Man whose wife died four hours after delivering baby settles High Court action for €1.9m
The husband of a 28-year-old woman who died just four hours after delivering her baby at Mayo University Hospital has settled for €1.9 million High Court actions over her death. The couple had planned to have more children and buy a home in Ireland—their mortgage offer came in two days after Ms Tariq’s death. The inquest heard Ms Tariq died after a heart attack following post-partum haemorrhage, retained placenta, bleeding arising from ectopic deciduosis, and shock. Despite extensive emergency resuscitative efforts just four hours after delivering her baby daughter, Ms Tariq died. The review into Ms Tariq’s death found her skin pallor was “initially less obvious” due to her ethnicity.

Network of criminal gangs may be behind €21m cocaine haul on cargo ship in Limerick
‘Significant amount of cocaine’ found on ship in Limerick port20,000 tonne vessel arrived at Foynes at around 10.30am Tuesday morningCocaine worth €21m discovered on cargo ship in Limerick ‘set to be picked up by another vessel’Gardaí suspect that a €21 million haul of cocaine, found on a cargo ship at Foynes Port in Co Limerick, was a shipment organised by a network of criminal gangs rather than one single criminal entity. Around 300kg of cocaine, which would be worth even more on the street, was seized by Revenue customs services officials, on board the Verila, a Maltese bulk cargo vessel registered in Valletta, Malta. The 20848 tonne ship left Montreal, Canada, on December 9, arriving at Foynes on Tuesday, according to the marine traffic monitoring system. The bulk carrier that was also carrying a legitimate cargo of grain remained in the custody of Revenue customs services officials and gardaí today. It is the second large cocaine seizure in the State in a few months.

THREE OF THE BESTGalway LGFA champions continue to make historyIT WAS a weekend of contrasting emotions for Galway clubs on the national stage, with Croke Park highlighting the agony and ecstasy that can come with competing on All-Ireland final day. The unstoppable force that are the Kilkerrin-Clonberne ladies footballers once again produced on the big occasion to take a third Dolores Tyrrell Cup back to North Galway. Roll of honour leader Ballymacarbry, who themselves dominated ladies club football from the late 1980s and 1990s, proved no match. Even if a late scoring flurry put some respectability on the final scoreline.

New Covid-19 ‘variant of interest’ on rise in Ireland amid fears it will increase infections
A new Covid-19 variant of interest which could lead to a rise in infections this winter has been detected in Ireland. The World Health Organisation said today it is classifying JN.1 a variant of interest. "Despite this, with the onset of winter in the northern hemisphere, JN.1 could increase the burden of respiratory infections in many countries." It said that due to its rapidly increasing spread, WHO is classifying the variant JN.1 as a separate variant of interest (VOI) from the parent lineage BA.2.86. WHO advises people to take measures to prevent infections and severe disease using all available tools.

20 Dec 2023| 06:09am ISTEntire Sunburn area asked to be ‘preferably’ a no-smoking zone28 conditions include submission of a list of all Visa types of performing artistesTeam HeraldPANJIM: Among the 28 conditions laid down by the Tourism Department for the organiser of the Sunburn EDM festival, there’s an interesting clause where the entire Sunburn area is asked to be “preferably” a no smoking zone. With the word ‘preferably’ in place, it is unlikely that this clause will be even looked at. Among the conditions are that the entire festival area should be preferably a no-smoking zone, approach the traffic cell for effective traffic management and parking for the entire area and communicate the same to the department. The organisers will have to submit a Disaster Management Plan and drawings of stages and structure stability report. The volunteers be provided ID cards, and reflective jackets for crowd management, parking management etc and their credentials/background be verified from the security point of view.
