- On this week’s episode of The Real Health Podcast, I’m joined by Professor Phil Jakeman, Professor of Exercise Science at the University of Limerick, to discuss why muscle is one of the most important tissues for lifelong health.
While many of us associate muscle with strength or appearance, it also plays a crucial role in mobility, metabolic health and healthy ageing. Professor Jakeman explains why we begin to lose muscle from our thirties onwards, how this affects our health as we age, and the practical steps we can take through exercise and nutrition to stay stronger, healthier and more independent for longer.

- Description
- Lee McDonnell began what would become a prolific and fearsome career in crime when he was just a teenager. McDonnell’s violent and reckless actions characterised him as a different breed of Irish criminal – one that stood sharply apart from his peers.
He was fond of boosting his own notoriety and didn’t seem to fear any reprisal, going so far as to publicly mock the prison system during his many stints behind bars. He even managed a high-profile escape that resulted in a nationwide manhunt.
In total, McDonnell built up over 140 convictions and was suspected of numerous other crimes, including two unsolved murders and a recent high-profile stabbing. Last weekend, his lust for chaos came to an end when he died suddenly at the age of 34 after being found unresponsive in a Garda holding cell.

- To start with, RTÉ hasn’t released “thousands of documents”.
During his latest appearance at a Dáil committee last month, Kevin Bakhurst appeared bemused when asked about an ongoing data request from former presenter Ryan Tubridy and his agent, Noel Kelly.
“The updated position is that we have given them thousands of documents,” the director general said.
Actually, RTÉ now admits it’s “thousands of pages” and not “thousands of documents” – there’s a big difference. Apparently, it’s hundreds of documents.
Among the “thousands of pages” released by RTÉ are copies of transcripts of Oireachtas committee hearings and newspaper clippings on file, among other publicly available material. It’s not quite what the pair were looking for. But what they are seeking is quite revealing about RTÉ’s inner workings.
