This is the moment a jealous husband casually asks police, 'How many years do you think I'll get' after stabbing his estranged wife to death. Businessman Gavin Shaw, 61, murdered Michele Kennedy, 55, after discovering she'd spent the weekend with a new lover who she'd met on holiday in Turkey. The court heard that Shaw and Ms Kennedy had been married for 12 years but separated last summer. Two workmen who saw Ms Kennedy on the floor stopped their van to try to help and dialled 999. Ms Higgins, who also heard Shaw shouting that Ms Kennedy was a 's**g', held Ms Kennedy's hand and tried to comfort her.

It will operate with staff from security firm Bidvest Noonan on a six-month trial basis, roving between city parks in an electric van. "All security staff have received specialised training and have established strong working relationships with our parks team,” they said. "Bidvest Noonan will work closely with our parks staff to respond to incidents in our parks as they arise. Bridgefoot Street Park, Mountjoy Square and Diamond Park were among the blackspots highlighted in the document, which detailed 130 drug, arson and other anti-social behaviour incidents across July and August of last year.

Experts from Zero Carbon Analytics for the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) have warned that extreme weather has pushed lamb prices up by between seven and 21 per cent. 'As families and communities sit down to celebrate this Easter, the cost of climate change is hitting home,' said Chris Jaccarini, land, food and farming analyst at the ECIU. 'With beef and dairy prices up after similar extreme weather impacts on production, it is clear that climate change now poses a major and worsening challenge for livestock farmers. They then combined this information with market data from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board to model the impact of extreme weather on farmgate prices. As for what this means for consumers, the researchers estimate that the wet winter of 2023/2024 added an extra £5 (17.5 per cent) to the price of lamb at Easter 2024, and £7 (21 per cent) to the price at Easter last year.

Blood pressure medications taken by millions of Britons may increase the risk of a dangerous drop in blood sodium, new research suggests. About three in 100 older women on thiazides developed dangerously low sodium levels, compared with just over one in 100 taking other blood pressure medications. They work by helping the body remove excess fluid and by widening blood vessels to lower blood pressure. Blood pressure can be checked at home or at many pharmacies, and is especially advised for adults aged 40 and over. This research highlights the importance of tailoring blood pressure treatment to individual patients, particularly older adults who may be at higher risk of side effects.

I am not a gym bunny, but when an email landed in my inbox, inviting me to form a team for a Hyrox-style fitness challenge to raise money for Irish cancer charities, I was intrigued. I pasted the workout into an AI chatbot and typed in my concern: How realistic was this challenge for someone starting from my fitness level, with just eight weeks to prepare? The five-week knee-push up and burpee plan the AI chatbot provided Nicole GlennonNow, it was time to knuckle down and do the hard part.

But I think, at the core of it, people want people, always will, always have.”An AI chatbot can never replace the accountability and community I’ve found in a physical studio.

The statements emerging from Tel Aviv in recent days are not couched in the coded language of security or deterrence. Statements of ‘deep concern’ ring hollow when they are not matched by meaningful consequences. For nearly half a century, Irish peacekeepers have served in Lebanon under the UN flag. But time, like the villages of southern Lebanon, may soon run out. Creeslough risks joining that grim lineage.

Half a century later, Nasa is preparing to return under its Artemis programme. The plan aimed for a long-term commitment to construct Space Station Freedom, return astronauts to the Moon “to stay”, and finally send humans to the red planet. Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesDuring the 1990s, the International Space Station (ISS) project cemented low-Earth orbit as the priority for human exploration. Moon programme limitsThis repeated cycle of cancelled space projects exposes some inherent limitations to the system for funding lunar exploration. A sustainable Moon programme needs strong multi-sector commitment, and mechanisms in place for guaranteed multi-decade funding.

Clayton McMillan has assured Munster supporters he will not be prevented from making overseas signings for next season despite voluntary redundancies being sought within his organisation. The first-season head coach outlined the current transfer policy as he signalled the end of Thaakir Abrahams’ stay with Munster beyond this season, admitting he wants to use the South African wing’s Non-Irish Qualified (NIQ) spot on a player in another position.
