50 bliain ar aghaidh: Lorcán Bale agus an dúnmharú satánach san ardchathair

Os coinn caoga bliain ó shín, tharla dúnmharú uafásach i mBaile Pálmair nár chuala mórán daoine faoi. B’eachtra aisteach agus uafásach é, nár tuairiscíodh sna nuachtáin go dtí blianta fada ina dhiaidh sin. Ar Seachtain, labhraíonn an t-iriseoir Ciarán Dunbar faoin chás aisteach seo agus cén fáth go raibh sé i bhfolach ar feadh beagnach daichead bliana.

Creideann Trump go gcuirfidh na taraifí borradh faoi gheilleagar na Stát, ach tá eacnamaithe ag tabhairt rabhadh go ndéanfar damáiste do chúrsaí eacnamaíochta timpeall na cruinne. Mar sin, cé acu a bhfuil an ceart acu? Labhair Ciarán Dunbar le Caoimhín Ó Tiománaigh, léachtóir eacnamaíochta agus príomheacnamaí leis an gcomhlacht Davy.

Gaelcholáiste nua mar chuid den fhís do cheantar Gaeltachta BÁC

Tá Gaelcholáiste nua beartaithe do lár na cathrach agus tá na doirse le hoscailt i mí Mheán Fómhair 2026, ach is iomaí dushlán atá fós le sárú leis sin a chur i gcrích. Ach, le os coinn 90% de mhúinteoirí na scoile i gcoinne Synge Street CBS a aistriú go Ghaelcholáiste, agus le tuismitheoirí go fóill gan mórán eolais faoin Ghaelcholáiste nua, an bhfuil baol ann nach dtarlóidh sé? Cad iad na dushláin atá os comhair meánscoil lán-Ghaeilge a bhunú i lár na cathrach, agus, cén fáth nach bhfuil achan duine sásta faoi? Labhraíonn Julian de Spáinn, ón fheachtas Gaelcholáiste 2,4,6,8 faoin phlean le ceathrú Gaeltachta a chruthú i gcroílár na cathrach.

Billy McGuinness - ‘I left the turkey and ham on the train – on Christmas Eve’

The Aslan legend joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the Under the Grill kitchen to chat about his granny’s Shephard’s Pie, the moment the Dublin band joined Coldplay on stage, and the Christmas dinner he will never forget. A brilliant storyteller, Billy recounts how he arrived home after a few drinks, without the turkey and ham he’d collected earlier that day, just as all the shops were closing. The guitar player and backing singer’s lips are sealed when it comes to the meal his family and invited guest ate that Christmas. Billy speaks with great warmth about moving in to live with his ‘nan’ as a young teenager and how she ‘spoilt me rotten’ with the homecooked meals he’d smell as soon as he came in the door. In Under the Grill, Ireland’s best loved personalities choose a dish from their childhood and Kevin Dundon cooks it up in his kitchen, alongside Maître d’, Caoimhe Young.
