A teacher has been accused of professional misconduct over falsely representing his qualifications, teaching experience and registration status in numerous job applications to the Cork Education and Training Board three years ago. “My memory was not precise,” he told Cork ETB. However, Mr McKelvey said Mr Clancy seemed to have conflated interviews and forms he had filled out as part of the application process. The inquiry heard that Mr Clancy did not wish to participate in the hearing and he was not legally represented. The inquiry heard that Mr Clancy had also claimed in job applications to Cork ETB that he had been employed by a Cork language school for six months in 2022.

Fines of up to €25,000, the seizure of lorries, vans and cars and potential six-month prison sentences for failure to pay the M50 toll charges have been defended by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). “Enforcement is about fairness for the 97 per cent of the road users who use the M50 and who do pay their toll,” the roads authority said. On the M50, about 4,000 journeys a day – based on three per cent of the annual average daily traffic figures – remain unpaid. One of these was for the owner of a vehicle which had passed the barrier-free toll 2,208 times. O’Neill urged drivers to do the easier thing and pay their toll correctly.

The second book, I got married in the middle of it. (I had to forfeit one fifth of my advance to get a libel read for my second book.)

I was lucky with my second book, it had great marketability, being about the rivalry between Barça and Real Madrid.

Lord of the Dance star Michael Flatley is embroiled in another legal battle in the High Court — this time with his former solicitor. The Flatley side is also seeking an order compelling Mr Mooney, with an office at Maynooth, Co Kildare, to provide a copy of the Flatley client account. Mr Creed stated that it was unclear whether €290,000 had been applied as fees or whether they remain held on account. This, Mr Flatley alleges, is impeding the orderly progression of his litigation. Mr Creed said extensive correspondence was exchanged with Mr Mooney, and Mr Mooney wrote that his office was “exercising a general lien” over all files and papers relating to Mr Flatley until "we and counsel are paid in full”.

Pupils could be excluded from school for three weeks if they come into contact with someone with measles as authorities battle to contain an outbreak. Health leaders have told parents that unvaccinated children would be forced to isolate at home if they are exposed to the highly contagious disease. The drastic measures resemble those imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic when people were forced to self-isolate and children were made to learn remotely. Just 64.3 per cent of five-year-olds in Enfield received both doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubela) vaccine in 2024/25. 'But with vaccination rates falling and the UK losing its measles elimination status, it's vital we act now.

Tyson Fury has revealed the deaths of two of long-time rival Anthony Joshua’s friends in a car crash in December was the catalyst for his return to boxing. The announcement came a week after compatriot Joshua was involved in a car crash in Nigeria which killed his close friends Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele. “Tomorrow might not ever come and I suppose the biggest turning point in this comeback for me was the tragedy that happened with Anthony Joshua,” Fury said at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “You should never put things off until tomorrow, or next year, or next week because tomorrow is not promised to nobody. “The Bible says tomorrow is not a gift, tomorrow ain’t promised, tomorrow is a mystery so we have to live for today.

John Fury launched a furious x-rated tirade at his long-term adversary Carl Froch on Monday afternoon. 'I'm John Fury, where the f*** are you, lets get it on,' a furious Fury Snr began. Fury Snr was absolutely seething by this point before another video later saw him continuing his shouting inside the press conference room.

Fury Snr then gave Tyson a kiss on the head before he walked off stage in bizarre scenes.

Marco Rubio is portrayed as one of the Trump administration’s star performers as US secretary of state. A versatile, opportune and fluent politician from Cuban-American roots in Florida, he has adapted his positions and beliefs adroitly to Trump’s. Rubio gave full voice to the new US doctrine of great power geopolitics, ethno-cultural identity and national interests set out in his department’s National Security Strategy. The Trump administration’s determined ideological internationalism was seen in Rubio’s Slovakian and Hungarian meetings with leaders who oppose deepening European integration. Rubio’s European message is crafted to appeal but calculated to draw unwary Europeans into a political trap they should reject.

Two clubmen battling for the same No 1 inter-county jerseyFrom the late 1950s until 1972, there were two hurling clubs in the Thomastown parish in Kilkenny – Thomastown and Thomastown Rangers.
