The Thin Air Podcast: A sort of Song Exploder for Irish acts, its second season has just concluded, with Danny Carroll, a musician in his own right, talking to Junior Brother, Girl Band, Just Mustard and Soak about one of the songs.

Galway hurlers are likely to be boosted by the return of Daithí and David Burke in time for their NHL clash with All-Ireland champions Tipperary next week, but Shane O’Neill is planning without the services of Joseph Cooney and John Hanbury for the foreseeable future.

When I was walking out of Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday evening, I noticed some action on the 4G pitch. I knew it couldn’t be some club training so soon after the match so I went over to investigate; it was 13 Tipperary substitutes going hard at it.

A career in broadcasting wasn’t even close to my radar until TG4 asked me to read the weather.

“The complainant believes that children often listen to radio during the day and does not consider the content appropriate for the time of broadcast,” the BAI report states.

Three young climate activists appeared on RTÉ’s Today with Maura and Dáithí.

It was a Tuesday evening family dinner chat. Then someone mentioned the Rose of Tralee ‘beauty pageant’, which was on TV that night. It’s not traditionally quite as exciting as The Late Late Toy Show, but it is one of those occasions in the Irish calendar when parents meekly accept that children can stay up late to watch it.

Rose of Tralee host Dáithí Ó Sé has put his best foot forward in the Dome by donning a pair of kinky boots on stage.

It's that time of year again.

Two brothers in their 50s are to undertake a gruelling 1,200km cycle in France to raise money for charity in memory of their mother who died from cancer.

Fundraising for good causes has come a long way since the days of the charity walk. It is now a more adventurous undertaking, as round-Ireland swimmer Alan Corcoran and global cyclists Paddy Flynn and Daithí Harrison are proving.

Two Irishmen will cycle across 28 countries and three continents to raise money for CMRF Crumlin and the Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation.

Christy Ring Cup favourites Meath had to overcome a stiff challenge from Derry before securing their place in the competition final on Saturday week, where they’ll face a Down side that had nine points to spare against Roscommon in the other semi-final.

Michael Clifford joins Grace O’Sullivan, the Green Party candidate for Ireland South in the upcoming European elections, as she takes to the campaign trail on Shannonside.

Do you have any to add to the list?

Dáithí Ó Sé tells Irene Feighan about the shape he's in

Another All-Ireland title for Corofin and another one by double digits.

Dr Crokes were “schooled” by the best club football team in the business, selector Niall O’Callaghan has admitted.

Dr Crokes selector Vince Casey has mixed memories of taking on Corofin. As a player, there was the 1992 All-Ireland club semi-final victory over the Galwaymen, a game where Casey found the net from full-forward. As a manager, however, his record is rather less kind.

I’m meeting Cork fitness trainer Ray Lally for the first time and put my hand out to greet him. It turns out he’s a hugger.

Westmeath Rose Leanne Quinn performed an unusual party piece on the Rose of Tralee semi-final.

Any time is a great time to beat Mayo but Michéal Lundy is not reading too much into Galway’s win over their neighbours.
