Aston Martin to hike pay for thousands of UK workers
Aston Martin will raise annual pay for thousands of workers across the UK after reaching a new long-term agreement following union talks. Simon Smith, chief people officer of Aston Martin, added: 'Achieved through our positive working relationship with trade union colleagues, this new agreement recognises our commitment to putting people at the very heart of our organisation and making Aston Martin a great place to work. The pay deal comes as in a shake-up of its operations, Aston Martin has been winding down production on certain models, while gearing up to release new ones. Aston Martin last month posted a larger-than-anticipated loss, amid a 63 per cent fall in sales of its lucrative DBX SUV. Aston Martin's total average selling price for the period was £253,000, up from £213,000 a year ago, boosted by 'specials' deliveries of the £3.5million Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider and its old-school £1.5million Valour supercar.

Boyle LEA recount complete as one of the two Fine Gael candidates eliminated from race
Following the completion of a full recount of the Boyle Local Electoral Area, Dympna Daly-Finn, one of the Fine Gael candidates left in the race, has been eliminated. Following the distribution of Leah Cull’s surplus of 10 votes in the 9th count, both she and her party colleague, outgoing councillor Liam Callaghan have lost two votes following the recount due to them not being stamped. The day long recount left Callaghan on 993 and Daly Flynn on 990, and she has now been eliminated. Her votes will now be distributed among the remaining candidates of Fianna Fail newcomer Sean Moylan (FF) who is on 1,581 votes, outgoing Independent Councillor Tom Crosby (1,256), Independent Ireland’s Paul Forde (1,053) and Liam Callaghan (993). Three of the six seats have already been filled by outgoing Independent councillor Valerie Beirne, Sinn Fein’s Leah Cull and Independent candidate Micheal Frain.

Five key talking points as the Republic of Ireland prepare to face Portugal
Five key talking points as the Republic of Ireland prepare to face PortugalBy Damian Spellman, PAInterim boss John O’Shea will once again lead the Republic of Ireland in Tuesday evening’s testing friendly against Euro 2024 finalists Portugal. Here, we have a look at some of the talking points surrounding the game. If the Republic lacked defensive solidity during much of Kenny’s time at the helm, creativity dwindled as the end approached. Cristiano Ronaldo may be a household name around the world, but the 39-year-old is particularly familiar to O’Shea. Ireland too have memories of Ronaldo, but not as fond as those of their interim boss.

Shot in the arm for GSK as £1.2bn respiratory jab Arexvy is approved for a younger age group
GSK’s blockbuster respiratory jab has been approved for a younger age group in a boost for the drugmaker over rival Pfizer. The vaccine protects against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which causes cold-like symptoms but can be dangerous for the elderly, newborn babies and vulnerable people. Arexvy was the world’s first RSV jab when it launched in the US last year but it faces competition from alternatives made by Pfizer and Moderna. Yesterday’s announcement makes the £1.2billion vaccine the first RSV jab endorsed for the under-60s by the FDA. Arexvy brought in about £1.2billion in sales last year, beating the £699m in revenue that Pfizer’s rival drug generated.

Cristiano Ronaldo to be unleashed for Portugal in Ireland friendly
We need to have training, so I don’t know if they will start or finish the game, but Pepe, Ruben and Ronaldo will have minutes. “Players need to play minutes, have connections, enjoy the game, work on collective concepts. “They are players who had very good periods in the national team and the next step is the next game against Ireland. He said: “Ireland is a new team, the coach arrived with new ideas, the players are executing his ideas clearly. “Defensively, they are a very well-organised team, but they also have the ability to attack quickly and work very well on dead balls.

Carlos Alcaraz dreaming of catching Novak Djokovic after third Grand Slam title
Carlos Alcaraz dreaming of catching Novak Djokovic after third Grand Slam titleBy Andy Sims, PA, ParisCarlos Alcaraz is an eighth of the way towards Novak Djokovic’s haul of 24 grand slam titles and is already dreaming of catching the Serbian superstar. Alcaraz captured his third major crown, and his first French Open title, when he beat Alexander Zverev in a five-set marathon on Sunday. The 21-year-old certainly has time on his side as Djokovic was 24 when he claimed his third grand slam win, at Wimbledon in 2011. Before facing this final, he told me how I’m going to fight for a third grand slam title, with everything you have been through, and you know the difficult part of winning a grand slam – and Djoko has 24! I just want to keep going, and let’s see how many grand slams I’m going to take at the end of my career.
