Anam na n-amhrán

The Irish Times · Irlanda · Prensahace 1 día

Is uirlis áisiúil í an teicneolaíocht le ceoltóirí nua sean-nóis a chothú, dar leis an amhránaí agus scoláire iomráiteach, Lillis Ó Laoire. Tá na blianta caite ag Ó Laoire ag foghlaim na n-amhrán, á gceol agus á múineadh, agus tá sé aitheanta mar dhuine de shaineolaithe an traidisiúin.

Tá baint ag fear Ghort an Choirce le hOileán Thoraí le fada i dtaca lena chuid taighde, agus tá cairdeas leanúnach aige leis an phobal ann. Is ar an oileán sin a thug sé fá deara go bhféadfadh an teicneolaíocht nua tionchar dearfach a bheith aici ó thaobh an cheoil agus an aosa óig de: “Tá Séarlas Ó Baoill anois cúig bliana déag ach tá teacht i láthair ina chuid ceoil a léiríonn an ceangal lena mhuintir roimhe.

Tá dúchas ar leith ina ghlór cinn, sílim, agus tá an bhua sin leis as an bhroinn, óna mháthair agus óna athair.” D’fhoghlaim Séarlas amhráin…

Glenisk co-owner Vincent Cleary on rebuilding the company after it burned to the ground

In the first half of this week’s Inside Business, host Ciarán Hancock will be talking to Vincent Cleary, co-owner of Offaly-based organic yoghurt maker Glenisk. Vincent is co-owner of the business with his brother Brian, a company that was set up in 1995 by their father Jack. Glenisk had a near death experience in 2021 when its manufacturing plant, warehouse and offices burned to the ground. Vincent explains how it has bounced back from that devastating moment. Plus, a couple of years ago, streaming giant Netflix looked untouchable. It had emerged from the pandemic with record subscriber numbers, was cracking down on password sharing and introducing advertising on its platform. But things have changed.

Judge’s final remarks on Drumcree felt like an epitaph as much as a conclusion

Even before the stand-off at Drumcree developed a month ago, the dispute had ended up in the courts; now, it has had its end in the courts. A member of the Portadown Orange Order sought to challenge the decision by the Northern Secretary Chris Bryant to ban the parade after two weeks of stalemate. In a judgment delivered in the High Court on Wednesday, the judge either refused to grant leave for an appeal or, on a handful of grounds, granted leave then dismissed the appeal. Bryant’s decision was “lawful”, Judge David Scoffield said, but added it was “highly regrettable it was required in the circumstances in which it arose”, and said those who had opposed the march should take “no particular joy” in the outcome. The judge’s final remarks, delivered in the formal surroundings of a Belfast courtroom, felt like an epitaph as much as a conclusion, as he…

‘Quasi-father figure’ found guilty of abusing orphaned children more than 50 years ago

A 92-year-old man has been found guilty of eight counts of indecent assault more than 50 years ago against two orphaned children to whom he was a “quasi-father figure”. A jury at Ennis Circuit Court on Wednesday returned unanimous guilty verdicts on the eight counts of indecent assault, which were alleged to have happened on dates between July 1st, 1973 and January 31st, 1975. The sisters were aged between eight and 10 years during that time, with six counts relating to the older sister and two to the younger. Their parents had died by the time they were aged five and four and they eventually came into the care of the accused and his wife in the early 1970s. Prosecution barrister Sarah Jane Comerford told the trial the man was a “quasi-father figure” to the vulnerable girls at the time he “perpetrated these offences” against them. The man previously paid…

According to official HSE data, there were 599 patients on trolleys in hospitals on Wednesday.
