On Monday evening, a plenary meeting of the council was cut short after Príomh Chomhairleoir Catherine Slattery demanded an apology from the mayor, John Moran, regarding an alleged comment he made “off mic”. “It's sad that when we try and announce good news like this for Limerick that the story becomes something else,” Mr Moran said. “ I don't think we ever criticise any councillor for looking for funding for the area in which they live,” Mr Moran said.

Sir, – Political reform is always a worthwhile discussion – there are always things our system could do better. The question of the appropriate number of TDs in our country’s parliament (Editorials, March 25th) is a worthy one. But there are trade-offs and political reform cannot happen piecemeal. Constitutional reforms of our political system shouldn’t be viewed in isolation, but as part of an interconnected and interdependent system. Questions of political reform themselves are rare in our public debate, unlike, for example, the questions of inclusive voting franchise in the United States.

The average cost for car insurance is now €655 but the average cost to the insurance company on claims is just €310 – lower than what it was a year ago, Mr Doherty said.

In hers, Elizabeth is seen wearing a white t-shirt and white tennis skirt with a green-and-white scarf at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens. The major difference, of course, is that it's Blake's face and not Elizabeth's appearing in this week's social media post. While the post is geolocated at the Miami Open, the picture's background appears to be the US Open in Queens. 'She geotagged MIAMI as if she's at the Miami Open,' Elizabeth wrote, adding that her pic was 'taken at the US open two years ago.' 'Just want to know what was the reason, has social media got into our heads that much that we are completely disregarding couth?'

As costs rise, demand increases, and long-standing underinvestment becomes impossible to ignore, the question confronting policymakers is becoming more urgent: how can Ireland sustain its success and ensure the education system remains fit for purpose for the next generation? These investments have delivered important services but have also increased significantly the cost of running the education system. Ireland’s education system has demonstrated resilience, innovation, and exceptional efficiency.

Independent TD for Offaly, Deputy Carol NolanHSE delays in filling vital therapy posts "completely unacceptable"Independent TD for Offaly Carol Nolan has branded further delays by the HSE in filling vacant therapy posts across the midlands region as "completely unacceptable. In a response to a representation from the Offaly TD, the HSE confirmed that despite a child being accepted for Dietitian and Occupational Therapy services at a Primary Care Referral meeting in December 2023, no appointment or timeline for therapy can yet be provided to the family. "Offaly and the midlands region has been given the posts, yet the HSE cannot get clinicians into them in a reasonable timeframe. Children cannot wait indefinitely while the HSE struggles to staff services that have already been approved” she said. The Independent deputy has called on the HSE and the Minister for Health to treat the immediate filling of these therapy posts as "an urgent priority" and said interim measures must also be put in place to support affected families in the meantime.

Sales of 'forgotten cuts' of meat have soared in the UK, as Brits embrace 'nose–to–tail eating'. 'Offal may not be "cool" but it's gloriously tasty...' said @krumpli2015 while sharing a recipe for devilled kidneys on toast. Compared to this time last year, sales for lamb liver have spiked by 33 per cent, lamb kidneys by 25 per cent, lamb hearts by 91 per cent, and beef rump heart steak by 88 per cent. Liver, heart, tongue, and kidneys should become staples for Brits if we want to save the planet. 'Lamb heart, liver, and kidneys are great natural sources of Vitamin B12, iron, and various other micronutrients, which provide energy and support immune systems,' explained Emer Lowry, a nutritionist at Waitrose.
