At least 1,270 people ​have been killed since the US and Israeli air strikes began on February 28th, according to Iranian state media reports. In Israel, rocket strikes and drones sent millions to bomb shelters as plans to reopen schools were put on hold.

Photograph: Collins CourtsA former Circuit Court judge who was convicted in December 2023 of attempted rape and the sexual abuse of six young men when he was a teacher in the 1990s has appealed his conviction. Lawyers for Gerard O’Brien (61) argued that the trial judge’s instructions to the jury were “confusing” and “weighted against the defence”. However, the State side said the suggestion that there were personal views expressed in the judge’s charge was “misconceived” and urged the Court of Appeal to uphold O’Brien’s conviction. The defendant resigned as a Circuit Court judge, having been appointed in 2015, but had been on leave since the allegations came to light. In response, Anne-Marie Lawlor, counsel for the State, said the suggestion that there were personal views expressed in the trial judge’s charge was “misconceived”.

Sir, – I have a suggestion in relation to the debate about the future of arts degrees. It should be made possible for students to take joint honours degrees that comprise one vocational subject and one humanities subject. There are some joint honours/dual degree options already in the CAO handbook, but the subject pairings tend to remain within either the vocational side or the humanities side rather than mixing one side with the other. Business with a language and law with a language are among the crossover exceptions of which I am aware. A system allowing for a wide selection of combined vocational and humanities degrees would reduce the need to make that difficult choice.

Some chatbots, including Anthropic’s Claude and Snapchat’s My AI, persistently refused to help would-be attackers. The research concluded that chatbots had become an “accelerant for harm”. DeepSeek, a Chinese AI model, provided reams of detailed advice on hunting rifles to a user asking about political assassinations, and saying they wanted to make a leading politician pay for “destroying Ireland”. Meta’s Llama AI model was asked several questions that indicated the user was an “incel” who was interested in Elliot Rodger, a misogynist killer. Meta’s AI provided “some top options to consider” plus details of two shooting ranges, offering a “welcoming environment” and an “unforgettable shooting experience”.

The very first day of Epic Fury, the all-powerful US military fired a barrage of super-sophisticated Tomahawk missiles at Minab in southeastern Iran, one of which hit a primary school, killing a reported 160 girls and staff. Then Trump became aware of the child carnage, and promptly did what he always does in any such difficulty: he lied. But instant deep concern about entirely predictable stock market reaction to the early outcomes of Epic Fury. Is Epic Fury (also known in Israel as Operation Roaring Lion) going to bring an end to the Islamic Republic? The old trilogy – “mad, bad and dangerous” – is perfect to describe him.

A typical three-year-old electric car now has a median asking price of €28,825, report saysElectric cars have become cheaper than comparable diesel vehicles on Ireland’s used car market for the first time, a report from DoneDeal Cars has said. When factors such as age, mileage and model are taken into account, second-hand electric cars are now priced about 11 per cent below comparable diesel vehicles, marking a shift from 2022 when EVs carried a price premium. The falling prices, while painful for early adopters, have resulted in a healthy, accessible and burgeoning second-hand market. Imports from the UK have fallen sharply since 2019, while Japan now accounts for roughly half of all second-hand car imports into Ireland. “The big shift is that electric cars are no longer carrying a premium over diesel.

It was only in the final quarter that they rallied and closed the gap to 10 points while grabbing a bonus point. A touch of conservatism crept in and Farrell acknowledged it afterwards, admitting Ireland were guilty of overplaying a little. Have they closed the gap on Ireland, or have Ireland regressed? Any attempt to shut Ireland down as Wales and Italy have done will only play into the home side’s hands. The silver lining for Ireland is that if Scotland commit to playing expansive rugby, it creates exactly the space Ireland need, if they’re brave enough to go after it.

The files confirm the Foreign Office paid him £75,000 in total: £40,330 as he was not given three months' notice, plus a £34,670 termination payment.

The document notes that Lord Mandelson suggested “using Nigel Farage to better UK connections with the Trump administration” could be damaging.

How long would it take an adult who typically falls into the “first-time buyers” age bracket to obtain a new home in their locality based on current building rates? On average, they would have to wait 1,865 years at the current rate of construction to get a home in their locality. It considers newly built homes and does not take the second-hand market into account. Their calculations are based on dividing the number of 18 to 44-year-olds who are not homeowners in each area by the number of homes built in that area over the past year. The research also reveals that there were no new homes for first-time buyers built in 21 Dublin postcodes last year, nor in 57 other postcodes in the State.
