Donegal‘s Rory and the Island has reached 3 million streams on Spotify – a mark that has given him mixed feelings.

Rory Gallagher has had a career in music spanning over two decades, and the achievement had him reflecting on the changes in the music industry in recent years – good and bad.

While Spotify has helped the man most famous for the iconic Jimmy’s Winning Matches find a new audience and help his fans listen to music on-demand, the much lower payout streaming gives to artists compared to physical media has had its effect.

“I passed 3 million plays on Spotify! However, i have mixed feelings about it,” Rory posted on social media.

“Firstly a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been listening to my music on Spotify for years it really means a lot to me. I listen to Spotify myself in the car, it’s there now!”

“I suppose us musicians need to accept the glory days of CD sales are gone, it used to be fantastic, you could get a CD printed for €1 and sell them for €10 , if you sold a few after a gig it really was such a bonus.”

“If you did this 5 times a week and saved the money (even though you were nowhere near the charts) you could maintain a career as a self sustained recording artist. But Spotify have really cornered the market in the last few years, yet the payback for a smaller artist like myself is just peanuts a month.”

The cost of producing high-quality music is also far higher than many would expect, even for smaller artists.

“To record one proper single in a half decent studio with other musicians and get it mastered and released can cost about €1000.”

“People harp on about the revival of vinyl, but it’s not a real thing, it costs a fortune to print a vinyl, they travel badly, and the sales are realistically a tiny percentage of what they were in the 1970s when people would go out and buy 5 or 6 a week.
So it feels like a massive gamble, which I no longer take.”

“The modern way around this is you buy a few decent mics, you buy a high quality laptop, an interface, buy pro-tools, stands, qaulity headphones etc. Before you know it you have spent about €5,000.”

“You could spend years trying to recoup this money on Spotify… and the quality of your work will suffer as you are not interacting with technically trained professionals or hiring other top musicians.”

On top of this initial expense, this now means that for most smaller musicians they can’t make a living from doing what they love.

“If Spotify were to pay a tiny bit more it would all make sense, when added to gig money, radio royalties and physical sales etc. I hope someday they do, or music is going to keep getting cheaper, more AI driven, and worse in general.”

“It’s a shame because I still hear so many great young acts out there.”

However he does acknowledge just how handy streaming services like Spotify can end up being…

“A comical side-note is I now have Spotify premium on my phone… So I’m giving them €144 back every year” You have to laugh or else you will cry.”

New plans for a petrol station at the site of the Creeslough tragedy have been deemed not acceptable by Donegal County Council planners, Donegal Daily has learned.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has also raised a number of issues with the proposed rebuilding of the Creeslough service station.

Plans were submitted in April by Vivo Shell Ltd seeking to rebuild a filling station and shop at the location where ten people lost their lives at the Applegreen shopping and apartment complex in October 2022.

The planning application was delayed pending further information. A revised site layout and a road safety audit were submitted in September.

A new report by TII, seen by Donegal Daily, states the proposed development, if approved, “would adversely affect the operation and safety of the national road network”.

TII said that the revised layout doesn’t appear to address a number of road safety issues raised with the proposed development.

“The Authority is of the opinion that insufficient data has been submitted with the planning application to demonstrate that the proposed development will not have a detrimental impact on the capacity, safety or operational efficiency of the national road network in the vicinity of the site,” the report said.

In a separate document, planners of Donegal County Council said the proposed amendments are “not acceptable”.

The planning authority requires that the post office is relocated to the N56 roadside frontage and that the store is relocated to the western side of the proposed building.

Issues were also highlighted regarding proposed disabled parking arrangements, which the planner said would result in drivers having to reverse against the proposed one-way system within the forecourt.

The proposed loading area located along the frontage was deemed “not acceptable” and results in an obstructive obstacle for pedestrian, vehicle and cyclist users, using the public road area to the front of the site along the N56.

The planning authority also said the scope of the road safety audit was too narrow to consider the road safety impacts on the adjoining public road infrastructure and adjacent properties. The developer was instructed to revise the audit.

Vivo Shell has been given until December 12, 2024 to supply the remaining items in the further information request.

The second anniversary of the Creeslough tragedy was marked on Monday 7th October with several remembrance ceremonies. Families affected by the disaster gathered at the site at 3.17pm to mark the exact time that the explosion ripped through the building.

Ten candles were placed at the site remembering Robert Garwe and his five-year-old daughter Shauna Flanagan-Garwe, Catherine O’Donnell and her 13-year-old son James Monaghan, Jessica Gallagher, Martin McGill, James O’Flaherty, Martina Martin, Hugh Kelly, and 14-year-old Leona Harper.

