lk about in the podcast here it's you're an open you're an open enough person anyway but it's had a huge reaction and it's going to impact people in a positive way I think so well done to you and the team behind it no problem yeah yeah it was a bit of a strange thing going on to those subjects because normally for one I'm often asking questions or it's just GAA but that was kind of more a look back at life and life in general and it was about overwhelming actually the messes have been unreal like people have been so kind but when you hear it back then you think I could have said this better or that better no don't worry never listen back I know I listened to it once one take that's it it's not good it's not good but now it is listen we're always our worst critic did you feel better yourself in sort of not venting a bit do you know what I mean sometimes I think particularly as lads I don't think you're as bad as many of us that you know you bottled a lot of stuff up but then it's nice then if you can get it out there especially if it might benefit other people as well did you get a benefit in that way from it Brendan or you open enough book anyway that you're a chatter anyway well but Greg that's what I'm saying I thought then maybe the way you were trying to put your whole life on the one and I was trying to express how I felt at that time and listen Greg that Martin was playing for Donnie Gaul in his 12th he's a very different person to me now and I was trying to just I suppose examine that what was going through my head when I was playing and I didn't want it to be overly negative but I would have been very hard on myself on that obviously I have my own theories on that as a young lad you know and there's some quite interesting insights into it and about how your performances connected to how you felt and wanted to switch off and on and on and as I say you know even in broadcast and I felt the same way myself in that regard and you know a lot of people will relate to that and you talk about the awful loss of that you occurred last year as well as I say I have no wish you cross-promote the only one thing I will say I think it's been said on social media and during that podcast that you need to do more behind the mic work stuff did I hear you mention the Highland Radio deal debate no I did not Brendan and that is a black spot in your book you've got a black card for that one the Highland was mentioned if I had another ten minutes I would have got you I'm not even going to mention in the middle of it but obviously they're talking about the tragedy that was tough but it's important to remember them people and I suppose the people that have helped us at that time and I just I felt we were bad and I didn't maybe thank more people then because normally Greg if you do something it's been and gone but because there was so much interest in this it's almost like one of the moments where you could have said this this and this but it's done now and I suppose the good news story of the Greg is we sponsored a couple of children off the back of it a couple of people have come on to me and just give me the link I want to sponsor a child through Plan of the Nestle and the joke about the boat in it where as I was buying for a college and I was buying a boat I know Greg you know about this you were just so close you were so close here's what's happened since a guy has offered to buy me a boat brilliant good stuff take that off where are you going to use it though I don't know maybe maybe it's too many started right or something don't be thinking boat doesn't something about boat basic like a river he was like hey you you have to talk all sorts of boats out like he's sure about this especially with your family you'll love it because I know you were just on the brink last year so we'll have you at the water this year one way or other brilliant stuff Brent come here I'll have to get my engine started first come here people I enjoyed the two games yesterday what's your reflection on them I think I like boring games they're like boring boxing matches I don't really need it to be all show because I try and look at different elements of the game or a fight or something that I find entertaining or a game of snooker or whatever it could be have we established the top four teams in the country that we need to keep an eye out this year after the league I think so Greg I suppose this one is a bit strange to play a league final with championships the following week and that is made everything a bit strange because there always is a huge break in the championship and there always used to be back in the day a massive break it could be six, seven weeks where at times where you really you know the league you're just moving along and then you lifted it for this huge fitness and training and the championship particularly the first few weeks of training there so in fact the teams are playing now I think a lot of sides it was a wrong out I don't know it's kind of meaningless to actually win it now it's all about promotion so for Dublin and Derry both back in the top flight where they wanted to be and deservedly so I mean they're two top teams and they're in their top four or five Did we learn more about Derry or Dublin yesterday? I don't know I suppose Goals killed them Greg if you look at the points Tally very very low for Dublin so Derry are getting better at what they do they just got opened up and the Goals killed them so I mean that'll be refined now in the championship I mean for Rory Gallagher was he that worried with one division two you don't think so but certainly if you look at a team that came