Pre-match flare-up gives way to scoreless Shels and Bohs derby
SSE Airtricity Premier Division: Shelbourne 0 Bohemians 0Tension surged throughout this Tolka Park derby clash following a pre-match flare-up between both sets of players and the respective coaching teams. Shelbourne only got motoring late in the half and while they enjoyed good possession, very little fell their way in the Bohemians box. Myers was such a handful and remained central to Bohemians’ best work, teeing up Ross Tierney who drew another good save from Speel. The contest just lacked a moment of quality to settle it either way on a night when the pre-match shenanigans provided the drama. BOHEMIANS: Chorazka; Power, Hickey Todd, Mullen; Devoy, Flores (McDonnell 75) ; Myers (Strods 75), Tierney, Parsons (Vaughan 82); Whelan.

David McNamara: Middle East conflict raises inflation, reshaping central bank policy for 2026
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East and its impact on energy markets raises significant uncertainty in the outlook for inflation and growth in 2026. In percentage terms, the ramp-up in oil prices is akin to the shock in 2022, but back then, oil peaked at about $130 per barrel. This week, the war will remain front and centre, with markets keeping a close eye on several central bank meetings, as the US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and European Central Bank announce their latest policy decisions. Interest rate expectations have risen in response to the conflict, as the risk of another inflation shock emerges due to higher energy prices. While not quite enough to knock the European economy into recession, this would be a material shock to growth if replicated in 2026.

Gerry Adams may have 'deluded' himself over IRA membership, court hears
Gerry Adams may have "spectacularly deluded" himself into thinking he was not in the Provisional IRA by virtue of his leadership role, the British High Court has heard. Mr Adams denies ever being in the Provisional IRA and is defending the claim. He said his interest in Mr Adams was "sparked by the direction" in which he seemed to be taking the Provisional IRA. The court heard this included members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch but also former and serving members of the Provisional IRA who had allegedly known Mr Adams from the start of his IRA and Provisional IRA membership. 'Desperate'Edward Craven, for Mr Adams, put to Mr Ware that he was "desperate" for this evidence to be part of the case.

Mikel Arteta believes Max Dowman's exuberance can help inspire Arsenal
Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal will be inspired by Max Dowman's youthful exuberance as they chase silverware on four fronts. Arteta is deciding whether to involve the 16-year-old wonderkid in Tuesday's Champions League tie against Bayer Leverkusen at Emirates Stadium after he made history against Everton on Saturday. Arsenal face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday and with the season approaching the decisive phase, Arteta insists Dowman can lift the team through his energy. “I didn't expect that kind of goal, that's for sure, but his attitude and his decision making, yes. “When you come to this stage in the competition, you really have to elevate your game to a different level, collectively and individually,” Arteta said.
