But he said there was a 30% chance that the front moves through northern France, bringing disruptive snow to southern counties in England, especially in higher areas. The most likely outcome is wind and rain in southern parts of the UK, with central England seeing the risk of disruption from snow, he added. Rain turning to snow will hit Scotland and northern England on Tuesday, with 1–5 cm likely in northern England and up to 10–15 cm in central and eastern Scotland, the Met Office said.

Not in 2026, however, as a lean budget day means savings are few and far between this January. But, if you have a big pension fund then you will benefit from the increase in the standard fund threshold (SFT) this January. The SFT represents the maximum size your pension fund can be before additional taxes kick in. So, this means that the tax you will save on will increase from €600 for 2024 to €800 in 2025 – and €1,000 for 2026. While no income tax increases were announced, the decision not to adjust the bands for inflation means that many of us will actually lose money this year.

Irish authorities are being urged to take action against X after reports its AI tool, Grok, is being used to generate and disseminate sexually explicit images of children and women.

Prison authorities have been directed to bring schoolteacher Enoch Burke to the central office of the High Court on Tuesday so he may, should he wish, initiate an action against a disciplinary appeals panel.

Enoch Burke has spent Christmas in prison for repeatedly breaching court orders. Burke has spent just under 600 days in prison on foot of contempt of court orders.

Almost €80,000 has been donated to help fund cancer care for a six-year-old boy whose suspected broken nose led to a cancer diagnosis. Last summer, Darragh Foley developed a bump on his nose that was first treated as a broken nose and re-set into position. But after bruising went down and the nose still looked broken, a doctor in Cork’s South Infirmary ordered an ultrasound and MRI which showed a mass on his nose. Three days after a biopsy was done, he was diagnosed with a soft tissue cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a very aggressive form of cancer that can be resistant to chemotherapy. “We have only been able to get to this point in treatment with amazing help from our friends and support from different charities.

Gary Neville insists the speed of Ruben Amorim’s departure from Manchester United came as a “shock” after the Portuguese was sacked on Monday morning. Amorim leaves with United positioned sixth in the Premier League, Sunday’s draw at Leeds coming five days after a dismal 1-1 home stalemate against basement club Wolves. Former United defender Neville told Sky Sports News: “When a manager is sacked, it’s a poor reflection on everybody. Former United midfielder Paul Scholes feels Amorim “talked himself into it” by questioning the club’s hierarchy. Scholes believes United should make an approach for England boss Thomas Tuchel after the World Cup to take up the Old Trafford hotseat.