that could be their Kelly's he lives a conceding goal so it's a massive lesson for them to learn now go down to the championship now I was down with Kieran Greenit as we watched birthday parties and we were watching them on the TV running about after kids so I have to have to get Sunday game on the player again there and have a proper look at it yeah all right good stuff so on the show Joe Tracy will be going through all of the sport with you as well so he knows this stuff top GEA man a new feature live stories all right this is actually to some extent turning the tables a little bit Bren and I think you know from the position you're coming from it leaves you you know in a very good position to interview people as well so your first guest in this new feature yeah Nadine Doherty is coming on she's a former Donny Gaul's in Dunningston she's playing everywhere her career is absolutely phenomenal and she's a brilliant person on top of that you know I was out of I compared a 9% units ladies there a while back it was like a reunion night and they basically bossed football in Donny Gaul in those early years you know championships in Ulsters and club final that but Nadine would have played for them she actually made her debut for senior's when she was 12 it was crazy she made her debut for Donny Gaul senior ladies when she was 15 and she's captain most of the teams she played for she played in New York for a couple of years one championships there one championships in Dublin with the Fina captain in teams and same at St. Patstrom Conrad when she's doing her teacher training up there she played basketball played soccer just a phenomenal woman she landed back actually in 2003 when Donny Gaul won the All-Ireland Junior title my sister was captain then but Nadine you know sometimes timing can just be be right and spreading for her she said deputy head up in Dublin there and at least she also does loads of media stuff she's involved in the GA she she works with RT in that as well and she's on many boards so that night I was doing the compare I was taking different groups of girls up to talk but just even talking there she's such a good way where and I said there that mate here listen I have to get you get you on for a chat so she's coming on first guest Colin McFadden one of our heroes for 2012 he's coming on next week so it's just in between the time of championship and that Greg where we haven't got as much going on on the pitch as such for Donny Gaul I just wanted to maybe highlight a few of our former stars and they bring their doing and what they're doing now yeah I think it's a brilliant idea as you say alright okay that's Nadine Daherty Ger Tracey, Brendan Daveney all coming up for you live here on Highland Radio just after the 7pm news you can podcast it to on Highland Radio and the deal debate in association with Sarah's Kitchen at Sister Sarah's in letter Kenny Brent listen again congratulations if people want to listen to the podcast you can go to BBC sounds it's an app on your Android or your Android or Apple devices and you can listen to it there it is well worth listening to it Brent great just quick one our hurlers were in the league by the weekend listen I didn't hear the result we have to keep all our minors going as well but just in the hurlers don't expect them to be in the Division 2B it's somewhere Division 2A massive step up and I think they're beaten by me but they still give a good account to themselves and it's just the progression of Donny Gaul hurling is phenomenal Division 2B was a step up that Donny Gaul weren't really able for for many years now they're very stable they're pushing to go to 2A so just like they just say still well done to the Mickey McCann and his team there's interviews up on the Highlands side there just from the game they're getting ready for the Nicky Racker now as the championship comes in all right listen take care of yourself Brent thanks very much indeed all right Brent and Devanesa say or as we said he's live with you this evening after the 7 o'clock news we'll be back with more in the 90 noon show after these watch the show live now on YouTube, Facebook and at HighlandRadio.com Kelly Steiner.

Okay delighted to welcome on to the show this morning Daniel O'Donnell good morning to you Daniel thanks so much for chatting to us here thanks Greg how are you doing I'm doing fantastic and congratulations on a couple of fronts firstly had a few people I know well at the concert last week absolutely loved it class act as always from you Daniel and the rest of the artists that you showcased and also great show on Friday I've only seen bits and bobs but it's great to see country music showcased on such a platform and what a lovely honor for you and some of your friends to be honored by on post how does it feel well you know it's amazing it's a boost I never thought my face would be on a stamp it's it's kind of unbelievable really you know that the stamps can go anywhere now they can go all over the world so yes it's a great it's a great honor it's a great honor for country music to be to be you know linked with such such an honor and I think it's a testament to what country music is meant to the Irish public you know there's an awful lot of people that enjoyed country music for many many years so I suppose this five of us you know that are honored or on the stamps but I think country music in general has been you know applauded not just us but I feel very privileged that I'm one of the five that was chosen yeah and it's great for the industry I think in anyone in it that country music is front and center and showcase to the entire population