Ciontach: Martin 'The General' Cahill, duine de na coirpigh is cáiliúla i stair na hÉireann

Ba é Martin Cahill – a.k.a The General – ceann de na Crime Lords is clúití in Éirinn. Rugadh é go beo bocht, mar chuid de chlann ollmhór, i lár na cathrach i mBÁC sna 1940í. Thosaigh Martin Cahill amach i mbun mionchion agus é óg agus lean sé ar aghaidh agus phleanáil sé ceann de na robálacha ba mhó le rá i stair na tíre. Tar éis na coireachta d’fhorbair Cahill stádas mistiúil i gcultúr na hÉireann, le roinnt daoine ag féachaint air mar laoch an phobail, Baile Átha Cliath bocht ó dhúchas. Ó maraíodh é sa bhliain 1994, spreag saol agus coireanna Martin Cahill leabhair, scannáin, agus tuairimíocht gan stad – the criminal whose life became the stuff of legend and infamy. Is é scéal Martin bunús scéal an scannán ‘The General’, agus an scannán 2000 ‘Ordinary Decent Criminal’ le Kevin Spacey agus Colin Farrell. Labhraíonn Róisín Ní Mhaoláin le Tessa Fleming leis an coirpeach is cluití in Éirinn a phlé.

The importance of living life to the fullest with John Wall

We all want to live our best lives, get as much out of our time as possible. That, however, can be easier said than done. Life can sometimes get in the way, from work to finances and everything in between. But what if you were told you had a life limiting illness? What would you do differently? This week, I’m delighted to be joined by John Wall, who was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in 2017. While he had to come to terms with this, his approach to life is all about seizing the day. As part of palliative care week that is taking place this week, John tells me about his experience with palliative care. It can be a scary thing to talk about, but for John it helped him gain back a quality of life he never thought he’d get back. “Palliative for me at the time was pain control...One introduction to a palliative consultant changed everything. [They] found a drug that worked for me, that is still working for me and given me a quality of life that I once thought was gone.” We also talk about how to live life to the full and not sweat the small stuff, something John decided to do when he was diagnosed with cancer. “To put it very simply, the day I was told I was going to die was the day I started to live...you only get one shot at life and that’s applicable to all of us. Whether you’re in good health or not, we get one life.” We also chat about the role genetics play when it comes to coronary heart disease and links abdominal obesity has to it too.
