In the first instance, an as-yet unidentified party is understood to have entered into exclusive talks on the potential €53 million purchase of a portfolio of three warehouses being developed by Jordanstown Properties at Greenogue Logistics Park at Rathcoole in southwest Dublin. Upon completion, blocks D, E and F will extend to 62,000sq ft, 72,000sq ft and 111,000 sq ft respectively, or a combined footprint of 245,000sq ft. Developed by Palm Logistics, an affiliate of UK-headquartered Palm Capital and its local partner, Jordanstown Properties, Greenogue Logistics Park is well located within a two-minute drive of junction 4 of the M7/N7 and just seven minutes to the M50 (junction 9). News of the two deals comes amid a flurry of activity in the Dublin logistics market, with competition for both vacant and tenanted properties proving to be intense. The scheme comprises some 1.46 million sq ft of warehouse and office space and is set on a 195-acre site.

Back then you wandered around the house bare of foot, skipping across freezing kitchen lino – ah, lino – stubbing your toes on hard edges and corners. But when I saw the slippers I immediately realised I was missing out on an essential part of my pandemic uniform. When I got home, I told my children about my new handsome friend and showed them his Instagram profile and they accused me of cheating. There were no fancy supermarkets back in my barefoot lino days. Anyway, some important news: On Sundays, one of the fancy supermarkets, the British one, sells everything nearly out of date off cheaply, the little yellow stickers wink at me as I go for my weekly visit.

ROBIN'S DREAM holds strong claims in the Watch On Racing TV Novices' Hurdle at Wincanton (1.30). Gary Moore's five-year-old has shaped well in three starts so far – and looks to open his account at the Somerset venue. In touch when falling at Sandown since, this contest gives him an excellent chance of a first win over hurdles. CAPTAIN BUCK'S appears to have the strongest chance out of Harry Cobden's Musselburgh book of rides, in the Williamhill.com Best Odds Guaranteed Open Hunters' Chase (4.35). However, a back-to-form LOOKING WELL has the talent to see off his mount Alcala in the William Hill Scratch Of The Day Open Hunters' Chase (3.35).

A cookbook author has shared the biggest mistakes home cooks make when preparing pasta - including breaking spaghetti so it fits in a pot of water and adding oil to the cooking water. Italian-Australian TV cook and food writer Silvia Colloca revealed her golden rules for cooking the perfect pasta dish every time. While many assume adding oil to the cooking water helps prevent pasta from sticking together, Silvia said the method actually does nothing. Silvia added: 'As a rule of thumb, al dente means cooking pasta for a minute or two less than you would instinctively think. 'The perfect pasta starts with the pasta.

Photo: Colin Keegan, Collins DublinThe editorial in yesterday’s Irish Independent in fact tells us much about the ethos of Irish politicians, past and present, when it comes to serving the nation. In 1936, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed Joe Kennedy to rewrite the rules of the US Stock Exchange. Seeing as the Bank of Ireland is breaking up with us, can we have our money back? Or is it truly a game of monopoly, where the banker always wins and the customers don’t pass go and don’t collect their money? The politicians employ circumlocution, the classic roundabout way of using up valuable time without giving a direct answer.

Johann van Graan believes Joey Carbery will get back to his best following his return from a long-term ankle injury, but the Munster head coach warned that people must continue to be patient with the Ireland out-half. The 25-year-old showed no ill-effects of his first game back after 13 months on the sidelines, and while Van Graan is confident that Carbery will hit top form again, he urged caution over expecting too much. “In terms of getting to his best, all evidence at this stage suggests that, yes he can,” Van Graan said. Meanwhile, Leinster and Ireland captain Johnny Sexton (35) has signed a one-year contract extension with the IRFU, which runs until the end of the 2021/2022 season. “My appetite for success is the same as it ever was and the ambitions of both the Ireland and Leinster squads match my own,” Sexton said.
