The EU's Life funding had helped bring the corncrake back from the brink of extinction, the Oireachtas Committee on the Environment heard. Photograph: NPWSThe proposed closure of a long-standing European Union nature programme will have a “deeply regressive” impact on efforts to protect endangered species and habitats in Ireland, an Oireachtas committee has said. Since 1992, Ireland has secured funding for more than 100 Life projects with total investment exceeding €200 million. “It’s incredibly disheartening that the commission is proposing to take away the EU’s only dedicated environmental funding instrument,” added O’Sullivan. “Our fear is that nature projects could end up competing with infrastructure projects, or defence and security spending, or digital spending.

Photo: Chris Hyde/Getty ImagesA few weeks before he was called into Joe Schmidt’s January Wallabies’ two-day training camp, 22-year-old Australian tighthead Massimo De Lutiis, long-touted as an international star, detailed his quietly determined optimism to shed recent injury travails and take a giant leap forward in 2026. “I really want to get a Wallabies cap this year,” he told anticipating Aussie supporters less than two years out from their home World Cup. Whether that happens or not, it’s not really in my control. I can only put my best foot forward.”

When Donald Trump says in relation to Iran that “we’ll just keep bombing our little hearts out”, he gives voice to the murderous puerility of his war. As with a kid pulling the wings off flies, this brutality is its own purpose. And in this it is the logical conclusion of a process of ultraviolent futility that has been under way since the second World War. In his definitive The Bombing War: Europe, 1939-1945, Richard Overy says that “the bombing offensives in the second World War were all relative failures in their own terms. The horrific failure of mass bombing in the second World War has been repeated again and again.

When he was serving in Corbally, he organised a dawn Mass at Athlunkard Boat Club.

Video: Trump tells allies 'fight for yourselves' as he signals Hormuz retreat sparking Wall Street frenzyThe US unleashed devastating air strikes on an ammunition depot believed to house Iran's enriched uranium as a massive oil tanker was struck by an Iranian drone near the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump posted video of the US strike in the city of Isfahan to his Truth Social page, showing the 2,000-pound bombs that set off a series of explosions in the night sky. The president did not provide any information about the enormous explosion with the video on his social media post. An American official confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that the video depicted the bunker buster strikes on Isfahan. The US strikes came after reports Trump was considering a military operation to send special operations forces deep inside Iran to seize its stockpile of enriched uranium at sites that include Isfahan.

Tuesday’s briefing: De Zerbi deal close and Tuchel plays down Arsenal withdrawalsBy Press Association Sport StaffRoberto De Zerbi is poised to take charge of Tottenham, Thomas Tuchel rejects suspicions over Arsenal withdrawals and Cardiff’s negligence claim against Nantes is dismissed. “They joined, had a medical assessment, wanted desperately to play, to just get the narrative straight,” he said ahead of Tuesday’s friendly against Japan. If it would have been maybe a last game of the season, we would have kept them and tried everything. Cardiff’s contention was that Nantes were responsible because the flight was organised by an agent, Willie McKay, enlisted by the French club. However, the tribunal of Nantes dismissed the claim on Monday, and ordered Cardiff to pay more than £400,000 to the French club.

The Irish inflation rate was expected to jump in March following the rise in energy costs, but the 3.6 per cent annual figure was higher than expectations. Energy prices rose more than 11 per cent in one month. As the war drags on, the likelihood of the rise in the inflation rate being some kind of temporary blip recedes, even if a surge similar to 2022 is not –yet – in prospect. A further surge in wholesale oil prices remains possible and if gas prices remain elevated there will be concerns about electricity costs too. The State remains too exposed to imported fossil fuels and realistically will continue to rely on gas for many years to come.

US president Donald Trump speaks to the media after departing Air Force One at Miami International Airport on Friday. What is clear is that all three will be much greater than predicted by US president Donald Trump. Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, has now appealed to Trump to end the conflict. Meanwhile, Australia’s prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has made his own appeal, asking for more certainty from Trump on his objectives. As oil prices continued to rocket, Trump blew hot and cold, leaving finance ministers with their heads in their hands.
