Lampard, a Chelsea legend and the club's all-time leading goalscorer from his playing days, enjoyed an 18-month spell as manager between 2019 and 2021. Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Butt said: "Do you think if Frank Lampard gets promotion with Coventry they could go back in for Frank? "It wouldn’t be a stupid thing to go and get Frank Lampard back in charge of Chelsea for me. I think Lampard would find it easier working with better players, it would be easier for him to get his messages across to more technical players.

James Horan says teams still not exploiting full attacking scope of new rules
Teams have still not explored all the attacking possibilities of the new rules, according to Football Review Committee member James Horan. “It was a game where I thought both teams were conservative in how they attacked,” said Horan. They cut back and took the safe option.”Speaking after the game, Galway manager Pádraic Joyce was critical of how “pedestrian” they were in attack. “There are so many different things. It is predictable the way Galway attacked; if they added that bit of variety, they would become a different beast.”

Stress and burnout fuelling teacher retention crisis, says Birr’s Michael Gillespie
Michael Gillespie, General Secretary of the TUI and a former teacher of Physics, Science and Maths at St Brendan’s Community School in BirrStress and burnout fuelling teacher retention crisis, says Birr’s Michael GillespieMichael Gillespie, General Secretary of the TUI and a former teacher of Physics, Science and Maths at St Brendan’s Community School in Birr, has said that stress and burnout are two of the leading causes of the teacher retention crisis. The Teachers of Ireland Survey 2026 by schooldays.ie has revealed growing concerns about workload, resources, and whether teachers’ voices are being heard by policymakers. A total of 1,838 responses were received to the question of whether teachers feel their voices are heard by government and policymakers. In too many cases, stress and burnout are driving these highly qualified graduates away," said Mr Gillespie. However, there is no room for complacency given the myriad pressures and demands facing teachers in increasingly complex school and societal contexts.

The court heard evidence from a garda witness of purported threats made to contractors working at the demolition site. No formal complaint was made to the garda in respect of the alleged incidents, the court heard. The haulage company withdrew their services as a result, the court heard.

World's largest broadcasters push for EU regulations on smart TV assistants
The world’s largest broadcasters have pushed for the EU to enforce its toughest regulations against virtual TVs and smart assistants built by Google, Amazon, Apple, and Samsung. The call came in a letter from the Association of Commercial Television and Video on Demand Services in Europe (ACT). The letter argues that big tech companies have growing control over the operating systems of smart TVs and voice assistants. They say this allows them to act as “gatekeepers” funnelling users towards some content and away from others. These systems, built into many smart TVs, stand to shape how millions of users consume television.

Government leaders agree cuts of 15c on petrol and 20c on diesel
The Tánaiste will bring forward proposals to Tuesday's Cabinet meeting to cut excise duty on diesel by 20c per litre and excise duty on petrol by 15c until the end of May. The National Oil Reserves Agency (Nora) levy will also be paused for two months, reducing it from 2c to zero. The scrapping of the Nora levy will result in a cut of Government levies of 17c on petrol and 22c on diesel. It is understood that transport minister Darragh O’Brien secured “significant supports” for hauliers, coach operators, and motorists — with flexibility built into the response as the situation continues to evolve. Smaller petrol stations, which received deliveries less frequently, “may take several days before the reduced costs are passed through”.

Cork's Diarmuid Healy out for at least five more weeks
Cork half-forward Diarmuid Healy is facing at least another five weeks on the sideline, manager Ben O’Connor confirmed on Monday night. Healy lined out in the early League wins over Waterford and Tipperary, but was absent for the victory away to Kilkenny, the defeat to Limerick, and last Saturday’s annihilation of Offaly. “He'll have another four or five weeks ahead of him at least, but we won't know more until he's scanned. It's the first time that he is sitting out and watching fellas training, so it is not nice for him. Casting an eye to Sunday week, O’Connor said Cork will be travelling to Limerick gung-ho on defending their League title.

Peter Vandermeersch controversy illustrates AI challenge more vividly than anything he wrote
Mediahuis senior journalist Peter Vandermeersch, who was suspended after he admitted putting 'words in people’s mouths' when using artificial intelligence software in some of his work. Photograph: Steve HumphreysUntil last October, Peter Vandermeersch was one of the most powerful figures in Irish media. First as publisher and then chief executive of Mediahuis Ireland, he was responsible for operations and strategy at the country’s largest newspaper group. During his time running Mediahuis Ireland, Vandermeersch cultivated a public profile as a straight-talking, clear-eyed Belgian unafraid to confront the harsh truths facing the business but committed to protecting quality journalism. The false quotes, he explains, were taken from summaries and queries generated by AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Notebook.

Man Utd wonderkid billed as 'next Bukayo Saka' suffers huge injury blow
Mantato, 18, sustained the injury after coming on as a substitute for the Under-21s against Chelsea at the beginning of the month. And The Manchester Evening News report that the talented teenager is currently wearing a protective boot and his season is effectively over. Should United's crop of promising youngsters advance, they could meet Manchester City in a mini-Manchester derby final at The Etihad, albeit without Mantato. He initially played as a left-back in academy matches, but gradually transitioned to primarily playing on the right wing, and his style of play has already drawn comparisons with Bukayo Saka, who also began his career as a defender. Mantato was then selected for the United States tour party, and made his first-team bow against Wolves in December.

Metabolic Enzyme Identified as Selective Vulnerability in APC-Deficient Cancer Cells
The underlying mechanism is linked to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) following ALDH2 inhibition. The findings suggest that APC-deficient cells rely on ALDH2 to manage metabolic stress, making them particularly vulnerable when this pathway is disrupted. In contrast, cells with intact APC function show reduced sensitivity to ALDH2 inhibition, highlighting a selective dependency that could be exploited therapeutically. As an enzyme, ALDH2 represents a more accessible target for drug development compared to many genetic drivers of cancer. These results contribute to a growing body of work focused on identifying metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer cells.
