I picked a good day to stay at home and watch on the telly. Louth, like Derry, Meath and Cork, who have been promoted to the top tier, are well placed to have another good championship season. Cork and Meath will contest the Division Two final this weekend and it should be a really good game. Caelim Keogh had a very good league at full-back, although I think Eoin McCormack looks like he could do a very good job there too. There’s plenty of competition in the corners, with the very promising emergence of Paddy Gavin, while Niall Higgins also had a good league.

Louis Theroux issued a chilling warning to the parents of sons this month with the release of his documentary, Inside the Manosphere. 'But alongside that, these guys are preying on young men, cultivating insecurities. Following research that four out of ten young men hold a positive view of sexist commentators it was announced that all secondary schools in England will be required to teach students about healthy and respectful relationships. While on the run in Marbella, Sullivan was visited by Theroux, who was then filming his documentary on toxic masculinity. Elsewhere in the documentary, Theroux was left stunned once again as he watched on while Sullivan's fans 'kicked and punched' a man as they targeted him for content.

“Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war,” Leo said. Russia’s Orthodox Church, too, has justified Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “holy war” against a Western world it considers has fallen into evil. In a special blessing at the end of Mass, Leo said he was praying especially for Christians in the Middle East who are “suffering the consequences of an atrocious conflict.

Irish Times Opinion Editor Jennifer O'Connell looks at a recent US court case and how it could upend social media's hold on us.

After Tom McAllister’s first-half try, Rob Herring, Zac Ward and Werner Kok added their contributions after the break to secure maximum points for Ulster. Zebre took full advantage of early Ulster indiscipline when Tommaso Di Bartolomeo got over from an impressive driving maul, Martin Roger Farias converting. After consulting with the TMO, Welsh referee Craig Evans showed the Zebre winger a straight red card. Zebre refused to lie down though, as replacement Jacopo Trula scored the game’s fifth try after some great handling. ULSTER: E McIlroy; W Kok, J Hume, S McCloskey, Z Ward; J Humphreys, C McKee; E O’Sullivan, R Herring, R McAllister; I Henderson, J Hopes; D McCann, N Timoney, B Ward.

Buyers can get assistance under various support mechanisms – like Help to Buy and First Home Scheme (as covered elsewhere within this special report). Home hunters might still want to balance the attraction of all-new versus perhaps the appeal of moving to an older property in long-settled and well-serviced communities, often within a walk of city attractions. They’ll be weighing factors like convenience and costs – especially if older properties need work, extension or upgrades, especially in a time of sky-rocketed costs – to get your own builders and ‘tradies’ in. A and B-rated homes typically sell for 28% more than lower ones, according to research by property valuations company Geowox. “Many are opting for two- and three-bedroom homes, looking for something modern, energy efficient and manageable that allows flexibility as they travel more or simplify their lifestyle.”Adrianna Hegarty, owner/director of Hegarty Properties.

A kitchen should be custom-built to bring people together, a space that genuinely supports and enriches life, every single day,” says Kevin Fearon, kitchen designer and managing director of Fearon Bros. “This could be that there is no preparation space, appliances are blocking natural flow, or a space simply isn’t being used to its full potential,” he says. Kevin Fearon kitchen with a hidden bar. Photograph: Brandon Schuster“Storage and worktop space are the other giveaways – so if you’re consistently fighting for room, the kitchen likely wasn’t planned with your household’s specific needs in mind. “The most common mistake I see is designing for how a kitchen looks rather than how it works,” Cosgrove says.

There are lies, damn lies, statistics and, sometimes, just plain old errors or erroneous assumptions when assessing the output and activity in Ireland’s housing market. One of these was a claim in online news media that only 30 newly-built houses out of 1,499 new units had sold to private buyers in Cork in 2025: despite being clearly and intuitively wrong, the figure of 30 sales (just 3%) got widespread traction, ignited chat forum threads and debates. Cork’s spurious 30 sales (3%) to private buyers figures, which have yet to be officially corrected, compared dramatically to 38% for the greater Dublin area and up to and over 50% for the wider commuter belt counties, and compare markedly with 30% in Galway (120 out of 415) and 25% in Waterford. Nationally, first-time buyers purchased 7,544 new homes in the year to end December 2025, an increase of almost 24% year-on-year, according to the Department of Housing, indicating Cork’s first-time buyer and private buyer segment had to be in the many hundreds of units. The figure for a wider variety of new homes schemes into and across the county as well as in the expanded city would have meant hundreds more private sales, with another national agency, Savills, also reporting very strong sales in 2025, over 400 sales completions in Cork.

Two young women, blonde hair, bright smiles and even brighter futures; at a glance you could almost mistake them for sisters. Between Natalie McNally and Amy Doherty sit the names of 13 other women, and more if you count girls. Outside the courtroom, McNally’s brother Declan spoke to the media and called violence against women and girls the “shame of our society”, and he is correct. For our small population, we are outstripping other jurisdictions in one area over all others – the murder of women. The conflict also remains a drain on the financial resources of the state; legacy costs millions to police and administer.
