'Bím i gcónaí ag iarraidh teorainneacha a bhrú' Róis
Labhair muid leis an amhránaí RÓIS faoina saothar cruthaitheach agus a cuid pleananna don todhchaí Many of us know you best for the powerful, award-winning, Caoine. How did you come upon the tradition of lament? Ba ar DDR (Dublin Digital Radio) a chuala mé an taifead sin d'Áine Uí Laoi ag déanamh an caoineadh den chéad uair agus táim chomh buíoch sin gur tháinig mé air... Ar an drochuair, is traidisiún é an caoineadh nach gcleachtar níos mó. Tá suim ollmhór agam i bhfuaimeanna agus i stíleanna nua ceoil. I dtaca leis an cheol a dhéanaim féin de, bím i gcónaí ag iarraidh teorainneacha a bhrú, nósanna a bhriseadh agus rudaí úra a thriail. Rud amháin a thaitin go mór liom agus mé ag foghlaim faoi na mná caointe, nó an nós a bhí acu sa sean-am suí in aice leis an chónra agus iad ag dul don chaoineadh. Creidim gur bealach a bhí ann don phobal déileáil leis an bhás agus leis an bhrón. Tá go leor daoine ag tiontú i dtreo na Gaeilge agus ag smaoineamh faoin gcultúr atá fréamhaithe sa tír seo le tamall anuas. Cé/cad a spreag do spéis san amhránaíocht i nGaeilge? // Many people have been turning to the Irish language and thinking about the culture that is rooted in this country for some time now. Who/what sparked your interest in singing in Irish? Ó mo chairde is mó a fuair mé an spreagadh. Tá cairde agam a dhéanann cumarsáid liom i nGaeilge agus mhothaigh mé riamh gur mhaith liom iarracht a dhéanamh ár dteanga a fhoghlaim. Tá do chuid ceoil lán le brí agus anam. An bhfaigheann tú faoiseamh ó bhuairimh an tsaoil tríd an gceol? Your music is full of soul and meaning, do you get a respite from the worries of life through music? Go cinnte. Cuidíonn an ceol liom mo chuid mothúcháin a chur in iúl. Tógann an ceol in airde mé go riocht ardaithe, áit a mbím in ann mo chuid mothúcháin a phróiseáil, bíodh siad lúcháireach nó brónach. Slí atá ann chun féachaint taobh istigh duit féin agus comhbhá a bheith agat do thrioblóidí daoine eile. Cá bhfeiceann tú do chuid ceoil i dtimpeallacht an cheoil in Éirinn atá faoi bhláth i láthair na huaire? // Where do you see your music in the currently thriving music scene in Ireland? (Answer in Irish) 4. Hmm... áit éigin idir Richie Kavanagh, traid-phorn agus amhráin glóracha catairseacha an ghrá! What else have you planned for the remainder of the year? Where can we see you next? I have written another piece of work along with Crash Ensemble and my love, Harry Hennessy. We've written a conceptual piece about the degradation of rural Ireland, taking inspiration from John Healy's 1967 book No One Shouted Stop. This will be at "Sounds from a Safe Harbour" in Cork and hopefully more. Doing more Irish Wake Tour gigs across the sea and one grand finale of The Irish Wake Tour in The Button Factory 18th November. I'm also really excited to be part of the Seán Corcoran Series in Drogheda in early September. I'll be undertaking a concert and residency there along with great friends of mine Muireann Ní Shé and Macdara Yeates. I'm looking forward to getting to know the local lore and stories and incorporating my findings into a piece of work. I think it's important to highlight the richness of Ireland and this local Louth community in particular, with its stories and people.

'Skibidi' among 6,000 words added to Cambridge dictionary
Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.

Dáithí Ó Sé & Kathryn Thomas launch the 2025 Rose of Tralee International Festival
Presenters Dáithí Ó Sé and Kathryn Thomas made waves in the capital as they officially welcomed the 2025 Roses aboard the MV Cill Airne boat to launch the 65 th Rose of Tralee International Festival. The Rose of Tralee remains one of Ireland's most enduring and beloved cultural events, bringing together people from across the country and around the world to celebrate Irish identity, heritage and ambition. The five-day Festival will culminate in the selection of the 2025 International Rose of Tralee. The televised event will take place on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 August from 8pm - with a break for the Nine O'Clock News and resuming at 9.35pm - live on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player. As this year's Roses cruise towards Tralee, the MV Cill Airne was buoyant with excitement. The 32 women from all corners of the globe gathered together in the capital to meet Dáithí and Kathryn who are on board once again and ready to steer the course throughout the festivities. Dáithí said: 'Every year, the Rose of Tralee brings something new - new faces, new stories and a renewed sense of pride in the achievements of Irish women across the globe. I've been part of the Festival for 15 years now, and I still get that buzz when the Dome lights up and the Roses take to the stage. I can't wait to do it all over again this year- it's going to be something special.' Kathryn added: ' I'm absolutely thrilled to be returning to Tralee for this year's Festival. Over the past two years, I've found it incredibly energising to be surrounded by accomplished, inspiring women who are all part of the same tribe. What I love most is that it's not all about gowns or glitter — it's about grit, grace and the powerful stories behind each Rose. I can't wait to meet this year's group and be part of the magic all over again.' The Rose of Tralee will be available to watch for free, live and on-demand by audiences in Ireland and around the world on RTÉ Player.
