IF you want to feel a bit better about yourself on the beach, cut down on eating bad stuff and get yourself moving, says personal trainer Laura Williams.

A ‘PREDATOR’ wanted for questioning by gardai over the suspected murder of Dublin woman Linda Christian (29) is in his native Romania, sources revealed last night.

The man is wanted in relation to the violent death of Ms Christian, whose badly decomposed remains were found in undergrowth in the Coolmine area of the capital on Monday.

Sources said the “vulnerable” woman had been “taken advantage” of by the man, who she met several months ago.

“Gardai know this man is in Romania. The indications are that he was a predator and he is considered a person of interest in this tragic case,” a source said last night.

HOSPITAL

A post-mortem carried out on Ms Christian’s remains proved inconclusive.

Gardai appealed on July 3 for information in relation to her disappearance. She had been reported missing on June 24, and when last seen she was wearing a green bomber jacket and blue jeans and carrying a pink gym bag.

Sources said she was being treated in hospital at the time of her disappearance.

Gardai again appealed for information last Wednesday and also on Saturday.

It has emerged since the discovery of Ms Christian’s body that she was a vulnerable young woman preyed upon and taken

affection. In February 2008, Mr Christian died suddenly of a heart attack.

The family continued to live in Ongar until the children grew up and moved on with their lives.

In November 2012, Mrs Christian sold the house and moved to Wexford.

“Linda had moved out at this stage. She left when she was around 18, but she came back to live in the area and she would be spotted around Ongar,” said a local resident.

advantage of by people who saw her as a soft touch.

Neighbours and residents in the Dublin 15 addresses where she lived said they feel she was failed by the system of care in Ireland and should have been more protected by the State.

She was fostered by the Christian family early in life and spent the first few years with them, living in their home on Hadleigh Green in Castleknock.

Foster father Myles Christian, who was from the UK, was a lecturer in the department of civil engineering at UCD, while foster mother Jackie was a Dubliner.

SHAME

The Christians had a family of their own, but as one person who knew them well said, they were comfortable and wanted to share what they had with others.

“They fostered many children and they were devoted to their own children and any other children they took in,” said a neighbour.

The family later moved to the newly-built Ongar estate in Clonee and Ms Christian moved with them.

In Blackwood Crescent, Ongar, the Christians continued to raise their own and fostered children with love, care and

“The Christians did as much as anyone could have done in helping her, but in the end Linda seemed to be let down by the system.

“It’s a terrible shame. She just seemed to be vulnerable.”

The house where Ms Christian spent the last years of her life was not far from Blackwood Crescent. It was in Manor Place, Ongar, and is thought to have been supplied either through the local authority or the HSE. Neighbours said groups of people had taken advantage of her, and there would regularly be trouble at the house.

“I knew when she went missing that it was going to be bad news,’’ said local man Derek Armstrong. ‘‘If she got the care that she was supposed to get, this might not have happened.”

SOMELIKEITHOT Power outage means ice cream delayed in Howth ... but others soak up the rays Gavin White TOURISTS seeking ice cream in the sun in Howth were left wanting yesterday after an inconvenient power outage on another day of blistering sunshine.

Jonathan Cook, who runs Ann’s ice cream shop in the popular seaside town, said the business only got back up and running just before 4pm, losing out on a bumper trade.

He said they “depend on the weather in the summertime” and the power cut came at the worst possible time.

MACHINE

“Luckily, I had done the donkey work the night before in terms of setting up the ice cream machine so once the power was turned back on it took around 40 minutes to get back up and running,” he told the Herald.

Jonathan said a generator would have cost him €1,200 so it would have been unsuitable for just one morning.

The ice cream man was up

until 1am getting everything ready in order to take advantage of the weather.

He said as the ice cream parlour reopened its doors, a queue of sweet-toothed tourists were waiting to get their hands on a refreshing treat.

Businesses and residents in parts of Howth were warned

by ESB Networks of planned outages between 9am and 5pm.

A statement from ESB Networks acknowledged the in-

convenience it had caused customers, including businesses, and thanked them for their co-operation.

While the outage caused headaches for some, it was another day for care-free fun in the sun as temperatures soared to 22C in the capital.

In Co Roscommon the country’s highest temperature was recorded – 25C – a figure also reached in parts of Donegal.

However, the brief hot spell will not last with this morning giving way to scattered showers in places during the day, while “thunder could happen”, according to John Eagleton, forecaster with Met Eireann.

Thursday and Fri-day will be “fresh, blustery days with sunny spells and passing showers”.

Going into the weekend, Mr Eagleton said heavy showers will occur on Saturday but warm, clear weather returns on Sunday.

Teenager(17)drownsafterjumpingintoShannon Kathy Armstrong A YOUTH has drowned after getting into trouble while swimming in the River Shannon.

The incident happened at Tarmon Harbour, in Tarmonbarry, on the border between Co Longford and Co Roscommon.

A group of young people were enjoying the warm weather at the harbour before 6pm yesterday when tragedy struck.

It is understood the 17-yearold boy jumped into the water and got into difficulty.

Locals said it appeared the friends of the youngster, who is understood to be from the New-

townforbes area, tried to help him with the aid of a life ring.

“It seems like he jumped in and suffered a cramp or something,” a local woman said.

“They threw a ring to him and he seemed to grab on to it at first, but then went under.”

She said some of his friends entered the water to try and help. Rescue crews, aided by locals, launched a rescue operation. A man with a boat eventually pulled the youngster from the bed of the river. It is understood he had been in the water for at least 20 minutes.

His body was placed in a ambulance before his distaught

parents arrived at the scene.

Locals said the area was a popular spot with youngsters during warm weather.

However, they said children were given warnings to deter them from entering the water.

BATTLED

“It’s a private marina but the kids do come down and jump in,” said a local.

A woman described the scene as the youngster’s friends battled to save his life.

“They did exactly what you’re meant to do,” she said.

“They threw a ring out to him and two of the boys jumped in,

more than two, but they just couldn’t save him. He was a big lad.”

Locals organised a minibus to take the boy’s friends away from the scene.

Meanwhile, a warning has been issued after a potential killer fish with an “excruciating sting” stung a number of people at a popular swimming spot.

Irish Water Safety has advised that anyone going to the beach at Brittas Bay needs to be wary of the weever fish and said they are most commonly found at low tide. A number of stings have been reported inflicted by the small sandy-coloured fish.

THESMILINGDOUB Double murderer Frank McCann smirking as he enjoys temporary freedom while being walked from the prison

Frank McCann murdered his wife and baby foster daughter by burning down their home, but is now being given a taste of freedom, reports ConorFeehan

THIS is smirking double murderer Frank McCann getting a taste of life outside Arbour Hill Prison, where he is serving a life sentence for torching his wife and 18-month-old foster child to death when he set fire to their house.

Almost 25 years since the Dublin publican set his own Rathfarnham home ablaze, killing wife Esther and little Jessica, McCann has started a new job at the jail, cleaning the prison officers’ quarters.

This sees him walked from the prison, out onto the public street, and into the area used by officers further down the street.

McCann, who has expressed no remorse for his evil crime, is not handcuffed while outside the jail, but is accompanied by a prison officer.

Our exclusive pictures show a smirking McCann, casually dressed in summer sports clothes, talking animatedly with a prison officer as he enjoyed temporary freedom.

“He doesn’t engage with the rehabilitation services, doesn’t show any remorse, and considers himself a step above the other prisoners, looking down on them,” said one source.

TRUST

“His new job is seen as a recognition of trust, in that he gets to step outside the gates unrestrained, even though there is an officer with him.”

In September 1992, McCann knew that a secret from his sordid past was about to become known to his family, as authorities were doing background checks as part of their application to adopt toddler Jessica.

The fact that the swimming coach had fathered a child with a 17-year-old girl with special needs was about to become known and ruin his reputation, so McCann made the sick and twisted decision to kill Esther and Jessica to hide the truth.

Esther (36) had no idea of the double life her husband of five years was living, or of his plan to keep it a secret.

Nor did she have any notion of the sex-abuse scandal that was about to unfold around two of her husband’s close friends, national swimming coaches George Gibney and Derry O’Rourke.

The pair, who were often entertained in her home by McCann, would both subsequently be charged with a string of sexabuse offences against young swimmers in their charge.

In 1993, Gibney was charged with 27 counts of indecent assault and unlawful carnal

knowledge. When a young swimmer first revealed that she had been abused by Gibney, it was Frank McCann she confided in.

McCann defended Gibney against the allegations and Gibney left the country in 1993.

He has never been extradited.

Derry O’Rourke abused more than a dozen young women and was arrested and charged with 90 counts of indecent assault, sexual assault and unlawful carnal knowledge in 1995.

He was jailed in 1997 and served nine years of a 12-year sentence.

In the autumn of 1992, McCann, a former competitive swimmer who coached young athletes, had just returned from the Barcelona Olympics with the Irish swimming team.

The little girl, Jessica, that McCann and Esther planned to adopt was the daughter of Frank’s adopted sister, Jeanette, who grew up with him, his brothers and parents in Terenure.

Jeanette, then aged around 18, had asked Frank and Esther to adopt Jessica shortly after her birth in March 1991.

She and Jessica lived with the couple for a few months, and in May 1991 they applied to adopt her.

Later, Esther told her sister that she planned on having it out with Frank over unexplained delays in their application to adopt Jessica.

She was not aware that McCann was stalling because it would reveal the real truth about his double life.

By September 1992, as far as Esther knew, there was still no decision from the Adoptions Board, and Esther repeatedly rang for news of the application.

Finally, she was given an appointment for September 7. Getting that appointment would prove fatal – the net was closing in on her husband’s double life.

It later emerged that McCann had fathered a baby son with a 17-year-old swimming student who had special needs.

Unknown to Esther, the baby was born just three months after she married him.

‘He doesn’t engage with the rehabilitation services or show any remorse ’

Father Michael Cleary had stepped in to organise the baby’s adoption and keep the matter hidden, but, on hearing about McCann’s application to adopt Jessica, the mother of the teenage girl complained to the Adoptions Board. The application was rejected.

At the time of the fire, McCann was reportedly having a sexual relationship with another teenage girl, a 16-year-old.

Gardai and Esther’s family believe that McCann tried to kill her and Jessica three times prior to setting fire to their home on Butterfield Avenue.

Esther once woke to find an electric blanket burning at the end of her bed.

On another occasion, she had to leave the house with Jessica due to a suspected gas leak. It was later found the leak had been caused by somebody deliberately separating the gas points beneath floorboards.

BLAZE

Esther also once drove her car away from her sister’s house only to find that the brakes weren’t working. The attempts to kill were always made when Esther was with Jessica.

On the night of September 4, he finally succeeded.

McCann timed a gas cylinder and a blow torch, left them on the hall table and left the house to go to his pub, The Cooperage, in Blessington.

He arrived home when the fire was in full blaze and even attempted to enter the house in an apparent bid to save his wife and foster child.

Following the fire, it quickly emerged that he had made at least three previous attempts to kill them.

During the Garda investigation into the fire, McCann attempted to blame someone with a personal vendetta against him. He also tried to blame his wife, whom he claimed might have been smoking in the house and started the blaze that night.

In fact, in the run-up to the killings, he had concocted a series of fake threats against him and daubed paint on the walls of his pub that said: ‘Burn, you b*****d’.

On the day of the funeral, McCann behaved bizarrely. He insisted that the family shouldn’t wear black, and while being driven to the home of a relative of Esther’s for food following the funeral service, he looked out of the car at local girls and shouted: “I’m a free man!”

That evening, he returned to Dublin to attend a surprise 60th birthday party that he had organised for his mother.

Just weeks later, he went on holiday to California, leaving Esther’s family to pay for the funeral costs, despite having received a payout from the insurance company following the fire.

McCann was arrested and charged in April 1993, around the same time that his pal Gibney was being charged with sexual-abuse offences.

His first trial, in 1994, fell apart when he tried to set fire to himself with a gas lighter in a toilet at the Four Courts. It was 1996 before a second trial got under way.

GUILTY

In August that year, McCann was found guilty and sentenced to two concurrent life sentences for the murders.

Twenty-five years later, he continues to do time at Arbour Hill, where he previously worked alongside killer Malcolm McArthur in the prison library and completed a degree in computer science, followed by a PhD. Esther’s family have previously said they fear a day will come when he is released. Every

three years he is entitled to seek parole and Esther’s family makes submissions as to why he should be kept behind bars.

“I can’t describe the feeling of being near him,” one relative has said.

Esther’s sister Marian said: “It’s fear mixed with sadness, anger and regret, everything.

You are literally paralysed by his presence.

“He killed Esther and Jessica to maintain his reputation, Possession, ownership and image meant everything to him. It was what he thrived on in swimming circles.

“He had lots of chances to change his mind, and you would think that after three failed attempts he might have given up, but he was absolutely determined to kill.”

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar

Minimum wage set to increase to €9.55 Cillian Sherlock THE minimum wage will increase by 30c an hour from the start of next year, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has confirmed.

The announcement, made yesterday by Mr Varadkar, Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald and Minister of State for Disability Issues Finian McGrath, was based on recommendations from the Low Pay Commission.

Mr Varadkar said the minimum wage will rise to €9.55 per hour from January 1.

“We discussed about 55 different items at the Ccabinet meeting this morning, but one of the items was a report from the Low Pay Commission on the national minimum wage,” he said.”

MODEST

The Taoiseach welcomed the report’s recommendations, which will see a 3.2pc increase in the national minimum wage.

“It’s an increase well ahead of inflation, well ahead of average wage growth in the economy.

It’s modest. It works out at about an extra €12 per week, but it is still an important step in the right direction,” he said.

This will be the second increase to the minimum wage since this Government involving Fine Gael and Independents came to office, with a 10c increase last year.

Mr Varadkar said it will also be the fourth rise in the past five years.

The Taoiseach said the cost mostly falls to employers and that, combined with an increase in income from taxes on wages, the actual cost to the Exchequer “will be quite small”.

Dublin star Bernard praised after making fashion model debut

Sean O’Grady and Melanie Finn

HE’S regarded as one of the most stylish men in Ireland, but there were no jerseys in sight when Bernard Brogan introduced his debut clothing collection.

The Dublin star (33) launched the collection with Littlewoods Ireland’s V by Very range, which is “reflective of his classic sense of style as well as his values”.

Model agent Celia Holman Lee reckons Bernard could have what it takes to make it as a male model – if he learns to use his face more.

PORTFOLIO

Bernard, who is married to PR executive Keira Doyle, already has an impressive business portfolio, including managing his marketing consultancy firm Legacy and a number of lucrative sponsorship roles, but this marks his first foray into fashion.

The 50-piece collection features stylish essentials including suits, active wear and denim.

“This new collection is built around the demands of modern

day life for men, offering a complete wardrobe at an accessible price from a great brand,” said Bernard.

Model boss Celia is certainly a fan.

