As well as the shock and grief caused by Sunday’s high-speed rail crash in Andalucía, southern Spain, in which at least 40 people died, there has also been bewilderment at the apparent lack of an obvious cause. Spain’s rail network has been one of the successes of its democratic era, in particular, its high-speed rail system, the AVE, which was funded by European money following Spain’s incorporation into the EU in 1986. However, in recent months, Spaniards’ faith in their rail system has been shaken, due to a number of incidents. In April, the whole rail system shut down because of a national electricity blackout. That was not the fault of the rail system; it was a failure that affected every sector.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin was among a Coalition trio who met today to discuss legislation regarding generating and sharing sexual abuse images on social media. Illustration: Paul ScottThe Republic will use its six-month presidency of the European Union to work on prohibiting the generation of non-consensual intimate images and child sexual abuse material, a meeting of the three Coalition principals agreed on Monday night. Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tánaiste Simon Harris and Independent Minister of State Seán Canney met in Government Buildings to discuss domestic and European laws relating to generating and sharing sexual abuse images on social media. The AI Advisory Council has recommended making it simpler for victims to report suspected sharing of non-consensual intimate image abuse. It also recommends a new information campaign explaining that using AI to generate non-consensual intimate images of people is a potential criminal offence.

Conor McGregor has claimed his UFC contract is “void” and due to be renegotiated, as the mixed martial arts promotion enters a new broadcast era. Saturday will bring UFC 324, the company’s first event to stream live on Paramount+, after the UFC parted ways with ESPN at the end of 2025. “I’m the highest-generating PPV fighter of all time [in the UFC],” the former champion continued. Conor McGregor says his UFC deal needs to be renegotiatedConor McGregor moves to bring legal proceedings against a second news outlet over coverage of Nikita Hand civil rape case. I don’t know, I would want to say soon – like, maybe 10 days, something like that, I should have more confirmation on it.

There is a dangerous idea circulating that the Gardaí need tasers to deal with rioting crowds. While tasers are not a single use weapon, they are quite difficult to reload and require care and attention to prevent accidental electrocution. This feeling of being wronged is particularly strong when the force used by the police is spectacular. In a riot, gardaí will often seek to clear participants out of a particular space and to break up crowds. The idea that tasers would be used during a riot fundamentally misunderstands both the dynamics of civil unrest and the function of tasers.

In 2019, Mr Justice McDermott sentenced Boy B to 15 years' detention with a review after eight years from the date of the offence. Brendan Grehan SC told Mr Justice McDermott that in light of the Supreme Court ruling, the 15-year sentence imposed on Boy B stands and the Central Criminal Court has no further role to play. Mr Justice McDermott said he has "no further function in the matter" and said he would make no order in relation to Boy B's sentence. Boy B previously lodged an appeal against his conviction but withdrew it on the morning of his hearing in October 2022. The Court of Appeal was told on that occasion that there was no appeal against Boy B's sentence.

One day, just not any day in the immediate future, Elliott insists. “I’m lucky to be in the same league as him, I think I’ve been second 13 times to him. “He’s a great horse; he's won two Grade Ones already this season. He's in both races at the DRF, the two-miler and over two-five, I’m under no pressure and we’ll leave the decision late,” Elliott says. “I’m not saying he’s not going to go, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he goes for a maiden hurdle on the Monday or Tuesday after Leopardstown,” Elliott says.

Clayton McMillan won’t be turning his nose up at Challenge Cup rugby when April swings around with the Munster head coach declaring that the province’s rich heritage gives them no right to expect any higher ground. “There is nobody in this building that is happy about receiving the consolation prize of having to go and play in the Challenge Cup but we also understand that, though we have a rich history in the Champions Cup, that history doesn't give us a rite of passage. But there's a long way to go.”McMillan’s appearance at the week’s first media engagement was a good sign. The 51-year old was honest in stating that the dressing-room he entered after the Castres game contained “as much disappointment as I’ve seen in a changing-room, no matter what environment I’ve been in”. Munster's Tadhg Beirne stands dejected after the Investec Champions Cup loss to Castres in Limerick last Saturday.

But we'd hope to see Paudie before the league is out,” O’Connor remarked. “He's been an All-Star for the last two years and he's one of the more experienced fellas now at this stage.

A Dublin mother was told to apply for a place in schools in Kildare and Wicklow for her autistic daughter despite living just yards from a local school. The daughter of Áine Curtin, from West Dublin, is due to begin secondary school later this year, but has been told that there is no space in the additional needs unit of the local school. She has been told that her daughter may need to travel to other counties in order to secure a school place. Ms Curtin experienced a similar situation when her daughter was in primary school. That taskforce’s recommendations are being examined, minister of state for special education Michael Moynihan told the Dáil before Christmas.

These mechanisms, however, remain largely untested in Irish circumstances and should not be assumed to substitute for national defence capability. Debate in Ireland has increasingly focused on outsourcing air and maritime functions, while land defence rarely features. Outsourcing works best, and only, when it is part of shared defence, not a replacement for sovereign capability. It requires a credible defence posture appropriate to its assessed risks. But outsourcing defence as a substitute for national capability carries immediate strategic costs.

Russia’s Orthodox Church warns exorcism attempts should be left to members of the clergy. The most influential modern exorcist in Russia was Father German, a priest who began practising near Moscow in the 1980s. ‘Exorcism tourism’The renewed interest in exorcism within Russia may represent a broader cultural response to political and personal instability — echoing the turbulence of the 1980s. The itinerary includes a consultation and private conversation with well-known “media exorcist” Father Gusev, as well as an application for an exorcism. In a country unsettled by war, uncertainty and spiritual volatility, Russia’s exorcism economy looks to be advancing.

That’s exactly what happened when I pushed myself outside my comfort zone and attended the Wander Wild Festival in Killarney last April.
