The High Court is set to assess damages owed to Nikita Hand by her former neighbours after they failed to respond to Hand’s claim for damages accusing them of abusing court processes. At the hearing of the MMA fighter’s Court of Appeal (CoA) challenge last July, an application to admit O’Reilly and Cummins’ sworn statements was dramatically withdrawn. Shortly after the three-judge CoA unanimously dismissed the appeal, Hand filed a lawsuit seeking damages against McGregor, Cummins and O’Reilly for “malicious abuse” of court processes. Siún Leonowicz, barrister for Hand instructed by Coleman Legal LLP, told the judge Hand’s case arose from the “conduct” of McGregor’s CoA appeal. That court refused to hear McGregor’s appeal.

The underage scene in Galway will become a summer “wasteland” if All-Ireland minor finals return as curtain-raisers to the senior deciders, according to county chairman Paul Bellew. Bellew points out the ticketing implications a minor final would have on the allocations of those counties competing in the senior game, but Galway’s opposition to the motion is rooted in what the traditional final double-header would do to the club scene in their county. “We played 254 games last year between our minor and our U20 championships.

New Leaving Certificate subject specifications were introduced in September 2025 to all Irish schools in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Each student is now tasked with undertaking their own “Additional Assessment Component” (AAC) – a laboratory-based research investigation, worth 40 per cent, in each subject. The report recommended that the 40 per cent allocation to the AAC laboratory-based research investigation be reduced to 20 per cent. It has recommended that targeted capital investment be provided to bring all post-primary school science laboratories and associated facilities up to an agreed national standard. “Teachers welcome the intent to foster genuine scientific inquiry, but the proposed 40 per cent laboratory-based research investigations simply cannot be delivered safely or fairly in most Irish schools today,” he said.

In response to the legal defeat, Trump said he would invoke a separate, untested law to temporarily introduce a global 15 per cent tariff on imports. European politicians and officials spent the weekend trying to confirm what the developments mean for a EU-US trade deal struck last summer, which capped tariffs on European Union goods sold into the US at 15 per cent. “We need absolute clarity.”The European Parliament’s trade committee has paused its work on ratifying the EU-US tariff deal until the dust settles on the latest twist.

Ireland’s dependence on Britain for digital and electricity connectivity poses “significant operational and security risks”, a European Commission expert group has warned. The Expert Group on Secure and Resilient Submarine Cable Infrastructures said this dependence reduces Ireland’s ability to withstanding breaches be they deliberate or accidental. At present, there are 14 operational cables landing in Ireland that collectively form the backbone of its external communications infrastructure." “This is considered a cable project of European interest priority area because Ireland’s current connectivity situation creates a critical single-point dependency that poses significant operational and security risks,” the report said. “The cable security toolbox outlined in the report addresses several strategic and technical preventive measures for private industry, member states, the commission, and others to advance,” it said.

‌Salah has been prolific at Liverpool and is now regarded among their greatest ever players, but the club will have to look to replace him sooner rather than later. He told OLBG: "We’re talking about replacing Mohamed Salah and I think as fans you’ve got to look at something different because you can’t replace Mo Salah. Would Jarrod Bowen be a downgrade from Mohamed Salah? Obviously after a good World Cup, being at home with the pressure on him, he is definitely someone who could offer something different to Mohamed Salah or even Cody Gakpo right now. "Mo left Chelsea to go to Italy and look at what he’s done for Liverpool.
