‌Cleverley saw his side come from behind twice, with Reading getting both of their goals in the opening 18 minutes, to pick up what he thought was 'a well-deserved point'. ‌There was a frantic start to the match between two in-form teams and Cleverley was impressed with the way Leam Richardson's Reading went about their business.

Sir, - An intensified and illegal US economic blockade, preventing oil and other essential products from reaching Cuba, has created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis for 10 million people on the Caribbean island. While a US blockade of Cuba has been in place for 64 years, the most recent restrictions on oil imports have resulted in daily electricity blackouts, food shortages and the closure of hospitals, schools and workplaces. The blockade, which is in breach of international law, follows the illegal abduction of Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro and his wife, in Caracas earlier this year and their detention in the US. This followed the interception by the US of vessels carrying oil from Venezuela, including to Cuba. It must call on the US administration to immediately lift the illegal blockade of Cuba and provide the supplies of fuel, food and medical aid required to alleviate the suffering of its people.

Jon Daly says bottom side Waterford will benefit from the experience of recruit Kevin Long after admitting they got ‘battered’ in Friday’s 5-0 humbling at Dundalk. Long made 50 appearances in the Major League Soccer but hasn’t played since September when a hamstring injury curtailed his season. Waterford travel to Galway, where Daly was assistant last season, before hosting in-form St Patrick’s Athletic at the RSC on Friday. We’re shouting from the sideline but ultimately the people closer to him need to tell him. “Against Dundalk, we could have played until Christmas and wouldn’t have scored.”

But it also included the former Quinn Insurance business that Liberty had snapped up out of administration in 2011 and failed to do much with. It is believed that the underbidder, Intact Insurance Ireland, previously known as RSA Ireland, came in well below Zurich’s offer. The absence of open-access industry data places the onus on individual firms’ own models – and the quality of those models is limited by their own scale. Having made it to the final two bidders vying for RedClick, Intact Ireland is clearly signalling its interest in regaining market share. It has languished in sixth position in recent years, with a 7.6 per cent market share in 2024.

Under the criminal legal aid system, a solicitor is paid €239.38 for a first appearance per accused and €59.86 for each subsequent appearance. [ Department’s separate legal aid payments practice seems to lack ‘legal basis’, says judgeOpens in new window ]Along with many solicitors, Collier favours reform of the criminal legal aid system, noting it dates back more than 40 years. Amanda Connolly says the ‘one flat fee’ legal aid plan will result in 'a yellowpack, plead out, next case' approach. In relation to the department’s concerns some lawyers are abusing the criminal legal aid system, particularly regarding claims under multiple legal aid certificates, Connolly says: “No one is standing over abuses. The proposal represents a “unilateral” cut to criminal legal aid and would break the commitment in the Programme for Government to “fully restore” criminal legal aid payments, cut in 2009 under emergency legislation, the representative body for solicitors says.
