39-year-old Seán Fagan of Dunvale Crescent, Frankfield, Douglas, was sentenced to four years with the last two years suspended at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on Monday for harassment between September 26, 2021, and March 12, 2022. On that date the woman found Seán Fagan’s bank card on the ground behind her car parked outside her home. She reported this to gardaí who spoke to Seán Fagan about the matter and warned him about staying away from the young woman. But in a later incident, while dining with a friend in Douglas, the young woman went to change the parking disk on her car. Two residents in the estate became concerned about a man — later identified as Seán Fagan — sitting in his BMW near the house.

Dominik Szoboszlai is being wasted and Liverpool are now left with unavoidable decisionIn the second part of his weekly column, John Aldridge makes a plea about Dominik Szoboszlai and laments the absence of Florian WirtzView Image Dominik Szoboszlai of Liverpool during the Premier League match at Nottingham Forest on February 22 2026 (Image: Carl Recine/Getty Images)Dominik Szoboszlai is being wasted at right-back at Liverpool. ‌Liverpool were being overrun in midfield and really needed somebody with his physicality and attributes to get stuck in. ‌In the end, it took another quarter-of-an-hour before Slot made the change and Liverpool were much better for it, particularly in the second half. ‌I know Slot is reluctant to play Joe Gomez at right-back as he wants him as centre-back cover. Ekitike learningLiverpool missed the ingenuity of Florian Wirtz against Nottingham Forest and fingers crossed he’ll be okay to start against West Ham United.

I thought we were probably, certainly in the second half, the more likely team [to score]. It's the quality… the quality which costs big money.

The BBC has removed an article that suggested a care home boss stole £250,000 from residents after finding it hard to get help for his gambling addiction because he is gay. The BBC took down the article as 'it didn't meet our usual editorial standards', hours after the Daily Mail asked the corporation about the backlash. In its report, the BBC pointed to a Bournemouth University study, which found some LGBT+ people feared being judged when seeking support for gambling addiction. After removing the article, the BBC posted the following statement on its Corrections and Clarifications page. It wrote: 'We posted an online article about a gay man who said he felt unable to access gambling addiction services and some research into others who felt similar.

Everton tactics branded 'over the top' by Manchester United heroEverton clearly fancied their chances on corners against Senne Lammens but the Manchester United goalkeeper held firm to help earn his side a vital 1-0 Premier League away victoryView Image Everton flooded the Manchester United box from corners but they were unable to make any of their 10 deliveries count (Image: Michael Regan/Getty Images)Everton's tactics from corners were "a bit over the top" in their bruising 1-0 home loss to Manchester United. ‌But Lammens and the United defence stood firm to secure a vital victory - their fifth in six unbeaten games under interim manager Michael Carrick - in the battle for Champions League football. My defenders can create space for me, so I have the opportunity to come and punch the ball away. One person who was impressed with Lammens was Everton manager David Moyes, who said afterwards: "The goalie was brilliant for them tonight. For me, he was the best player for them.”The Blues return to action on Saturday away to Newcastle United (3pm).

A rewatch of the closing 14 minutes in search of clarity. Kicking just one wide in the closing 14 minutes, it wasn’t waste that denied them.

Standing 6ft 4in tall, a hachimaki pushing back his mop of hair, Usman Tariq could be mistaken for a martial artist. Australia’s Cameron Green drew attention to this rather unsubtly when, during a World Cup warm-up match, he was caught on camera marking his dismissal by mimicking the side sling technique, before later apologising. England’s Tom Banton also appeared to intimate to on-field officials at the Pakistan Super League that Tariq was throwing. In his second appearance, against a Zimbabwe team that has been the surprise package of this Twenty20 World Cup, he took a hat-trick. But Sahibzada Farhan, leading run-scorer at this World Cup and one of the 63 Pakistani players to have signed up for the auction, said: ‘I'm very hopeful.

The grief-stricken parents of Gus Lamont have broken their silence to ask the public for help finding their little boy. Gus disappeared from his grandparents' 60,000ha Oak Park Station in South Australia's Mid North on September 27 last year. A cadaver dog, a police helicopter, and Taskforce Horizon detectives converged on Bullyaninnie Station near Oodla Wirra on February 16. Gus' grandparents, Shannon and Josie, oversee that station as well as their own neighbouring Oak Park Station near Yunta, where the four-year-old vanished. However detectives stressed they have completely ruled out Gus' parents, Jessica Murray and Joshua Lamont, as possible suspects.

But we needed to do whatever we could, short of joining in the war, to help the Ukrainians resist occupation. As it turned out, when the shooting started, Ukraine mattered more to Ukrainians and to Europe than the Russians had predicted. That's what the Strategic Defence Review recommended and we're getting on with it, informed by almost daily insights drawn from the war in Ukraine. Russia started this war by invading Ukraine, and it seems to me only they can decide to stop it. Ukraine is showing extraordinary resolve and ingenuity, and we need to keep helping them do that.

The best example is in how Irish Lights works with its UK counterparts to maintain lighthouses and keep shipping lanes clear. The first would be an immediate commitment to a full-time naval base in Dún Laoghaire. That has always been a main mission for the Naval Service and it too needs to grow. The new strategy could bring a new band of “play station sailors” to join the Naval Service. It is time for Ireland to invest in maritime defence, maintaining our neutrality but enhancing our understanding, ingenuity and capability.

I hope I am more agreeable than I think, but I wouldn’t place any bets on it. I remember as a child being gutted at having what I thought was such a vanilla Irish second name. Mayo folk look as if they have been left out in the rain too long, but they’re all strong types. Half-man/half-wolf, he was 110lb of doggy gold, and the gap he has left in all our lives is unfathomable. She is a consultant psychiatrist, and I believe she, probably wisely, gave up on me a long time ago.

Ireland faces a looming "pensions timebomb", with the ratio of workers to over-65s set to more than halve by 2065 without policy reform, the Oireachtas housing committee will be warned on Tuesday. Housing supply and fertility ratesIf housing supply “rises as required” and population growth moderates, then the “imbalance” of housing supply and demand will “narrow in time”. Key to the issue of demographic change is Ireland’s declining fertility rate, which has fallen from nearly three children per woman 60 years ago to 1.6 in 2022. A fertility rate of 2.1 is considered necessary to keep a population stable. The drop in fertility rates is not unique to Ireland, but is mirrored in developed nations worldwide.
