Anti Social Behaviour

Tuesday 29th January

In recent weeks, anti social behaviour in a number of housing estates in Ennis in County Clare led to one councillor Joe Arkins reference an idea for problem families to be quarantined in a separate area of the town. These estates in Ennis once offered “dream homes” to the new residents. But now some of the residents feel they are living under siege because of the behaviour of other residents..... Brian O’Connell spent some time in Ennis last week and heard first hand the kinds of problems residents are facing and he joined Pat this morning.

Classified Ads

Monday 4th February

FARMERS daughter, 35, loving, wild, blonde, slim, seeks hard- working, masculine farm boy to harvest my crops and maybe more.... This is just one of the many advertisements that appears in the personal classified section of a recent issue of the Farmer’s Journal. While online advertising has meant that many newspapers have reduced or ended their personal advertisement sections, some people in Ireland are still looking for and finding love in the small ads sections of newspapers such as the Farmer’s Journal and Ireland’s Own. Brian O’Connell attempted to go behind the personals and meet those people and he joined ...

Eagles

Wednesday 13th February

Last week in Kerry and Cork, two more white tailed sea eagles were found dead, bringing to 12 the total number of the birds poisoned since their re-introduction to Ireland in 2007. Fears are now being expressed for the White Tailed Eagle reintroduction programme amid concern that some locals remain hostile to the success of the programme. Last weekend, Brian O’Connell went in search of the white-tailed sea eagle on the Lakes of Killarney and also heard from those most concerned at the eagles’ presence.

Meat

Thursday 21st February

Since the horsemeat scandal broke, some butchers around the country are reporting sales up over 10% as consumers turn away from processed meat products. But do we really pause to consider how our butchered steak or mince gets onto our plate and how traceable is a burger bought at your local butcher? Well, Brian O’Connell followed the process from farm to butchers shop yesterday morning as he witnessed the killing of a heifer.

Gorse

Monday 4th March

Last Friday was the last day when farmers could legally burn gorse on their land until the new season opens in September. Following a change to the law some years ago, which reduced the burning season, farmers burning gorse land from now until the season opens will be liable to prosecution. Brian O’Connell spent time in the Derrynasaggert Mountains close to Killarney, last Friday witnessing some gorse fires.

Travellers

Wednesday 6th March

On last night’s Prime Time tension between some members of the Travelling Community and local authorities was highlighted, particularly in relation to the issue of housing. In Ennis in County Clare some €200,000 worth of damage was done to the Ashline halting site near the town last week. That development is now vacant and closed, as is another nearby site called Beechpark. Brian O’Connell spent yesterday in Ennis hearing the concerns of former residents at Ashline and also speaking with local Council representatives.

Rathkeale

Tuesday 19th March

In reports submitted to Government in recent weeks, including an in inter agency task force report and a report by Mediation Northern Ireland, the town is said to be “dying” and is described as “practically segregated” in relation to the lack of interaction between the settled and Traveller communities. While the town has attracted some negative media focus in recent years, some locals feel this latest report is not a fair representation of what life is like in Rathkeale. In the past week, Brian O’Connell has visited Rathkeale on several occasions to get a sense of whether or not an ...

Vintage Cars

Monday 25th March

Last month, the inaugural Royal Irish Automobile Club Classic Car Showwas held at the RDS, and the organisers pointed to the fact that, despite the downturn, the classic car scene in Ireland is thriving. While some persons buy classic cars for investment purposes, the majority of owners share a sense of nostalgia and will most likely never recoup any of the money they investment in their cars. In some cases, these cars are the loves of their lives. Brian O’Connell spent yesterday on the highways and byways of west Cork taking part in the annual Kilmeen National School vintage car ...

Cheltenham Racing Festival

Monday 11th March

The annual Irish pilgrimage to Cheltenham is well and truly underway, with the first of the races, the supreme novice hurdle, starting at 1.30 tomorrow (Tuesday). Whether you are a small time trainer or a Middle Eastern billionaire, for many the ultimate dream is to have a winner at this famous racing festival. Few achieve that, but last year one family in County Cork, the Sweeneys, had an incredible debut at the festival with their horse Salsify winning the Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup. The story of how the horse and the Sweeney family came to win is fairy tale stuff, ...

Goths

Friday 19th April

Last week, police in Manchester said they will begin recording offences against members of alternative subcultures in the same way they do attacks based on religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and so on. This follows a campaign after the murder of 20-year-old Sophie Lanchester in 2007, who was killed because of the way she looked. The subcultures who would fall under proposed new changes by the Manchester police include goths, emos, and punks, groups who are often distinguishable by the kinds of clothing they wear or the music they listen to. In recent days, Brian O’Connell has been meeting with ...
