Earlier this week, Fine Gael issued a press release about a plan for something called an American President’s Trail. 🇮🇪🇺🇸 Ireland and the United States share a unique bond. That’s why @EdwardTimmins_1 wants to create an American Presidents Trail, where all 23 presidents with roots in Ireland will be celebrated in the relevant counties. In 1970, the year after he was elected president, Nixon made an official visit to Ireland. Are American tourists really going to want to visit a Richard Nixon interpretive centre just outside Naas, let alone a William McKinley homeplace in Conagher, Co Antrim?

The British pair were awarded first place on Friday evening, in the bp pulse LIVE arena, by judge Adrian Hili, from Malta. This is the first time UK has won this competition since 1995 when Tamara Dawson won for the UK. She began showing dogs at the age of eight after attending a ringcraft class with her family’s Golden Retriever, where she quickly caught the bug for dog showing. At home she has a Brittany, Portuguese Water Dog, German Spitz (Klein) and a Golden Retriever, and she also co-owns several others including an English Springer Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, Portuguese Water Dogs and a Standard Poodle. Congratulations to all the competitors who reached this stage, with special celebrations for Megan on securing the top spot.

A media expert has revealed the reason advertisers were pulling away from The Kyle & Jackie O Show long before the radio show sensationally collapsed this week. Jackie 'O' Henderson had her contract terminated and Kyle Sandilands is currently on a two-week suspension after the pair got into a fight on the air. Jennie Hill, the founder of the group, told The Australian the group was 'very pleased' to hear The Kyle & Jackie O Show had been pulled from the air amid the conflict between Henderson, 51, and Sandilands. 'Someone like Kyle Sandilands isn't fit to broadcast... We do want to make it clear that we don't necessarily want Kyle sacked,' she said. It comes as Henderson has broken her silence after the collapse of The Kyle & Jackie O Show this week.

George Russell planted himself emphatically on pole at the Australian Grand Prix, confirming his position as favourite for the world championship. Isack Hadjar, on his Red Bull debut, was an impressive third – though a giant eight-tenths back from Russell. But, no matter what Verstappen might have achieved, it is clear that Mercedes hold a royal flush after four years as ‘jokers’. His team rebuilt his car at speed and the 19-year-old Italian was resilient in bouncing back, however distant he was from Russell. After his accident, the Dutchman raged over the radio: ‘The car just f****** locked up on the rear axles.

George Russell wants to ‘make hay’ after dominating Australian GP qualifyingBy Philip Duncan, Press Association F1 Correspondent, MelbourneGeorge Russell vowed to “make hay while the sun shines” after he blitzed his world championship rivals to take a crushing pole position for Sunday’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix. And Russell delivered in his flying Silver Arrows with an impressive lap of the Albert Park circuit which was nearly three tenths faster than team-mate Kimi Antonelli. “We thought as a team we had a really good package beneath us, but we didn’t quite think it was that good,” said Russell. We have a really great engine, but we also have a great car, too, and that hasn’t been highlighted enough. Russell will not have the nerve-jangling prospect of Verstappen in his rear mirrors to contend with following the four-time world champion’s crash.
