Soon Keith Andrews may start to get the credit he deserves. “The people that I work with and the way we make decisions for the good of the club on all fronts.

"There have been very healthy discussions from an ambitious group of staff and players around what we want to achieve in the next part of the season,” Andrews added yesterday.

Using the common painkiller paracetamol during pregnancy is not linked to neurodevelopmental disorders in children, according to a study published in the Lancet. The Lancet paper comes after the Trump administration linked the use of Kenvue Inc’s Tylenol (paracetamol) to autism in September and advised pregnant women to avoid the drug. The studies had to include detailed exposure to acetaminophen (paracetamol), validated medical records for the survey participants and medications the person took during or before pregnancy. [ The threat of medical misinformation Opens in new window ]The debate over Tylenol and autism has raged for years. Mr Kennedy said Mr Trump had directed him to find the root causes of many childhood diseases, including autism.

The people of County Roscommon are about to become more familiar with a country nestled in the heart of Central Europe, Slovenia. Each county has been “paired” with a specific Member State of the EU for the period of the presidency and County Roscommon has been paired with Slovenia. Leitrim has been paired with Cyprus, Longford with Hungary, Mayo with The Netherlands, Sligo with Lithuania and Westmeath with Sweden. The programme of visits by Ambassadors will commence in July, following the opening of Ireland’s EU Presidency term. In 1990, Slovenia established democracy for the first time since World War I. Slovenia had to face the wrath of the Yugoslavian military during its independence from Yugoslavia.

Michael Carrick hailed a superb start as Manchester United interim boss after a stunning derby victory over Manchester City on Saturday. The former United midfielder said: “It is a great start, there is no getting away from that. “Before the game, we coaches spoke and said the boys were in a good place. Carrick will now challenge his players to match those standards regularly, starting with next week’s trip to Premier League leaders Arsenal. I’ve come here many times and we were not at the required level to win this type of game.

It aims, with a budget of €177 million, to provide thousands of childcare places over the next four years. Childcare facilities will be focused in areas of disadvantage where private services sometimes do not locate because of families’ limited incomes. Some 157,500 homes have been built since 2020, but childcare places have not kept pace, she said. Ms Currie said local authority planning departments should be mandated and trained to “more effectively plan and deliver” large-scale childcare facilities.

Jack Fincham has claimed he 'can't afford rehab' and only has £20 to his name as he broke his silence on relapsing. The confession comes during a turbulent period for Jack, 34, who recently opened up about hitting rock bottom in a candid Instagram confession. Now, Jack has revealed he relapsed last year after a period of sobriety and desperately needs to go to rehab - however he doesn't qualify for it on the NHS and he can't afford to go private. Speaking to The Sun, Jack said: 'A few weeks before Christmas I started drinking heavily again, I need rehab but the Love Island millions have gone, I can't afford it.' Last year, the former Love Island winner decided to have a drink after a period of sobriety, but it 'spiralled'.

Lennon and Gene Gallagher were the spitting image of their father Liam as they posed up a storm at Milan Fashion Week on Friday. Oasis legend Liam Gallagher's sons looked ever so stylish as they wore matching ensembles at the Brunello Cucinelli Presentation. Lennon, 26, wore a heavy-duty oversized maroon leather jacket with a shearling collar, which he wore over a black turtleneck jumper. He cut a fashionable figure in a suede brown jacket and matched with his brother with the same white trousers. But while Liam wasn't present to watch the band, Gene was supported by older brother Lennon and his rarely seen cousin, Sonny - Noel Gallagher's son with ex-wife Sara MacDonald.

THE result won’t flush John Cleary’s face, nor as Jack O’Connor mentioned as gaeilge, deny him a wink of Saturday night sleep. Kerry’s home tie with Roscommon next Sunday is important for sure, but nowhere as crucial as Cork’s Division 2 opener at home to Cavan. And Cork boss Cleary wasn’t trying to dilute its significance either in Killarney. You don’t really find out until you get into the heat of battle against very good players, which Kerry have. Added O’Connor: That’s the nature in Kerry, there’s a long club season there and you have to give players time off after that.

Researchers say that some scarier breeds actually have the happiest looking faces, with German Shepherds and Rottweilers topping the list. This is because these more wolf-like dogs can use more facial muscles to create their expressions, and so appear happier to humans, experts said. The researcher then carefully analysed videos of 210 dogs, representing 29 popular breeds, and catalogued the movement of different muscles and muscle groups. Dr Maglieri says: 'Breeds such as Poodles, German Shepherds, Basset Hounds and Rottweilers tended to use a larger number of facial muscle movements during play. Meanwhile, the especially glum-looking Beagle could only use two muscle groups: The lower lip depressor and the mouth stretch.
