La véritable légende de Jack O'Lantern en fiction Sonore immersive Dans la nuit de Samain, alors que le vent siffle entre les vergers et que les braises de la forge rougeoient dans l'ombre, le vieux Jack Stingy affûte son âme aussi durement que le fer sous son marteau. Ici, la faim a le goût du pain rassis, la cruauté se lit dans les rides et la ruse s'invente à pas le long de la grande rue de Wicklow. Ce conte n'est pas celui d'un héros, mais d'un homme cabossé, avare et rusé, qui pactise avec le diable sans jamais céder un pouce d'humanité. Dans les vapeurs d'un pub irlandais, entre deux pintes et une poignée de clous, Jack défie l'enfer, repousse la mort, et s'enfonce dans la nuit, lanterne à la main, condamné à errer entre les mondes. Tu entendras le souffle rauque de la forge, les silences lourds d'attente, la voix du diable qui claque comme une promesse de pluie. Tu sentiras la morsure de l'hiver, les os qui grincent, la solitude de ceux qu'on oublie, et la lumière fragile d'un navet creusé, ultime abri contre les ténèbres. Ici, la légende se fait intime : elle s'approche, elle respire à ton oreille, elle te rappelle que la frontière entre les vivants et les morts n'est jamais qu'une question de lumière. Laisse-toi porter, ferme les yeux, et traverse le seuil. Jack t'attend, quelque part entre l'enclume, la terre noire et la braise qui ne veut pas s'éteindre. Jack Stingy : Alain Chaillot Le diable : Jeff Chaulange Saint Pierre : Guillaume F. ---------- Et avant de refermer la porte, un petit rappel : Si tu as aimé l'épisode, pense à aller soutenir Rencontres Surnaturelles sur ta plateforme préférée, c'est le meilleur moyen de faire découvrir le podcast à d'autres curieux et passionnés d'histoires étranges.

Mute The TV are a four piece indie-rock band from Greystones, Co. Wicklow. The band consists of brothers Elliot and Dylan Crampton, Oscar Hackett and David Heffernan. They are an independent band who record, produce and mix their music at home which gives them plenty of time to procrastinate and argue (Dylan and Elliot), but it also keeps their costs low which allows them to release music more regularly. The band most recently headlined a raucous night in The Harbour Bar in Bray to a full house for a night of headbanging, singing and questionable dancing. Elliot and Dylan both have their own solo careers and between them have supported acts such as Aslan, Cathy Davey and Hazel O'Connor. The brothers have also made appearances on the RTE Late Late Show. Elliot most recently fulfilled his childhood dream of playing Dublin's Olympia Theatre where he played the drums for his friend who was opening for The Stunning. Oscar hosts a monthly pop-punk/emo night in Dublin in The Workmans Cellar. Takeaway and Telly is a jangly, hook laden, don't bore us get to the chorus, straight up pop song, but sprinkled with FUZZ! Albeit an uplifting, upbeat tune, it has a darker undercurrent of feeling alone and yearning for company. Lyrically it addresses feeling isolated and depressed, something brothers Elliot and Dylan have both had their battles with. Earlier in the year the band released two singles, “DNA” and “Depression Session”. We All Want Someone To Shout For described “DNA” as ‘a chugging bit of anthemic garage rock with a blitzing punk spirit'. While Where The Music Meets had this to say about Depression Session - ‘It's equal parts reflection and revelation, tucked inside some of the most approachable alt-rock Ireland's cooked up lately'. Depression Session was added to Spotify's editorial Hot New Bands and Fresh Finds UK & IE playlists and was used in an episode of UK TV show ‘Made In Chelsea'.

