Trump threatened the people of Minnesota with the following message: “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”These are facts, not opinion. When they should be standing up for the country and acting against the excesses of the administration, they are, instead, sitting it out. And so what kind of credibility does the Republican party have any longer? I do respect political party policy differences and the value of different voices in how we choose our leaders. But when leaders won’t do what they can — and should — do to defend our country’s values and laws, then they’ve lost any claim to legitimate leadership.

Tom TuiteA father of two has been jailed for a "savage attack" where he jabbed a broken glass bottle into a man's neck after wrongly accusing him of taking headphones. Garda Cassells detailed how Rattigan "smashed a bottle off a wall and stuck it into the left side of his neck". The witness described how there was "blood everywhere", and the court heard the man sustained further blows and kicks while on the ground. The court heard that when he went home, he had facial injuries and told his mother that he had been attacked. However, because of the date of the attack, Rattigan's case had to be dealt with under the previous sentencing regime.

The large outdoor dining patio off the ground floor offers similarly impressive vistas, overlooking the sparkling bay and stretching towards Youghal town and the Blackwater River as it meets the sea. Several other beaches lie close to Carleton Village. Youghal town centre is just a few minutes’ walk away.

ETTowles Court sale blow to arts sceneAccording to a Herald-Tribune article, the courtyard at Towles Court is up for sale at $725,000 ("Beloved Towles Court courtyard in downtown Sarasota for sale," Jan. 19).

Once a month Towles Court holds a Friday Art Walk with artists and live music in the courtyard. Towles Court may be able to survive without its attractive courtyard ringed with galleries and open-air restaurants like Indigenous and The Garden Room. But it will be one more blow to Sarasota's once-thriving artists' colony.

Since then, the 38-year-old paediatric cardiologist at CHI Crumlin has juggled full-time work with breastfeeding her seven-month-old son. “To be fair to our legislative and policy frameworks, Ireland has definitely done the right thing by extending breastfeeding breaks to two years. The extension of breastfeeding breaks to two years meant I could continue feeding my younger two. That hour’s break has been a blessing for us because it means I can leave work early. “Engaging with employers as early as possible will help you plan what your workday will look like to facilitate breastfeeding breaks,” she says.

There are many things to take from Dingle’s extraordinary victory in the All-Ireland club football final. The most obvious – and ultimately the most critical – is an understanding of how hard it is to win a championship. Not just the All-Ireland championship, but almost any championship.
