On Saturday we ran the first ever NDRC Startup Sprint, powered by the RDI Hub. Limerick was the location for this incredible day. From 10am to 5.30pm, the energy in the building was electric. We had 14 teams come up with ideas and develop prototypes during the day with the support of mentors. It was amazing to see the creativity and innovation shown by the participants. This was evident when they demonstrated their prototypes to our esteemed judges in the evening. This day would not have happened without the support from the team at the RDI Hub, the NDRC, Michael MacCurtain from Limerick Chamber Skillnet, and the incredible team from Immersive Software Engineering, Roisin Lyons, PhD and Alison McDevitt. The ISE building is unbelievable. The judges on the day were Rajesh Biddala, Maeve Lyons and John Savage. We were joined by brilliant mentors that supported the teams throughout the day. The mentors included Chris Kelly, Gareth Morrissey, Tony Foote, Eoin Walsh, Liam Mulcahy, Eoghan Mulcahy, Peter Hunt, Veronica Breene, Ben Fitzgerald Kiely, Sarah Walker, John Roche, André Balico, and Joe Gorman. Huge thanks to Liam Cronin for giving me the opportunity to organise an event like this. – at Limerick, Ireland

Today was an extremely proud and exciting day for me. As you know I currently drive my chair using my head on my headrest as my arms didn’t have the strength. But today I got a joystick fitted on my wheelchair and I have now built up enough strength and movement in my arm to use my hand on a joystick to drive my wheelchair. This is a goal I have been trying to reach since 2017 but I simply wasn't strong enough to do it. I have no finger movement but I now also have enough strength so I have a little button you can see on my arm rest that I punch to turn on the wheelchair & to select my menu💪 Ever since I done it today I haven't taken the smile off my face and I am just buzzing knowing that my hard work and stubbornness was worth it over the last 6 years since my accident. The fact I was told I would never move a muscle or a limb again makes it that much sweeter. I told myself that there will be haters, there will be doubters, there will be non-believers, and then there will be ME proving them wrong. I hope I am an example for others to show you can beat the odds! 💯 Thank you so much to everyone on here believing in me and continue supporting me everyday, this success is as much for you as it is for me. Please give this video a share to spread the word so it might give another person hope. This is a huge millstone hit and my next aim is to be able to push myself in a manual wheelchair, and it might take a year, 2 years or even 3 years but one thing is for sure, it WILL happen and that is for sure! 👨‍🦽 #rehab #progression #spinalcordinjury #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #sci #quadriplegic #paralysis #wheelchairuser #spinalcordinjuryrecovery #wheelchairtravel #ireland #keephustling #motivation #spinalcordinjuryawareness #paralyzed #spinalinjury #nevergiveup #recovery #spine #quadraplegic #ifyoucantstandupstandout

Aoife is one of thousands of ‘mortgage prisoners’ from 2008 banking crisis

Despite never missing a mortgage payment on her family home, the Kerry mother of three nonetheless finds herself at the mercy of a vulture fund, writes Special Correspondent Mick Clifford

This skein of wool was dyed with oak leaves gathered from the garden, which have given a very pleasing rich acorn nut brown shade...🍂
