A group representing some 2,500 retired Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann employees has complained about the delay in paying them a 5 per cent pension increase agreed last May. Photograph: Eric LukeFormer CIÉ workers are to march on the office of the Taoiseach in Cork on Monday to highlight the delay in paying them an increase in their pensions. The D1 stamp meant CIÉ workers were only paying 1 per cent of their wages into their statutory pension scheme. “The reasonable expectation of CIÉ employees was that their contribution to the statutory pension schemes would provide them with adequate incomes when they retired and into old age and CIÉ met that contractual obligation by paying annual pension increases up until 2008,“ said Bowen. He said that in May 2025, CIÉ announced pension increases up to 5 per cent, subject to changes to the current statutory pension schemes, and employees on the proposed scheme voted to accept it - but almost 10 months on, the CIÉ pensioners are still waiting.

A Brit is among 19 people killed after a passenger bus fell 650 feet from a hilly road in west NepalHundreds die in road crashes in Nepal annuallyRoad accidents are common in mostly mountainous Nepal where the conditions of roads are poor. Earlier this month, a bus carrying a wedding party fell off a slope of a mountain road in west Nepal in a devastating crash that killed at least 13 people while 34 more were injured. And in August 2024, 14 people were killed after a bus carrying dozens of worshippers tumbled 500 feet into a ravine in the Marsyangdi river.

There will be an inevitable rise in sea level. Fortunately, ice melts slowly, so that the rise in sea level by 2100 could be around 0.3 meters. While investment to prevent river flooding is going to be expensive, its long-term benefits will also be significant. Since then, the OPW has been given a co-ordinating role for preventing coastal flooding. To protect Dublin and its port could require a more substantial and expensive solution which could take decades to construct.

Minister for Sport Patrick O’Donovan has stopped all funding for League of Ireland astro pitches after fans threw flares on to the pitch during last Friday’s Louth derby between Dundalk and Drogheda United at Oriel Park. O’Donovan told RTÉ Radio on Monday morning that people at the clubs must know who was involved in the disturbances. O’Donovan said he had asked the League of Ireland and the FAI for “concrete proposals to stamp out hooliganism once and for all”. Photograph: Nick Elliott/Inpho“Now I don’t think that’s funny. The Minister also reiterated his view that the Republic of Ireland v Israel soccer match should go ahead in the autumn.

These tariffs were 15 per cent on most products – with important exclusions such as pharma. Trump’s new 15 per cent global tariff – based on a 1974 Act that allows them to stay in place for 150 days – is due to come into place on Tuesday. Pharma is one of a small number of sectors excluded from the new global tariffs. But the exclusion of pharma from the new global tariffs shows the sensitivity about drug prices in the US. Some will favour a strong reaction if the new US tariffs go beyond what was agreed with the EU.

For this week's column, simply continue reading...‌Dear Lala,‌It has finally occurred to me that my partner of nine years has narcissistic tendencies. (My father is a narcissist and I've learnt to keep my emotions in). My friends have told me he's a narcissist, but I've always managed to convince myself otherwise. I'm still trying to come to terms with my epiphany, I don't want to be walking on eggshells for the rest of my life. Seeing her mum walk on egg-shells teaches her a lot about what to expect from relationships.

But with one contribution, Rio Ngumoha effectively changed the course of this game – and perhaps Liverpool’s season. And the clamour for the 17-year-old to be handed a first Premier League start will now surely reach an almost deafening volume. ‌True, Nottingham Forest’s weary legs, particularly in the full-back positions, meant they were ripe for Rio Ngumoha to capitalise upon when thrown into the fray 17 minutes from the end of normal time. ‌Arne Slot has been wise not to over-expose Ngumoha given the travails of much of Liverpool’s season. ‌Konate different classIf ever there was an afternoon for Liverpool to have addressed their propensity for starting slowly in Premier League games this season, it was here.

Dean and Marisa Lane in their new home in Kildare, which they bought with the aid of the First Home Scheme. “I appreciate 5,000 in the overall scheme of housing is small enough, but for those 5,000 individuals and families it’s important for them,” he said. [ Two-thirds of First Home Scheme applicants also availing of Help-to-Buy arrangement ]However, he said the supply of new housing stock was “undoubtedly” affecting the number of first-time buyers availing of the support. About two-thirds of all scheme applicants have used it in combination with the Help-to-Buy scheme, which gives buyers tax rebates of up to €30,000. I honestly don’t know, but for the foreseeable future I think there is a need.”Under the First Homes Scheme a joint application is counted as one buyer, not two.

The Naval Service, however, in recent years has seen its capacity to operate reduced markedly, largely due to personnel shortages, especially in key technical grades. The Naval Service, for example, had limited sonar capabilities to detect activity beneath the seas. In today’s world, the role of the Naval Service is evolving quickly, while the Government is seeking to resolve the recruitment and retention crisis. “If one of those tankers that are not seaworthy should have an accident, the implications more broadly for our seas is absolutely colossal.”But the capacity of the Naval Service is limited. The Minister, on the other hand, is likely to maintain that a separate regeneration plan for the Naval Service, which is due shortly, “will set out a pathway for its future direction”.

QuestionI’m in my late 50s, living in Dún Laoghaire and starting to think about retirement in a few years’ time. I’d like to keep my mind active and learn something new, but without taking on anything too formal or time-consuming. One of the most accessible ways of re-engaging with learning, without making a major commitment, is through evening courses. While the college is well known for its full-time programmes, it has also developed a substantial night school that reflects how adult learning works in practice. For those unsure where to begin, national platforms such as nightcourses.com provide a useful overview of what is available, listing thousands of evenings and adult education options across Dublin and nationwide.