“He looks really good, I really think so. If he has an interest in the industry, as a tiny bit of criticism, I would say use his face a bit more,” she said.

“He has the same expression in all the photos, but he does look great and he looks fab in the suit as well.”

Celia pointed out that one

of the most important aspects of modelling is making sure you appeal to the brand you’re working with, and she believes Bernard has it down to a tee.

“The clothes look great, they’re sporty, they’re relaxed.

That’s the way the style has gone, really. People are dressing more comfortable and relaxed,” she said.

“He suits the brand very well. He will appeal to the customer.”

While Bernard shows no signs of slowing down his GAA career any time soon, Celia reckons he would make the cut if he hung up his boots for the world of modelling.

“I’d say he wouldn’t do too bad, to be honest, but it would be a certain market,” she told the Herald.

“I think he would do very well for commercial work. I think he would suit that, he’s at that age.”

Bernard was joined by many current and former teammates for his wedding to long-term partner Keira in December.

It took place at the Mount Juliet Hotel in Co Kilkenny, where the couple were joined

by Paul Flynn, Philly McMahon and Stephen Cluxton.

UKlottomillionaire‘hadsex withIrishgirl(15)andbought engagementring’, courttold Andrew Phelan A UK lottery millionaire had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old Irish schoolgirl he met online and bought her a €2,500 designer engagement ring, it has been alleged.

A court was told the now 27-year-old businessman travelled to and from Ireland by ferry, having sex with the teenager in hotels and taking her to Dublin Zoo. According to gardai, he was fully aware of the age of the girl, who was 15 when they first made contact on an internet chat forum and is now 16.

Their alleged relationship began before the accused’s lottery “windfall” and he was arrested when he arrived in Dublin at the weekend to confront the girl’s

mother about “his feelings for her daughter”.

Despite garda objections, Judge Fiona Lydon granted the wealthy British man €200,000 bail under strict conditions and with cash lodgements totalling €150,000.

He is charged with four sample counts of defilement of a child under the age of 17 on dates this year and last.

Gda Stephen Faulkner told Dublin District Court that the alleged victim’s mother made a complaint last January.

The girl told officers she met the accused on an online chat forum, where she was subscribed to an under-17s category. They continued to have contact through Snapchat and WhatsApp, Gda Faulkner said.

The pair first met last year,

stayed in a Dublin city hotel and “engaged in sexual intercourse”.

The girl was 15 and, in “the aftermath”, she told the accused of her age and that it was “her first time”.

This “did not discourage” the accused, the garda alleged. It was the prosecution’s case that he returned to this jurisdiction every four to six weeks.

Their last meeting was last January, when the girl’s parents “unearthed” the alleged relationship, the court heard.

STAY CONNECTED

www.Herald.ie @HeraldNewsdesk Facebook.com/Herald.ie

Gda Faulkner said analysis of the girl’s WhatsApp account revealed 2,970 images – screenshots of conversations and recordings of sexual activity.

The accused bought a ring in a Dublin shopping centre for €2,550, telling the shop assistant it was an engagement ring and he later gave it to the girl, Gda Faulkner said.

IMAGES

When he was arrested last Saturday, the accused was removed from his Audi S5 Quattro and his phone had 69 images of an incriminating nature on it, including five videos featuring him and the alleged victim naked, Gda Faulkner said.

There was also an image of the girl’s scout troop identity card, including her date of

birth. In the image, the girl was in her secondary school uniform.

Gda Faulkner believed that the man would return to the UK if granted bail.

Cross-examined by Seamus Clarke, the officer agreed there was no evidence that the accused tried to disguise his age.

The garda accepted the defendant had the wealth to stay in Ireland.

Judge Lydon said the accused must reside at an agreed address, sign on twice daily at a garda station, observe an 11pm to 8am curfew and be contactable by mobile phone at all times.

He is to have no contact with the alleged victim or her family.

He was remanded in custody with consent to bail, to appear in court again on July 21.

MOREARRESTSPLANNEDAS FINGERPRINTSFOUNDIN€4M CARTELDRUGSANDGUNBUST Ken Foy

operation, sources say that the most important arrest was that of a 44-year-old criminal who lives in the Kinahan cartel’s heartland.

He is an older relative of one of the cartel’s key players and has previously served jail time for violent offences linked to a drug addiction almost two decades ago.

However, sources say that the 44-year-old has now progressed into a “key position” within the organisation.

CRIME CORRESPONDENT

PRESSURE continued to mount on the Kinahan cartel last night, after it emerged that officers had obtained fingerprint and DNA evidence from a house where €4m of drugs and firearms were seized.

Cannabis and heroin, along with drug paraphernalia, a vacuum-packing machine and a cash-counting machine, were found during the raid at a property in Ballyfermot Parade on Monday morning.

PISTOL

A sawn-off shotgun (top), drugs (right) and a pistol were seized.

Weapons were also found at the scene, including stun guns, a sawn-off shotgun and a semi-automatic pistol.

Three suspects – aged between 39 and 46 and from Crumlin and the south inner city – were still being questioned at Clondalkin and Ballyfermot garda stations last night.

It can be now revealed that specialist officers plan more arrests in relation to the massive bust in the coming weeks.

“A full forensic examination of the Ballyfermot property was carried out and this means that DNA and fingerprint evidence has been obtained,” a senior

source said last night.

“This means that gardai may be able to determine who had been using that property before it was raided. This in turn could lead to more arrests later, it is a very significant haul indeed.”

The three men who were still in custody last night are considered “trusted” members of the deadly organisation and the bust is considered “highly significant”.

An international crime organisation, the Kinahan cartel

has been responsible for 10 of the 12 murders in its deadly feud with the Hutch faction.

Last night, sources said that gardai were “unaware” if the major seizure was linked to an alliance between the cartel and the so-called ‘Family’ gang, which is the main drug operator in the Ballyfermot area of the capital.

While a 46-year-old arrested man from Crumlin and a 39-year-old from the south inner city were detained in the

“Out of the three arrested individuals, this is a guy who would be the top priority for gardai, not least because of the position his 32-year-old male relative has in the gang,” a source said.

The bust happened just days after reports emerged that cartel boss Daniel Kinahan (40) had married his long-term lover in Dubai at the weekend.

Last night, senior sources said that gardai could still not confirm the rumour, which is believed to be true by many in underworld circles.

It is understood that many of Daniel’s closest associates, pals and business partners are currently with the cartel kingpin in Dubai.

Boy(3)inseriousconditionafter horrorfallfrom3rd-floorbalcony

Luke Byrne

A HERO dad who came to the aid of a toddler who fell from a third-storey apartment balcony has spoken of the horrifying moments after the shocking incident unfolded.

The three-year-old boy suffered serious injuries after falling from an apartment block in Longford town at around 10.30am yesterday.

Seamus Sheridan (52) and his son Nathan (22) rushed to the aid of the youngster and his mother after the fall at the Cuirt An Oir apartments.

Last night Seamus said he did his best to console the child’s heartbroken mother.

The boy was taken to the Midland Regional Hospital, in Mullingar, before being transferred to Temple Street Children’s Hospital in Dublin.

“Myself and my son came to their aid,” Mr Sheridan told the

Herald. He said his son was in the sitting room/kitchen area of his apartment at around 10.30am yesterday when he heard a bang, which he described as “not loud”.

“There was a lot of screaming and shouting and banging on doors.

“I could hear them crying and everything so I opened my door,” he said.

DEVASTATED

“She said her son had fallen down from the balcony. I’m still devastated,” he said.

Mr Sheridan said he let the mother, and another woman accompanying her, through his door and on to the back patio.

“I looked in and I saw the baby face down. I said to myself ‘he’s dead’.”

“I rang the gardai straight away and my son got on the phone to the ambulance,” he said.

Mr Sheridan said the ambulance crew arrived after 15 minutes.

At this stage the young mother had brought her son to the front of the apartment block.

He described how he tried to console the distraught mother.

“He was opening and closing his eyes, he had his little fingers inside his mouth.

“I was just testing to see if he was breathing,” he said.

“It was terrible to see,” he added. “The girl had the little

baby in her arms. I was trying to comfort her as much as I could.

“I tried to keep her as calm as possible. ‘‘I said ‘relax, stay calm, your baby is going to be OK, there’s help on the way’.”

“She kept saying ‘is my baby going to be OK? Is my baby going to be OK? Please wake up, please wake up’.

“And I said please, stay calm, your baby is going to be fine,” he said.

ACCIDENT

Investigating officers visited the scene yesterday, but it’s understood they are treating the incident as a tragic accident.

Emergency services attended the scene and the boy was rushed to Mullingar’s Midland Regional Hospital.

He remained in a serious condition in hospital in Dublin last night.

Molly murder trial jurors are quizzed on domestic abuse Molly Martens has denied murdering Jason Corbett (below)

Ralph Riegel IN LEXINGTON

PROSPECTIVE jurors in the trial of an American nanny and her father who deny the murder of an Irish dad-of-two have been questioned about their views on domestic violence and what experience, if any, they have of it.

Molly Martens (35) and her father, retired FBI agent Thomas Michael Martens (67), deny the second-degree murder of Jason Corbett (39).

Limerick-born Mr Corbett was found with fatal head injuries on August 2, 2015, at the gated community home in North Carolina where he lived with his second wife, Ms Martens.

She and her father have formally pleaded not guilty and will argue self-defence and the defence of another at their trial before Judge David Lee in Davidson County Superior Court in Lexington, North Carolina.

Voluntary manslaughter charges were dropped by the prosecution at the opening of the trial.

The past two days have focused on the selection process for a jury of 12 from a panel of 143.

Two alternate or possible replacement jurors will also be selected, given the prospective length of the trial.

Yesterday, Judge Lee allowed the State to excuse another five prospective jurors, bringing the number of accepted prospective jurors to four.

Three had been discharged and another five were discharged immediately after lunch yesterday, bringing to eight the total discharges.

Both the prosecution and defence can question prospective jurors about their personal history, family matters and views on a wide range of topics.

All 143 Davidson County residents randomly called for the jury panel were asked to complete a 16-page questionnaire.

Questions included a special section about domestic violence.

A number of prospective jurors were asked about their views on domestic violence and what experience they may have had of it.

Seven of the 12 prospective jurors told Alan Martin, for the Davidson County District Attorney’s Office, that they had some knowledge or experience of domestic violence within their extended families.

One potential juror said he had a cousin who had killed a partner; another said their father had abused their mother; a third left a partner over physical and emotional abuse.

“This case has a domestic component,” Mr Martin said.

“This case obviously has to do with a family where it went down a path – a family relationship went bad in a way where somebody ended up dead.”

BLOOD

Mr Martin also warned that jurors will be expected to view “unpleasant” and potentially upsetting photos, which include both blood and injuries. Two prospective jurors indicated they would not like to view such images.

Another prospective juror, when asked about media coverage of the case, said: “Miss Molly don’t look like what was in the papers.”

The prospective juror insisted they had not formed any opinion, despite having read that the incident may have been linked to a row over money and that Mr Martens was “only trying to protect the daughter”.

The 143 people called for jury service have been split into three groups. The first 50 are required to attend all parts of the jury selection process.

While 12 were randomly selected for initial questioning – eight women and four men – it is not yet certain they will be confirmed as jurors.

JOURNALISTSAYSCLAIMS OVERMCCABEFILE‘FALSE’ Shane Phelan

THE journalist who interviewed the young woman who made a sexual assault allegation against Sgt Maurice McCabe has rejected suggestions he was given a garda file on the case.

Irish Independent correspondent Paul Williams said he was aware of the suggestion but described it as being “completely baseless and false”.

Appearing at the Disclosures Tribunal, Mr Williams also vehemently denied suggestions he was “too close” to Garda Headquarters.

He said he was never briefed

by Garda Commissioner Noirin O’Sullivan, former commissioner Martin Callinan or former Garda press officer David Taylor in relation to rumours which circulated about Sgt McCabe.

Mr Williams said he was contacted directly by Ms D’s father and told she wished to speak to him.

RUMOURS

While he had been aware of “vague rumours” circulating about Sgt McCabe, he did not know what Ms D had alleged against him until he interviewed her in March 2014.

Mr Williams said he did not know where the rumours had come from.

Two articles were published in the Irish Independent the following month referring to an unnamed woman who believed her complaint of sexual assault against an unnamed garda had not been properly investigated.

The tribunal has previously heard how, as a teenager, Ms D complained to gardai in 2006 that she had been molested by Sgt McCabe when she was aged six or seven during a game of hide and seek.

The complaint was investigated but no prosecution was

for Supt Taylor, said his client would be disputing this account of events.

He said Supt Taylor would say Mr Williams phoned him on the day he interviewed Ms D and told him he was at Ms D’s house.

The barrister said his client would claim Mr Williams “did not ask Supt Taylor to confirm anything specific or to confirm or deny any facts in that call”.

Mr Williams said he never called Supt Taylor that day and what the officer was alleging was “totally untrue”.

FLABBERGASTED

Maurice McCabe and his wife Lorraine arrive at the tribunal directed by the DPP. The tribunal is investigating whether there was a conspiracy against Sgt McCabe and if the allegation was used by senior gardai to smear him.

Mr Williams said Ms D was “upset” as media reports of Sgt McCabe’s whistleblowing activity had “brought it all up again”.

Under questioning from tribunal counsel Diarmaid McGuinness, Mr Williams said he did not consult with any senior gardai before going to Ms D’s family home.

Mr McGuinness said a suggestion might be made Mr

‘I never said it, nor have I any knowledge about it... that is not true’

Williams in some way acted as “a puppet of the guards in participating, willingly or otherwise, in a smear campaign relating to Sgt McCabe”.

Mr Williams said: “I have read that extensively and that is absolutely false.”

He added that, about a week after the interview, he contacted Supt Taylor by phone with a series of questions.

He wanted to know had an investigation taken place, what was the decision of the DPP, was there an arrest and was the investigation logged on the Garda Pulse system.

The journalist said Supt Taylor went away to do some research and later came back to him to confirm an investigation took place, a file had been sent to the DPP and no charges were directed.

Mr Williams said there were a number of contacts with the superintendent in relation to his queries.

However, John Ferry, counsel

The tribunal also heard from a garda superintendent who rejected a claim that he alleged Sgt McCabe watched girls coming out of a secondary school.

The claim emerged in the notes of a Garda Ombudsman investigator who interviewed Ms D. According to the note, Ms D alleged Det Supt John O’Reilly told her father, also a garda, that “M McC would go to the local secondary school and watch the young ones coming out of the school”.

Det Supt O’Reilly said he was “absolutely flabbergasted” by the claim.

“I never said it, nor have I any knowledge about it,” he said.

“As far as I am concerned that is not true.”

Earlier this week, the tribunal heard evidence from Ms D’s father that he discussed his daughter’s wish to give an interview to a journalist with Det Supt O’Reilly.

Ms D’s father testified that Det Supt O’Reilly, who was a friend, suggested Paul Williams, as he had dealings with him in past.

