By Cillian Sherlock, Press AssociationThe imposition of further US tariffs through an alternative legal basis “cannot be ruled out”, the Tánaiste has said. The warning was borne out mere hours later when US President Donald Trump announced a 10 per cent “global tariff” on top of existing measures. It came after the US Supreme Court ruled that Mr Trump’s sweeping “reciprocal” global tariffs were unconstitutional on Friday. After the Supreme Court ruling, Tánaiste Simon Harris said: “We are – as you would expect – monitoring the situation closely. “We therefore continue to advocate for low tariffs and to work towards reducing them.”

Inmates have been given their own alarm clocks to wake them up gently each morning rather than having a prison officer bang on their cell doors. The introduction of alarm clocks, which will give prisoners more autonomy over when they wake up, is part of a 10-month trial that launched seven weeks ago.

Think how Robert Baloucoune must have felt when he was picked to start on the wing for Ireland against South Africa in November of 2022. The Ulster wing was 25 and this third cap was his biggest chance yet with James Lowe injured and the world champions in town. You know, it had been a while and playing for Ulster was even looking a bit dreadful (sic). Mack Hansen started on the right wing 19 times during his own long spell on the outside looking in. I've seen stuff about Eddie as well, and the amount of support that he's actually got from Cork as well has been unbelievable.

From a pre-Covid level of about 15 per cent, the proportion of employees who sometimes or usually worked from home surged to 44 per cent during lockdown. Second, in absolute terms, nearly 960,000 people are still working from home – more than three times the pre-Covid number. It has often been said that the ultimate test of hybrid working will be its ability to withstand a labour market slowdown that hands power back to employers. [ Hybrid working: Banks, finance and law firms bring Ireland’s workers back to the officeOpens in new window ]Although unemployment remains low, the CSO data shows that it has edged-up, and that jobs growth has slowed.

US president Donald Trump has said the administration will impose an immediate 10 per cent global tariff, “over and above normal tariffs already being charged”.

The vessel Sea Horse, expected to arrive in early March, is carrying much-needed fuels to Cuba, according to data from maritime intelligence firm Kpler Ltd. Pressure on Havana has been mounting since late last year, when US forces seized a ship carrying Venezuelan crude to Cuba. Cuba, which doesn’t produce much oil, heavily depends on imports of fuels or crude to run its refineries. Earlier this month the tanker Ocean Mariner, frequently used to ship fuels to Cuba, diverted and now signals Bahamas as its final destination, according to vessel movements. The ship, carrying 30,000 barrels of diesel, was loaded at the Colombian port of Barranquilla, a shipping report seen by Bloomberg shows.