A leading pensions expert is warning that the Government's auto-enrolment campaign for pensions - due to begin on January 1st - does not equip businesses with the practical information employers need to choose between auto-enrolment and existing pension options available. Feargal McKenna, co-founder of Pensions Awareness Week, which takes place from September 29th to October 3rd, and Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, was speaking to over 100 businesses at a Breakfast Briefing for Wicklow's business community this morning, which was also addressed by Tánaiste Simon Harris. The free event, at The GRID in Greystones, was organised by Wicklow's business networking group, East Wicklow Business Network (WicklowBusiness.ie) and the Local Enterprise Office Wicklow. Feargal McKenna unveiled a new Auto-Enrolment Calculator developed by Moneycube.ie specifically for employers and hosted on the Pensions Awareness Week website - www.pensionsawarenessweek.ie. The calculator - which is free to use - is designed to give Irish employers instant clarity about the true cost of auto-enrolment on their payroll and the impact on employees' take-home pay. It also allows employers to compare these costs with alternative pension arrangements, so they can make informed decisions before the scheme begins. Unlike most existing auto-enrolment calculators, which focus only on employees, Moneycube.ie's tool is built for employers, who ultimately decide whether to default into auto-enrolment or take action to establish an alternative scheme. The calculator is easy to use, with just six steps providing business owners, HR managers or finance teams with the information they need to decide whether to prepare their organisations for auto-enrolment or explore alternative options. Employers enter a few simple details about their workforce - such as employee numbers, salary levels, and contribution rates. The calculator instantly shows the total payroll cost under auto-enrolment, how much employees' net pay will fall, and the potential advantages of alternative options. Feargal McKenna, Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, says: "If auto-enrolment starts on January 1st, about 800,000 employees will see a reduction in net take-home pay, but employers still have time to choose a structure that can avoid that and possibly deliver better outcomes. "Our employers' calculator gives business owners, HR and finance teams instant, side-by-side numbers: the payroll cost under auto-enrolment over a 10-year period and how that compares with a well-designed occupational pension. Defaulting into auto-enrolment can disadvantage higher-rate taxpayers and limit retirement choices. The Government has released information about their Auto-Enrolment scheme, but it has fallen short in providing a straightforward tool to help people understand the options. Moneycube.ie's calculator fills that gap while supporting the goal of getting Ireland saving for retirement - something that is core to the reason we set up Pensions Awareness Week. "We built this calculator because employers need an instant picture from two, often opposing, perspectives: the finance team, focused on controlling costs, and HR, focused on benefits, recruitment and retention. Government may have cried wolf in the past, but businesses no longer have the luxury of waiting. If pension contributions aren't flowing through payroll by December, the gift under the tree this year - whether you asked for it or not - will be auto-enrolment… and it doesn't come with batteries."

Sika (cervus nippon) is a mid-sized deer that was introduced to Ireland in the 1860s to the Powerscourt Estate. Soon after that, it started spreading across Ireland. Today, the main concentrations of sika are in Kerry, Wicklow, Tyrone and Fermanagh. More recently, it has also been found in Waterford, Galway, Limerick, and Wexford. The National Biodiversity Data Centre in Ireland lists sika as an invasive species. Despite that, it's afforded protection under the Wildlife Act. It is prized by hunters as a game species and a source of excellent quality venison on the one hand, and hated by foresters and environmentalists for the damage to forestry and biodiversity on the other.Sika is present on the entire European continent and, although not as widespread as in Ireland, it is also causing similar problems. This is reflected in the recent move by the European Commission to launch consultations to put sika on the Invasive Alien Species (IAS) list across the Union. This poses the obvious question: what does it mean for the Irish population of sika if the EC makes such a decision? Will or should it be allowed continuous protection with open and closed hunting seasons? Or should it be reduced to the status of vermin and be eradicated across the country? To discuss the potential future of sika deer in Ireland and present a whole spectrum of views about this species, and invasive species more generally, I spoke with four expert guests presenting different views on the subject. By listening to this episode you will hear from Professor Jaimie T.A. Dick who specialises in Invasion Ecology, Eoghan Daltun an award-winning author who has spent last 15 years regenerating an Irish Atlantic rainforest, Damien Hannigan a Government Appointee to the Irish Deer Management Forum and Public Relations Officer at the Irish Deer Commission, and Professor of Wildlife Restoration Ecology, Adam T.

Fresh concerns have been raised that Clare farmers will be impacted by a controversial €4.5bn Uisce Éireann plan to pump water from the River Shannon to Dublin. The project involves the construction of a 170km pipeline that will extract 2% of the Parteen Basin's annual flow, to supply an additional treated water source to Dublin, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow. The IFA and ICMSA have agreed a compensation package with Uisce Éireann that's understood to be worth an average of 100,000 euro for affected landowners. However, Clare IFA Chair Stephen Walsh believes it could have unintended consequences.

Simon Harris, Tánaiste and Minister for Defence, Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Fine Gael TD for Wicklow, outlines what his party is discussing at their annual think-in, ahead of the new Dáil term.

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.

