Tottenham were never going to win the Champions League, so bowing out of that arena unceremoniously isn't a disaster in the current context. The real horror for Tottenham supporters is the Premier League table, and their team's direction of travel within it. Tottenham, meanwhile, are reportedly considering sacking Igor Tudor, an interim manager who has been in charge for four games. Kinsky's inclusion, ironically, was farely well received by Tottenham fans online, but what happened next was an unmitigated disaster. With nine games left in the Premier League, their fate, and the future of the club, hangs in the balance.

The Government has been accused of “failing migrants in a disgusting way” and engaging in “far right rhetoric”. The Labour Party has said the Government must roll out a positive information campaign highlighting the significant role migrants play in Irish society. Labour’s justice spokesman, Alan Kelly, said the Government has “failed relation to this and failed in a very disgusting way”.

As the world fixated on the Strait of Hormuz, US president Donald Trump took Wednesday afternoon to drop into the real America. This was a rehash of Trump’s indispensable lines, like the 2020 election fraud line, and sharp new attacks featuring targets familiar and fresh. Remember when he filled up a 757 with billions of dollars of cash and sent it to Iran? US president Donald Trump greets Ed Gallrein, a farmer who has repeatedly voiced his support for him, on stage at an event in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday. “The main thing is we have to win this thing, win it quickly, but win it,” he told the White House press corps.

He was at the time Ireland’s only third Olympic gold medal winner, after Pat O’Callaghan in the hammer (in 1928 and 1932) and Bob Tisdall in the 400m hurdles (also in 1932). Delany remains Ireland’s last Olympic gold medallist in athletics. I don’t do maybes, but it is terrifying to think about my life if I hadn’t won that Olympic gold medal. Britain had three finalists, including Brian Hewson, and while there was a sense any one of the 12 might win, Delany was the dark horse. In his sophomore year in 1956, Delany helped Villanova win three Penn Relays titles, running the anchor leg in both the sprint and distance medley.

When Keir Starmer arrives in Cork on Thursday in advance of Friday’s summit with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, there will inevitably be a sense that someone is missing. Only a month ago, Macroom-born Morgan McSweeney was regarded as one of the most powerful men in British politics. The UK, for its part, will view Ireland as a valuable interlocutor in seeking the most favourable terms for a closer future relationship with the EU. From an Irish perspective, a change of Labour leadership would be manageable; any successor is unlikely to reverse course significantly on relations with Ireland or the EU. That prospect, still some years distant, should concentrate minds on both sides of the Irish Sea.

It is no surprise as to why 5 St James Terrace attracted Swift (or whoever organises her travel arrangements); it seamlessly blends old-world character with sophisticated, contemporary style. The row of period homes on St James Terrace is set back from Clonskeagh Road in Dublin 6, adjacent to Milltown Park and a 15-minute walk from Ranelagh village. A utility room, guest WC and an en suite room complete the garden level and there is also convenient side access here from the inner hallway. Outside, a gravelled pathway leads through the garden to the coach house property, which extends to 123sq m (1,323sq ft).
