Classic Lough stock with great views
Carisbrook, at no 1, Fairy Ville, Lough Rd, in Cork city, is in a super-convenient location, so this three-bedroom, semi-detached house could well be someone’s happily-ever-after home. The family home has been “very well cared for and is extremely warm and cosy”, notes selling agent Michael Downey, of ERA Downey McCarthy. The ample bay window takes in a huge arc of the Lough and the bird island, which should inspire anyone to walk the lake perimeter regularly. “There are bus stops within 50m of the property, so transport links are great, and you’re within walking distance of primary and secondary schools and UCC — and the city centre is just 2km away. And there are at least four primary and two secondary schools within a kilometre, and a bus stop only 50m away.

Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham: Igor Tudor shows there IS life left in his Spurs tenure but soft, meek Reds roll over again with shambolic late equaliser that edges Arne Slot closer to Anfield exit, writes I
There is some life left in his spell as Tottenham interim manager yet, life in his team’s season perhaps. But as time wore on, so the feeling grew that there was something in this game for Tottenham. Not brilliant, but better, and Richarlison – starting his first league game since early January and booed throughout as a former Everton player – had been a nuisance throughout. Tottenham looked like a team and that’s a step forward in itself, no matter how strange it sounds. Here last April Slot’s Liverpool beat Tottenham 5-1 to clinch their first title in front of a crowd for 35 years.

Ireland U20s secure Triple Crown with dominant win over Scotland
Ireland U20 47 Scotland U20 14Ireland collected a second Six Nations Triple Crown of the weekend as the men’s under-20s swept their Scottish counterparts aside with a dominant performance in Cork on Sunday. Ireland scrum-half Christopher Barrett snuffed out any thoughts of a Scottish fightback with his try on 75 minutes and replacement prop Christian Foley rounded off a great afternoon. The first half had been largely one-way traffic as Ireland made the most of their possession and thwarted whatever Scotland threw at them to build an impressive 28-0 lead by half-time. The Irish pack set a maul with flanker Blaney peeling off down the blindside, where he fed Maguire for the finish, Wood converting. It was Ireland who had the last laugh though as scrum-half Barrett claimed his team’s sixth try of the game as Wood completed his sixth conversion.