However, this account was disputed by Det Supt O’Reilly.

Journalist Paul Williams vehemently denied suggestions that he was ‘too close’ to Garda Headquarters

Teen who died after fall through roof ‘loved by everyone’ Louise Roseingrave

Craig Hanlon McKeon (19)

THE mother of a teenager who died after falling through a roof described her son as a boy who was “loved by everyone.”

Craig Hanlon McKeon (19) died after he fell through the roof of a former steelworks factory in St James’s Street in Dublin. The young man, who loved climbing, was walking along the roof with a friend when it partially collapsed on January 4, 2016.

The fishmonger, from Basin Street flats in Dublin 8, died in hospital the following day.

Speaking after an inquest into his death at Dublin Coroner’s Court, his mother Fiona and relatives paid tribute to Craig, describing him as “a character” who loved sport and was loved by his community.

“He was loving and giving.

He loved his job, he loved sport and was really into his fitness.

Everyone loved him. We are heartbroken,” Fiona McKeon said.

“He was one of the nicest, kindest young men you could meet. He was really good to his mother,” his aunt Susan McKeon said.

The inquest heard evidence from the young man’s friend, Conor Fitzgerald, who said the pair “just loved climbing”.

CLIMBING

They had gone “on a ramble” after meeting earlier that afternoon, he said.

“We were bored. We decided to climb up on the roof. We both liked climbing and we wanted to see what was up there,” he added.

They had climbed on to the roof of the steelworks two or three times previously, gaining access through an apartment

block nearby. Mr Fitzgerald was about two feet behind when his friend fell, the court heard.

“I heard a crack and a breaking noise and I looked back and Craig was gone,” he said.

“I don’t know what he stood on. I don’t think he tripped. He just fell straight down.”

Mr Fitzgerald raised the alarm and gardai arrived at 4.40pm. Dublin Fire Brigade arrived two minutes later. The victim was rushed to St James’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead on January 5.

“The doctors said they had done all they could for him,”

the young man’s father, Stephen Hanlon, said.

Dublin Coroner’s Court heard that the former steelworks yard was used as a car park for staff working at St James’s Hospital.

Occupational therapist Riona Nolan was returning to her car when she heard a crash. She said she had previously heard parts of the roof flapping.

Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane said there was no one with responsibility for the car park present in court. She adjourned the case, saying “a little more information was required in order to complete the inquest”.

Sheeran back on Twitter after fans slam naff Thrones cameo singing for Arya Katie Archer ED Sheeran’s disappearance from Twitter appears to have been short-lived.

The singer’s account is back online hours after it suddenly disappeared.

All of his tweets since April 2015 have been removed, and the singer’s more than 19 million followers have been reduced to a few thousand.

The moves follow Sheeran’s cameo in the season premiere of Game of Thrones on Sunday night. His appearance as a singing soldier became a buzzed-about topic on social media.

The Shape Of You star’s camero in the hit fantasy series divided opinion among fans after it aired in the

debut episode of season seven – and now he appears to have de-activated his account on the social media site.

Sheeran had previously limited his activity on Twitter, saying he could not cope with the hate directed at him online.

His role in Game of Thrones involved only two lines – “It’s a new one” in reference to a song that Maisie Williams’ character Arya Stark heard him singing and “Worst place in the world” about King’s Landing.

However, fans of the show complained about having a celebrity included in a scene, while others ridiculed his acting abilities.

Meanwhile, some people thought that the criticism had gone a little far if it had driven him off Twitter.

SURPRISE

Sheeran had been booked for the episode as a surprise for superfan Williams, who sat alongside him during the cameo.

Recently, the singer had explained that he was no

longer on Twitter and any tweets were automatically generated by his Instagram account, but now his page has disappeared completely.

He said at the time: “I’ve actually come off Twitter completely. I can’t read it. I go on it and there’s nothing but people saying mean things.”

Despite the criticism of Sheeran, the episode drew the biggest overnight audience ever for a Game of Thrones instalment on Sky Atlantic.

Taking into account viewers from the US, UK and Ireland as it was simulcast on both sides of the Atlantic, those watching the episode as it aired amounted to 2,830,000.

Schoolsdealingwith ninecasesof bullying everyterm,studyfinds Sarah Slater

ABC director Dr James O’Higgins Norman said schools need more resources from the Government to tackle bullying

SCHOOL principals nationwide are dealing with nine cases of bullying every academic term, resulting in some students wanting to leave the classroom, a report has found.

The report also shows that the overwhelming majority (96pc) of primary and secondary school principals who took part in the survey believe that bullying can have a negative impact on a child’s attendance.

Up to 97pc of principals also believe bullying affects the academic performance of children – and point to a direct link between bullying and a heightened risk of a child leaving school early.

Even more worrying are findings that show principals believe children in their schools cannot easily access qualified counsellors.

Only 39pc agreed that they had adequate access.

The report was carried out by the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre (ABC) at Dublin City University.

It aimed to discover whether the implementation of Anti-Bullying Procedures for Primary and Post-Primary Schools, published by the Department of Education in September 2013, is working.

GUIDANCE

The survey was distributed online to all school principals in Ireland, which totalled 4,028 in October last year.

Up to 918 principals, or 23pc, responded, broadly representing most types of schools in Ireland.

The survey contained 40 questions related to the content of the Department of Education’s Anti-Bullying Procedures.

ABC director Dr James O’Higgins Norman said that the procedures were developed to give guidance to school authorities and personnel.

“While there are worrying findings in the report, we found that schools are working hard to follow these procedures and develop them even further,” he said.

“The procedures are working and schools are recording what is happening when it comes to bullying.

‘Schools are working hard to follow these procedures and develop them’

“Up to 42pc of principals who took part in the survey stated an increase in reports of bullying, with the majority (79pc) of principals reporting up to nine recorded incidents of bullying per term.

“While the majority confirmed that their schools provide specific supports for those who are bullied and those who engage in bullying behaviour, it is a concern that 25pc did not provide specific supports for those who are bullied.

“Another 33pc did not provide specific supports for those who bully.

“Many of the schools are tight on resources, due in part to the recession and a cut in finances, so they had little funds available to provide counselling services.

“What is needed to help this is that more resources are needed for schools from the Government,” he added.

‘Don’t be afraid to show your lumps and bumps’ – Kathryn Sean O’Grady KATHRYN Thomas has urged this year’s contestants on Celebrity Operation Transformation to not be afraid of showing some skin for their weigh-ins.

Male leaders on the show can opt to wear a vest or go shirtless, while female leaders have the option of wearing a vest or a crop top.

With filming set to start next month, presenter Kathryn believes the celebrities should throw caution to the wind.

PROGRESS

“They’re given a choice.

They can choose to wear a crop top or a vest,” she said “I think if you’re going to do it, what have you got to hide? This isn’t about lumps and bumps, this is about losing pounds.”

While the regular series stretches out for eight weeks, the celebrity version lasts for only four weeks – which will impact the visible progress viewers will see the leaders make. “The

Dr Niall Moyna, Gerald Kean, Karl Spain, Katherine Lynch and Brenda Donohue on last year’s Celebrity Operation Transformation leaders will all say that you can see the change,’’ she said. The celebs are only doing four weeks so possibly it won’t make that much difference. Over the course of eight weeks there’s a huge difference.”

Kathryn kept schtum on who will be taking part but said she has been acquainted with most of them before.

“All the celebs have been chosen and I’m really looking forward to getting

stuck in,’’ she told the Herald. ‘‘I would know most of them but I haven’t met them in terms of the show yet. We are kicking off in August and then on air for September.”

The RTE host reckons the key to success on the show is to not put on a front.

“Just be yourself. The reason why it works is because people are honest.

Once you’re open and honest, people will respond to you,” she said.

The suspect has served a number of jail sentences, including a three-year term for a spate of terrifying crimes when he was in his early 20s.

Mr Byrne was stripped naked and kicked to death in “one of the most savage beatings ever witnessed” by the emergency services.

CRIME CORRESPONDENT

UP to half a dozen other men are expected to be arrested in the coming days after a highly-respected father-of-three was beaten to death.

A 29-year-old south Dublin criminal was yesterday released without charge after being questioned over the death of Dermot Byrne. He was beaten to death at around 3am in Swords, north Dublin on Sunday morning.

CRIMINALS

A massive garda investigation is continuing despite the release of the violent career criminal at around 11.30am yesterday.

While a file on the south Dublin man, who has over 60 previous convictions, will now be prepared for the DPP, sources say that officers have also identified a number of other young men who were allegedly involved in the murder of 56-year-old Mr Byrne.

“This murder is considered a joint enterprise, which would

Flowers at the scene on the steps of Fingal Community College on North Street in Swords, where the body of Dermot Byrne (inset) was discovered have made it very difficult to charge just one person in relation to it,” a source said last night.

“So, while there has been a man released, gardai need to speak to a number of other men about this fatal assault. Around six of these individuals have been identified and are known criminals living in the Swords

area. There will be more arrests and this investigation will continue,” the source added.

A file will now be prepared in relation to the 29-year-old suspect who was released yesterday.

The man who was arrested is extremely well known to gardai and has convictions for assaults, burglary, threatening to kill,

The victim, who was originally from Finglas but had been living in Swords, was a well-known pool player and gardai are treating his death as murder.

Mr Byrne regularly travelled to take part in pool tournaments both domestically and internationally.

The Irish Blackball Association, which organises tournaments and runs the sport, paid tribute to the father-of-three.

“He was one of the nicest and most genuine people anyone could wish to meet. A true gentleman,” it said.

Queen Vic ‘is most dangerous soap site’ Katie Archer ALBERT Square’s residents are in more danger than anyone else in soapland, according to security experts.

EastEnders came out top of a list of fictional settings where characters are most likely to be victims of crime in the last 10 years. The list was compiled by security system company ADT. The unlucky people living in Walford had 10 times as many break-ins and fires than those in the least dangerous place, Ambridge, where BBC Radio 4 drama The Archers is set.

INCIDENTS

Researchers also compared the number of fictional fires and break-ins with the likelihood of them happening in the real-life areas of Britain where each soap is set.

They found that the RTE One programme’s location was disproportionately dangerous, with 9.5 people per 100 suffering incidents compared with London’s true figure of 3.4 per 100.

EastEnders should avoid The Queen Vic in particular as the pub is the most dangerous building in soapland, having suffered nine break-ins and two fires in the last 10 years, with the damage caused estimated at €144,000.

A recent storyline saw the

EastEnders’ Queen Vic pub pub’s roof collapse and it was also the scene of soap villain Archie Mitchell’s death, when he was hit over the head with the bar’s bust of Queen Victoria.

Hollyoaks came in second place for residents needing to keep their wits about them, with 5.1 crimes per 100 people, more than Chester’s true number of 3.2 per 100.

Emmerdale has got its crime ratio spot on for its location of Esholt in West Yorkshire, working out at 4.5 incidents per 100 people for both real-life and fiction.

River City only featured 3.6 victims of crime in every 100 people compared to Glasgow’s figure of 5.7.

Coronation Street has run high-profile storylines, including murders and sexual abuse, but the crimes only amounted to 2.8 in every 100 against Salford’s 4.2.

Pippa pockets €290k as fashion firm flies Melanie Finn

Pippa O’Connor and (inset) with husband Brian Ormond

BUSINESS is booming in Pippa O’Connor and Brian Ormond’s house – their company was worth nearly €300,000 last year as they raked in the profits, the Herald can reveal.

One of Ireland’s biggest social media stars, the model-turned-blogger also runs fashion and beauty advice workshops around the country, called Pippa’s Fashion Factory.

Her self-titled website was set up in 2013.

The enterprising personality has managed to turn a

tidy profit from the company that she and Brian started from scratch in July 2015.

The company, which is called Ronnoco Style Ltd, lists Pippa (32) and her husband as its two directors.

The capital built up would have come from her own collaborations with top brands on social media in addition to her Fashion Factories, which are so popular they often sell out weeks in advance.

During the period July 23, 2015 to September 30 last year, the Kildare woman built up a company worth €288,149.

BRAND

This was separate to anything made from the couple’s other company which sells Pippa’s popular jeans brand, Poco

by Pippa, which launched last year.

Pippa has 230,000 followers on Instagram and 72,000

on Twitter, in addition to thousands of Snapchat fans.

Her Facebook page has nearly 240,000 followers.

Pippa spoke previously to the Herald about how she’s constantly approached for endorsement deals, but will only work with a company if it suits her brand.

“I’m contacted all the time and I’m offered, ‘Will you post this for X amount’, and I’m like, ‘That’s not really what I want to do’,” she said.

“I want to do these things properly. If you’re flogging yourself out for a few hundred euro here and there, you won’t have any longevity.”

THE family of a Dublin man who was critically injured in a fall at a construction site in Australia are “taking it one day at a time”.

Dad-of-one David Conway fell 20 metres from scaffolding on the seventh storey of a construction site in Brisbane last Monday.

David (37) was resuscitated by workmates at the scene before critical care paramedics transported him to Gold Coast University Hospital.

“Dave is in a bad way but we are just so, so happy he is still with us,” family friend Tadhg Ennis told the Herald.

“It’s major operation after major operation at the moment, but his family are taking it day by day and piece by piece.”

David, originally from Rathcoole, south Dublin, remains in a critical condition, but has since come out of a coma and is currently heavily sedated.

He is undergoing major operations on a daily basis, and

anything. He’s lived in Australia for years and has his beloved Viv and a young daughter, Keisha.

COMMENT

Another blow to the cartel THE Kinahan crime mob continues to be in disarray in Dublin.

The latest success against the international crime gang came yesterday when gardai arrested three men and seized €4m worth of drugs.

The arrests have been described as “highly significant”, and the gardai must be commended for their good work.

A number of firearms were also found during the raids, and detectives now hope to use fingerprint and DNA evidence to bring down more cartel henchmen.

The weapons found at the scene included stun guns, a sawn-off shotgun and a semi-automatic pistol which shows the imminent danger posed by cartel criminals.

The gangland feud between the Hutch and Kinahan factions has led to 12 murders so far.

However, without the proactive, in-your-face policing we are now seeing, the death toll would be much higher.

Let’s hope the evidence seized yesterday leads to further action to take down the criminals behind the cartel’s operations in Dublin.

Sexistadsmustbe consignedtohistory

A

NN is in the kitchen helping Mammy make the dinner. Barry is in the garden helping Daddy mow the lawn. Nobody knows what Mammy and Daddy talk about if they ever meet in some strange in-between place, but it’s definitely not the equal division of labour or gender fluidity.

They aren’t alone. Despite the fact that poorer women, those in family businesses and farms always worked, and that the marriage bar was really just a blip in Irish history, the depiction of gender roles in the media has got steadily more fixated on a bizarre 1950s model that never really applied in Ireland.

Only last week we had outrage over an ad from Mothercare depicting little girls playing with toys like cleaning trolleys and kitchens.

