Jack O’Connor senses the proposal to extend the All-Ireland senior football championship into early August from 2027 will not garner enough support. Because part of the recommendation includes the permanent disbandment of the pre-season competitions, some Ulster counties could also oppose it. They probably would like a little bit of a break in there somewhere, so taking two weeks out of that would be a challenge, no doubt,” Kiely reasoned. I could see how it could move a little bit, just to give a little bit of a build-up to the final itself. I hope it is a problem that we have, but at the minute it is not a concern for us.

Predictably, investors have been doubling down on the recent ‘buy gold, sell dollar’ trade, as markets price in further uncertainty. A question left open by the court ruling is the amount of the c.$130bn in tariffs paid under the act. Once again, Ireland looks to have avoided any significant uplift in tariffs, given the continued zero-rate for chemical and pharmaceutical products. Analysis by Global Trade Alert suggests Ireland’s effective rate will rise minimally, but continue to average about 5%. The ruling now empowers the US Congress to drive the trade agenda, which was never as gung-ho as the president on tariffs.

He said Russia’s threat to the EU was “serious enough” and added: “Right across all areas, critical maritime security, subsea cables, cyber security, hybrid attacks, Russia presents a threat”. The Irish Examiner reported that an early assessment by Irish security services pointed to Russian intelligence or groups acting on their behalf as being responsible. However, the Detailed Implementation Plan said the arrival of the equipment would be completed by “September 2026”. “I don’t understand how we are about to have a maritime security strategy before a national security strategy,” Mr Geraghty said. Mr Flynn expressed concern at how Irish security agencies are going to work, given the absence of the NSS or NSAC.

Premier League: TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 1 ARSENAL 4This meant more. “The way we lived the last 72 hours (since drawing at Wolves) meant this game needed some context. Kolo Muani had a second goal ruled out for a push on Gabriel, and substitute Richarlison forced a goal-line save from Raya with a cheeky backheel. But Arteta's team always looked more likely to score, and Gyokeres deservedly got his second goal in stoppage time to cap his best game yet in an Arsenal shirt. “I can't be angry with the players because I saw their passion and energy, but Arsenal were too much for us,” lamented Tudor.

I've been hiking for 30 years — this walk 2 hours from Gloucestershire is the best of them allThis is one of my favourite places in the world. ‌Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr circular walkThe circular walk I do taking in both Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr is 9.7 miles (15.6km), fairly challenging and involves 2,350 feet (712 metres) of climbing. You can cut that in half by doing a smaller circular walk just around Llyn y Fan Fach or cut it down to less than 90 minutes if you simply walk to Llyn y Fan Fach from the makeshift car park, where the walk begins, and back. Keep heading east towards Fan Brycheiniog, where you'll see a small stone shelter, and from there descend to Llyn y Fan Fawr. The legend of the Lady of the LakeAccording to folklore, a young farmer saw a beautiful woman emerge from the waters of Llyn y Fan Fach.

How much do film extras earn in Ireland and how regular is the work?
