Keats got a lot right in his Odes. He really did know how to evoke the human experience through language.  Even in my Spandex-soaked yoga class, his writing reverberates in my ear. Okay, maybe not an exact quote, but it’s bloody close enough. I have recently become the proud owner of my very own yoga mat. Throw on a pair of leggings, give me a stick of incense, I’m a fully fledged yogi now.  Why yoga, I hear you ask? Well, apparently exercise is good for your health and wellbeing. But I know myself.  And trying to get me to lift heavy things in a sticky gym or run on a treadmill under fluorescent lights, is a losing battle.  Firstly, that lighting doesn’t flatter anyone. Secondly, you can’t shock your body too much. I could well combust at the sight of a squat rack.  But exercise where I’m basically sitting...

The comedian led US late-night chat show hosts offering their reaction after Mr Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, with Stephen Colbert noting the “deep shock and sense of loss is enormous” and Seth Meyers calling Mr Trump a “bad person”. Meanwhile the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! kicked off his monologue noting that the choice for US president came down to a prosecutor and a criminal, “and we chose the criminal”. “More than half of this country voted for the criminal who is planning to pardon himself for his crimes. I guess this election wasn’t rigged,” he joked. Becoming emotional, Kimmel continued: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech. “It was a terrible night for poor people,...

“You get three hots and a cot. That’s the old saying,” says a woman in the documentary series Women Locked Up: Inside the Dóchas, referring to the regular meals and a bed afforded to women in the Dóchas Centre, Ireland’s largest all-female prison. “You come in, you get well. It’s insanity – you do it all over again. That’s the power of addiction, doing the same thing over and over again, and getting the same results.”  The woman in prison, whose name is withheld, was without a mother from the age of four, she tells the Virgin Media One series. She spent her childhood moving around care homes. She started using heroin at 13 years of age, becoming part of a gang of about 15 homeless kids who roamed Dublin’s city streets. Most of them are dead now. She entered treatment aged 16, and worked as a care attendant in...

The mother of the young man who was the victim of violent disorder by Kyle Hayes has spoken out after the Limerick hurler was awarded a GAA All-Star. Elaine McCarthy, mother of Cillian McCarthy, who was the victim of violent disorder by Kyle Hayes in 2019, said it was “absolutely disgusting” that Hayes received the award. “The GAA standing over this type of behaviour, it’s unbelievable,” Ms McCarthy said. It was indicated that the off-field issues regarding the five-time All-Ireland-winning hurler were not raised during the discussion as to whether he would be given the award.  Last year, Hayes was convicted of two counts of violent disorder.  Hayes had pleaded not guilty to two violent disorder charges and one charge of assault causing harm to Cillian McCarthy in and outside the Icon nightclub in Limerick on October 28, 2019. However, he was convicted by a jury at Limerick Circuit Criminal...

What does sensitive skin mean to you? For some it is consistent discomfort and irritation, whilst for others it is redness or the occasional flare-up.  Studies have revealed that 71% of adults have sensitive skin, a number that has risen over the past two decades – illustrating a rising issue in skincare. When it comes to sensitive skin, most can agree that finding products that don’t irritate is a challenge and trying new ingredients can be anxiety-inducing – after all, who wants to trigger sore, uncomfortable skin?  Thankfully, many skincare brands have taken into account the large segment of the population who struggle with sensitive skin and developed products specifically for skin that needs a softer approach over the past few years.  Teamed with the trend for barrier first products, the skincare market now offers many products and formulations aimed at caring and soothing sensitive skin.  Not simply remedies for...

By late on Tuesday or early on Wednesday, we may know who is going to be the next president of the United States. Or we may know that we don’t yet know. Or we may know who’s been projected as the winner but be bracing ourselves for weeks of legal action and protest. It’s going to be that sort of night. A reminder of the basics: whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris is the next president will be decided by the electoral college, rather than a straight count of the national vote – meaning that the winner will be the person who gets to a simple majority of 270 of the 538 electors on offer across the 50 states, whether or not they get more votes than their opponent nationwide. That means that the result is quite likely to come down to who prevails in the seven battleground states identified...

A Cork publican has had debts of more than €58m written off as part of a High Court-approved personal insolvency arrangement. John Gaffney, of Mountain Lodge, Ballyleigh, Waterfall, Co Cork, was a major property investor in the Celtic Tiger boom years before the global financial crash began in 2008, the High Court was told. Court documents showed that Mr Gaffney had total debts of €59,439,493, far greater than the value of his assets. His creditors include Nama, Bank of Ireland, Pepper, Mars Capital Finance Ireland DAC, and Everyday Finance DAC. Barring one investment property in Monard, Co Tipperary, all of Mr Gaffney’s investments had been sold already, the High Court heard.

Storms in eastern Spain that led to massive flooding last week and killed more than 200 people, mostly near Valencia, have now dumped rain on Barcelona, prompting authorities to suspend commuter rail services. Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente said he was suspending all commuter trains in north-east Catalonia, a region with a population of eight million, on request from civil protection officials. Mobile phones in Barcelona issued an alert over “extreme and continued rainfall” on the southern outskirts of the city. The alert urged people to avoid any normally dry gorges or canals. Yellow and amber weather warnings were in place for parts of Valencia and neighbouring Catalonia with people in the affected areas advised to stay off the roads and keep away from the coast and rivers. Mr Puente said that the rains had forced air traffic controllers to change the course of 15 flights operating at Barcelona’s airport,...
