I'm making sure that that is a consistent thing, that they're able to keep pushing on with the game.

Manchester City have agreed a £600,000 compensation deal with Hearts for teenage midfielder Keir McMeekin. The deal could rise to £2million for the 16-year-old who has still to make his full debut for the Scottish Premiership title contenders. McMeekin was wanted by a string of top English clubs as he weighed up whether to sign his first professional contract at Tynecastle. Manchester United, Brighton and Liverpool all battled for the player's signature before he settled on City after they gave him and his family a tour of their training facilities. Though capped by Scotland at youth level, McMeekin is also on the radar of England and Northern Ireland as he continues to impress and qualifies for other countries owing to his grandparents.

Sir, – It is ironic that with so many large fund management companies operating out of Ireland that Irish savers’ opportunity for investment is severely restricted due to discriminatory tax legislation in particular with regard to Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). These funds provide the average saver the opportunity to spread their investment risk over a broad basket of equities and bonds. Any increased activity by savers in investing products if they became more accessible would also generate additional tax revenue. The 2026 pre-budget submission from Insurance Ireland last year called for equalising the taxation of financial products with similar objectives, effectively aligning the tax treatment of life assurance exit tax, capital gains tax and deposit interest retention tax (Dirt) (“Time for the Government to deliver a better deal for Irish savers,” Opinion, March 2nd). I’d be concerned that we will end up in a similar position once the State comes up with so-called investment initiatives.

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — European players chanted, “Two more years!” when they won the Ryder Cup in New York, and Luke Donald listened. At stake for Donald is a chance to become the first Ryder Cup captain with three straight victories. That prompted U.S. captain Keegan Bradley to say, “I think he’s the best European Ryder Cup captain of all time, Luke Donald.”The 2027 matches — the 100th anniversary of the Ryder Cup — will be at Adare Manor in Ireland. As a team, as Ryder Cup Europe, we all play for history,” the 48-year-old Donald said. The last one in 1989 was a tie, and Europe retained the Ryder Cup as the defending champion.

Hilary Duff has opened up on being compared to other female artists, such as Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter, declaring: 'I am older, and I was here first.' She explained: 'The internet is so fast to hear something one time and then be like, "Oh reheated Sabrina". Hilary then pointed out that songs often were inspired by music that came before, saying: 'It's very hard to be completely original anymore.' So sick of being so sad about how we don't talk and you won't talk about it.' When We Don't Talk was released, conjecture exploded that the target was Haylie, and Hilary has since confirmed: 'It's definitely about my sister,' on CBS Mornings.

Members can contribute their own experiences and viewsWhat does it mean to be of Ireland? It is an idea that gets placed within a single uniform vision, particularly as we approach St Patrick’s Day. Emigrants may wonder if the reasons they feel different in their adopted home is down to nationality. For many emigrants who left for economic reasons, Ireland is not a place that valued them or looked after them.

James Tarkowski and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall score in Everton home win over BurnleyBy Carl Markham, Press AssociationEverton won at home for the first time in three months to keep themselves in the hunt for European football with a 2-0 victory over struggling Burnley. Burnley remain eight points from safety with a return to the Championship looming but Everton still harbour hopes of sneaking into Europe next season as they moved to within three points of sixth-placed Chelsea. Improving their home form – this was only their fifth league win here – will strengthen their case, as will Tarkowski contributing more from set-pieces. Just past the half-hour the centre-back planted a header from James Garner’s deep free-kick to score from Everton’s first shot on target. Another Garner set-piece, this time swinging into the near post, was headed on by Jarrad Branthwaite but was kept out by Dubravka.

Inside bungled alleged plot to kill Donald Trump 'backed by Iran' and hatched in a strip clubSecretary of War Pete Hegseth claims the US killed the leader of a unit behind a plot to kill Trump. He did not name the target, the unit, or give any details about the plot. A week later, the court heard, Ali connected Merchant with two hitmen - who were really undercover FBI agents. The Brooklyn court last week heard agents took Merchant to a New York strip club, where they paid for "exotic dances" for him. The Iranian regime has long denied plotting to kill Trump.

Arne Slot agrees with Virgil van Dijk’s ‘slow and predictable’ Liverpool verdictBy Sunny Badwal, Press AssociationLiverpool boss Arne Slot understood defender Virgil van Dijk’s “slow and predictable” assessment after their shock 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Tuesday. Liverpool’s slow starts away from home have become a common theme this season, and they have now only scored three of their 22 away goals in the first half. After the match, Van Dijk told TNT Sports that the champions were “slow, predictable and sloppy”, and his boss did not disagree with him. Slot said: “So ‘slow’ or ‘predictable’ are words that I can understand [Van Dijk] uses. “Those are chances and the one we concede is not even a chance, and that is what has happened so many times to us this season,” Slot added.

The Formula One season begins in Melbourne on Sunday as Lando Norris bids to defend his world championship crown. Norris’ McLaren team boasted the grid’s quickest car for the past two years. However, team-mate Russell should have the beating of him over the course of a campaign. OSCAR PIASTRI (McLAREN)Led the championship for so long last season but struggled after the summer break and settled for third. Like team-mate Norris, the Australian, a seven-time race winner in 2025, will also struggle if McLaren are not competitive from the start of the year.
