Funerals in Limerick were recently delayed for several days due to limited pathology services, with locum pathologists from Hungary brought in to provide cover. In the week between Christmas and new year, a limited service was available in the mortuary at University Hospital Limerick. The disruption in Limerick coincided with similar difficulties in Waterford, where coroner-directed autopsies have been carried out by locum pathologists from the UK since early January. Consultant pathologists at University Hospital Waterford had confirmed that they would withdraw from conducting coroner-requested autopsies at the hospital morgue from January 1. “However, there is a severe shortage of pathologists to complete coronial autopsies in the Mid-West region and indeed across the country.

Weight-loss drug pioneer Novo Nordisk will invest €432 million in upgrading its Athlone plant to produce the tablet form of its Wegovy therapy. The tablet form of the weight-loss drug is now seen as Novo Nordisk’s best route to competing with rival Eli Lilly in the market. Doustdar said the popularity of Wegovy in pill form could eventually outpace that of the injectable version of the drug, which is quite likely given the ease of taking the medicine. The Athlone investment will see the company manufacture Wegovy pills here for markets outside the United States. [ The weight-loss drug revolution looks like a winner for Ireland’s economyOpens in new window ]It also disclosed that trial results for next-generation weight-loss drug CagriSema showed that it did not match the weight loss delivered by Zepbound, raising concern for the group’s future.

Iran’s ambassador to the UN nuclear agency alleged that the US and Israeli operation has targeted Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment site. Israel and the US have not acknowledged strikes at the site, which America bombed back in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June. Lebanon’s government said it was holding an emergency meeting after Hezbollah’s attack on Israel triggered the Israeli air strikes. In the 12-day war last June, Israeli and American strikes greatly weakened Iran’s air defences, military leadership and nuclear programme. But the killing of Mr Khamenei, who ruled Iran for more than three decades, creates a leadership vacuum, increasing the risk of regional instability.

The gulf is so big that only 4 per cent of women live in countries that have anything like full legal equality. That is a meaningful difference, the authors say, in a sample where the overall pay gap was just under 9 per cent. But some analysts think female chief executives may be keener to introduce such policies and, importantly, more likely to evaluate men and women’s leadership potential evenly. It needs to be said that the evidence is mixed in other areas, such as the extent to which female political leaders promote their sisters into ministerial jobs. Still, in business and public services, it does seem to make sense for women to work for women – if they can.

It is 24 years since the most beautiful goal in Premier League history was scored by Arsenal against Newcastle. Yes, it has taken them a step closer to their ultimate goal of becoming Champions once again but while it is winning football – and could prove to be successful football – nobody will be able to tell this correspondent that they are playing good football. Now, most of the games I see in the Premier League are not for me a joy to watch. Declan Rice is almost comparable with how Jonny Wilkinson used to steady himself'But it's always interesting because it's so competitive. You would have anticipated the greatest minds in the professional game could come up with something a little more innovative.

Fred (2018)In the summer of 2018, Brazilian midfielder Fred rejected City and completed a £47m transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk to United. After a protracted transfer saga, City instead signed the Aston Villa captain later that summer for a then-British record transfer fee of £100m. He did help City win an elusive Champions League title and the Treble, however, but is currently out on loan at Everton.
