There would be a limit at the same stage in proceedings of about €53,350 for complex cases and €65,800 for very complex cases. Such moves would apply to High Court cases taken under the Aarhus Convention, an international agreement that governs access to justice in environmental matters. Under the accelerating infrastructure plan, Government departments are to investigate and implement reforms to the judicial review regime. There is also to be consideration of the appropriateness of legal fee structures, including those cases taken on a “no foal no fee” basis by lawyers, where litigants incur no fees if they lose. At the weekend, Fine Gael TD Colm Burke raised concern at a recent increase in the number of judicial review cases against planning authority An Coimisiún Pleanála, previously known as An Bord Pleanála.

Gardaí have appealed for witnesses after a fatal crash in Co Wexford. Photograph: Bryan O’BrienA motorcyclist aged in his 30s has died in a single-vehicle crash in Co Wexford. The road was closed on Monday morning pending technical examination by gardaí, and diversions were put in place. Gardaí have appealed for any witnesses, particularly road users who may have camera footage and were travelling in the area between 6am and 6.30am. Anyone with information can contact Wexford Garda station on (053) 916 5200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any station.

The proposed removal of the name Herzog is an unalloyed broadside by a body of the Irish establishment against the Jewish community in Ireland, dictating which Irish Jews are acceptable to the contemporary Irish polity and people. The message to Jews is clear: we wish to erase you and your history. Will we be banned from using the park or just from sitting on its benches? This motion brought before Dublin City Council represents nothing more than performative protest, the antithesis of what is needed today in Ireland: consultation, dialogue and empathy. This kind of reckless discrimination pushes a wedge even further between the Jewish community and wider society.

DHL Stormers' Leolin Zas and Andre Smith celebrate victory over Munster in the United Rugby Championship, at Thomond Park, Limerick, on Saturday. Photograph: Ben Brady/InphoAttention turns to Europe this week as Leinster and Munster embrace Champions Cup fixtures against English opposition. At the same time, Connacht and Ulster take on their respective opening fixtures in the Challenge Cup. Penny’s shoulder collided with the head of Dragons forward Levi Douglas while making a tackle in the 75th minute. Ulster recovered from a 13-12 half-time deficit to romp home and Murphy paid tribute to his coaching team.

My partner Marty and I both lie under it every morning before we start writing, in part for health and in part to convince me it was worth every cent and ounce of guilt. What purchase have you made that you consider the best value for money? Is there anything you regret spending money on? I am very lucky to love what I do, so I plan on writing for as long as I can. I stepped away from a lucrative career to start writing.

[ Daily Mail owner strikes £500m deal to buy TelegraphOpens in new window ]The Liberal Democrats culture spokesperson Anna Sabine also warned that allowing the deal would create a “deeply concerning precedent”. The Daily Telegraph and its Sunday sister paper have long been seen as the house papers of the Tory party, but increasingly in recent years they have shifted further to the right, sometimes surpassing even the Daily Mail in their radical populist slants. Staff at the Telegraph titles and Spectator were vehemently opposed to being taken over by a group linked to a Middle Eastern state with no freedom of the press. In the meantime, the future of the Telegraph titles remained up in the air. [ Daily Mail seeks final say in tortuous Telegraph saleOpens in new window ]

After class finishes at 9pm, Ms McHale says she has “always wanted to learn Irish”. Heidi Kavanagh (left) and Anita Byrne are among a group of adult students learning Irish at Conradh na Gaeilge. There has been a “huge demand” in recent months for classes at Conradh na Gaeilge, according to Eimear Nic Mhuiris, who co-ordinates and organises the adult evening classes. Ms Kennedy, who started Irish classes three years ago after moving back to Ireland from London, where she lived and worked for more than three decades, is now enrolled in more advanced classes. She felt it was important to learn Irish “in terms of looking to the future and saving it”, she says.

Starting salaries for consultants at the Big Four – Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC – which tend to be lower, have stagnated, showing no increase since 2022. Top consultancies have frozen starting salaries for the third consecutive year as artificial intelligence starts to reshape the industry, forcing firms to reconsider their traditional “pyramid” structure. “AI disruption is more real in professional services and technology than in the rest of the economy,” he said. The rethink was common to many consulting firms, Mian at Management Consulted said. Some former Big Four partners are founding AI-native boutiques that they say will use the technology to replace much of the traditional junior cohort.

On a clear day you can see the northern coast of Morocco from the south of Spain, as I did earlier this summer from Marbella. That was the closest I had ever been to Morocco until I took one of Ryanair’s newer flights from Dublin to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Bizarrely, this incredible building is not yet open to the public, although it was completed in 2021. Morocco is justly famous for its beautiful textiles, and I am particularly drawn to Berber rugs, woven by the Berber people in north Africa. (My suitcase ends up weighing 17kg, so it’s possible to go to Morocco for a few days and bring back your own rugs, instead of shipping them.)

Relief efforts for tens of thousands of displaced people are continuing over the weekend in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. There were 435 dead in Indonesia, 170 in Thailand, and three deaths reported in Malaysia. More than four million people have been affected – nearly three million in southern Thailand and 1.1 million in western Indonesia, according to official statistics. There have been reports of people looting supply lines as they grow desperate for relief in other areas, officials said on Saturday. Meteorological authorities lifted tropical storm and continuous rain warnings on Saturday, forecasting clear skies for most of the country.

Severe weather across parts of Asia has claimed nearly 1,000 lives, with Indonesia and Sri Lanka among the worst affected by heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides. Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand have also received significantly above-normal rains in the past week, according to data from the US Climate Prediction Centre. In Sri Lanka, fatalities from heavy flooding rose sharply on Sunday, almost doubling to 334 dead and another 370 missing. The storm’s passage has left Sri Lanka facing its “largest and most challenging natural disaster,” president Anura Kumara Dissanayake said in a national address Sunday night. It will likely bring more rains to central and northern-central Vietnam, which have already been pounded by storms and historic floods.

While the London government was well aware that this was happening, it chose to leave Northern Ireland to run its own affairs. Throughout its period of direct rule, the UK government avoided making any major economic and social changes to the way Northern Ireland was run. The North’s education system constitutes one of its most serious policy failures, negatively affecting its social and economic wellbeing, and incomes. While the North was ahead of the South in introducing free secondary education in 1947, its education system now lags far behind the Republic’s. If unification is to happen, the North must first deal with the serious economic and social failings that are under its control.

Photograph: Andrew Paton/InphoUlster SFC semi-final: Scotstown (Monaghan) 2-20 Newbridge (Derry) 2-20 (aet) – Scotstown win 4-2 on penaltiesDavid McCague struggled to put words on Scotstown’s epic Ulster club SFC semi-final win immediately after the penalty shoot-out triumph over Derry champions Newbridge at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday evening. Rory Beggan, Jack McCarron, Kieran Hughes and Darren Hughes scored all four of the penalties that Scotstown took while Newbridge could only convert two of theirs. Scotstown goalkeeper Rory Beggan saves a penalty during the shoot-out. McAteer later fisted over the leveller at the end of extra-time to tie it up at 2-20 to 2-20, necessitating penalties.