So far, so eye-rollingly, obviously sexist, but the dodgiest part of all was their costumes – 1950s housewives straight out of a catalogue, headscarves, rollers and pinnies included.

The weird thing about this is that very few little girls these days would even recognise that costume. Neither would their mothers.

Mine never wore a roller or a pinny in her life – those went out with my grandmother, the last woman in our family to adhere to the traditional women’s role.

Given her extreme dedication to the cause (nine children), my grandad probably had more household

DEIRDRE O’SHAUGHNESSY OPINION

skills than most men of his generation, so his children were used to having dinner cooked by their father.

Most toy ads are firmly aimed at children, reeling them in despite the protestations of their parents, but that Mothercare campaign was interesting in its strangely conceived attempt at pitching to parental nostalgia.

Either way, it backfired, because consumers are sick of being condescended to by sexist – not to say lazy and unimaginative – advertising companies.

OUTDATED

Now a steady barrage of complaints about ad campaigns featuring outdated stereotypes, belittling images and confidence-denting narratives is being met with action from the authorities.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK has carried out a major review of gender stere-

otyping in advertising and intends to address the stereotyping of both women and men.

After taking on companies that body-shame women – following the outcry over an unrealistic ‘beach body’ ad for Protein World last summer – the ASA is tackling ads that propagate gender stereotypes.

It won’t be banning ads that, for example, show women doing housework or men doing DIY. However, it will look dimly on those that feature all the family enjoying themselves and making a mess while a woman cleans up alone, or that feature a man failing miserably at a household task.

Admittedly, it’s going to be a tough one to police.

It’s a far cry from the kind of ads to be found in newspapers from the 1950s, with copy in one famous Heinz soup ad suggesting that “nowadays, most men have stopped beating their wives”.

But the ongoing, backward-gazing glorification of a gendered ‘golden era’ that never really existed, combined with an increasingly extreme sexualisation of women and girls in advertising, is the kind of messaging that makes people vote for Donald Trump.

It encourages men to believe women are a) there to serve them and b) sexually available or pointless, and encourages both women and men to believe that men couldn’t possibly do caring, cleaning or household work, even if they wanted to, because they’re really just giant, money-making babies.

CHILDLIKE

Encouraging women to think of men as rather stupid, childlike creatures that exist to bring home money and can’t be trusted with a spatula isn’t any more helpful than letting men believe women are there to feed them, iron their shirts or have sex with them.

All of which makes me wonder what’s wrong with the advertising industry in the first place. As an industry, it seems limited to watching old episodes of Mad Men and cogging Don Draper’s homework, but 50 years too late for the jokes to be funny.

The crackdown on sexist ads seems a little unnecessary. However, if the carrot approach – you know, actually selling more of the product you’re advertising by using imagination, innovation and actual ideas rather than tired old tropes – doesn’t work, it’s time for the stick.

Whynot enforceour drink-drive lawsfirst?

T

HE crusade by Shane Ross to introduce an automatic ban for drivers caught with between 50mg and 80mg blood alcohol concentration has become a hugely divisive issue.

From the outset, let me state that I oppose this measure. Mr Ross (below) is wrong.

If the current law is properly enforced, it is more than adequate to deal with drinkdriving.

In 2012, the drink-driving limit in this country was reduced to 50mg for all drivers and 20mg for a specific category of drivers.

Our laws are now in line with EU standards.

Under the current legislation, a driver who fails the test at a garda checkpoint will be arrested and then asked to provide a breath test and a blood or urine sample.

CONDEMN

If the test shows that the driver is between 50mg and 80mg, they can avail of a three-point penalty notice and a fine of €200.

Under the previous system, all drink-driving offences were dealt with in court, and those who were convicted were automatically disqualified from driving.

The current system is a fair method of dealing with drivers who are within the lower range of alcohol consumption.

Let me state that I absolutely condemn the reckless criminal behaviour of any driver who gets behind the wheel of a car while drunk.

As a former garda, I am only too aware of the carnage that occures on our roads, with the loss of innocent lives and all the misery and tragedy caused by drunken drivers over the years.

Having said that, I do not support Mr Ross’ campaign for a change in legislation, which, if

Jodie Whittaker at an awards red carpet event and (below) as the new Doctor Who

High time we had a Jane Bond heroine A LITTLE bit of TV history was made this week when it was announced that the long-running Doctor Who series is to have a female lead.

Actress Jodie Whittaker (35) will take over as the 13th Time Lord.

This sensational news was broken in a BBC news clip on Sunday night.

Apart from Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series and Gal Gadot’s recent revamp of Wonder Woman, female heroine leads are few and far between.

Of course, the ultimate role would be a female 007.

I can see it now – the name is Bond, Jane Bond.

successful, would penalise and punish decent and responsible drivers who only take one or two drinks.

This is especially relevant in rural Ireland where public transport and taxi services are virtually non-existent and having a car is a necessity to visit the only social focal points in the parish – a pub or a church.

The current legislation on drink-driving is more than adequate. The problem with it is enforcement.

During the past 10 years or so, I have been driving from Listowel in Co Kerry to Dublin twice a month.

Over those years, I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of checkpoints that I encountered.

The truth is that our roads and motorways have no garda management.

Over the past 10 years, the garda traffic corps has been almost halved from 1,200 to 681.

Last Christmas, when numbers were increased for the holiday period, there was a 34pc decrease in road deaths.

This proves beyond all doubt that the deterrent to drink-driving on our roads is a beefed-up and visible garda presence.

I admire Mr Ross for his campaign to prevent further loss of life on our roads, but I think his energy would be better directed at boosting garda traffic corps numbers.

Only properly sustained enforcement ensures compliance.

HERO CHRIS Quinn, the chairman of Greystones Tennis Club, went viral when Kim Clijsters invited him to face her serve at Wimbledon.

Former minister Phil Hogan

Leo must cut off flow of bonuses to water staff IRISH Water is the biggest fiasco ever. No other scandal in our history compares – and God only knows there have been a few.

Ever since this quango was established by former Environment Minister Phil Hogan, it has been mired in controversy.

It became the most hated and reviled entity ever foisted on the Irish people.

It brought hundreds of thousands of ordinary people on to the streets to protest.

A fortune was spent on installing water meters the length and breath of the country. They are now lying useless in the ground. As a result of public outrage, water charges were scrapped despite half of the population having already paid.

Public anger and dismay were further exacerbated by the revelations that more than €100m had been paid to consultants for reports and advice.

BRIBE

ZERO ON the Loose Women TV show, model Katie Price said she would consider providing a vice girl for her disabled son Harvey when he comes of age.

People are rightly shocked at her remarks – they’re nothing short of disgusting.

By any standard, that figure should involve a full public inquiry.

Then there was the stupid idea of giving every householder a €100 conservation grant – a political stunt that had nothing whatsoever to do with conservation.

It was a shameful bribe to encourage us to pay the hated charges.

The good news is that our new Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has announced that all the “suckers” who paid their water charges will have the money refunded before Christmas.

I would expect the Taoiseach to immediately warn Irish Water that not one euro in bonuses is to be paid to its employees before every cent of water charges has been reimbursed to those customers who are out of pocket.

CampaignBrief

Vodafonemixesonline andofflineinabidto wooyoungcustomers GIF-ITI artist INSA was hired

by Vodafone to front its new Vodafone X youth campaign.

Gif-iti is an art form where offline meets online, marrying graffiti and Gifs (graphics interchange format).

The campaign was developed

by Target McConnells with the aim of offering a fun way of connecting with this hardto-reach audience.

The digital campaign was targeted at 16 to 24-year-olds with offers on data, sport, music and weekend packages.

MURALS

INSA was filmed creating bespoke Gif-itis – one to represent each of the three offers.

The hand-painted murals were created with multiple layers. Each layer was photographed on completion and then painted over repeatedly.

The layers came about digitally as animated Gifs, where the message was revealed to tell the Vodafone X story.

Target McConnells managing director Abi Moran (inset) said

that as young people have short attention spans and varied interests, the agency had to create something completely new that could strike a chord.

Working with an artist such as INSA created a platform to tell the Vodafone X story in a fun way. It is the first time INSA has worked with a consumer brand in the Irish market.

As the creator of Gifiti, INSA crosses both the online and real worlds, making him a natural fit for a campaign where the target audience lives and breathes today’s dual lifestyle.

Vodafone brand manager Evelyn Browne said they identified specific passion points and created visually impactful content around them to grab attention.

The campaign resulted in 500,000 YouTube and 470,000 Facebook views and a combined reach of 4.1 million for Facebook and Instagram.

RTEblamesRising,Olympicsand electionfor€16.9mriseindeficit Donal O’Donovan and Kirsty Blake Knox RTE recorded a €16.9m increase in its annual deficit last year, but partly blamed foreseeable events, including the 1916 Rising centenary and the Olympics, for the hike.

New figures show the gulf between spending and income at the State-owned broadcaster ballooned to €19.7m last year, from €2.8m in 2015.

RTE is planning to cut more than 200 jobs from next month as part of a “voluntary exit programme”, in a bid to bring its finances under control.

It will also unveil its radical restructuring plans to staff next month.

If the broadcaster continues to run deficits on the scale racked up in 2016, it will have spent the €107m windfall from the recent sale of its lands within six years.

In a statement, RTE said a cut in public funding in place since 2014 and extra costs linked to events including the 1916 centenary, the Olympics, the Euro 2016 tournament and the General Election had resulted in the deficit.

HIT

A hit with the public, the broadcaster’s staging of RTE Reflecting the Rising on Easter Monday was the largest civic event in the history of the State and was attended by 750,000

people, while more than three million tuned into the station over the Easter weekend.

The accounts show the average cost per hour broadcast was 11.5pc higher on RTE One last year compared to 2015.

Programming costs at other RTE stations rose at far lower rates.

However, the annual report and group consolidated financial statements, published yesterday, show operating costs in 2016 increased by €7m, excluding those special events.

In all, costs rose €23m to €343.4m.

The rise in costs was more than enough to swamp a more modest rise in income that took total revenue to €327.3m.

Licence fee income was slightly higher in 2016 than the previous year, at €179.1m from €178.9m.

RTE director general Dee Forbes said the impact of Brexit and licence-fee evasion rates have also added to the deficit.

SEVERE

“On the income side we began to see the impact of Brexit at the back end of the year on advertising,” she said.

“We really had not expected it to be so severe. That really was an issue for us.

“You plan your year based on very reasonable assumptions on income around expenditure but, like I said, the income didn’t come in as expected.”

Commercial revenue – including advertising – was €2.8m higher in 2016 than the previous year, totalling €158.2m.

Last week, Ms Forbes argued the licence fee should be increased to €175 in a Oireachtas Committee meeting.

Earlier this year, RTE agreed a €107m deal to sell part of its Donnybrook campus to house-builder Cairn Homes.

In 2016, RTE’s total staff numbers increased slightly to 1,984, including adding 43 extra full-time staff.

An RTE spokesperson said this could be “attributable to a need to bring in new skill sets to RTE, to continue to meet the changing needs of our audiences”.

The best-dressed woman, who will be given the title of Dawn Milk Queen of Fashion, will walk away with a trip to Paris for two, while the best-dressed gent will win a trip to Milan for two.

Ladies Day on Thursday will be the last race meeting of the month in Killarney before punters will return for the final summer races from August 23 to 26.

Kerry All-Star Aidan and his wife Denise Healy have had their hands full for the past few months after the birth of their first daughter, Lucia, in March.

The couple (right) shared the news of the arrival of their “little angel” on Instagram with their fans.

On becoming a father for the first time, Aidan said it was something he was looking forward to as it is “such a positive thing in your life”.

STAR SECRET

‘It’s better to get married at home’, says model Rosie Sean O’Grady ROSIE Connolly has revealed her plans to have a beach wedding abroad have gone out the window after she decided being on home turf for her special day was more important.

The model (27) is set to walk up the aisle with fiance Paul Quinn who popped the question to the Dubliner back in June 2015.

Rosie’s decision ultimately came down to her guests and she decided it was better to have the ceremony at home so more of their nearest and dearest could attend. “We were going to get married abroad but we totally changed our minds.

We said, ‘You know what?

We want to get married here and have a bigger wedding here rather than a smaller one abroad’,” she said.

PLANNERS

The Sutton woman has nailed down the venue and has got to work with her wedding planners on the finer details.

“We just went to see our venue. We already have it booked, but we went down to make more plans and meet our wedding planners and all that, so it’s really coming along well.

“I’m not going to say where it is, but it’s going to be not too far from Dublin,” she told the Diary.

Rosie has been pleasantly

surprised with her fiance’s enthusiasm for planning the wedding.

“Paul is a lot more into it than I thought. I said to him ‘Will you look after the band?’

“And he was saying, ‘We need to get this booked, we need to get that booked.’

He’s a lot more into it than I thought he would be for a bloke,” she said.

The couple are parents to two-year-old son Harry who Rosie hopes will be involved in the ceremony.

“Harry will be involved, as much as you can get a young boy involved.

“He hasn’t got a clue what’s going on, but I’m sure by next year he will be excited,” she said.

Cash-strappedshopliftingdad ‘panicked’andgavefalsename Andrew Phelan A CASH-strapped father-ofthree who stole groceries from a supermarket gave arresting gardai a false name because he panicked.

Gareth Guinan (30) was struggling financially and had “too much time on his hands” when he stole the goods from a shop in south Dublin.

The accused, of Rutland Avenue, Crumlin, pleaded guilty to theft and giving gardai a false name.

Judge Kathryn Hutton gave him a three-month suspended sentence.

Dublin District Court heard that the incident happened at

SuperValu, Walkinstown, last February 14.

Guinan went to the shop at 3.45pm, took €38 worth of groceries and left without paying.

He was stopped by security, who called gardai.

When arrested, Guinan told gardai his name was Declan Murphy.

AGGRESSIVE

The accused had 41 previous convictions for offences including possession of drugs.

“On the day, he was struggling financially and when he went to the station he panicked and gave a false name,” Guinan’s solicitor Michael Kelleher told the court.

The defendant had “too much time on his hands” and was “too easily influenced”.

He had now got a job and was moving on and taking his responsibilities seriously “late in life”.

Guinan had not been aggressive to the garda or anyone in the shop.

He made a “foolish error” on the day, Mr Kelleher added.

Guinan’s last previous convictions dated back to 2013 and he had “thought he had made a break” from offending, Mr Kelleher said.

He asked the judge to “see this as something of an aberration”. All the goods were recovered.

Gareth Guinan is now ‘taking his responsibilities seriously’

Manmustpay€500tofriendfor splittinghisheadinphonerow Andrew Phelan A YOUNG man who assaulted his friend in a row was found by gardai standing over the victim as he lay on the ground bleeding from a head wound.

Dean Emerson (21) hit his friend, leaving him with a twoinch laceration to his head.

Judge Gerard Jones told him to pay €500 compensation and adjourned the case for five months.

