Pól SeoigeGUEST
He is someone who's done so much for his community.
Pól SeoigeGUEST
He even is part of a group that look after the people of Limerick in terms of watching out for suicide on the River Shannon.
Pól SeoigeGUEST
And only a couple of months ago, jumped into the river himself and saved a girl from drowning.
Pól SeoigeGUEST
You know what I mean? This man is an absolute hero.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
And it's either unable or unwilling or both to, to protect the River Shannon and to do its job.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
And instead of doing its job, it's now looking to carry out a grandiose project of spending billions of euros, uh, to build a pipeline to Dublin.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
Meanwhile, um, Uisce Éireann, uh, wastewater treatment plants are pumping nitrates into the River Shannon.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
Uh, there was, uh, work carried out by the River Shannon Environmental Protection Alliance, uh, ecologists, um, uh, there, um, analyzed information that they received both from Uisce Éireann and from EPA, a-and it's, uh, from that it has emerged that there are one hundred and seventy-four tons of nitrogen being pumped by Uisce Éireann into the River Shannon every year.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
Um, so while we have local authorities, uh, concerned about algal bloom, understandably concerned about algal bloom, I went out to Holy Island myself a couple of weeks ago, and, uh, unfortunately, Lough Derg was like, uh, almost like a pea soup at the time.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
Uh, while local authorities are concerned, Tipperary, uh, County Council have, uh, issued a warning, Clare County Council monitoring the situation.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
Uisce Éireann continues to pump, uh, nitrogen from, uh, basically, uh, human waste into, um, into the River Shannon.
Michael McNamaraGUEST
Uh, of the fifty-eight plants that were looked at by the River Shannon Protection Alliance, uh, along the Shannon, only one had, um, had, um, uh, o-o-only one was removing nitrogen, and the others are pumping in.

hereIf the Blarney Stone stood out on Sydney Harbour, and Dublin town to Melbourne came to stay.
The High KingsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If the River Shannon flowed through Brisbane waters, and Killarney's lakes flowed into Botany Bay.
The High KingsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If the Shannon bells rang out in old Fremantle, and County Cork at Italy did appear.
The High KingsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Ireland's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home, if we only had old Ireland over here.
The High KingsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sure we'd wrap the green flag round them, if we had old Ireland here.

BlindboyGUEST
She was drowned in the air in this deluge.
BlindboyGUEST
And then all that water from the well carried her body all the way down through Ireland, just over there, out into the sea, and Saint's body became the River Shannon.
BlindboyGUEST
And that's what the River Shannon is.
BlindboyGUEST
It flows with the infinite wisdom of the other world.
BlindboyGUEST
If you were to go on a boat there, and you go up about 20 minutes on a boat, you'll find a mountain called Town Tina.
Peter ThorneGUEST
The government is, has, if you like, an E-minus in this regard.
Aisling O'RourkeHOST
Now, we're speaking quite literally hours away from Budget 2027, and one of the, the strongest messages coming through in this report is that, as you say, the government is treating this overall crisis as perhaps an individual one-off event, maybe a flooding incident, um, along the banks of the River Shannon in Athlone, and then maybe a storm and a power outage in Mayo, that, that we're not really treating this as an overall and long-term problem.
Peter ThorneGUEST
Yeah, and this is, this is the fundamental problem, is that climate change and the impacts of climate change will be the story of our lifetimes, but it is rela-it is relatively rarely the story of today.
Peter ThorneGUEST
And that's a problem when politicians are focused almost inexorably on the here and now, on today, on today's problem.
Jamie HutchinsonHOST
...
Jamie HutchinsonHOST
Shannon River and drive down.
Callum OakleyGUEST
Yeah.
Jamie HutchinsonHOST
But went to Cork.
Will FaulknerHOST
Now, plenty still to talk about today, including flood defences for the Midlands being stored in Portlaoise.
Will FaulknerHOST
What exactly is the thinking behind that one? Because it's not exactly beside the River Shannon.
Will FaulknerHOST
Also, what happens when...
Will FaulknerHOST
Artificial intelligence becomes artificial independence.
Fran CurryHOST
Good to talk to you today.
Fran CurryHOST
You were making the point that against that backdrop, there are deep concerns about nitrogen being discharged from wastewater treatment plants into the River Shannon.
Seamus MorrisGUEST
Yeah.
Seamus MorrisGUEST
The River Shannon Environmental Protection Alliance has been going through the figures, through EPA figures, about discharges into the Shannon.
Seamus MorrisGUEST
And there are 58 wastewater treatment plants flowing into the Shannon.
Seamus MorrisGUEST
And There was no, absolutely no nitrate treatment in any of those plants.
Seamus MorrisGUEST
Anything could be in that water, from cocaine to anything.
Seamus MorrisGUEST
So whatever medicines people are taking, everything that goes through the body goes into a wastewater treatment plant and goes into the river.

Milo's price for joining the expedition would likely have not just been gold either, but land.
speaker_0HOST
So around March 1177, Milo gathered a force of around 40 knights and 500 soldiers and joined forces with the traitorous Murtagh O'Connor and crossed the River Shannon.
speaker_0HOST
While small, this army was still significantly larger than the force that de Courcy had initially gathered to capture Downe.
speaker_0HOST
Milo's march into the West was another direct violation of the Treaty of Windsor, but this was even more serious than Fleming's raids into Argilla and de Courcy's capture of Downe.
