Local bishop's letter directs that churches should not host wakesThe Bishop of Ardagh and Clonmacnois, Paul Connell, has this week clarified his opposition to churches in the diocese hosting wakes in which a deceased person is reposed in an open coffin. On February 7, he published a letter, headed 'Guidelines for the use of Churches for Reposing of Remains', in which he directed that the reposing of the deceased in churches should be discontinued as of February 9. The use of parish halls or other parish facilities is perfectly in order," Bishop Connell wrote. There is no difficulty whatsoever with the remains reposing overnight (with a closed coffin) in the church," the statement said. He also said there had been consultation from Bishop Connell with parishes in the Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnois in relation to this matter.

Consumed by bitterness, the 77-year-old followed through on a festering grievance against retired groundsman Mr Low, reckoning that he was simply too smart ever to be caught.

The death of a teenager has been confirmed as Australia's first fatal case of a tick-induced red meat allergy, raising fresh concerns about the little-known condition.

Rents for one- and two-bedroom apartments for private tenants in Newmarket Yards start at €2,295 and €3,400 a month respectively, with all on-site amenities included in the cost. But social tenants’ key cards do not grant them access to any of those spaces because DCC has chosen not to pay the extra cost. In response, a representative of DCC said the amenities issue had been raised by three Newmarket Yards tenants in 2024, but had not been brought to its attention since. Labour councillor Darragh Moriarty said that “tucking away” soc­ial tenants and “hiding them from the rest of the complex” was not why Part V was introduced. A spokesperson for Tuath said Newmarket Yards is “a multi-block development with separate ownership and management arrangements”.