Vivo Shell Ltd, in its application, has expressed hope that their aim to respect the wishes of those affected by the tragedy is evident.

The plans include a memorial area of ten lighted poles at the roadside, commemorating the lives lost in the explosion, those injured and the public affected by the tragedy.

However, several public submissions received by the planning authority say that seeing a shop on the site would add to the heartache of grieving families. Others called for a memorial garden to be built on the site, rather than it being ‘business as usual’.

The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) has issued a warning that some defibrilators in Donegal and across Ireland may have labels that are incorrect.

The authority says that a number of Defibtech Automated External Defibrillator (AED) pads supplied here and elsewhere have unauthorised labels.

The labels contain an incorrect expiry date, which could lead to expired AED pads being used after their shelf life date.

According to the HPRA, this means that it could potentially result in a poor electrical connection and reduced energy delivered to a patient.

Defibtech has issued a Field Safety Notice (FSN) to highlight this issue, which will detail how to identify an affected AED pad and outlines the actions to be taken by the customer or user to arrange for the removal and exchange of an affected AED pad.

The HPRA has also contacted a number of potentially impacted organisations directly to further raise awareness of the issue and is urging users to immediately check their AED pads.

Defibtech is working with the HPRA, the regulatory authority for medical devices in Ireland, to further investigate this matter and its impact on affected customers, as well as to assess the total number of pads affected.

Information available to-date suggests that on a selected number of AED electrode pads the authorised label, which provides information on the expiry date, appears to have been removed and an unauthorised label applied outside of Defibtech’s control. This could potentially lead to an expired AED Pad appearing as though it is within the acceptable use range

Products Affected:

DDP-100 Adult Defibrillation Pads: For use with AED Models: Lifeline and Lifeline Auto (DDU-1XX Series)

DDP-200P: Pediatric Defibrillation Pads For use with AED Models: Lifeline and Lifeline Auto (DDU-1XX Series)

DDP-2001: Adult Defibrillation Pads For use with AED Models: Lifeline View Auto, Lifeline Pro, Lifeline ECG, Lifeline View (DDU-2XXX Series)

DDP–2002: Pediatric Defibrillation Pads For use with AED Models: Lifeline View Auto, Lifeline Pro, Lifeline ECG, Lifeline View (DDU-2XXX Series)

Defibtech and the HPRA are advising that customers who have one of the Defibtech AED (models listed above) and have purchased Defibtech AED pads to immediately inspect the product label as per Defibtech’s guidance in its FSN. Those with affected product should urgently contact Oxygen Care, Defibtech’s new Irish market distributor, to arrange a return and exchange for an authorised labelled Defibtech AED Pad free of charge.

Stranorlar man Denis Grindel has won a prestigious award for his starring role in a haunting but powerful LGBTQ+ short film – Fairview Park.

Denis won the Iris Prize for Best British Performance in a Male Role for his portrayal of Declan Flynn in the film based on a horrific true story of homophobia in Dublin.

Declan Flynn was 31 years old when he was murdered in 1982 by a gang of five self-described “queer-bashing” teenagers that included a 14-year-old boy. Declan’s murder is often regarded as a catalyst for the Irish gay rights movement.

The Iris Prize awards, held on Saturday, is the world’s largest LGBTQ+ short film competition. Following the awards, Channel 4 has picked up all the Iris finalists to stream on the All 4 player for free.

On Grindel’s role, one of the organisers of the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival said:  “I am SO excited to watch Dennis’ career. What a performance. You felt his fear, his anxiety and want to be loved and accepted. Stunning.”

The short also stars Oscar-winning Belfast actor James Martin, who was the first person with Down’s Syndrome to win an Academy Award for his role in ‘ An Irish Goodbye’.

Fairview Park is available to watch here: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/fairview-park

A Letterkenny man who became aggressive towards Gardai when they were called to a disturbance in Falcarragh has been warned he is “coming to the end of the road”.

Judge Éiteáin Cunningham (pictured) issued the stern message to Ryan Scanlon when he appeared before Falcarragh District Court.

The 24-year-old, with an address at Meadowbank Park, Letterkenny, was before the court in relation to an incident at Ballina Cottages, Falcarragh on November 12, 2023.

Inspector Seamus McGonigle told the court that Scanlon, who was highly intoxicated, was having an argument with his girlfriend and Gardai were called to the scene.

Inspector McGonigle said Scanlon became threatening and abusive to officers who arrived. After resisting arrest, Scanlon had to be restrained and was arrested.

The court heard that Scanlon has several previous convictions, including for the possession of knives, public order offences, a conviction under the Misuse of Drugs Act and some road traffic convictions.

