A couple featured on Escape To The Country broke down in tears upon visiting a dream home - and discovering that it broke a major show rule. In their house hunting, the couple had ideal specifications: Maryan desired a grand staircase, while both wanted a minimum of three bedrooms. They also wanted land with enough space for bicycle storage, as well as a workshop for their mountain biking enterprise. It came as Briony, 42, was helping couple Barry and Pauline find their dream home in the rural area of Hertfordshire. The camera then panned back on the couple and Pauline was very emotional as she looked out the window.

Cillian Murphy has opened up about his disdain for the celebrity lifestyle and his hatred for 'f***ing red carpets' at premieres and awards ceremonies. Speaking on the topic in the Sunday Times Culture magazine, Cillian said: 'Being a personality is not what I am good at. Another said: 'Cillian Murphy, the real winner of the idgaf war,' a third commented: 'I relate to him so hard.' A fourth tweeted: 'Cillian Murphy has the coldest, most nonchalant, bored to the bones kind of facial expressions I've ever seen in an actor lol.'

A mourner holds a picture of Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei at a memorial vigil in Tehran, a day after his death in joint US and Israeli strikes. The massive wave of US and Israeli attacks on Iran – and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – have sharpened the debate about Ireland’s place in the current geopolitical climate. A meeting of the EU’s lesser-spotted “special Security College” is arranged for today to discuss a response to events. Meanwhile, with Israeli strikes on Lebanon this morning, McEntee confirmed that Irish peacekeeping troops stationed nearby were safe and accounted for. The tumult will again drive discussion this week about Ireland’s place in global security.

The insertion of a two-week gap between the All-Ireland senior finals and the disbanding of pre-season competitions remain options on the table. Despite a motion which would have incorporated both being withdrawn at Congress on Saturday, they remain possibilities for 2027, but an August All-Ireland final is now considered a non-runner. The GAA leadership also appears keen to find an extra week in the current inter-county window to widen the gap between the All-Ireland finals to two. Burns acknowledged the concerns about the finer details of the initiative not being revealed but asked counties to “trust us”. After the All-Ireland senior hurling preliminary quarter-finals were disbanded with immediate effect, the Central Competitions Control Committee will decide where this year’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-finals between the second and third-placed teams in Leinster and Munster will take place.

The issue involves 76 National Ambulance Service (NAS) trained paramedics who qualified in January having, they said, received repeated assurances they would be employed on permanent contracts. On Friday, the union representing the majority of the country’s NAS paramedics, claimed the move “confirmed that management’s increasingly unilateral approach to industrial relations”. Sector organiser John McCamley said the offer to those affected of limited fixed-term contracts “with a view to their applying for permanent contracts at some point in the future” was a break with what had previously been “common practice”. “On February 6th, the HSE advised the trade unions of challenges in progressing Year 3 Paramedics to permanent posts under the current processes.

A goal was on the horizon as the Gunners mounted their attacks and looked unrelenting in pursuit of another goal. Overall, it was their 16th league goal from a corner. That equals the most by any side in a league season, alongside Oldham in 1992-93, West Brom in 2016-17, and the Gunners themselves in 2023-24. Liverpool, for example, scored the least number of goals from set pieces across the league from August to December (three). For the fourth consecutive league game, the Gunners leaked a goal having taken the lead.

A lot has changed in the last 26 years and Mantoy says supporting people with addiction is much more complex nowadays. Most people who sought help from Chrysalis last year were aged between 25 and 50, with most 30 and older. When people need help with behavioural addictions or mental health issues, the organisation refers them to more appropriate services. More than twice as many men sought help from Chrysalis last year – around 450, compared with just over 200 women. Now in his mid-40s, the Dublin man had been using a variety of drugs since he was a child.

Minneapolis and St Paul are metropolitan areas a stone’s throw from each other. Sean and Judy Clerkin represented the Minneapolis parade, while Peter Kenefick was there for St Paul. Although the ICE operation in the state has ended, many will not be returning home to Minnesota. The ICE operation may be over but, like the snow on the ground in Minneapolis, its lasting impacts will take time to thaw. Mr Barnwell emphasised the Irish community would be doing all it could to put a more positive spin on the place this St Patrick’s Day.

A barrage of continuing US and Israeli joint strikes were countered by retaliatory strikes from Iran across the Persian Gulf. The deaths of three US service members were also confirmed during what the Trump administration has named “Operation Epic Fury”. And Donald Trump has failed again at that.”US president Donald Trump indicated Iran has been targeted as it is developing artillery to be used against the US. It is tempered by Democratic criticism that the Trump administration again bypassed Congress in seeking approval for its decision. Senior figures in Congress have called for a quick vote on a war powers resolution to restrain Trump from further strikes on Iran.
