Seán McCárthaighAn Bord Pleanála has given the green light to one of east Cork’s biggest-ever housing developments by approving the construction of over 700 new homes in Carrigtwohill. The development consists of 224 houses and 282 duplex units and 208 apartments as well as a creche and multi-use games areas on a 18.3 hectare site. An Bord Pleanála directed that two duplex units from BAM’s original proposal be removed because of their impact on a neighbouring property. An Bord Pleanála received a total of 11 third-party submissions, including one from local Green Party councillor, Alan O’Connor, with all but one raising objections and concerns about the development. An inspector with An Bord Pleanála said the plans were “effectively delivering a new urban neighbourhood which will all represent a significant expansion of the current town.”

Attendance figures show rise in crowds at Athlone Town men's and women's gamesOne of the few good news stories in Irish football in 2023 has been the increase in attendances at League of Ireland games - and figures released by the FAI today show that Athlone Town has been among the clubs to benefit. A breakdown of crowds during the 2023 season indicated that attendances for games involving both the Athlone Town men's and women's teams increased this year, albeit from a relatively low base in 2022. That year, home games involving the Athlone Town men's team attracted an average attendance of 307, according to the official figures. This was the lowest average attendance in 2022 across the men's Premier Division and First Division. The Athlone Town women's team, meanwhile, had an average attendance of 151 in 2022, but this also increased significantly, to 248 (a rise of 64%) in 2023.

Dublin just erupted in rioting, looting, and arson after three children and two adults were stabbed outside a school. The Guardian, Al Jazeera, AP, and the BBC ran almost identical stories that left the reader baffled as to why a “right-wing” mob would spontaneously riot. It takes some digging to discover what went unmentioned in the MSM: the unnamed, undescribed stabber with unclear motives is reportedly an older Algerian immigrant. The riot involved an attack and arson directed at a Holiday Inn the Irish government turned into immigrant housing near the stabbing site. Even if the perception of the mob proves to be entirely wrong, the fact that this issue has many on a hair-trigger ought to be diagnostic.

The Guardian's main story is that because of a system dating back to feudal times, King Charles III is able to profit from the assets of some people who die without a will or a known next of kin. Ownerless property in some parts of northern England reverts to the Duchy of Lancaster, the King's property and land estate. Funds are, claims the paper, being used to finance the renovation of property owned by the King. The Duchy says that anything left from the ownerless properties after deducting costs is given to charity.

David Young, Grainne Ni Aodha and Rebecca Black, PAUpdated: 12pmRioters who wreaked destruction during a night of violence in Dublin brought shame on Ireland, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said, as he vowed to use the full force of the law against them. Speaking to the media on Friday morning, Mr Varadkar described the estimated 500 people responsible for the disorder as hate-filled, violence-loving cowards. Mr Varadkar said Dublin had witnessed “two terrible attacks” on Thursday. “Each attack brought shame to our society and disgrace to those involved and incredible pain to those caught up in the violence. “As Taoiseach, I want to say to a nation that is unsettled and afraid, this is not who we are, this is not where we want to be, and this is not who we will ever be.”The unrest came after an attack in Parnell Square East (Brian Lawless/PA)He added: “Those involved brought shame on Dublin, brought shame on Ireland and brought shame on their families and themselves.

MEMBERS of the National Ukrainian Choir and Phil Coulter join up to give Phil’s ‘Steal Away’ a fresh take by translating it into Ukrainian. Photo: Marc O’SullivanBono, Sinéad and Bill on Phil’s Galway concertMaster songwriter showing no signs of letting upWHEN Phil Coulter plays Galway’s Town Hall next month he will be interspersing new tunes with his hits – and he will have Bono, Bill Clinton, the late Sinéad O’Connor, and even a recent family wedding as part of the show on a big screen as background film clips. Perhaps Phil’s diversity through the decades is why his music is as relevant as ever. Even when Bono and U2 were wooing the crowds in Las Vegas this autumn they launched into one of Phil’s relatively recent compositions, Ireland’s Call, to rapturous applause. Their film clip of that got a sensational reaction on TV in the States and it will now be part of an elaborate backdrop for his Galway concert.