“A recurring theme,” remarked Judge Cunningham.

Scanlon’s solicitor, Mr Patsy Gallagher, said his client was under the influence of alcohol and has a difficulty with alcohol. “There was nothing more sinister than that,” Mr Gallagher said.

“We are coming to the end of the road,” Judge Cunningham said. Scanlon was convicted and fined €200 with five months to pay.

A major rescue operation was sparked yesterday after a cow fell down a steep embankment on the shores of Lough Swilly.

The terrified animal tumbled down the embankment between Inch Island and the Farland Banking.

The Irish Coast Guard immediately rushed to the scene in a bid to assess the situation.

A hoist was set up and a number of members of the Coast Guard abseiled down to the cow.

The members then managed to coax the cow further down the embankment towards the shoreline.

The high tide was moving rapidly in and fears grew that the animal may then be trapped once again.

However, there was a happy ending when the cow simply walked along the shoreline and returned to the local field.

See below to see how all the drama unfolded with thanks to Malcolm Riddell for the great pictures.

Donegal County Council is inviting the public to an information event to hear more about the plans for the reuse of the old Courthouse in Letterkenny as an exciting tourist attraction.

The drop-in will take place at the former court building on Thursday, 24th October.

The aim of the project is to reuse the structure as a major tourist attraction with the objective of increasing visitor numbers to Letterkenny’s historic town centre, and to the wider Northwest region.

A previous drop-in event was held in January. Following on from that, three of the best ideas for what the visitor experience might be were brought forward for ‘consumer testing’. The process informed the identification of the preferred idea which is now being developed further to create an Interpretation Plan and a Business Plan, the council said.

To find out more about the project, the public and stakeholders are invited to come along to a drop-in Information Event on Thursday 24th October 2024 at the old Courthouse, Letterkenny, anytime between 3pm-8pm.The consultancy team, led by EPIC Heritage Consulting Ltd and the Regeneration Team of Donegal County Council, will be available to give more information on the stage in the project and next steps.

Cllr Gerry McMonagle, Mayor of Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District said, “The old Letterkenny Courthouse is in a fantastic location in the heart of the town centre and we are very excited about the potential it offers to create an amazing tourist attraction that will act as a Gateway to Discover Donegal. I am encouraging the public to come along to the old Courthouse on Thursday 24th October to hear more about the work that has been done to date to develop a great visitor experience for the town.’

The project is funded by the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) with match funding provided by Donegal County Council. It forms part of Councils wider Leitirceanainn 2040 Regeneration programme (www.letterkenny2040.ie)

The State meteorological service said ‘exceptionally high supermoon spring tides’ could make coastal flooding possible around the county. It has also issued wind warnings for Saturday night and into Sunday.

The alert is valid from this morning until midnight on Saturday.

“We are monitoring another low-pressure system which could undergo rapid deepening on Saturday with the potential for strong winds and potentially a named storm; however, uncertainty still exists about this event,” a spokesperson for Met Éireann said. 

“Additionally, we are currently in one of the highest Spring tides of the year and this, tied in with any strong winds and high waves, will increase the risk of coastal flooding.”

Dry Arch Park in Bonagee hosts a tasty tie tonight (Thursday) as Donegal referees and football coaches cross swords in a fundraising match.

The charity contest between Whistler’s United – the Donegal Underage League referees – and Hardly Athletic – the Donegal Underage League coaches – is in aid of Ruby Kiernan Houston.

The six-year-old was recently diagnosed with an advanced aggressive cancer, neuroblastoma, which was only discovered after she attended the emergency department with a sore leg.

A GoFundMe page set up has gathered over €100,000 already.

The fundraisers are on behalf of Alana and Seany, Ruby’s parents.

Organisers say that funds raised will help cover the loss of income from being off work for the foreseeable, traveling from Donegal to Dublin for her treatment and covering living expenses while in Crumlin Children’s Hospital.

There is a long and difficult battle ahead for them as parents as Ruby receives what will hopefully be life saving treatment through chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy.

Tonight’s game, which is being organised by Jason Gibson and Peter Doherty, kicks off at 7.30pm and donations will be taken from patrons.

A man whose actions sparked a major row in the middle of Dunfanaghy has avoided a conviction.

Falcarragh District Court heard that Niall Hopkins was attempting to “protect his family” in the incident on September 10, 2023.

Hopkins, a 57-year-old of Sheepshill, Ballymena, was before the court charged in connection with an incident at Market Square, Dunfanaghy.

Inspector Seamus McGonigle told the court that Gardai were called to the scene of an incident at 1.18am. Statements were taken and “a number of prosecutions” taken in relation to the incident, Inspector McGonigle said.

