Despite all this, the connection between the Offaly senior footballers and the general public in the county has clearly been broken. That does not, however, mean that there should be an obligation on people to come out and put their time, their energy and their money into following the county senior footballers regardless. In the next seven days alone, there are fixtures for the senior footballers and hurlers, the minor footballers and hurlers, the ladies footballers and the camógs. Right now, that’s not the case for the senior footballers, and it’s not because the men pulling on their boots are slacking.

Crew members are said to have had no option but to store the corpse at the back of the plane, which has a heated floor.

Wedges of plastic foam tumbling in the wind. Crematoriums in the UK send 14,670 cubic metres of floral foam and single-use plastic to landfill every year – that’s six Olympic-sized swimming pools, jammed with plastic, sent to the dump. Floral foam is lightweight and cheap, allowing florists to create perfect arrangements, held in plastic trays, secured with plastic tape and adorned with colourful plastic bows and ribbons. Plastic flowers don’t ask anything of us at all, not even water. Can we find a more nature-first way to rid our burial grounds of plastic?