not just those who have a love of it although they are great in number you know what I mean it's good to see it being promoted for what it is absolutely and just you mentioned about the concert and the Mount Erigale we had a great night and thanks to everybody that attended after three years it was a long time to wait and thanks to Highland as well and of course you know I go back and say that it was Pio who asked me as most years ago now what I do this concert to celebrate the 30th anniversary of my opening Highland in 1990 and it was all arranged and sadly Pio didn't get to see the concert you know that we had but he was very well remembered and all was well remembered by many of us that had a great affection for him so it was a celebration for Highland but also a tribute to Pio and all of the other acts I feel very very privileged to you know share the stage with the younger people too you know the four of them were just super I think anybody that was there would say the same thing and it was just lovely to be doing the show again Is there any other genre of music and this is not to detract from others but to elevate country where there is that support from established artists bringing others through and it was funny you mentioned the late great Pio McCann it was during his tribute show we had stories of people getting their first start here there and everywhere and you're continuing that Daniel again I don't think there's another genre of music that you have established acts that use their platform to try and give others assistance and I think it's really quite a remarkable part of it all most of us very very much a part of country music and I think that you know down through the years that has been apparent you know that singers that are established would encourage younger ones and I definitely I'm all for the younger people coming along because that's what's going to keep country music alive you know I remember when I started in 1983 when I was starting out on my own and you know people were thinking then that there was no future for country music and how long they were and then you have all the others came after me that bring new life and to it you know none more than Nathan you know when he came along it was like a rebirth again and you know that'll happen time and time again and they will bring a new audience to the music and you know myself and David recorded don't take the good times for granted that Shunny Crampsy wrote for us and just a such a great song and you know to be able to have somebody like I'm 61 and David is only I think it's 24 and you know that gap is bridged by music and that's not just for the singers that's for the public as well music crosses all boundaries and that's the lovely thing about it but I always encourage young people if they if I can at all or if I hear them on something you know that I hear a record if I can make contact with them I just put myself not that I think I'm any great shakes now but I suppose I've been lucky to have the career it had but I think back to when I was starting if I got encouragement I think it's very important to do that I mean you talk of luck but your success comes from much more than that because I think it's about you and the way you carry yourself and I think anyone looking on if they follow some of your examples in that regard it helps with the look side of things too I think Daniel is what I'm going to trying to say and you blaze the trail and others follow amongst those also that blaze the trail was Margo and she was one of the very few recipients of a very prestigious honor and quite rightly so perhaps not another person outside of yourself as deserving as Margo and the honor she received well definitely she did deserve it you know and not just because she's my sister but you know she has done so much throughout her career and done so much for people as well people love the people that love Margaret absolutely and love her music and she has a huge connection with those that have been following this I hope this award continues and you know Margaret was thrilled to get it she absolutely was thrilled to get it and you know I think never do we become blaze when we get awards no matter where they're from you know to be applauded for something that you love is amazing and that's really what we are that's what's happening for us and what happened for Margaret on Friday night but I do think you know it was well deserved and I suppose Tom got it thank God and Philomena got it you know it's nice that people get these awards while they're still here to appreciate and be appreciated all too often we leave it there are a lot of people I suppose like Larry and Brian Collin Gene Stewart just to name a few and there's more that are gone that I would like to see being honored you know even though they're not here maybe their families could have the award and then you have the like of Susan McCann and you know there's a lot of people that have before made country music what it is and a lot after me that have made a huge impact that's really nice that this role of honor is there and I hope it continues and finally obviously Daniel you were on the Late Late Show on Friday everyone wants you to take the job and you have made some comments in relation to that in terms of how they might choose the right person for the job and I have to say I do agree fully in what you said in that regard if the stars aligned if you got the call even for six months would you do it Daniel no I wouldn't three months no I wouldn't do it for a week that's only one show Daniel do you know what I just feel that you need to know your