Emerson, of Doon Court, Poppintree, Ballymun, pleaded

guilty to assault causing harm to his pal.

Dublin District Court heard the incident happened at Topaz, Ballymun Road, on June 10, 2015.

Gda Sgt Paul Keane said gardai were called to the scene after it was reported that one man had assaulted another.

Gardai found the victim lying on the ground with a wound to his head, which was bleeding.

The injury was a two-inch laceration to the back of his head and the accused was

standing over him, Sgt Keane said.

Emerson was identified by a witness at the garage as having been responsible for the assault and was arrested at the scene.

SERIOUS

He made admissions to gardai when questioned and the DPP directed charging him with the offence.

The accused had pleaded guilty on an earlier date and the case was back before the

court for the production of a pre-sentence probation report.

Judge Jones said that in cases where someone had done well with the probation service he would normally strike the charge out, but could not do so in this case.

“I can’t strike this out, it’s too serious,” he said.

Emerson and the victim were friends and had been out for drinks on the night, his solicitor Ciara Hallinan said.

An “excessive amount” of alcohol was consumed and

they had a row over the use of a telephone.

The victim had “words with” the accused before the assault took place.

The injured party had since attended Emerson’s solicitor’s office with him, although he was asked to step outside.

“So a two-inch laceration to the back of his head and he’s happy enough?” Judge Jones said.

Emerson had no memory of the assault but fully accepted what gardai said.

A TRAINEE hairdresser was caught with bags of stolen clothes when gardai saw her acting suspiciously in Dublin city centre.

Shannon McMahon (21) admitted knowing the clothes were stolen when confronted by gardai.

Judge Fiona Lydon adjourned her case for a pre-sentence probation report.

McMahon, of O’Brien Hall, Gardiner Street, admitted possession of stolen property.

Dublin District Court heard gardai were on duty at Moore Lane when they saw the defendant acting suspiciously.

CONVICTIONS

She was with two other women and entered a car park in what officers believed was an attempt to avoid them. They exited back on to the lane.

McMahon had no receipts for the clothing. She was in possession of four pairs of shorts worth €80 from Dunnes Stores and four H&M skirts worth €119. All the property was recovered and returned to the owners.

The court heard that McMahon, who was taking beauty therapy and hairdressing courses, had previous theft convictions.

“This was a lapse,” her solicitor added.

Nutritional therapist Antoinette Witter explains to Sinead Fagan why so-called ‘clean eating’ is pointless if your digestive system isn’t healthy. Here, she reveals how to get your gut into great shape

A

VISIT to the local health food store can be a bit of a head-melting experience.

There are so many pills and potions available, from dietary to nutritional supplements, that it can be hard to know what to buy and if there is even any benefits to taking them.

Health supplements are a multi-billion pound industry, with nearly half of adults taking some form of supplementation on a regular basis, but do we really need to spend a lot of money on taking these kind of nutritional aids?

“I firmly believe we should think of food first,” says Antoinette Witter, nutritional

therapist with The Happy Gut Clinic (www. thehappygutclinic.ie), who believes the key to good health starts in the gut.

“Conventional thinking would have you believe that you are what you eat, however there is much research to suggest that you are what you absorb. You may well be eating ‘clean’, but what if you can’t see the damage on the inside that’s already there resulting in ill health?”

Antoinette goes on to explain that it’s possible to be suffering with digestive issues associated with an inflamed and leaky gut, without even being aware of it.

IT’S BETTER TO BE HEALTHY ALONE THAN SICK WITH SOMEONE ELSE.” TV PERSONALITY PHIL McGRAW, AKA ‘DR PHIL’

WHY KIDS NEED EXPOSURE TO GERMS

PARENTS are over-sterilising the environments of their children because they don’t understand why dirt is good for us, a germ expert says.

Professor Jack Gilbert said that exposure to microbes prevalent in the great outdoors will establish a stronger, more robust immune system in young people.

Germs and dirt are serious concerns for anxious parents but Professor Gilbert, co-author of Dirt is Good: The Advantage Of Germs For Your Child’s Developing Immune System, says we need not worry.

“Most parents think all germs are bad, that is not true. Most will just stimulate your immune system and make you stronger,” says Prof Gilbert, Director of the Microbiome Centre at the University of Chicago.

The immune systems of our ancestors were strengthened by a multitude of microbial interactions. Now, when there aren’t enough, the immune system starts to age “which can make it more likely to have a huge response to a simple allergen,” Prof Gilbert adds.

When it comes to

nutrition, go with your gut

to some research, could be the cause of food allergies, joint pain, thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions and slow metabolism.

Our skin is seven cell layers thick, however the gut is just one layer that makes up the mucosal barrier, which is the barrier between the inside of the gut and the rest of the body. Some health practitioners believe that an excess of certain triggers, such as alcohol, caffeine, sugar, certain medications and gluten, can cause gaps to form in this barrier, allowing substances to ‘leak’ out into the bloodstream. Stress is considered to be another major contributing factor to this issue.

While there are many pills and supplements available which claim to alleviate leaky gut, Antoinette believes that the answer to this problem is food, or rather real food, and that when the right changes are made to one’s diet, the positive effects can be quite dramatic and swift.

“We can make massive improvements to our all-over health by just changing our diet, greatly reducing the need for supple-

Bone broth mentation. And the brilliant thing is that small, simple, easy changes can make a huge difference.”

So rather than popping expensive pills or even reaching for the Rennie, what are the most beneficial and healing foods that we can eat that can help to promote good gut health, as well as a general sense of well-being?

• Bone broth, or good old-fashioned chicken soup to you and me. Antoinette

believes this simple dish is one of the best tonics we can take.

“Remember when your mam or granny used the carcass from the Sunday roast to make soup and she’d ladle it into you when you were sick? Well she was right. Bone broth has collagen and gelatin, which acts like a balm for an inflamed gut lining while glutamine helps prevent further damage.”

If you don’t fancy making it, you can buy it — the benefits of bone broth have recently been highlighted, so as a result, there are many new products coming on the market. Antoinette recommends the brand Sadie’s Kitchen Bone Broth and advises to have a cupful every day.

• Cultured non-dairy foods like coconut yoghurt and coconut milk kefir have beneficial bacteria called probiotics that destroy bad bacteria and prevent them growing in your gut in the first place. Antoinette advises if you can tolerate dairy, cow or goat, then use bio live natural yoghurt and milk kefir.

ANTOINETTE’S TOP FIVE TIPS FOR NUTRITION Antoinette Witter, nutritional therapist with The Happy Gut Clinic, gives her top five nutritional tips for promoting good health and vitality.

1. Make every plate a ‘healthy plate’. Divide your plate in half and fill it with a rainbow of colourful veg and salad that grow above ground. Plants can’t run away from predators so it’s their colours, called polyphenols, that protects them from being eaten. When we consume these plant foods, we benefit from these protective polyphenol qualities too. The other half of the plate is spilt in two, and in one quarter have a portion of quality protein like chicken, meat or fish the size of a deck of cards, and the other quarter is a portion of good carbs like sweet potato, brown rice or pasta, pulses or lentils.

2. Treat treats as a ‘treat’! We all like a bit of sweet food and we are actually hardwired to seek out sugar to fuel our bodies. However, too much sugar causes inflammation which feeds infections and diseases not to mention making us fat. This includes the liquid sugars in soft drinks and alcohol that we conveniently ‘forget’ about. If you are having a treat, have just that, one treat not several and have it occasionally, not every day.

3. Invest in a Nutri Bullet or similar to ensure you get your 10 a day. Yes, 10 portions of veg and fruit with the emphasis on veg, aiming to achieve a 70pc-30pc balance. It’s much easier to pack those nutrients into you in the form of a drink that you can sip in the car or on a train. Add a good quality digestive enzyme to help digestion because you don’t get to chew and add saliva to the mix.

4. Avoid ‘cereal killers’ (ie. boxed breakfast cereal).

These are packed with sugar and salt not to mention the additives and preservatives. If you don’t have time for a cooked breakfast, have a smoothie, or go for an alternative cereal like puffed quinoa, oat or millet flakes, with berries (remember the polyphenols) and natural yogurt or non-dairy milk. Watch your energy go through the roof!

5. Drink water, at least half your body weight in fluid ounces. Avoid tap water, invest in a filter or drink naturally filtered mineral water. We are made up of 70pc water and rehydrating helps boost metabolic rate, aids in weight loss, burns calories, rids the body of toxins and makes us feel fresh and healthy.

The 9 sunscreen mistakes to be wary of all year S • Fermented vegetables like sauerkraut and kimchi have been used for centuries, not just as a means of preserving vegetables, but also ancient civilizations knew that they improved digestion and health.

Antoinette explains that they work by balancing the pH in the stomach and small intestines. They are widely available in your local supermarket, however they are not the same as pickled onions and gherkins, which are full of sugar and best avoided.

• Steamed vegetables are better than raw as they are easier to digest if your digestion is already weakened. They are jam-packed with vitamins and minerals which help you break down carbs, fats and proteins, and they also feed the good bacteria that heal your gut lining. It’s best to use non-starchy veg, such as asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, aubergine, leeks and onions, as they are lower in sugar and high in fibre.

“Think of all the colourful vegetables

Tumeric

• Stewed apple is now a therapeutic food according to latest research. And not any old stewed apple, but a particular recipe and cooking method has been found to be effective at changing inflammatory markers, improving digestion and elimination, aiding in weight loss, mood uplifting and reducing the need for anti-inflammatory medication. Antoinette’s own recipe is printed here while some of her other recipes can be found at www.thehappygutclinic.ie.

• Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. “I have a jar on my kitchen counter and I add a bit to every soup, stew and curry,” says Antoinette. “Fresh is better than dried but leaves a yellow stain on your fingers. Add a pinch of fresh ground black pepper to aid absorption.”

that grow above the ground and you can’t go wrong,” says Antoinette.

• Although for years we’ve learned to fear fat, Antoinette strongly believes that healthy fats, such as coconut oil, have antimicrobial and antifungal properties and are always on the list for gut healing.

It is a natural anti-inflammatory that acts like a balm; soothing the gut lining and may even improve the symptoms of IBS. Other healthy fats like avocados, egg yolks and oily fish are easy on the gut and promote healing.

• The one supplement that Antoinette does recommend taking is vitamin C. “It’s nature’s antibiotic and absolutely vital in times of stress when our need for it goes through the roof. I take 1,000mg per day and rarely get ill.”

She goes on to point out the importance of good nutrition for good bone health. “It’s a combination of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and magnesium that helps to build strong healthy bones — it’s simply not enough to eat dairy and hope for the best.

Vitamin D helps your body absorb the calcium, so get out in the sunshine or use a good supplement.”

STEWED APPLES

Ingredients:

6 Bramley cooking apples or apples of choice (organic preferable) ½ cup of water ½ cup of raisins/sultanas 2 tsp cinnamon

Directions: 1. Peel and core the apples and chop into small pieces 2. Put all the ingredients into a heavy based pot and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring regularly until soft with rough shapes. The colour should be russet brown with the cinnamon effect.

3. Put into small ramekin size containers, cover and store in the fridge for use. May be eaten warm or cold.

Secondary Stage: Add 1 tsp of probiotic stirred into apple (open capsule); 2/3 tbsp of bio live natural coconut yoghurt; 6-8 berries (blueberries/raspberries/etc); and 1 tsp of Manuka or wild honey, if required.

Note: Leaving the skins on is better, but only if tolerated, and organic if possible.

For healing purposes, consume at least one portion per day and up to three portions for immune modulating effect.

un cream: grab a bottle of factor 15 from the chemist at the airport, whack it on when you hit your sun lounger and you’re all set. Right?

Wrong.

“Applying sunscreen seems simple enough, but if you’re not careful, improper use can leave your skin vulnerable and exposed,” warns Daniel Isaacs, formulation and development director at Medik8.

A survey by the British Association of Dermatologists in 2016 identified that 80pc of people are failing to adequately apply sunscreen. Even the most cautious sun worshippers may be putting themselves at risk with their suntan-lotion technique, but armed with the right knowledge, you can ensure you’re thoroughly protected...

1. Applying sunscreen in the sun “Any application in direct sunlight increases evaporation by up to 60pc, reducing protection,” says Abi Cleeve, MD Ultrasun UK. “Put it on at least 15 minutes before you go out.

Get a good coverage and let it sink in.”

2. Ditching the SPF on cloudy days “Even when it’s not particularly sunny, sunscreen is still required,” says Seena Seka, sun care specialist for Linco Care Ltd. “When the sky is overcast, UV radiation levels are still at 80pc of their normal levels.”

3. Checking the weather forecast not the UV index “The temperature can be deceptive — a breeze can keep you cool, but it doesn’t affect UV levels. Look up the UV index for your area to make sure you’re using protection when necessary, especially between 11am and 3pm, when the sunshine is at its strongest,” Seena advises.

4. Missing sensitive spots “The most common site for men to develop a malignant melanoma is on the chest or back. For women it’s more likely

on the legs,” Abi says. So slather on liberally all over.

5. Skipping your lips “Lips are often forgotten and with no natural shade like the lower lip, the upper lip area in particular shows ageing from sun damage more quickly.”

Getting a lip specific sunscreen is advised.

6. Not topping up enough “Consumers should also be mindful of the activities they perform whilst wearing sunscreen. Sweat, exposure to water, towel drying and anything that rubs against the skin can significantly diminish your level of protection,” Daniel says.

“To receive a sunscreen’s full protective properties, you should be topping up your application every two hours.”

7. Not checking the expiration date “Check your product for shelf life, the average is just six to 12 months,” Abi says.

8. Not slapping on enough product “It is recommended that a minimum quantity of 35ml is sufficient for all-over body protection. If you reduce the required amount, then the level of SPF protection will decrease significantly,” Seena warns.

That’s about two tablespoons.

“As a rule, you should always use an SPF15 product or higher at the start of sun exposure.

You can always choose a lower factor later,” he adds.

9. Only using SPF on holiday “There is a common misconception that sunscreen is only necessary in the summer months, or worse still, just for the beach or pool,” Daniel warns.

“The truth is UV rays are everywhere, and whether you’re enjoying a summer stroll or taking refuge from winter winds near a brightly lit window, you’re still being exposed to damage.

“Daily, year-round application is essential if you wish to shield skin from photodamage.”

Feeling sad may be the secret to being happy...

H

appiness is overrated.

Instead, try allowing yourself to be totally miserable. It might make you happier than you have ever been. Let us explain.

Browsing social media and being confronted with friends scoring dream jobs, creating perfect families and sunning themselves on beaches can create the impression that everyone else is in some unending state of euphoria. And there you are, lying on the sofa with a bag of crisps, an hour into a scrolling session on your phone.

But constant happiness is not only overrated, it’s totally unachievable. In fact, says Gina Clarke, a psychotherapist at Click for Therapy, expecting to be constantly happy is harmful.

