General Election delays Marks & Spencer flagship store again
Marks & Spencer will have to wait months for a decision on plans for its flagship London store after the General Election created a fresh delay. The High Street retailer wants to raze and rebuild its Oxford Street store and last month said it was hopeful ministers would approve its plans 'very, very soon'. M&S argues its store will revitalise Oxford Street, which has been plagued by tacky candy shops. He accused him of 'an anti-business approach, choking off growth and denying Oxford Street of thousands of new quality jobs'. The redevelopment has been supported by businesses such as department store Selfridges and furniture retailer Ikea.

Counting to resume as Government tries to dampen general election speculation
David Young, PACounting will resume in the local and European elections later, with the first winning candidates in the European election poll set to be declared. Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Greens will undoubtedly be at least considering the option of calling an earlier-than-expected general election after performing better than many pollsters had predicted. Counting in the European election began on Sunday and only one of the three constituencies – Dublin – has completed its first count. The third election last Friday saw voters in Limerick given the opportunity to select what will be the State’s first directly elected mayor. Counting in the Limerick mayoral contest will begin on Monday, with tallies indicating that independent candidate John Moran is in the lead.

History-maker Carlos Alcaraz beats Alexander Zverev in epic French Open final
History-maker Carlos Alcaraz beats Alexander Zverev in epic French Open finalBy Andy Sims, PA, ParisCarlos Alcaraz made history and gained a measure of Spanish revenge by beating Alexander Zverev in five sets to win a first French Open title. Fourth seed Zverev had sent old warrior Nadal out on his shield for probably the last time in the first round. But Alcaraz was suddenly missing more often than his opponent and Zverev reeled off five games, saving a break point at 6-5, to move ahead. A tired service game from Zverev, who has spent almost 24 hours on court this fortnight, gave Alcaraz the early advantage. ‘Carlos, Carlos’ chanted the crowd on Philippe Chatrier in scenes usually only reserved for 14-time winner Nadal.

It will take ‘a miracle’ to finish first count in Ireland South by Sunday night
Irish deputy premier Micheal Martin said that it was making for a “really fascinating contest” for the three final seats in Ireland South. As the ballot papers are quite long, an initial “sub-sort” took place at Nemo Rangers count centre in Co Cork on Sunday. But despite having the same number of candidates and count staff as last year, it was “unlikely” that the first count would be complete on Sunday. There were five MEPs elected to the Ireland South constituency in 2019: Mr Kelly and Deirdre Clune for Fine Gael, Mr Kelleher for Fianna Fail, Ms O’Sullivan and Mr Wallace of Independents4Change. Of the 23 candidates in Ireland South, seven are independents and three are from new parties.
