Diarmaid BlakeGUEST
And, you know, the, the, the win against Spiddal is probably the shock of the championship, really, when you look at it in, in all grades.
Diarmaid BlakeGUEST
And I'm sure the, the, you know, the, the tonic that give their management team, who are, you know, who are very good, like Cathal Ryan is an experienced manager and Matty Gentry from Athy.
Diarmaid BlakeGUEST
You know, these are two good guys, and they, they have them well-drilled.
Diarmaid BlakeGUEST
But, you know, I'm sure it was easy training the guys the following few weeks after that.
DaraHOST
And you'd hear maybe a South Dublin accent.
DaraHOST
You never really hear a Dublin accent from around here, unless it was that kind of comedy or, "Oh, look at who we're getting in to talk about something not serious." But now, and again, I've seen it more in modern media, you look at maybe The Looks of Athy now, there's a few more, there's a few more of us popping about.
DaraHOST
There's a few more kind of north side accents.
DaraHOST
And something as simple as that is, even if you're nervous maybe people might find or you might sound different, it's good to do it because someone might be listening that might sound like you or might, might be from the same place as you if you're from a different country, and then it might inspire them to do it.
Jim FinnHOST
How important from a historical point of view is this particular production that was launched tonight?
Pat BrackenGUEST
From a historical perspective, I think it's crucial to how communities recognize the impact of industry or business or any aspect of life within their community, and in this case, Bord na Móna, what it has meant to the people, the economic development of the parish, of McCarthy borders, and the surrounding parishes, like Maynooth, Athy, Cloughartnet,agh, Glenageeagh, Killinarde, MoYglass, uh, for example, uh, and what it, the economy benefits that it brings to a community.
Pat BrackenGUEST
Because you, you have other knock-on effects of business, schools, churches, sporting associations, and it just binds a community together.
Pat BrackenGUEST
It makes it part of what it's like.
David HollywoodHOST
Speaking of wrong way driving, TikTok, uh, insists it is being proactive in preventing content that encourages dangerous and illegal behavior, despite widespread criticism of videos posted on its platform glorifying car theft and so-called joyriding.
David HollywoodHOST
So, executives from the tech company are going to appear before the Oireachtas Media Committee today, after initially refusing to do so, and it will be discussing its policies, and that's in light of last month's M9 crash near Athy, in which five, uh, young adults, uh, young people, I should say, teenagers, lost their lives.
David HollywoodHOST
They were in the car that going, that were going, that was going the wrong way, I should say.
David HollywoodHOST
Um, three sisters and a young boy, uh, were seriously injured in the other car, and those Midland sisters continue to recover.
Noel DunneGUEST
Well, a lot of the track we will go back because it'll be going back to the, uh, back, uh, up to other events across the country, Electric Picnic, et cetera.
Noel DunneGUEST
But most of our containers and stuff will be all stored back in Ballinamore, in Athy, County Kildare, in the headquarters of the NPA, where last summer we had them put into storage.
Noel DunneGUEST
Um, so that, and then we'll, that'll move a piece aside as long as we move together.
Noel DunneGUEST
Because every year we move from one place to another.
Michael BrennanGUEST
"Keep coming back." And I stayed going back, and I stayed going back.
Michael BrennanGUEST
And then I suppose the rock bottom really came in, in, um, I don't have the exact year now today, but, uh, I ended up in a treatment center up in Comhaire in Athy.
Michael BrennanGUEST
And again, consequences of binge drinking and, and, and everything, and my mental health.
Michael BrennanGUEST
And, you know, and I'm not using the mental health or anything like that for any substitute to issues that happened in my life.