“Everybody’s mood fluctuates, we all have ups and downs and a wide range of emotions,” she says, pointing towards the kids’ movie Inside Out as an analogy.

“If we expect to be constantly happy, then we judge that to feel any other emotion is wrong and, therefore, we internalise that we are bad if we feel sad, angry, frustrated, and so on, when in actual fact, in order to feel happy, to process the difficult stuff that happens, we need to accept other emotions.”

And if, as studies suggest, half of workers would rather be in a different job; some 60pc of people report being in an unhappy relationship; and social media is making us unsatisfied, it’s unlikely that everyone around you is as happy as they seem. You might hope that we’re not all doomed to endure these feelings for the rest of our lives. That’s why experiencing sadness or discomfort can be useful.

“When we feel sad or uncomfortable it is our mind’s way of telling us that we are out of balance, that emotionally, we are in pain and we need time to heal,” explains Clarke. “With a

broken leg, we ask for help, see a specialist. If we did this when we felt sad or uncomfortable it would help us to process and heal. The first step is acknowledgement and then assessment — do I need to leave the situation, ask for help, talk with a friend, seek professional support?”

When feelings of sadness and worthlessness are all-consuming, it is vital to visit a GP and assess your mental health, as these can be symptoms of depression or other serious conditions.

But dreading going into work while feeling happy in other aspects of life, or the odd pang of sadness can be a catalyst for trying to unpick what is causing these feelings.

“From what I’ve seen, and I’ve worked with a lot of clients, a valuable key to contentment and or fulfilment is acceptance. Acceptance of ourselves, acceptance of what’s happening in our lives, acceptance of those around us,” says psychotherapist Hilda Burke. “On the other hand, wishing things were other than what they are is a sure fire way of making ourselves unhappy as it keeps us in a stuck place in our heads where we are imagining how life could be better another way, with another partner, in another job and as such we’re inevitably missing what’s just under our noses and failing to appreciate that good things that are there.”

“If we feel unhappy in the moment, we should ask ourselves why, what’s going on, and assess our emotions over time. Some people write it down, journal, some talk with others, some just note then feelings,” says Clarke.

“Once you get to the root causes of how you feel, it becomes much easier to change your mood,” chimes Phillip Adcock, psychologist and author of Master Your Brain.

In the long term then, unhappiness might just be the key to happiness.

Keeping a food diary, doing short exercise bursts and using your core can help you slim down, writes Claire Spreadbury

S

UMMER holiday season is here for most of us — hooray! Cue united bikini body and swimsuit shopping panic.

The reality is, it’s highly unlikely any of us will be shedding stones for our holiday snaps. But, if you want to feel a bit better about yourself, cut down on eating bad stuff and get yourself moving a bit more, personal trainer Laura Williams reveals the habits you can start now that will make a difference by the time you take off...

1

Keep anything worth eating out of the house It may sound obvious, but the best remedy for tackling the biggest hunger pang is to stay out of harm’s way. If

Rediscover your core muscles

you’re not having to fight the urge to stay away from the crisp/dip/biscuit stash, and your only snack option is a tired old cream cracker, you’ll soon find something else to do.

Ban junk food from your house

2 3

Do the seven-minute workout One of the best things about exercise is that it has a cumulative effect. So, if despite your best intentions, you haven’t yet managed to make that early-morning bootcamp, the seven-minute workout will get you results, if you do it regularly (there are lots of variations on Youtube).

Locate long-forgotten core muscles Working all your abdominal muscles, and those around the hips and lower back, will help to give you a flatter-looking tummy, even if you haven’t managed to whittle your waistline by the time you board the plane. Book into a Pilates class or dust off that oversized exercise ball, and you really will be delighted at the results.

4 5

Book some exercise classes Again, an obvious one, but paying in advance for your workout using apps such as ClassPass, means you’re more likely to turn up. And subsequently burn hundreds of calories.

Give sliced pan the heave-ho Actually, cutting out bread won’t make you lose weight per se, but it will stop you eating calorie-laden sarnies, cheese-covered pizzas and rounds of buttered toast, so it’s likely to work as a pre-holiday emergency measure.

REVIEW: WHEN FOOTBALL BANNED WOMEN (CHANNEL 4)

W

OMEN footballers face a constant battle off the pitch. A battle for respect, for recognition, for television and press coverage.

As we know from the recent, disgraceful experience of our own women’s national team, sometimes it’s a battle for even the most basic of facilities, such as somewhere to change into your kit that isn’t a coach or a (literal) toilet.

But it wasn’t always this way. The wonderful documentary When Football Banned Women revealed that a hundred years ago, a woman’s place, in England at any rate, wasn’t in the corset or the kitchen but on the factory floor and the football pitch.

Presented by sports broadcaster Clare Balding, who’s had her own battles to fight as a gay woman working in an area still overwhelmingly populated by heterosexual men, this was a fascinating account of a little-known chapter in football, feminist and social history: a brief, glorious period when women’s football eclipsed the men’s game.

With the First World War raging and the regular football leagues suspended, the women stepped in to fill the gap, just as they’d done in the factories and shipyards.

The most famous team in the land was Dick, Kerr Ladies, named for the Preston munitions plant where its players worked turning out 300,000 shells a week.

This wasn’t some passing novelty; crowds of up to 60,000 turned up to see the DKL play, and they were still doing it three years after the war ended, when the men’s leagues were up and running again.

The DKL were feted by the press and the newsreels, and invited to play on the Continent as England’s official team. LIke any modern club, they had their own superstars, the biggest of them being teenage sensation Lily Parr.

Gail Newsham, herself a former footballer who’s spent 30 years pulling together the strands of this extraordinary piece of lost history, said Lily, a striker, was once challenged by a male goalkeeper to score a penalty against him.

IMPACT Lily, who was tall, strong and scored 43 goals in her first season, when she was just 14, hit the ball so hard that the impact broke the parrying keeper’s wrist. A newspaper match report from the time recorded that another of Lily’s rockets actually cracked the crossbar.

Lily, who liked her cigarettes and brown ale between games, was a sensation in other ways. She was gay and lived openly with her partner Mary.

Alice Woods was the DKL’s formidable 16-year-old midfielder. Balding met her granddaughter and great nephew, who proudly showed her a

photograph of Lily playing keepy-uppy — at the age of 90!

Words alone couldn’t do a story as amazing as this justice. Fortunately, Gail Newsham also amassed some incredible archive film, evocative and thrilling, of the DKL in action in front of packed terraces to bring it all to life.

It wasn’t all about the football either. The DKL played special

‘This wasn’t some passing novelty.

Crowds of up to 60,000 turned up to see the women play’ charity matches for the poor and war wounded, raising the equivalent of £10m in today’s money.

In 1921, it all came to an end when the FA, run by upper-class men, banned the women’s teams from using any of its stadiums or facilities. The women’s game migrated to parks and other open spaces.

Naturally, the crowds gradually dwindled to nothing.

Balding wanted to find out the

reasons for the ban, which was only lifted in 1971 and had a ruinous effect on the women’s game that’s only beginning to be reversed.

The minutes of an FA meeting from 1921 offer vague, unsubstantiated allegations of misappropriation of funds, along with the dubious opinion of a Harley Street doctor: “The kicking is too jerky for women and the bad knocks on the field are bad for future mothers.”

The real reason for the ban, the University of Lancaster’s Dr Ally Melling told Balding, had nothing to do with stolen money or women’s health. It was all about keeping the lower orders in their proper place.

With unemployment and inflation soaring after the war, the whiff of revolution was in the air. The idea of working-class women playing football — and raising funds for striking Lancashire miners in the process — sent shivers up the spine of the elite.

“It was before its time,” said Millling. “It was too big too soon, and too class-orientated, and therefore too revolutionary and too dangerous.”

Brilliant and sobering.

THE RED BOOK Very few bridge books published before the Second World War have any value today, except for the bridge historian. One exception is Ely Culbertson’s 40-year-old “Red Book on Play”.

This was the first comprehensive coverage of card play ever written, and it represented a greater advance in this aspect of the game than Culbertson’s books on bidding did in that field. In the deal shown today, Culbertson demonstrated the value of manoeuvering in order to ascertain the distribution of the defenders’ hands.

East No 3♥ No

By showing his second suit at the three level, West clearly indicated a genuine two-suited hand, with at least five cards in both hearts and diamonds. South’s problems in four spades was to determine the trump distribution. He suspected that West held a singleton spade, but he needed to test the club suit in order to confirm his suspicions.

West led the king of hearts, and South won the ace and led a club to dummy’s ace. South had now located eleven of West’s cards, but he could not afford to lead the king of clubs and risk having it ruffed.

He therefore surrendered a heart trick, and West led a third round of hearts. South ruffed and played his remaining club to the king.

SINGLETON SPADE When West followed suit, it was easy to conclude that he had a singleton spade and to finesse the ten after cashing the ace. South made six spade tricks, two club tricks and one in each red suit.

South would have had only a small problem if West had been able to ruff the second round of clubs and lead the queen of diamonds.

He would then simply discard a diamond on the club winner after cashing the ace of spades.

Finding your core preholiday can help with the bikini nerves!

33 Herald Health The writer tells nutritional therapist Rosanna Davison the truth about what she eats in an average week

NUTRITION CORNER

MY DAY ON A PLATE —Louise Kennedy — ÷ WHERE DO YOU SHOP? Lidl, mostly. For store cupboard stuff, Tesco or Dunnes. The local Asian market for spices, tubes of harissa, etc. ÷ DESCRIBE YOUR TYPICAL BREAKFAST? Brown toast spread with Marmite, topped with either mashed avocado and sliced tomato or a poached egg. And buckets of strong tea. ÷... TYPICAL LUNCH? A salad, maybe nicoise or Greek, bread, water, coffee. ÷... TYPICAL DINNER? In the winter, we eat a lot of Indian food, such as daals and curries and pilaffs. In the summer, we eat a lot of Lebanese food. When my husband cooks, we have pasta with meatballs, that sort of thing. ... TYPICAL DAILY ÷...

SNACKS? I have been known to eat chorizo from the packet while standing up. ÷ IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WON’T EAT?

Louise’s shopping list

Out of courtesy, I eat whatever is put in front of me. I draw the line at oysters, though. I had a couple of bad reactions after eating them and think I may be allergic.

● Lemons ● Garlic ● Avocados ● Broccoli ● Tomatoes ● Baby spinach ● French beans ● Bananas ● Apples ● Lettuce ● Scallions ● Cucumber ● Carrots ● Leeks ● Onions ● Potatoes ● Basmati rice ● Linguine ● Eggs ● Lardons ● Chorizo ● Serrano ham ● Chicken ● Minced Beef ● Turkey escalopes ● Salmon portions ● Diced lamb ● Feta cheese ● Red lentils ● Canned Chickpeas ● Canned tuna ● Tinned tomatoes ● Passata ● Butter ● Greek yoghurt ● Milk ● Oats ● Granary bread ● Bagels ● Frozen peas ● Wine ● Beer

÷ WHAT WOULD YOU COOK TO IMPRESS SOMEONE? I would beg a couple of lobsters from a friend who has pots in Sligo. I would make ‘Dublin Lawyer’, a Theodora Fitzgibbon recipe that just adds whiskey, cream and a little chopped parsley to chunks of lobster flesh. New potatoes, along with a salad of Croghan Gardens’ leaves and herbs. Afterwards, I would serve oozy cheese and sourdough bread and my own chutney. ÷ GUILTY FOOD PLEASURE? I feel guilty about everything I eat. ÷ ULTIMATE COMFORT FOOD CURE? Hot apple crumble that’s slightly bitter, with Bird’s custard.

÷

÷ TAKEAWAY ORDER? I don’t eat much takeaway food, but when visiting my parents, I am partial to the salt and pepper chicken wings and char sui pork from Silk’s in Malahide.

HAVE YOU TRIED ANY DIET FADS RECENTLY? No. Unless you count the diet I start every Monday.

÷ WHAT WOULD BE YOUR LAST SUPPER? I read somewhere that most people on death row request fast food for their last meal, which struck me as kind of heart-breaking. In solidarity with them, I would order a large Big Mac Meal. With a full-fat Coke, for once.

Rosanna’s Verdict

I

Log your food

6

Set multiple targets Create several daily targets to help you achieve an overall goal. 10,000 steps burns around 400 calories; consuming your RDA of around 50g of protein should help to keep you feeling full, while tooth-brushing squats on a Monday, wallpush ups on a Tuesday and hoovering lunges on a Saturday, will all add up pretty quickly.

7

Discover the joys of journaling Worthy? Yes. But also highly effective.

Logging what you’re eating might mean you think twice about devouring a whole packet of biscuits (if we told you you’d need to walk nearly a mile to burn off a single Hobnob, you might reconsider).

Download the My Fitness Pal app and log all your food in it. You can scan in anything with a barcode too, which does make the whole process a lot more pain-free.

LOVE to hear of variety in food shopping, and Louise makes the effort to buy different products from a range of stores. She buys various spices and other versatile ingredients including tahini and harissa. It’s a great idea to have a cupboard stocked up with a multitude of herbs, spices and nut butters to help add flavour to meat, veggies, curries and salads. Tahini makes a delicious addition to salad dressings, dips and even smoothies, and it’s also one of the best plant-based sources of calcium.

Louise’s shopping list features loads of whole, fresh foods, including plenty of colourful veggies to help her reach her daily intake. She buys chicken, turkey and salmon amongst other animal foods as her protein sources, as well as oats and granary bread as her complex carbs.

Overall, Louise’s shopping list shows super variety and awareness of the importance of eating a wide range of vegetables and complete protein foods to support good health. She does include a few treat items, such as beer and wine. But once enjoyed in moderation, I believe that it’s healthy to have a treat to look forward to each week. It’s important to reward positive health and lifestyle choices with a little indulgence, once it’s not an everyday occurrence.

For breakfast, Louise usually has brown toast with marmite and avocado, tomato or a poached egg. This is a great start to the day and should help to boost Louise’s energy levels all morning. Brown bread contains more fibre and B vitamins than the more processed white version, while avocado is a satisfying and filling source of healthy fats, plus minerals including potassium and magnesium. It’s a good idea to eat protein with every meal and snack, and egg is one of the best sources of complete protein there is. Paired with fibre and vitamin-rich plant foods, it makes a

nutritious first meal of the day.

Louise’s lunch is generally a salad, featuring feta cheese or fish. A salad makes a great lunch as it’s easier to digest than a heavier cooked meal and this helps to support afternoon energy levels. Adding a protein source such as poultry, fish, cheese, beans, nuts, seeds or quinoa and some healthy fats like avocado, walnuts, olives or olive oil, helps to make it a balanced meal. Many people prefer to eat carbohydrate foods earlier in the day rather than later, and sweet potato, butternut squash, brown rice, millet and quinoa make super additions to a lunchtime salad as they contain slow-release carbs and plenty of dietary fibre.