strengths but you also need to know your limitations and I feel that the Late Late Show is something that you have to have somebody that's able I supposed to be light and heavy and I just would not I wouldn't have the knowledge to speak to politicians and people like that you need to have a huge amount of information in your head and that's why I say you need to know your limitations my limitations don't hold me back but they let me do what I feel I can do and that's the important it's just like singing a song you know I think it's important to know what you're able to I wouldn't dream of singing them I dropped a little bit there but I understand what you're saying but it's nice to be well I mean I'm not going to be considered for that but even that people say it that's what I was going to say do you have someone you'd like to see see there's so many great candidates I suppose you could say but well there are so many great candidates I love Dahi O'Shay myself and I think Dahi would be able to you know I think he'd be able for that the lighter side and I'm sure he'd be able for the interviews that needed a lot of attention and a lot of seriousness too but I mean there's a lot of people there obviously I haven't really heard Dahi being mentioned now he's obviously he's very successful at what he's doing but I do think he would he would do it well just from somebody that I haven't seen much said about but I'm sure those that are going to pick will pick somebody that they feel is right and that's what I said in the paper you know there's all this thing about it should be a woman it should be a woman if she's the right person for the job you know where this thing of equality of course it's we're all equal but you must never put somebody into something that they're not going to be a comfortable with that's a strain and a stress on somebody if you find yourself standing in a spot that you're not fit for very finely you know when it changed hands the last time it was a very very different world I fear for the backlash for many different reasons regardless of who gets it the next time I think I fear that it could be a short lived stint and we could see the end of it because we live in a world now where everyone has an opinion and everyone has a platform to express that opinion and it might be guided by different things that are in their head and I just think it's going to be a tough gig for whoever takes it on Daniel for those reasons yeah well do you know what I would say Greg is that I don't think the majority speaks about everything I don't think the majority speak the majority enjoy and the minority speak all right I think that's profound on those words thanks for your time I know you're up to your ears as you always are so we appreciate you making your time for us available Daniel have a lovely day congratulations again congratulations to Margot and everyone else thank you very much indeed that is the literally

moderate to fresh south to south east winds easing by evening now any of you who are familiar with the show would be aware that we have Dr Joe Kelly on the show on a regular basis but clearly enough I don't think and one of the people we focused on in one of the shows was Kay McNulty who is a remarkable individual and what I might actually do with the times that are in it I might actually try and dig out that interview and make it available on our website because Kay McNulty is going to be honoured her legacy with a new memorial Ayman McFadden is working with the Creasel Community Association on this project and it's going to snow. Good morning to you Ayman, thank you very much for your time today Hiya Greg, good morning to you Now the event takes place on Monday April 3rd at 6.30pm Tell us what's happening and what's being unveiled Ayman and then we'll talk a little bit about Kay I suppose Yeah, sure Greg, so yeah tonight we're unveiling a memorial here in Creasel in the village just at an area known as the corner of the garden just as you approach the village here and it's just something we've been working on for the past 12 we remember a number of years ago people remember that they had a big day to commemorate or remember Brady Gallagher while she was still alive and that was a great success Now sadly Kay McNulty has passed away since but she was born in Creasel and we think it's time that maybe there was something done to recognise the legacy that she left in science and technology here in her home village as well so we've been working with the national police and also with the Creasel Community Association as well so we have a nice interpretive panel and a commemorative plaque all built on a nice handmade stone plinth that we're going to unveil tonight here, something that will hopefully maybe give people an insight into who Kay was, what type of person she was, her achievement and maybe help inspire the next generation of young people in STEM, subject science technology, engineering and mathematics as well so that's what's really happening tonight And we were talking about people like Margot who is a trailblazer in music Kay, a trailblazer in her chosen area and a big push on to get more women in particular into STEM subjects, Kay as you mentioned has sadly passed on but she will be well represented because there will be people visiting I understand and also too of course, her deep roots her family connections in and around Creasel Absolutely, Greg you're 100% because there still is a significant amount of the family members of the McNulty's that are in the Harkins, the Nailuses, these are all related into these families so there's a lot of these people here as