The owners of The Viaduct bar and restaurant have called time on their involvement, putting the well-known property on the market, with offers sought in excess of €1.6m. The Viaduct, on the N27, in the shadows of the landmark Chetwynd Viaduct, with a strong passing trade, will continue to trade throughout the sales process. The decision to sell the property is on foot of a decision by Cliste Hospitality to focus on expanding its hotel portfolio and hotel management platform. The property is currently laid out as a modern and spacious cafe, bistro, restaurant, and bar, and there’s also a two-bedroom staff apartment. The turn-key premises, which will be available with vacant possession on sale completion, dates to the 1990s and is an established hospitality venue.
Humanity “needs to wake up” to the potentially catastrophic risks posed by powerful AI systems in the years to come, according to Anthropic boss Dario Amodei, whose company is among those pushing the frontiers of the technology. The essay marked a stark warning from one of the most powerful entrepreneurs in the AI industry that safeguards around AI are inadequate. Trump signed an executive order last month to hamper state-level efforts to regulate AI companies, and published an AI action plan last year laying out plans to accelerate US innovation. In the essay, Amodei warned of sweeping job losses and a “concentration of economic power” and wealth in Silicon Valley as a result of AI. Amodei was an early employee at OpenAI but left to cofound Anthropic in 2020 after clashing with Sam Altman over OpenAI’s direction and AI guardrails.
By Gráinne Ní Aodha, Press AssociationTwo thirds of people believe that tipping in Ireland is becoming less voluntary, and 75 per cent have said they would like it to be easier to opt out, according to a survey. The research was carried out among a nationally representative online survey of 1,048 consumers by Ipsos B&A in October 2025 on behalf of Ireland’s competition regulator. It found that 8 per cent of consumers tipped mistakenly on a tipping terminal, which they have estimated could mean almost €500,000 has been mistakenly paid on these terminals. Three quarters of these consumers paid the unexpected charge, with half saying the experience was at least moderately stressful. It has published advice to employers about tipping in Ireland and said it would assess whether changes or updates to legislation is required.

The results revealed distinct differences between the effects of chia flour and chia oil on satiety and inflammatory markers.
