A couple of years ago, veteran U.S. journalist Dan Rather made a documentary in which he investigated whether chemicals called ‘Neonicotinoids’ were contributing to bee deaths, not just in America, but worldwide. Neonicotinoids are pesticides and they’re in the news at the minute because last month the European Commission proposed a temporary ban on their use. The voting countries didn’t reach a ‘qualified majority’ so it goes to ballot again on Monday. Last month Ireland voted AGAINST the ban. Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said he had ‘technical concerns’ about some of the proposed restrictions. We don’t know if he will change his mind by Monday or not, but today we learn more about these ‘neonicotinoids’, in the company of our own Philip McCabe, who is President of the European Commission for Apimondia… 0:09:20 http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0426/20130426_rteradio1-mooney-neonicotin_c20194484_20194490_232_.mp3 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:00:00 +0000 no 50529003 20194484 RTÉ:Ireland http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0426/20130426_rteradio1-mooney-thirtyyear_c20194485_20194491_232_.mp3 Thirty years ago, an aquatic visitor to these shores decided to make Dingle harbour his home, and Fungie the dolphin has remained there ever since!

Since then he has been an object of much fascination and speculation. This weekend, a festival celebrates thirty years of Fungie in Dingle, and Brenda Donohue went to find out more... Thirty years ago, an aquatic visitor to these shores decided to make Dingle his home. Dingle harbour, to be precise! Since then he has been an object of much fascination and speculation. Where did he spring from? And what keeps him in these waters are perpetual questions. The visitor is, of course, Fungie the Dolphin! The late lighthouse-man Paddy Ferritter first spotted Fungie in 1983, and over the years he has become many things to many people. While he has become both a tourist attraction and an internationally known brand name, there are those who say that he is a source of great healing and spiritual consolation. Well, this weekend to celebrate 30 years of Fungie and as Dingle’s contribution to The Gathering, they are having a Fungie Festival. There are lots of events planned from films, exhibitions, music, sailings and discussions celebrating Ireland’s favourite dolphin, and today, Mooney reporter Brenda Donohue is at Oceanworld in Dingle. She talks to locals including Ann, who has a fish stand on Strand Street in Dingle, and reports back from taking a boat trip out to see Fungie yesterday. And she also talks to Kevin Flannery, Director of Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium. 0:28:19 http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0426/20130426_rteradio1-mooney-thirtyyear_c20194485_20194491_232_.mp3 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:00:00 +0000 no 50529004 20194485 RTÉ:Ireland http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0426/20130426_rteradio1-mooney-dolphinsdy_c20194486_20194492_232_.mp3 Since the beginning of this year, over 100 striped dolphins carcasses have washed up on the beaches of western Italy, in what is suspected to be an outbreak of "dolphin measles".

Haughey travelled to London for their first face to face meeting and he presented her with a little gift. A teapot. Not any old teapot, mind you, but a Georgian, silver teapot. We couldn’t help wondering “whatever happened to the little teapot”? Did she take it with her to her Belgravia home after she resigned in 1990? Is it in a museum in Downing street? Or did it end up in some rubbish tip in Westminster?

The idea of washing nappies fills parents with fear, but cloth nappies have come a long way since your mother scrubbed acres of terry towelling until her hands were raw. Now they come in all shapes and sizes! And for parents who ditch the disposables for cute cloth nappies, it's called 'going fluffy!'. If you do go fluffy, it brings with it huge economic and eco-friendly advantages.

CITES has proposed that musical instruments which contain legally acquired material from endangered species should be issued with a passport. BBC journalist Matt McGrath explains why, and Lisanne Melchior, Principal Viola player in the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, joins Derek in studio to tell us about her experience travelling with her instrument... When you hear the majestic sound created by the collective talents and efforts of the musicians who make up an orchestra – probably the last thing on your mind would be the thought that many of their instruments have been crafted partly from materials taken from endangered species of flora and fauna. Many classical guitars are made from Rosewood, the white keys on a piano are covered in ivory, as are nuts on guitars, lutes and many other stringed instruments. About €100,000 worth of oboes and clarinets are made out of African Blackwood every year, and animal skin and bones are used in percussion. And ebony is used in many bows for stringed instruments – as is tortoise shell. And although these materials have been acquired legally – for musicians travelling with material from endangered species – international travel can be a nightmare – with the hassled of form filling and fear that their precious instruments could be confiscated by customs. Lisanne Melchior is the Principal Viola player in the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and has travelled the world with her craft, and joins Derek in studio to tell us about her experience travelling with her instrument... CITES - the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora – is now proposing that musical instruments which contain legally acquired material from endangered species should be issued with a passport.

Fair City actor Brian Murray is a massive Beatles fan, and joins us in studio to talk about his love of the Fab Four... A little bit of musical history for you now. 56 years ago, in March, 1957, a group of 16-year-old lads in Liverpool formed a skiffle group called The Blackjacks. But when they discovered another local group had the same name, they decided to name themselves after school a couple of them went to... the Quarry Bank School. And so, they became the Quarry Men..... One of those 16-year-olds was called John Lennon, and the band was soon joined by his friend, a 15-year-old rhythm guitarist called Paul McCartney. That was 1958. One year later, in January, 1959, a 14-year-old George Harrison hooked up with the Quarry Men, and the name change once again, this time to "Johnny and The Moon Dogs". Three gigs later, Johnny and the Moon Dogs became The Silver Beetles. And finally, in 1960, the Beatles finally came into existence. Well, “from humble acorns do great oaks grow.” And the Beatles went on to become arguably the greatest band in popular music history. Certainly one of the most influential. But on April 10, 1970, exactly 43 years ago to this day, it all came to a tragic conclusion, when the band decided to call it a day... Fair City actor Brian Murray is a massive Beatles fan. A Beatles aficionado, in fact. And he is here to talk about this momentous event... 0:12:41 http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0410/20130410_rteradio1-mooney-40yearssin_c20187333_20187524_232_.mp3 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:00:00 +0000 no 50501821 20187333 RTÉ:Ireland http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0410/20130410_rteradio1-mooney-fiftyshade_c20187334_20187525_232_.mp3 50 Shades of Grey is the publishing sensation of the last couple of years, and a stage parody of the story, Fifty Shades Of Maggie, comes to the Tivoli theatre in Dublin next week.