Topics covered : Understanding food labels, ultra processed food, the psychology of supermarket shopping, clever food swaps, health halos and handling criticism. ​Welcome to my first episode back after the summer break, I'm joined by health food advocate and Instagram sensation, Sophie Morris.S​he lives in Greystones, in Wicklow with her husband Robbie and their two boys, Wrio and Max.And over the past year, her following online has skyrocketed thanks to her no-nonsense food videos — breaking down the tricks of the food industry and showing us how to make smarter choices.She learned so much about the business of food when she ran her own cookie-dough company (Kooky Dough) back in 2009, and she's now channelling all of that experience into her brand-new book 'Sophie's Swaps' — a must-have for anyone who wants to shop and eat with more awareness.In this conversation, Sophie explains how the food system really works, how we're being manipulated in the supermarket aisles, what to watch out for on labels, and the clever swaps that can make a big difference​.If you're a fan of what I do, please follow, rate and review in all the usual places.And thanks, as always, for your support of Ready to be Real.

Latest up from Spoken Label (Poetry/Spoken Word Podcast) features the return of our friend Anthony Doyle in a full length Podcast.Anthony Doyle was born in Dublin and raised in Wicklow, Ireland. He has been living in São Paulo, Brazil, since 2000, where he works as a translator of fiction, non-fiction and film scripts from Portuguese. In addition to short stories and poems, he published the children's book O Lago Secou (Companhia das Letrinhas, Brazil, 2013) and the novel Hibernaculum (Out Of This World Press, USA, 2023). He is a member of the Old Scratch Press short-form collective.This Podcast talks primarily about his new book Jonahs Map of the Whale and other poems which is described as "Dive into the mythic in Jonah's Map of the Whale and Other Poems, a daring and dazzling collection from Anthony Doyle (author of Hibernaculum). In the submerged world of Flounder- part everyman, part flatfish-shipwrecked longing, philosophical wit, and lyrical precision converge.Doyle's sea-born metaphors shimmer with heartbreak, absurdity, and revelation across the tide pools of memory and myth. From underwater boathouses to data-streamed cubicles, Doyle threads ancient voices through postmodern pulses. Featuring Flounder, Blundra, Alex Iden Gray, and more, this collection drifts between high poetry and sly humor, from trenches of despair to flickers of grace. Jonah's Map of the Whale and Other Poems is a poetic deep-sea dive into the soul accessible to poetry and literature fans alike.

Today's Indo Daily comes from one of our sister podcasts, Under The Grill. The actor and viral comedian Peter McGann joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the Under the Grill kitchen to chat about his favourite dish of all time, pre-show nerves and his part in Sky Atlantic's Small Town, Big Story, which was written and directed by Chris O'Dowd. Wicklow-born Peter says: “Those jokes like ‘I came home, I was so drunk, I put the rashers in the toaster', that slap stuff is mostly gone from the comedy stage.” The dad-of-one adds: “My dish of choice is a seafood chowder in a sourdough bowl because it brings me back it to the best summer of my life. It's just delicious. I love seafood of any kind. “I was in college in Galway one summer and I was chasing a girl, who is now my wife, and there used to be a stall in Galway selling seafood chowder in a bread bowl. It brings back such good memories.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vast, windswept, and seemingly untouched—the landscape around the Sally Gap in Wicklow is a place where history appears to vanish into the heather and mist. With no houses and few traces of human settlement, this moorland feels like a true wilderness.Yet, the story of this landscape is one forged by ancient forces, human ambition, and exploitation. In this episode, I continue my journey down the Wicklow Military Road into what some have called one of Ireland's last great wildernesses, uncovering a hidden history that stretches back thousands of years.Written, Produced & Narrated by Fin DwyerSound by Kate DunleaFeaturing: Frank Tracy, Deirdre Burns, Faith Wilson, Michael Fewer, Graeme Warren & Margaret Duff Garvey.This episode was funded by Wicklow Co Council and The Heritage Council.

In 1800, in the wake of the 1798 Rebellion, the British military began construction of the Wicklow Military Road. Designed to bring control to the so-called “bandit country” of the Wicklow Mountains, this road now winds through some of the most remote and picturesque landscapes in Ireland. Its history is as dramatic as the scenery it traverses. Built in an Ireland still reeling from insurrection, the road has, over the past two centuries, borne witness to some of the most remarkable—and often dark—chapters in our history. From disappearances during the Irish Civil War to a German war cemetery, the Wicklow Military Road is a route steeped in intrigue and untold stories. This podcast explores this road through Ireland's bandit country.Thanks to Michael Fewer, Margaret Duff Garvey, Joan Kavanagh, Faith Wilson & Frank Tracy.Special Thanks to Deirdre Burns.Written & Produced: Fin DwyerNarration: Fin DwyerSound: Kate DunleaFunded by Wicklow Co Co & The Heritage Council Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/irishhistory.
