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.

Commodities chaos: why the price of your favourite foods are doubling in price

Bord Gáis became the latest in a long line of energy suppliers to dramatically hike up electricity and gas prices yesterday, with the latter to rise by a whopping 39%. Between fuel on our forecourts and heating our homes, Irish consumers are already feeling the pinch from price increases. But as the war on Ukraine continues, we can expect even more price hikes in everything from the sunflower oil for our chips to wheat in our pasta and flour in our bread. Presenter Siobhán Maguire is joined by the Irish Independent's Farming editor, Margaret Donnelly, and TU Dublin lecturer in retail management, Damian O'Reilly, to find out why food shortages and prices surges are happening, and whether it's time we started to grow our own food.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
