Andy Farrell believes Ireland’s under-pressure scrummaging unit is saving the best for last in the Triple Crown decider against Scotland at Aviva Stadium on Saturday. There has been regression since at scrum-time, however, with Ireland’s front row coming off second best to Italy, England and Wales despite Farrell’s team winning all three matches. "The guys are working extremely hard to save the best until last, that's for sure,” Farrell said. "More so, like I've been saying all along, it's to give people a chance when they deserve it. Tom Stewart 100 per cent deserved it, he could have had a try last weekend and didn't.

Report says this is a ‘one-off event’ as it points to Irish investment in AmericaForeign direct investment (FDI) flows to Ireland fell last year due to US firms repatriating capital, according to a new report from the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland. Between 2020 and the third quarter of last year, more US capital left ­Ireland than arrived, with a net outflow of $10.5bn (€9.1bn). The report is keen to stress FDI is a two-way street and that Ireland is among the top five countries investing in America. To address this skills deficit, Ireland needs to take decisive actionPaul Sweetman, chief executive of the American Chamber, said: “Irish companies employ over 200,000 people across all 50 US states. “To address this skills deficit, Ireland needs to take decisive action,” he said.

Inflation set to rise rather than ease throughout the yearThe conflict in the Middle East is set to send the price of groceries up even more. Dr Emma Howard, an economist at TU Dublin, said higher energy costs would hit businesses that produce food and lead to higher transport costs. “These increased production and transport costs will feed through the supply chain, resulting in higher prices on the supermarket shelves,” she said. He added that the increase in food prices will probably last for quite some time. “From a position where it looked like Irish food price inflation was headed to 3pc or lower, it now looks like we will see food price inflation heading back towards 5pc,” Mr Hughes said.

Bill Linnane: Energy crisis? As a penny-pinching dad I feel like I’ve been training for this moment all my lifeI tell my kids the house isn’t cold, they are cold because they're sitting around wearing shorts and T-shirtsThere are other ways to stay warm in an energy crisis. Photo: Picture posed/GettyBill Linnane Today at 06:30In the mind of the average dad, there is always an energy crisis.

Robbie Keane is the frontrunner to become the next Celtic manager, with the club making background plans to heavily restructure football operations at the end of this season. Keane’s work at Ferencvaros and previously Maccabi Tel Aviv is understood to place him as the prime candidate to succeed Martin O’Neill, whose second spell as an interim Celtic manager will end in the summer. No formal moves will be made by Celtic until the domestic season ends but Keane is the manager firmly in their sights. Keane, who had a brief spell as a Celtic player in 2010, won the title during his only full season as a manager in Israel. Having won the Hungarian top flight last season, Ferencvaros are joint top heading into this weekend.

Pipeline Integrity Considerations for Dense CO₂ ServiceAltamira will also present “Integrity Implications of Pipelines Converted to Dense CO₂ Service,” authored by Mohamed Barakat, P.Eng. As global decarbonization efforts accelerate, dense-phase CO₂ pipelines — operating in supercritical or liquid-like states — are increasingly being deployed for long-distance transportation. While similar in construction to hydrocarbon pipelines, CO₂ pipelines face distinct integrity risks due to their unique thermodynamic and chemical properties. To address these risks, the study proposes a predictive framework for risk-based integrity management of converted CO₂ pipelines. Our multidisciplinary team delivers high-quality services in asset integrity, pipeline safety, environmental health and safety, GIS and energy asset engineering, supported by deep expertise in federal, state and local regulations including PHMSA, EPA, DOT and OSHA.
