Air travel was once an opportunity to dress up, like a trip to the theatre. This was largely due to air travel being exclusive and expensive, reserved largely for the wealthy or for special occasions. But now, thanks to airlines offering cheaper and more accessible air travel, comfort and practicality have far overtaken fashion. And while people should be able to wear what they feel comfortable in - especially for a long-haul flight - some officials have urged passengers to 'bring civility' back to flying. 'Whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which maybe encourages us to maybe behave a little better.

URC: Ulster 28 Munster 3Munster succumbed to a second URC derby defeat inside a week as they failed to contain an in-form Ulster side on a snowy night at Affidea Stadium on Friday. A third try eight minutes from time from No.8 Bryn Ward sealed the win for head coach Richie Murphy. When the snow returned on 10 minutes Munster had to make further changes, flanker John Hodnett’s night ended by what looked like an arm or wrist injury. Gleeson, playing at No.8 with Alex Kendellen slotting into Hodnett’s openside flanker role, launched off the back of the scrum and a penalty soon accrued. Doak missed the conversion from wide out on the right but the damage had been done and Ulster had a commanding 21-3 lead heading into the final quarter.

The door has been "firmly closed" on increased worker sick days, the enterprise minister has said. Peter Burke told the Irish Examiner that any increase in paid sick leave from a statutory minimum of five days was off the table. "One of the things I really had a hard look at is business viability, and I really acted on evidence. I do think remote working was one of the opportunities taken out of the pandemic, and one of the greatest fears of many in the sectors was that productivity would fall significantly once remote working took hold. "We currently have open a consultation on remote working and different agile practices of working that we're looking at results of next year.

These wetlands function as natural water control systems, absorbing excess rainfall, slowing storm surge, and reducing the impact of flooding on surrounding communities. By spreading water across a broad landscape, swamps lower the pressure placed on levees, drainage canals, and man-made flood control systems. Natural flood control systems such as swamps provide adaptable protection that responds dynamically to changing conditions. Understanding how swamps function as flood control systems helps inform land-use decisions, restoration priorities, and community planning. Protecting and maintaining swamp systems contributes to safer communities and more stable water systems throughout the region.

Weak demand and price volatility highlight the need for electrification and flexibility.

Wholesale day-ahead electricity prices averaged €88/MWh in 2025 – below 2023 levels but slightly higher than in 2024. “Renewables are reducing Europe’s exposure to fossil fuel prices, but weak electricity demand risks slowing investments.