well and we're lucky too to have Kay's granddaughter Naomi most is visiting here tonight she's going to be our guest to unveil the plaque for us, she is a computer developer herself very much inspired by her grandmother and she talks fondly about Kay and the kind of very down to earth person she was and so it's nice to have that connection to think that we'll have someone who traveled all the way from San Francisco to be here just to unveil our plaque you know that people will enjoy it for many years to come I mean it's a you know legacy is really important but that's a particularly beautiful legacy to inspire your granddaughter to continue in the same field that you did I mean what an impact to have on another human I think it's remarkable we shouldn't forget of course because this is all about Kay being one of the world's first computer programmers and you can imagine all she would have had to overcome to get to the top of her field it's a remarkable story right across the county and actually not least in Kreisle and surrounding areas we have trailblazers sorry to use that word again but you know people that either stayed here or went from here and were incredibly incredibly influential oh yeah wholeheartedly I mean I suppose Kay maybe didn't get the full recognition during her lifetime I think of what she actually had achieved it was interesting that the first computer that she helped a pioneer program the ENIAC was designed by a guy called Dr. John Mockley and Press Eckhart okay ultimately ended up marrying John Mockley so the very the pioneer who designed the first reprogram computer and one of the very first programmers ended up having a family so you can imagine they're deeply embedded in the history of all this but trailblazer is what she was there was just six women who had to learn to program that the device was actually designed and constructed but even at that point it wasn't fully and sure how it would work so it took Kay and those women to actually go from the grassroots up to learn every aspect of the machine now this isn't a small machine now like we have our laptops at home this is a machine that had over 18,000 valves in it 1800 feet in floor space and it weighed around 30 tons this thing was absolutely a behemoth of a machine but that's what set the path for the first programmable computer and that's the legacy that we see today that paved the way for the connected computer generated the computer world we live in today you can put it down to just a handful of those people I mean everything the mobile phone that people have in their hands the laptops you mentioned the computer on which we're streaming space exploration do you know what I mean everything really in some way everything yeah everything you know it all goes back to that there initially it was to help work out trajectories during the second world war this is what it was primarily developed for but it never saw active service during that time so afterwards it was used for primarily peaceful means to solve like engineering problems and things like this and that's the way that was it was used right up until the 1950s and was superseded by the next generation computer which they helped to pioneer as well yeah okay and I presume you didn't have to beg Naomi to come over because you know it's a great honor to the families that you mentioned not least the McNaltes and her direct descendants the likes of Naomi most it's lovely for them to see Kay getting the recognition now that you quite rightly pointed out that perhaps has taken up until recently to really be to be given to her yeah no yeah I think it's a proud time for them they grew up that environment of their parents being technology pioneers but they always kept a strong connection with Chrysler and Donny Gall that was always foremost in Kay's life throughout her life so the fact that they think that this we're doing something here for them I know it means a lot to them I'd be in regular contact with Kay's daughter Ginny in America unfortunately couldn't attend and also her son Bill they'll get to attend here in the future and it'll be nice when they do get here to see that you know what Kay's legacy does mean for the people of Chrysler what it can mean possibly to the next generation but we'll have a bit of fun tonight now with the like of Naomi here as well she's going to talk more about Kay and the type of person she was and all that one we're here so we look forward to that as well isn't it quite remarkable Aiman how things have progressed when we're talking about someone so influential in the creation of something that we all benefit from and use from directly and indirectly and you talk of you know her children still being alive and her granddaughter travelling over and still very active in that field isn't it astonishing how from that acorn this incredibly large oak for all its faults at times has grown in such a short period of time like you know it's history but my word it's not that far removed from now no no and it's funny I suppose the twists of fate and Kay's life that ultimately saw her been born increasingly she grew up here as a native Irish speaker until she's about three or maybe four years old and that's when the family emigrated she arrived in America as a native Irish speaker it had no word of English but by the time she started schools she could speak English you know she was very bright so the twists and turns of fate that ultimately led her to go to college to study mathematics to find a job that was for a mathematician was required as opposed to just something like teaching for example so she you know it's all those