‘ Garlic is considered to be highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial and features heavily in many Middle-Eastern cuisines’

WEL DONEL!

For dinner, Louise enjoys Indian and Lebanese dishes. These tend to be nutritious and vegetable-rich, with plenty of warming spices. Garlic is considered to be highly anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, and features heavily in many Eastern and Middle-Eastern cuisines.

Louises’s diet is very nutritious, with plenty of vegetables and lean proteins. It’s low in processed foods and refined sugar, with her guilty food pleasures and comfort foods presumably being a treat from time to time.

Portion control is probably the only issue with Indian-style dishes as they tend to be richer, but otherwise, her approach to eating is sensible, balanced and sustainable. Well done Louise.

Writer Louise Kennedy will facilitate a free writing workshop ‘Sense of Place’ at the Tread Softly... festival, 10am–5pm on July 24 at Sligo Central Library. Booking is essential. See www.treadsoftly.ie

DOCTOR

Help! I’m in my 30s but my

hair is

thinning DEAR DOCTOR, I’m in my late 30s and I think my hair is starting to thin at the front of the hairline by the forehead — I cannot believe this is happening to me. I’m not doing anything different food or lifestyle-wise but I am not imagining it. When it’s windy at all now, I wear a hat as I do not want other people to notice — when the wind whips my hair back my forehead looks huge.

Is there anything I can do to stop this getting worse?

A

I am not sure if you are male or female, but thinning of the hair around the hairline can cause significant psychological distress for patients.

Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition inherited from both mother and father and usually begins with a receding frontal hairline that can progress to a bald patch on top of the head.

This, as you know, is very common.

However, it is very uncommon for women to bald in a similar pattern to men, unless they have excessive production of male hormones and these women tend also to suffer from acne, irregular menses and excessive facial and body hair.

The rate of normal hair loss ranges from 50 to 100 hairs per day.

In general, autoimmune diseases can cause frontal thinning. These conditions

include thyroid disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes and lupus. Unfortunately, even good adherence to medication with these conditions will not prevent the associated hair loss.

Significant weight loss, iron deficiency anaemia and major psychological stress are other common causes of hair loss. In these cases, the chance of hair regrowth improves with the treatment of the underlying condition. It’s worth mentioning that temporary hair loss following childbirth is also a common complaint.

If none of the above applies to you, then

‘Thinning of the hair around the hairline can cause significant psychological distress in patients’ you need to consider a hair-loss disorder.

These can be either scarring scalp conditions (eg. discoid lupus or frontal alopecia), which tend to cause permanent hair loss, or non-scarring scalp conditions (eg. alopecia areata or female pattern hair loss),

where the hair follicle is not destroyed, and spontaneous or treatment-induced hair regrowth can occur.

Your GP will be able to spot which of the above is affecting you. Getting your male and female sex hormone levels, as well as thyroid function, tests may be helpful.

Rarely, patients need referral to a dermatologist.

Treatments can be topical, such as steroids or minoxidil solution, or oral medications with an anti-inflammatory effect (eg. steroids or antibiotics), and oral medications that block the effects of male hormones (eg. finasteride).

Finally, hair transplantation or plugging of hair follicles from the back of the scalp to the front can work well for most causes of hair loss with the notable exception of alopecia areata as the hair will not grow in that area.

Hair transplant results can vary depending on the technique and skill of the hair restoration surgeon.

The secrets to being charismatic

By clinical psychologist Linda Blair

‘HOW CAN I FEED MY KIDS ENOUGH FRUIT AND VEG WHEN ON A BUDGET?’ DEAR DOCTOR, I’ve read that you’re now supposed to eat 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day as opposed to the previously advised five.

To be honest, I think this would be hard to do, but more concerning is the fact that it would be really expensive, and with three children to feed, I don’t think we could afford it. What’s your advice when it comes to making sure we’re all getting enough fruit and veg?.

A

The latest advice is three portions of fruit and three portions of vegetables per day. Getting fresh, ripe fruit can be a challenge, but generally, vegetables stay fresh for a good few days.

I don’t believe price is prohibitive when you consider the negative impact of a poor diet on our health. You need to ask yourself: are you prepared to put the time, money and effort into feeding your children homecooked, nutritious food — and think of the long-term benefits of doing so.

My advice is to start the day as you mean to go on, with one portion of fruit such as mixed berries with apple or banana in porridge. Consider adding pine nuts, chopped almond or walnuts with plenty of seeds such as pumpkin, flaxseed or linseed to boost your intake of protein and omega-3.

You should limit your intake of highly processed refined carbohydrates, even when fortified, such as white bread, baked goods and cereals, as you have to question their nutritional content, and there are plenty of healthier alternatives. Always look at the sugar content, aiming for less than 5g per 100g in cereal, granola, yoghurts and snacks in general. Putting one or two portions of fruit in your child’s lunch box is a must — for example, a mandarin, a small bunch of grapes, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a few slices of pear, kiwi, nectarine or cantaloupe always go down a treat.

Dinner time is a great opportunity to present colourful bite-sized portions of broccoli, baby corn, peas, carrots, turnip or even diced butternut squash in risotto, for example.

Children in the developed world do not starve to death, but they may become obese and get early tooth decay if they do not eat a healthy balanced diet. It may be difficult to convince children of the nutritious benefits of wholefoods, fruits and vegetables, but remember, you are the grown up and you need to outsmart them with positive reinforcement and incentives.

Lastly, as parents we should model good behaviour and make time to explain the importance of healthy eating to our children.

‘SHOULD I STILL BE HAVING CERVICAL SMEARS EVEN THOUGH I’M OVER 60?’

DEAR DOCTOR, I’m over 60 now and can’t get a free smear any longer, but does this mean I don’t need it? I hear lots of stories about older women getting awful silent types of cancers, so I’m just wondering how often I need to be getting checked?

A

This is very much down to your past history and risk factors, as well as your own personal choice. Sadly, in countries that do not have access to cervical cancer screening, cervical cancer remains the second most common type of cancer and cause of cancer deaths in women.

If you have been adequately screened up to this point in your life with no previous abnormal smears, no new partners and you are a non-smoker, then your risk is very low.

The incidence of cervical cancer peaks in the mid-reproductive years and begins

to decline in the fourth decade of life.

For women 65 years and older who have undergone adequate prior screening, the harms of further screening may outweigh the benefits.

It may sound a little morbid, but older women are less likely to realise the benefits of screening because of competing causes of death.

Cervical cancer is no more aggressive in older women, and high-grade lesions are rare among older women who have been previously screened.

If, on the other hand, you have any signs or symptoms that may suggest a disorder of the cervix (eg. abnormal or postmenopausal bleeding, abnormal discharge, pelvic pain, or change in bowel or bladder function), you should certainly see your GP to discuss the need for investigations.

This is such a common problem. One thing busy couples tend to miss is spontaneity and passion. Some worry that when this goes, it’s a sign their relationship is in trouble.

But this is a normal development for couples with busy lives and children. Some couples find ways to stay connected but many just hope and expect the time, energy and motivation to appear miraculously.

It might not sound romantic, but what’s really needed is planning. Think about the planning and scheduling needed to ensure your children are clean, fed, safe and rested. Then add school, play-dates, quality time with you and all the rest.

Then, there’s the shopping and housework, and if you’ve any time left, there’s your own socialising, exercise and self-care. That’s all before fitting a job in there. All these things have to be prioritised and planned. If intimacy isn’t on the list, it won’t get a look in. And if you plan it for last thing at night, you’ll be too tired.

Get out your diaries and schedule some time alone without devices or talk of domestic issues.

Use the time to remember why you fell in love and what you like about each other now.

Maybe you can risk being vulnerable by talking about deeper feelings, desires, disappointments, fears. A really great approach to these dates is to agree to meet as strangers. Choose to leave the history and baggage at home and allow room for not knowing everything about each other.

Curiosity is sexy and intimate. Ask questions and really listen to the answers. Try this without being defensive.

You can plan adventures without worrying too

much if they’ll ever happen. It takes you out of your exhaustion and into a creative space where your imagination is working and you’re learning about each other again.

At home, check just how conducive your bedtimes are to intimacy. If you have little ones sleeping in bed with you, you may need to either move them out (depending on age etc) or find more inventive ways to connect. A passionate snog behind the utility room door and a quick grope as you put away the shopping can be pretty exciting if you’re both open to it.

Get your kit off! Sleeping naked has a magical effect for many. Cuddle and caress each other.

Hold each other in a loving embrace and look into each other’s eyes. Why do you love each other? What do you love about being naked together? Say the words. Don’t assume your partner knows. This may be all you have energy for sometimes, so it’s important to allow for variety when connecting.

Agree to be sexual with each other without

‘Sleeping naked has a magical effect for many’ always expecting full penetration, which can feel daunting for tired people. What about gifting some good loving to each other? A little bit of oral or masturbation? What about masturbating yourselves while kissing and staying close? Sexual energy can be shared and enjoyed in many ways if you are open to options.

I’ve seen fantastic fun had by couples who develop their own code around being sexual so they can plan and discuss things in front of their kids. It’s playful and totally appropriate and takes away a limitation. I know someone who refers to masturbation as “polishing her jelly tot”. It’s

not too difficult to hear her partner offering to do some polishing later tonight or her saying how well he did it last night.

Q

When my girlfriend and I have a fight, she refuses to let me touch her for days after even though we’ve made up. She sometimes even sleeps in the spare room. How can I change this?

THE HERALD WEDNESDAY 19 JULY 2017

Star quality

Seat Ateca – Germanic quality and Spanish flair Geoff Frazer SOME people would say Ireland has gone crossover-crazy in the past decade. However, Seat’s devilishly good-looking Ateca definitely proves there’s method behind that madness.

Based on the Leon platform, this car is impressive in just about every department, scoring highly in the practicality, comfort and driving ability stakes.

Get behind the wheel and you immediately notice that the seating position is just about perfect.

Visibility is good all round and both the front and back seats are surprisingly comfortable on any length of journey.

Firing up the 148bhp, 2.0-litre diesel engine in my test car, it pulled strongly from low revs with more than enough power for swift overtaking manoeuvres.

Compared with a Renault Kadjar the ride can be slightly firm, but the upside is that body control is tight, with a minimum amount of roll in the corners.

Get out on to some twisty country roads and it actually feels quite

New Insignia goes upmarket, dumping the saloon design in favour of a super-sexy coupe called Grand Sport — and it’s really going to shake things up, writes Philip Hedderman IT has taken almost 10 years to get here, but the arrival of the new Insignia has been worth the wait. The design team in Russlesheim didn’t adapt the Germanic mantra – evolution not revolution.

Oh, no – this is what you’d call an inyer-face, take-no-prisoners, do-or-die approach to shaking up the market.

Inspired by the stunning Monza concept, Opel has taken a serious gamble by dumping the saloon styling in favour of a sleeker coupe silhouette.

The more angular design is superaggressive, with slimline LED headlamps and prominent grille giving it much-needed stand-out-from-thecrowd appeal.

LUXURIOUS It’s bigger too, with the wheelbase stretched by 92mm and its tracks widened by 11mm.

It also sits 29mm lower and its sweeping roof, crisp shoulder line and pert bottom make it a serious rival to the Audi A5 and the just-launched VW Arteon.

Inside, the new Insignia goes for the premium jugular with a state-ofthe-art cabin that’s loaded with tech.

The lowered wrap-around cockpit has a luxurious feel, with leather finish on the dash complemented by chrome inlays and piano black finish.

A high definition, seven-inch colour touchscreen dominates the centre console. It’s home to the Intellilink infotainment system with sat nav Apple CarPlay and Google Android connectivity.

Real gadget geeks (my 14-year-old

son) will love the Siri voice command for phone, messaging and music streaming (it comes as standard).

Other kit on the entry level SC model includes 17-inch alloys, keyless entry, LED lights front and rear, air con, cruise control and leather multi-function steering wheel.

The highlight, though, has to be Opel’s OnStar service, which connects the car to a call centre 24/7. If you’re involved in a collision or one of the airbags is activated, the car sends an SOS message to the operator who in turn notifies the emergency services with your exact location.

I used OnStar to upload sat nav directions to the Royal Hospital Kilmainham (which criss-crosses LUAS tracks) and it proved a godsend.

The package also comes with in-car

4G wi-fi hotspot for up to seven devices, which beats a game of I-Spy any day.

Irish customers have a choice of either a new 1.5-litre turbo-charged petrol with 140bhp or a 1.6 Whisper Diesel in both 110 and 136bhp.

Those looking for a little more oomph can opt for the 2.0-litre oil burner, which generates 170bhp. Topping the range (sadly, the savagely brilliant OPC is no more) is a 2.0-litre petrol with a stonking 260bhp, twinned to a new eight-speed automatic box with all-wheel drive – unique to this segment.

Drive-wise, we tested the midrange SRi 1.6 diesel, which proved a very pleasant experience. The almost silent power plant is not only one of the punchier out there, with plenty of grunt and oceans of low down

torque, it’s one of the most economical, returning well over 55mpg (3.9 litres/100kms) and annual tax of €200.

Steering is light, precise and well weighted on more challenging roads (activate Sports button in drive mode), while the reduced weight (175kgs lighter that its predecessor) gives it almost hot hatch handling. But it’s most at home as a cruiser and simply relished the motorway, gobbling up mile after mile effortlessly.

It was so comfy too (our test car had leather AGR ergonomic sports seats), and coupled with head-up display and active cruise control it really took the pain out of longer jaunts.

It looks like granny was right – good things come to those who wait.

The new Opel Insignia is priced from €27,350.

NEW A8 WILL PARK ITSELF IN UNDERGROUND CAR PARK WITH PHONE APP NOW in its fourth generation, Audi’s flagship A8 is not only the most striking, it’s the benchmark for technology moving ever-closer to fully autonomous driving.

The luxury limo is the first production car developed specially for autopilot. Among the vast array of cutting-edge software is traffic jam pilot, which takes charge of driving in slow-moving traffic at up to 60kph on motorways where a physical barrier separates the two carriageways.

The system is

CLASSIFIEDS

activated using the AI button on the centre console. The gizmo manages starting, accelerating, steering and braking. The driver no longer needs to monitor the car permanently.

If you think that’s cool, you must check out Audi AI remote parking and garage pilot, which independently steers the A8 into and out of a parking space or a garage while the manoeuvre is monitored by the driver, either inside or outside the car.

Using the new myAudi app, you can monitor everything through the car’s 360-degree cameras.

sporty. There is some wind and tyre noise, but it never becomes too intrusive.

The quality of the cabin is good, but falls slightly behind the fit and finish of the Volkswagen Tiguan.

It’s also somewhat dated compared with the competition, though to be fair, everything is well laid out and perfectly functional.

Families will be glad to hear that the boot has 510 litres of space, while there’s enough room for five adults to travel without causing a row in the back.

My top-of-the-range XCELLENCE four-wheel-drive model had LED headlights and a very sharp set of 18-inch alloy wheels, and came with a brilliant panoramic sunroof as an added option.

