The Daily Mail launches its own TV talkshow. The Mail previously hosted video content on its own paid-for app, but is airing this weekly yakathon free on YouTube. The Reaction – a title that whiffs of a placeholder they forgot to replace – is hosted by Andrew Pierce and Sarah Vine. Her co-presenter Pierce hosts a morning show on GB News and has the social media moniker @toryboypierce (how impartial). The half-hour runtime is divided into three parts: Nuclear Reaction (the Post Office saga), Royal Reaction (“poor old Prince Andrew”) and Allergic Reaction (the celebrity stories vexing our hosts).

Morne Steyn’s penalty when the Bulls won at the RDS two seasons ago and Jack Crowley’s moment of brilliance to end Leinster’s URC campaign last May are the two most recent examples of opponents exposing Leinster’s fallibility. This has raised a few questions about the quality of players coming through the Leinster system. Luke Fitzgerald was one of the rare Leinster players who fit into the team without dimming his creativity. Underage players that are identified in the Leinster system get more support than ever before, strength and conditioning programmes, nutrition advice and rugby technical support. However, the window to bed in genuine rugby skills is limited, and I think we have that balance a little wrong in some positions.

The communities around Lough Funshinagh are living in fear and have again urged a solution to be found to the risk of flooding at the South Roscommon lake. Properties at Ballagh Cross and elsewhere are at risk of flooding, causing huge concern locally. Last week, Roscommon County Council said that the water level at “Lough Funshinagh is extremely high for this time of year”. Speaking to the Herald, Matthew Beattie of the Lough Funshinagh Flood Crisis Committee said that action was needed urgently. “At a public meeting in 2016 the community highlighted the issue facing them around the lake and the potential for flooding.

On Wednesday, the three public transport unions – Unite, GMB and Siptu – confirmed their members will join the action. “It will bring all public transport services in Northern Ireland to a standstill,” the unions said. They have urged Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris to intervene in the absence of a functioning devolved government and make the pay award. Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill said public sector workers have been “forced into a horrible position” of taking strike action. “They will not be used as political pawns in a process that would see the return of the Northern Ireland Executive,” he said.

Offaly slightly below national average level of affluence, according to new indexOffaly is marginally below the national average level of affluence according to the 2022 Pobal HP Deprivation Index. The Pobal HP Deprivation Index uses data from Census 2022, analysing ten measures of an area’s levels of disadvantage. Almost 19,000 small areas, including 296 in Offaly, (50-200 households) were indexed leading to the development of a detailed map of the relative affluence and disadvantage. “The 2022 Pobal HP Deprivation Index is created to inform national policy and ensure that resources can be properly directed to where they are most needed. The data can also be extracted for further analysis through the geoprofiling viewer and compared between the 2022 Index Census and the three previous editions.

The common thread at the heart of the Post Office-Fujitsu scandal is a lack of accountability. Rudderless: No one at the Post Office was prepared to hold anyone but the unfortunate sub-postmasters and post-mistresses responsible for foul-ups at the topAt the Post Office it worked against the greater public interest because no one was prepared to hold anyone but the unfortunate sub-postmasters and post-mistresses responsible for foul-ups at the top. But accountability to investors means that successive bosses who blundered – Rico Back and Simon Thompson – were unceremoniously dumped from office. It is not just the Post Office which proved rudderless in crisis. The combination of second rate management and a lack of accountability at both the Post Office and Fujitsu proved to be the perfect storm for the sub-postmasters and mistresses.