quirks that have led her to the path that she was so it's a remarkable story that that's what got her to the position that has ultimately helped to change the world we live in today you know all right it's going to be a lovely dry bright evening at 6.30pm at the corner of the garden in Creece town it is it's going to be a lovely dry bright evening and I think it's going to be a lovely family event and I think particularly for young people as well to go along too with their families and you know especially to be able to hear from Naomi too because it's amazing one little event in life can change your path in life as well and who's to say someone might not be influenced this evening to become the next K McNulty fair play to you Aiman and all at the Creece Community Association for pursuing this and bring it to fruition and I hope you have a wonderful evening and I'm sure you will and it's just a great thing so we appreciate you coming on with us today. Yeah well thank you so much for your time Greg that's really good and say everybody's welcome and thanks again for having us on. No it's our pleasure at 6.30pm tonight at the corner of the garden of Creece Lotan or in Creece Lotan it's a newly created monument unveiled in Creece on the pioneering work of the late K McNulty one of the world's first computer programmers and just whilst I'm not using this as an opportunity as a cheap way by the way to plug things but we also spoke to Dr Joe Kelly about Creece Lotan and it was in the wake of the awful tragedy that visited that village and many others beyond it all of us the country and beyond as well and we also we took a time to reflect on the history of Creece Lotan and it has an incredibly interesting and rich history it's so if you fancy passing a half an hour or so maybe it's an hour I can't recall how long it is but anyway go on to YouTube and type Highland Radio Creece Lotan or Dr Joe Kelly Creece Lotan and watch that and listen to it whichever way you prefer as I say I hope you'd find it really really interesting I want to say a very happy birthday if you don't mind to Anne Peoples who is in St Johnston and Anne is celebrating her 70th birthday today happy birthday to you Anne from all of us here at Highland Radio on the 9th till noon show of course on the family hope you have a wonderful day let's get to some more comments that have been coming in Hi Greg I just thought I'd let you know I'm 48 years old and two weeks ago I was waiting 33 hours in the A in letter Kenny the ED that is I was waiting for a CT scan there needs to be a better system I mean that that's just 33 hours waiting for CT scan another caller says Gardie should never work with people who wear masks to hide their identity it gives a very bad impression especially when the subject is as sensitive as an eviction we haven't forgotten the very emotive time in our history when families were evicted and their homes destroyed many will use this comparison to further their own agenda indeed and that's why I was trying to have the conversation not in the context of in the context of was it an appropriate way to make the point morning Greg listening to the councillor I wonder is this why the powers that be don't want you in vain in government they'll uncover a lot that are 11 years of the same government are hiding just a thought thank you well I don't think a government may necessarily do you know what actually will be very interesting to see how quickly some of these reports are published if there is a change in government and that is by no means guaranteed but we shall see how quickly these reports get published thereafter a caller says it is public money that was spent after the flood people we have a right to know what it was spent on truckloads of skips leaving the hospital where did it go a caller says my dad was in hospital last weekend his GP sent him and the care he got was amazing I never in my life seen crowds like it at the ED the staff that we met were stretched to the limit and some of them from other wards called into cover short staff situations I'm not sure what's needed to help with the overcrowding eds but something needs to change good luck with the new pathway initiative will listen as as we said in our conversation with John Joe the pathway initiative is not in and of itself going to change it but hopefully it's one of the measures that can be employed that will help that's all we can hope for and looking at the numbers from John Joe there that it might prevent attending the hospital you can see it's bound to have some level of an impact whether or not we as users see it hopefully the staff do when are these delays going to stop I had thought the new HSE premises in Boncran were going to get x-rays too is it still only used for the doctors I'm not really quite sure the answer to that question a caller says I feel this is as it relates to weight loss I feel that there needs to be so much more psychological preparation for those going the surgery route it seems that there is in Ireland but from having close friends who went to Turkey it seems it's more about the physical preparation after care the physical side seems to be really well planned and followed up on but the huge surgery it is the psychological side needs huge huge improvements and I think you're onto something there but also in terms of the after care it has to be said it is the HSE that ends up picking up on that I know that because we had one of the gentlemen who does the after care and some of there are complications with some of it according to our conversation with him okay listen that's where we have to leave it for today
