will allow teams to develop and test their AI products much more efficiently. Each team can secure time on advanced computer systems, which include high-performance processors, cutting-edge graphics cards, and storage. ICHEC will also help participants and guide them on how to best use these resources. This partnership is a major advantage for early-stage companies working on complex AI projects, helping them build and scale their ideas with world-class technical support. Ten Trailblazing Startups Selected After a highly competitive selection process, ten outstanding companies from all over Ireland have been chosen to join the inaugural AI Venture Forge cohort. These startups each offer unique, AI-powered solutions across sectors ranging from precision agriculture to enterprise DevOps, highlighting the impressive range of innovation happening nationwide. Notably, 40% of the companies selected are founded or co-founded by women, while 80% of the group comes from outside Dublin, demonstrating the nationwide reach of this accelerator. The cohort represents diverse regional talent, with founders from Belfast, Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Cork, Kilkenny, and Wexford all participating. Each of these ambitious, AI-first, and globally focused ventures perfectly embodies the spirit of the AI Venture Forge. Over the 12-week programme, they will benefit from tailored business support, advanced GPU infrastructure, top-tier mentorship, and opportunities to validate and expand their solutions in international markets Global Mindset, Local Roots Led by Programme Manager Dushyant Singh, AI Venture Forge is built around the philosophy of "Born Global". Over the 12-week period, startups will receive direct mentoring from international leaders and technologists from OpenAI, Jentic, CitySwift, ICHEC, Rent the Runway, PorterShed, and others. These mentors will engage virtually and on-site to help teams refine their business models and scale AI capabilities effectively. The accelerator also includes an international immersion trip to Paris, Europe's AI capital, giving participants exposure to global markets and innovation ecosystems. Upon completion, teams will enter a three-month post-accelerator support phase, culminating in a trip to San Francisco, focused on fundraising, sales acceleration, and U.S. market entry. The AI Venture Forge is a pilot accelerator and is funded by returns from successful investments...

A new analysis of the supply and demand of GPs has warned of capacity constraints in areas of growing population in Dublin and its commuter towns in Cavan, Meath, Kildare, Louth, Westmeath and Wicklow. The paper 'General Practice in Ireland: An analysis of Supply and Demand' was published and produced by the Government's Economic and Evaluation Service at the Department of Health. The study identified 3,262 clinically active GPs in service in 2022. It found that 13% of GPs work at least 48 hours a week. It said that the workforce of GPs and GP practice nurses provide a reasonable level of coverage nationally, but some geographic areas have clear capacity constraints, often in areas of growing and ageing population. The paper also says that GP retirements in some areas of Clare, Mayo, Wexford, and other areas, put services at risk where there is no viable replacement of GPs. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Dr Michael Kelleher, Lahinch-based GP and IMO GP Committee Member.

Parents of primary school children are also being warned that they face a hike in so-called "voluntary contributions"or an increase in fund raising requests. To discuss this Lorriane Kennedy Principal and Teacher in Ramsgrange National School, in Wexford and Seamus Mulconry General Secretary of the Catholic Primary School Management Association.

ESB Networks is proud to announce Oatlands College, Stillorgan, Dublin as the winners of its first ever Weather Watch Schools Programme aimed at educating young people about the impact weather has on electricity generation from wind and solar energy and encouraging energy awareness conversations beyond the classroom. The first-year classes standout entry creatively displayed their increased understanding of the link between weather patterns and renewable energy generation. St. Pauls Secondary School, Greenhills, Dublin and Ramsgrange, New Ross, Wexford were named as runners up. Launched in 2025, the ESB Networks Weather Watch Programme aims to support Junior Cycle and Transition Year students in exploring the link between weather and renewable energy. More than 8,000 students across 90 schools nationwide took part, each receiving a free weather station and gaining access to a suite of learning resources via the programme's dedicated website. These included lesson plans and activity sheets all designed to foster interactive learning. By integrating weather data tracking into classroom activities and encouraging students to examine the relationship between weather and electricity generation, the programme promoted energy awareness both inside and beyond the classroom, bringing the messaging from the ESB Networks campaign "Is This a Good Time?" to a wider audience. Weather Watch has helped bring this campaign into the classroom, linking energy use behaviour with real-time weather patterns observed by students. Speaking about the impact of the programme, Brónagh Sweeney, a teacher from the winning school Oatlands College, said: "This initiative gave students the opportunity to engage with real-world energy challenges. They are not only learning about sustainability - they are actively thinking about their own role in how energy is used." Participating schools played a key role in embedding the programme into everyday learning. Teachers praised the educational benefits of using the weather stations, which enabled students to see the science of renewable energy in action, analyse real-time data, and link it to broader national conversations about energy use and sustainability. Lindsay Sharpe, Strategy and Customer Management, ESB Networks said: "The Weather Watch Programme has exceeded our expectations in building a national network of informed, engaged, and proactive young energy ambassadors. It demonstrates the power of education in driving real change and inspiring the next generation to support Ireland's journey to a cleaner energy future." As Ireland continues to prioritise sustainability and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, the lessons learned through the Weather Watch Programme will help equip young people to play a vital role in shaping a more energy-aware society. The next instalment of the programme will launch in the upcoming school term, expanding to even more secondary schools across Ireland. For future updates visit www.esbnetworksweatherwatch.ie.
