Storm Chandra: Had January's storm happened a week later, during a full moon, the spring high tide would have led to a 46cm higher water level. Storm Chandra had some unique characteristics as winds came from the east and southeast rather than the west. Although Chandra coincided with high tide, the tide was a “neap” tide (which occurs when the moon is neither full nor new). All affected communities need to be involved in developing plans that will allow them to live safely. Some communities in high-risk coastal areas may need to consider relocation options.

Like one of my Uncle Tony’s homing pigeons, I often find myself wandering back to Sandymount. There was a time when I would have thrown all my babysitting money on the greyhound in the red jacket. Embrace it, there’s plenty to enjoy and appreciate about itOpens in new window ]When I’m back there, Sandymount still feels like home. I’m not sure a family like ours, a widowed single mother with eight children on benefits, could live there any more. I felt at home on the pages of The Irish Times Magazine for the better part of 15 years.

Luis Enrique has flourished at Paris Saint-Germain, guiding the club to their maiden Champions League trophy last season. In April 2023, just before the PSG manager took over at the Parc des Princes, The Coaches' Voice examined Luis Enrique's favoured formations and strategies. Luis Enrique preferred a degree of composure at the back with Spain, deploying Rodri as a centre-back during the 2022 World Cup. There are parallels with Alvaro Morata's role under Luis Enrique with Spain but his nearest equivalent in PSG's squad - Goncalo Ramos - has mostly been used from the bench. Luis Enrique made use of the back three against opposition who would allow PSG plenty of the ball.

His Munster party only returned from their two-match southern hemisphere expedition on Monday afternoon. Two quick training sessions later and they were off again, to Exeter, where the Chiefs lie in wait at Sandy Park in an early Saturday kickoff. Read More O’Brien targeting run to Bilbao ahead of Exeter reunion“If you have a good look at the squad, it's a fresh one,” said the head coach. Jack Crowley and Craig Casey showed how integral they are to the team again in Loftus Versfeld, but Munster need a solid effort from the supporting cast. McMillan could survey all those and more this week and, Ulster aside, make some allowances for aspects of the displays or scorelines.

Planning permission has been granted to alter and extend a local church in South Roscommon. The green light for the development was given by Roscommon County Council subject to ten conditions. The council gave approval to the Romanian Orthodox Church in Ireland to carry out alterations and erect an extension to a chapel at the Orthodox Monastery of the Life-Giving Spring, at Raghrabeg, Shannonbridge. The development will also see the installation of a secondary waste water treatment unit at the location. The application was made in September of last year, with the local authority seeking further information.

Finance minister Simon Harris held the first annual Savings and Investment Forum earlier this week to seek opinions from stakeholders on his plans for a new personal investment account. What is Simon Harris proposing? As finance minister, Mr Harris has said he is concerned about the €170bn sitting on deposit in Irish bank accounts. However, the difference between the Government-backed accounts and the traditional savings accounts is that a different tax regime would be applied. According to Simon Harris, the main attraction of the account is that it will make investing easier.

There's a picture halfway up the stairs in the Parnell Park pavilion of the Dublin squad that won the 2013 Leinster SHC. "I'm not privy to those reasons," said Ó Ceallacháin of why previous managers largely overlooked the St Vincent's man. "He's done a lot in the last year or two as regards making sure he's where he needs to be from a conditioning perspective," said Ó Ceallacháin. Maybe Hedgo was simply pigeon-holed as a target man with little more to offer before Ó Ceallacháin's arrival for the 2025 season. "You see a few of those players around the place, who have that physical threat inside," said Ó Ceallacháin.

I recently read an article published by King’s College London which found that 54pc of Irish respondents to a European survey believe that women are “naturally better” at childcare than men. I wasn’t surprised by this. It has always been assumed that women are more nurturing than men.