Upon viewing CCTV footage, Inspector McGonigle said it became apparent that Hopkins was acting aggressively and in a threatening manner. “There was a huge number of members of the public present,” Inspector McGonigle said.

The actions of Hopkins provoked a further altercation with a separate matter in relation to this also before the court.

Inspector McGonigle said Gardai believed that the behaviour of Hopkins started the entire incident.

Hopkins, who has no previous convictions, was highly intoxicated and met the care “more than fairly”, Inspector McGonigle said.

Mr Patsy Gallagher, solicitor for Hopkins, said his client was on holidays on the day in question with his wife and daughter. Mr Gallagher told the court that they were “approached by individuals” in a premises who had “made derogatory remarks”.

As they waited for a taxi, Mr Gallagher said some parties approached Hopkins’ wife and daughter.

“Unfavourable words were said,” Mr Gallagher said. “My client is seen on CCTV protecting his family. He spent a night in hospital with his wife, who is also an alleged victim. This was quite a traumatic situation for the whole family.”

Judge Éiteáin Cunningham asked regarding the further incident, which she said was “concerning” for the court.

“I appreciate the reasons for his actions, but that doesn’t condone his actions,” Judge Cunningham said.

Inspector McGonigle said Hopkins’ behaviour wasn’t aggressive and was the result of gross intoxication.

“Making a nuisance of himself,” Inspector McGonigle said, “but that alone was enough to inflame matters.”

Judge Cunningham said Hopkins could avoid a conviction by way of making a €300 donation to Little Blue Heroes.

A Councillor has praised Donegal County Council staff for their quick response to ‘outrageous vandalism’ at a historic Inishowen bridge.

Sinn Fein’s Jack Murray was speaking after a large wall coping stone was removed from the 300 year old Castle Bridge in Buncrana overnight and thrown into the river below.

“So saddened to be sent these photos this morning of the outrageous vandalism at the Castle Bridge as a stone has been removed and thrown in the river,” he said.

“This is an insult to the people of Buncrana, and particularly to local Tidy Towns volunteers who work their socks off to present the town as best as it possibly can be.

“Most importantly, I’d ask those responsible to have a bit of cop on and think about what you’re doing.”

However, Cllr Murray was full of praise for council workmen who entered the river later this morning to retrieve the stone.

“Massive thanks to our local council staff who responded so quickly this morning,” he said.

“The stone has now been removed from the river and reset in its rightful place on the bridge’s wall. Credit where credit’s due – the response couldn’t have been quicker.”

Thanks to council workmen, the coping stone is now back in its rightful place.

The Dáil has passed two major pieces of legislation amid growing indications that a general election will be held before Christmas.

The Gambling Regulation Bill, which was identified as one of the key pieces of legislation that needed to be enacted before the calling of an election, was passed.

It prohibits gambling advertising between 5.30am and 9pm and establishes a social impact fund to raise awareness of compulsive and excessive gambling.

Earlier, the Social Welfare Bill was passed in the Dáil which will give effect to the planned welfare increases announced on Budget day.

It means that most of the government’s legislative work has been completed except for the Finance Bill.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin told The Irish Times podcast that it was reasonable to assume there would be an election before Christmas if all the required legislation was passed.

It comes amid mounting speculation that the Dáil could be dissolved early next month if the Finance Bill is passed earlier than scheduled.

This would then pave the way for an election on possibly Friday 29 November or Friday 6 December.

The woman, 22-year-old Zainab Agoro, is to stand trial at the next sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court beginning on October 29th next.

She faces a total of 57 charges of money laundering and a further 27 cases of theft.

She is charged with converting, transferring, handling, acquiring, possessing or using property that is the proceeds of criminal conduct, to wit an ATM cash lodgement of €1,350.

This cash was lodged to her Allied Irish Bank account while being reckless as to wether or not the said property was the proceeds of criminal conduct.

There are 57 of these such charges covering various dates and locations.

Agoro, of Station Street, Clongriffen, Dublin 13, is also charged with a number of theft charges.

One such charge reads that on April 11th, 2022 at Allied Irish Bank, Portlaoise, Co Laois, did steal property to wit €350 lodged to Allied Irish Bank, the property of the Department of Social Protection.

She faces 24 of these such charges.

Garda Gillian Page gave evidence of the arrest, charge and caution of Ms Agoro at Letterkenny District Court today.

Her solicitor, Mr Patsy Gallagher, asked the court for both a senior and junior counsel for the forthcoming trial “considering the complexity of the matters.”

Judge Michael Ramsey adjourned the case until October 29th to the Letterkenny Circuit Court sessions.
