Neptune would have targeted St Vincent's and UCD Marian at home as their two must win games if they are to survive in the Super League this year. The first of those opportunities came and went on Saturday as they lost 121-114 to St Vincent's. What resulted was a slip back into the bad habits that plagued the team in the early stages of the year as they conceded 121 points. Vincent's deserve credit as they got production from all over. Liam Kinsella scoring 28 on 12/14 shooting inside would not have been on many people’s bingo card heading into the game, but he continuously punished Neptune’s lack of interior defence.

Darwin Nunez 'in talks for shock Premier League return' as ex-Liverpool star set for new clubDarwin Nunez only joined Al-Hilal from Liverpool last summer in a £46million move, but the striker could already be on his way back to the Premier League in the coming months in a shock returnView Image Darwin Nunez could be on his way back to the Premier League (Image: Getty Images)Darwin Nunez could make a shock return to the Premier League this summer, just a year after leaving Liverpool for Al-Hilal. However, after the arrival of Karim Benzema earlier this month, Nunez has seen his future with Al-Hilal cast into speculation. ‌As a result of a strict foreign player quota and Benzema's registration, Nunez is now unable to play Pro League or Cup football for his current club. As a result, he now faces a lengthy period on the sidelines, forecasted to return in April at the earliest. As it stands, the Red sit sixth in the Premier League standings with 11 matches remaining with 45 points alongside fourth-place Chelsea and Manchester United in fifth.

Should Ireland hurdle two playoff games on March 26 and 31, they will qualify for a first World Cup since 2002. El Mencho’s cartel, which was founded about 16 years ago and became Mexico’s most influential crime group, was also accused of attempting to assassinate Mexican government officials. Senior US officials celebrated El Mencho’s slaying, which follows months of pressure from Donald Trump over the influx of drugs and migrants across the 1,954-mile (3,145km) border between the two countries. The task force was quietly launched late last year with the goal of mapping out networks of drug cartel members on both sides of the US-Mexico border, US officials said. In a sign of El Mencho’s huge influence across Mexico, as well as other parts of Latin America, his killing sparked an immediate outbreak of disorder across the region he ruled.

Legislation “absolutely failed” three children killed by their mother, and the State owes it to their memory to reform the law, the Seanad has been told. Independent senator Aubrey McCarthy said that “ambiguity” across a variety of acts had “catastrophic” consequences for Conor, Darragh, and Carla McGinley. Their father, Andrew McGinley, believes they could still be alive today if he had been informed about basic safeguarding issues related to the mental health of his wife, who was being cared for by HSE community mental health services. Ms Morley, who had been due to be transferred to a secure residential mental health unit around the time she killed her children, was — Mr McGinley later found out — suicidal and had said she did not want to be around her own children. Minister of state Jennifer Murnane O’Connor said Sharing the Vision, the national mental health policy, “underpins the support for family involvement”.

The Roscommon native co-owns a company that runs small cruises in traditional Indonesian Pinisi boats in the east of the archipelago. “I really wanted to get away from the 9-5, and I love windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing,” he says. Although the sailing life isn’t an obvious one for the native of a landlocked county, Gallagher grew up with a sense of adventure. A desire to escape the humdrum morphed into a pretty close manifestation of that, when he joined SeaTrek Sailing Adventures. For Gallagher the conservation work is as much about self-preservation as the other benefits.

Xi wants access to more advanced semiconductors, the removal of restrictions on Chinese companies operating in the US and a reduction of American support for Taiwan.
