Multiple types of shellfish are being recalled in at least nine states due to concerns they may be contaminated with a highly contagious 'rib-cracking' virus. While it is known the shellfish products were distributed in those nine states, the FDA warns they may have been further distributed to others. Norovirus is a highly contagious illness that causes diarrhea and vomiting, which can be so forceful at times it leads to broken ribs. The FDA warns that the shellfish may be contaminated with the virus even if it looks, smells and tastes normal. Norovirus is extremely contagious and the FDA warns retailers and restaurants to beware of potential cross-contamination from the shellfish, including utensils and preparation areas.

Man Utd set sights on Andoni Iraola but face competition from three Premier League rivalsManchester United will appoint a permanent head coach this summer and Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola is one of the names on the radar of the Red Devils and Premier League rivalsView 2 Images Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola has plenty of Premier League admirers (Image: Getty Images)Manchester United and Tottenham are among the Premier League clubs who could pounce if Andoni Iraola decides to leave Bournemouth at the end of the season. ‌The Cherries head coach, 43, has been a revelation since succeeding Gary O'Neil on the south coast back in the summer of 2023, guiding Bournemouth to their best ever Premier League finish last season. Unfortunately for them, Iraola's work has not gone unnoticed elsewhere and with his contract up this summer, potential suitors are starting to emerge. It remains to be seen, though, if Carrick will land the job full-time, with United continuing to be linked with other coaches.

A nurse who worked in hospitals for 20 years has been suspended for six months after he repeated a ‘deeply shocking’ joke he claimed was by Ricky Gervais to a colleague. He defended himself at Fife Hospital by saying he was ‘not the author’ of the line and was merely ‘repeating’ a sketch by comedian Mr Gervais. The hospital, denying his explanation, brought the case before a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) tribunal, where Mr Murray was subsequently suspended for misconduct. Mr Murray worked as a nurse for 20 years at St Andrews Hospital, Fife, and Fife Hospital, Fife, and otherwise had a clean record. The conversation ended with Mr Murray shouting offensive language at a female nurse and sticking two fingers up at her.

The FAI is adamant it can meet the needs of Irish football despite shedding a quarter of its staff. The FAI were unable to provide comparison details, only it came under headings of playing base, players in international football and club football. For instance, they want eight League of Ireland clubs to have their own transition year courses and running within the next four years. “‘Access to clear and consistent player pathways varies across the country’ and that ‘League of Ireland clubs operate with far lower staffing, facilities and commercial capacity than European peers’. When it comes to the blame game, the FAI pointedly surmised: “This is not an effort problem.

Social-media platforms are simply not neutral forums for speech or free speech. This means that freedom of speech on these platforms often becomes secondary to freedom of algorithmic amplification. If some speech is stifled while other speech is amplified that is not an open forum or marketplace for the exchange of ideas. The result is that information systems built in one country can shape political discourse and social values in another. If platforms decide what people see, then these are not neutral platforms or forums for free speech.

They are flanked by a quiet lane with several large houses and on the far side by links to busy roads, including the 2km distance to University Hospital Limerick. This 44-acre site — costing €14m — will be one of Ireland's largest hospital sites; slightly bigger than University Hospital Limerick and comparable to large hospitals in Cork or Galway. Its three options were immediate works at UHL, build a hospital facility near UHL and a new high-level hospital with an emergency department. Could plans to re-locate the Limerick maternity hospital also switch to the new site? I think the collective will is there, there’s cross-party support for this hospital.” He is “hopeful” patient involvement in reforms can continue.

Sir, – In his letter (“China and Irish politicians visiting Taiwan”, March 7th), China’s ambassador to Ireland takes the opportunity to dictate to the Irish people and our elected representatives what to think about Taiwan, which they call “China’s Taiwan Province”. He maintains that the Communist Party of China (CCP) is the sole political authority of both the People’s Republic of China and of Taiwan. The political facts on the ground indicate that the people of Taiwan elect their own government, and it is independent, by choice. Taiwan today operates as a free and open democracy, with its own elected government, military, currency and passport. Both Taiwan and Ireland have experienced periods of foreign rule in their histories – yet today both stand as independent democracies.
