US considers asking court to break up Google amid competition case
Competition enforcers wrote in the court papers: “For more than a decade, Google has controlled the most popular distribution channels, leaving rivals with little to no incentive to compete for users. Prosecutors also seem to centre on Google’s default search agreements in the papers and said any remedy proposals would seek to limit or ban these deals. Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google’s vice president of regulatory affairs, said in response to the filing that the Department of Justice was “already signalling requests that go far beyond the specific legal issues” in this case. He has outlined a timeline for a trial on the proposed remedies next spring and plans to issue a decision by August 2025. Google has already said it plans to appeal Judge Mehta’s ruling, but the tech giant must wait until he finalises a remedy before doing so.

Increased demand for water leads to appeal to Carrick customers to conserve supplies
An increase in demand for water in the Carrick-on-Shannon area has led to Uisce Éireann, this afternoon, appealing to customers in the Carrick-on-Shannon area to conserve water. Following an increase in water usage by households and businesses supplied by Carrick-on-Shannon Water Treatment Plant, customers are being asked to be mindful of their usage, allow supply to catch up with demand and enable reservoirs to fully replenish. High usage can lead to pressure reductions which can impact the supply to customers, the company said. Speaking about conserving water, Uisce Éireann’s Peadar Griffin said: “There has been a noticeable increase in water demand across the South Leitrim areas in recent weeks. We are appealing to customers in these areas to conserve water to give the reservoirs time to replenish.

Ireland 'should be first in the world to ban fossil fuel-related adverts'
Ireland should become the first country in the world to ban fossil fuel-related adverts as a “bold step for climate action but also a significant move for public health”, an Oireachtas committee has heard. “Fossil fuel advertising should go the same way as cigarette adverts given the impact on human health. But, citing the smoking ban, she said Ireland was a global forerunner in that battle and could take similar decisions again. She said some in the audience feel that climate change is “nothing to do with them” and is “someone else’s problem”. Ms McCarthy said this is a huge challenge for RTÉ, given its efforts to embed climate and environment coverage in its reporting.
