Spare us politicians' quick fixes, says HAMISH MCRAE
Spare us: We need more competence and less ideology from politicians, Hamish McRae saysIt is ridiculous, if you think about it, that it should matter whether central banks should make two cuts or three in rates this year, or whether they should start in June or September. On the other hand, which politicians end up running the show does matter quite a lot. So a different government in the UK can fiddle with tax and spending, and bring in different regulations. It is the difficulty in getting inflation back on target that makes central banks hesitant to cut rates. That said, there are reasons to think the next three or four years will be modestly successful for the economy.

Anatomy of a fake story: How anti-immigration candidates spread false information to boost their profile
Sources in two schools in the city centre confirmed this is a regular occurrence and is not related to asylum seekers. Gardaí will often try to correct false information, such as the story about the children on the canal, he added. Nevertheless, a large group of protesters turned up outside the Celbridge Manor hotel, which was being used to accommodate asylum seekers. There is a general pattern to much of this false information. “In Telegram groups, the Irish far-right are very open about their desire to keep pushing anti-migrant and white supremacist narratives.

Great British Energy: What would Labour plan mean for your bills?
Households could see lower energy bills under Labour plans to set up a publicly-owned Great British Energy company if they get into power, the party has claimed. So how will Great British Energy work - and what will it mean for household bills? Labour plans to have 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2030, and Great British Energy is part of that promise. Starmer said Great British Energy was urgently needed to give the country more energy security, as well as for environmental reasons. Labour hopes that Great British Energy will mean lower energy bills - but has not committed to giving a set amount that households can save.

You could be missing out on £442 free supermarket vouchers
Families have been warned they could be missing out on the Healthy Start scheme. The NHS scheme offers support to families with young children and pregnant women who are on a low income and receiving qualifying benefits. It can be used to buy healthy food such as milk, infant formula, and fruit and vegetables. Despite the benefits, the Healthy Start scheme's current take-up rate is just 63.9%, which is below the government’s target of 75% for March 2023. “Supermarkets must ensure everyone has access to basic, affordable food ranges, especially in areas where they are most needed.”

Poll shock: Sinn Féin support plummets as Independents now most popular among voters
The Sunday Independent/Ireland Thinks opinion poll has recorded a massive seven point drop to 22pc in voter support for Sinn Féin in the last week of the local and European election campaign. This is a 15 point drop in Sinn Féin’s record high of support in October 2022 when the party commanded 37pc of voter support. Mary Lou McDonald’s party is now neck and neck with Taoiseach Simon Harris’s Fine Gael who are up three points to 22pc in the last month. However, the poll showed the most popular option for voters ahead of next week’s elections is Independent/others who have increased support by four points to 23pc. Despite their dramatic fall in support, Sinn Féin are expected to make gains in council seats as they took less than 10pc of the vote in 2019.

Bryan Sheehan says teams are now training 'athletes, not footballers'
Bryan Sheehan says teams are now training 'athletes, not footballers'Michael BoltonFormer Kerry footballer Bryan Sheehan has backed rumoured changes to scoring in football. Sheehan agreed with this idea, as he says it will encourage teams not to defend as deep, and will lead to players shooting from distance. At the moment, if I am being honest, we are training athletes to play football, rather than footballers to play football. "If you look at inter-county football, how many footballers can kick the ball over the bar from 35, 40 yards. "Teams are now beginning to score goals against Kerry, and the year they won the All-Ireland, teams weren't scoring goals against Kerry.

Letters to the editor: Reckless US foreign policy has caused misery for generations, and you can’t blame Trump for that
Donald Trump was convicted of all 34 felony counts in his hush-money trial. For decades, their massively irresponsible foreign policy has caused great unhappiness to millions of people, and not just one or two generations. Two old men are the insulting offerings from the combined war parties as “leader of the free world”. The US political system needs to be quarantined from the rest of the world (7.6 billion of us). Looking back, I often wonder if those days listening to the church bells informing us of the time were happier days all round.