Even without all the bells and whistles, the angular lines of this car will look good in any spec.

Prices for the base model Ateca start at a very reasonable €25,120, which means it’s battling against the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai Tucson and Renault Kadjar for sales.

To be honest, this is a much better car than all of them.

HARBA shed her maiden tag at the fourth attempt and can kick on again in the Watch Racing UK On Youview Now Handicap.

Two runs last year yielded little joy but the daughter of Frankel has shown much more this term, finishing third on her return before opening her account at Beverley last month.

While she only triumphed by a neck on the Westwood, Harba is clearly improving with each outing and can continue on an upward curve.

GOLDEN GUEST can make a quick return pay dividends in the Aeropak Handicap at Yarmouth.

weeks ago, overcoming a wide position on the track to win by a neck in a bunch finish.

Jane Elliott was seen to good effect that day and her 5lb claim should once again be a valuable asset as Golden Guest races off a 3lb higher perch this time.

PRETTY PASSE made a fair start to her career when second at Doncaster earlier this month and she can put the experience to good use in the 4Head Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.

A high-sister to eight winners, Pretty Passe got going all too late on Town Moor, eventually finishing half a length behind a better-fancied William Haggas stablemate.

She sticks at seven furlongs but should be much more streetwise for this assignment.

Wood Breizh is a horse that has proved somewhat disappointing in recent months and although looking to have a decent chance in the 2m6f handicap hurdle, the filly, Ask Susan, is preferred at a better price.

Ask Susan was a winner of a mares’ race at Down Royal last month and subsequently posed no threat to the winner in her first handicap at Bellewstown.

But that experience would have done her the world of good.

She looks like a runner that will be overpriced and has enough form in the book to suggest she can make a mark on this field.

Mullins sends a strong team to Killarney for their penultimate day of this July Meeting and Lagostovegas will be popular in the MC Group Handicap, with Pat Smullen booked to ride. However, Tony Martin’s Prince Charmin is trusted to come back to winning ways here.

A two-time hurdle winner earlier in the year, he ran well at Ballinrobe over 1m5f last time and this further step up to 2m1f should bring about enough improvement to score here under the talented Oisin Orr.

Racing begins with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, where Pandagreen gets a confident vote.

The daughter of Casamento was trainer Gavin Cromwell’s first ever two-year-old winner when scoring at Leopardstown last year and having won at Leopardstown again in May, Pandagreen was unlucky not to follow that up at Down Royal in the Ulster Oaks.

The gaps just never really appeared for Wayne Lordan on that occasion and the pair can put that right this time around.

Meanwhile, Darley Irish Oaks winner Enable is likely to take on the fillies again on her next start with the Yorkshire Oaks preferred to a meeting with the colts in the King George at Royal Ascot.

The King George would see the dual Oaks winner meet older rivals and colts for the first time just two weeks after her win at the Curragh last Saturday.

Golf Padraig Harrington (right) with Shane Lowry.

Harrington won’t rule himself Phil Casey PADRAIG Harrington is refusing to rule out another “fairytale” Open Championship victory at the scene of his second consecutive victory.

Harrington defeated current Masters champion Sergio Garcia in a play-off to lift the Claret Jug for the first time at Carnoustie in 2007, albeit only after making a double bogey on

ROSE: DON’T WRITE RORY OFF

the 72nd hole.

But he won in style the following year at Royal Birkdale, firing an eagle on the 17th hole in the final round on his way to becoming the first European to win back-to-back titles since James Braid in 1906.

And after returning to Birkdale on the back of a tie for fourth in the Scottish Open on Sunday, the 45-year-old Dubliner deserves to be considered

a legitimate contender for a fourth major title.

“The way I did it in 2008 is how you would you dream of winning a major as a 15-yearold kid,” Harrington said.

“Everything went right. I did everything nice and beautiful, swung the club well, (played in the) last group, all the little things.

“The way I won at Carnoustie, I don’t think as a

15-year-old you’re going to dream of double-bogeying the last with a one-shot lead as your dream way of winning the Open.

“They’re all wins and you’ve got to take them when you get them. In my career I’ve seen some good wins and some bad wins and sometimes the difficult ones, the ones that you possibly shouldn’t have got, are the most fun.

xxxxx RORY McIlroy could prove the doubters wrong and emerge from his “slump” at any time, according to Olympic champion Justin Rose.

McIlroy comes into this week’s Open Championship at Royal Birkdale on the back of three missed cuts in his last four events, including the defence of his Irish Open title and US Open.

That means the world number four, who has twice been sidelined by a rib injury this season, has played just 10 competitive rounds since mid-May. But Rose, who was out of action for eight weeks with a back problem shortly after claiming Olympic gold in Rio last year, believes McIlroy is more than capable of producing a special performance out of the blue.

“The one thing about Rory is as soon as you question him, he’ll do something special and turn it all around,” Rose said.

SLUMP

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy during practice ahead of the British Open at Royal Birkdale.

“It’s happened a few times in his career where people say he’s in a bit of a slump and then he’ll win the FedEx Cup. So never worry about him from that point of view.”

Speaking about the injury which 2014 Open champion McIlroy sustained during extensive equipment testing over the winter, Rose added: “I think sometimes when you’re actually in the middle of the injury itself, it’s not that frustrating because you have a process.

“You have to be very diligent with your rehab, and you’re a bit easier on yourself because of that.

“But when you come out of the injury phase and you feel good and you feel fresh and you feel ready to play golf again, you somewhat expect your game to be there.

“You can hit as many balls on the range sometimes as you want, but there’s something to be said for just being tournament sharp. He’s probably somewhere in the middle of that.

“He’s missed a couple of cuts, but those might be the sort of competitive practices and runs that he needed just to start to get sharp again.”

Rose himself will take inspiration from the unlikely combination of Lego and Roger Federer as he seeks to take care of some “unfinished business”.

“But to believe that there’s a certain perfection to winning is very naive. It’s very rare that it’s beautiful and perfect. It’s normally a little bit ragged and you just have to make the most of it.

“It’s dreaming, fairytale stuff to think it should go that way, but it did in 2008 for me.”

Harrington would be the second oldest winner of the Open - behind Old Tom Morris

in 1867 - if he can triumph at Birkdale again and certainly is not lacking in confidence.

“I will always go back to the Shane Lowry quote (about me), that I think I’m going to win in weeks I’m not even playing,” Harrington joked.

“So clearly I think I’m a credible contender on any golf course, but bring me to a links golf course and it gives me an advantage for sure.”

England’s Justin Rose in action during a practice round ahead of the British Open.

McIlroy capable of hitting form at just the right time for Birkdale challenge but it’s the one tournament that I’ve dreamed about since I was a young boy.

“You’d take a major championship anywhere, but if they happen to line up a special venue, for me to do it at Royal Birkdale would be obviously a full-circle moment.

“To win it would kind of close the book in a way on my Open Championship story.

There’s no rush, but certainly

“

“

Rose burst onto the scene when he finished fourth at this year’s venue of Royal Birkdale as a 17-year-old amateur in 1998, famously holing his approach to the 72nd hole for a closing birdie.

That moment has now been immortalised in a 25-second film in which a Lego version of the Olympic champion recreates his 45-yard pitch, which was his last shot as an amateur and secured his best result in the Open to date.

“It surprises me after all these years that is still the best finish,” admitted Rose, who won the US Open in 2013 and lost a play-off to Sergio Garcia in the Masters in April.

“And, yeah, because of that (I have) unfinished business for sure. I don’t want to say that if I don’t win this it’s going to be a huge sort of hole in my career,

As soon as you question him he’ll do something special.

I’m into the do-it-now phase of my career.”

At 36, Rose is a year older than Federer, who beat Marin Cilic to claim his eighth Wimbledon title at the All England Club on Sunday.

Rose and his wife Kate looked on from the Royal Box and the Ryder Cup star believes he can learn a lot from Federer as he looks to become the first English winner of the Open since Nick Faldo in 1992.

GRACE

“Roger is the sporting athlete I look up to,” Rose added.

“Everything he does is pretty much spot on; the way he handles himself, the grace in which he plays the sport I think is incredible.

“Mentally how he doesn’t give much away I think is a style that’s well suited to golf,

too, and that’s one of the reasons I really wanted to go to Wimbledon.

“Yes, I’m watching the tennis, but I’m watching him more than anything and seeing what I can pick up. There are a few tricks here and there that you can apply to golf. I’ve always found it a bit easier to learn from other sportsmen than I have from golfers.

“You’re trying to beat your competition here, whereas I can be completely impressed and awed by Federer because I never have to face him. It’s a much easier environment to learn when you don’t have to compete against that person.

“The whole occasion and the Royal Box was amazing. I worked hard last week. It was the perfect Sunday to take off to sort of enjoy a day before heading up here.”

‘Sick’ Martin drops back in Tour battle CHRIS Froome fought through fierce crosswinds to retain the yellow jersey as Michael Matthews won a frantic stage 16 of the Tour de France to Romans-sur-Isere.

Froome’s Team Sky took the initiative in causing late splits in the peloton, protecting his narrow lead as Irishman Dan Martin (pictured) was caught out and lost 51 seconds.

Only 22 riders made it into the front group, but that was still enough for a select sprint, with Australian Matthews claiming his second stage win in a photo finish ahead of Norway’s Edvald Boasson Hagen.

German John Degenkolb finished third but remonstrated with Matthews afterwards, claiming the Team Sunweb rider blocked his sprint.

The peloton battled strong winds over the 165-km stage from Le Puy-en-Velay, but the much-anticipated splits did not come until late in the day as Sky decided attack was the best form of defence.

Froome said: “For us it was more about just being on the right side of it. Knowing it was going to kick off on that open section in the last 20 kilometres to go, the guys committed to that and we saw the gaps opening out straight away.

“We weren’t really concerned about what the other teams were doing. It was more about what we needed to do and being in the right place

and the right time for us.”

Froome leads the Tour, the closest in history at this stage in the race, by 18 seconds from Italian national champion Fabio Aru, with Frenchman Romain Bardet a further five seconds back.Colombian Rigoberto Uran is fourth, only 29 seconds down.

Martin dropped to seventh overall, two minutes and three seconds back, with Bury rider Simon Yates of Orica-Scott up to sixth in the best young riders’ white jersey, one second ahead of Martin.

“I was a bit sick yesterday and then some of the other guys have been sick as well,” Martin said. “The team’s really struggling today. We put on a brave face hoping that they would be able to protect me but in the end I only had Gianluca (Brambilla) and Jack.

“They did an incredible job all day. Jack was killing it at the end. I wasn’t in a bad position, but it was probably me who didn’t have the legs.”

IRELAND finished a fighting second overall behind all-conquering England at the weekend’s SIAB Schools International in Santry.

Highlights of the day included victory for the Irish girls in the 100m relay, with Patience Jumbo Gula bringing the team home after hard work by Lauren Roy, Rhasidat Adeleke and Niamh Foley.

In a thrilling boys’ 4x400m, which was the final event of the day, the Irish team caught and passed Scotland for second on the final leg.

Earlier Jumbo Gula, of St Vincent’s Dundalk, had won the 100m in 12.21. Her school mate Kate O’Connor won the javelin with a throw of 49.26m.

Star of the men’s team was Darragh McElhinney of Coláiste Pobail Bantry who won the 1500m.

Gina Akpe Moses of Blackrock Louth AC with a time of 11.56 secs is ranked seventh

AFTER Brian Gregan’s sizzling time of 45.26 secs at the Morton Game, the men’s 400m is certain to be one of the highlights in this weekend’s Irish Life Health National Track and Field Championships in Santry.

With much of the hot young talent away at the European U20 Championships, in Grosseto, Italy Gregan is a pretty safe bet to win the race.

About the only question is whether the conditions will allow him to get closer to breaking 45 seconds. Gregan is already the second fastest Irishman and would dearly love to consign David Gillick’s 2009 Irish record of 44.77 secs to the history books.

Mane clear to play

Jose has ‘no idea’ over Perisic Simon Peach

JOSE Mourinho has “no idea” what is happening with Manchester United’s move for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.

So far this summer Benfica defender Victor Lindelof and Everton striker Romelu Lukaku have arrived at Old Trafford.

Mourinho still wants two more signings and a move for Inter’s Perisic is reportedly edging towards completion.

Asked for an update on the transfer after the 2-1 friendly win at Real Salt Lake, Mourinho said as he left the press conference: “No idea. No idea my friend. No idea.”

United are said to be close

to agreeing a £48million fee for the Croatia international after prolonged talks with the Serie A side.

Chelsea defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic is another reported target for Mourinho, while it is understood United maintain an interest in Tottenham’s Eric Dier.

Meanwhile, Lukaku and fellow new boy Lindelof both got another 45 minutes at Rio Tinto Stadium, where Henrikh Mkhitaryan cancelled out Luis Silva’s opener for Real Salt Lake on a night that saw Antonio Valencia sent off after Juan Mata sustained an ankle injury in a 2-1 win.

The Spaniard, who is likely to be out for a week, had only

just come on as Mourinho named entirely different lineup for the second half.

That approach will be tweaked slightly when the International Champions Cup that kicks off against Manchester City in Houston on Thursday - the first time the Manchester derby will have been played on foreign soil after last summer’s friendly in Beijing was called off.

Glamour ties against Real Madrid and Barcelona quickly follow, but Mourinho is more interested in his side’s development than winning those matches. “I will try to go for 60 (minutes), 30 (minutes),” the United boss said of his planned rotation.

SADIO Mane will join Liverpool’s pre-season trip to Germany after being cleared to resume full training next week.

RAFAHAPPYWITH TOON’SSPENDING EARLY last summer, with Newcastle United relegated, Rafa Benitez weighed up his options.

“My target, if I stay,” he mused. “Is one year in the Championship and five in the Premier League. If I decide to stay it is because I have confidence we can get the job done.”

Benitez met the challenge of rebuilding a squad capable of competing successfully in the Championship, while keeping the supporters onside, and by the end of April had taken Newcastle back to the Premier League.

In doing so, he created a whole new set off managerial problems for himself.

First on his agenda was persuading club owner Mike Ashley of the need to introduce players to the squad who would help The Magpies compete at the highest level.

Twenty-four days out from the opening game of the new season against Tottenham Hotspur, Benitez has the air of an affable building contractor who has a snag list and an impending deadline.

Of course he wants the club to do well in all competitions but the experienced manager admits it’s too early to outline a realistic set of expectations.

“It’s too early because I hope to sign some good players before the end of the transfer window,” he explains. “We have to adjust. We have to have a good team and prepare with the squad and compete in the Premier League. It’s one game at a time.”

Meeting and greeting supporters in the club owner’s Dublin store Sports Direct is part of the requirements of the job. And Benitez is courteous and diplomatic.

Has club owner Mike Ashley out-

Two-year-old Georgie Humpreys with his father Owen, is pictured in the new Sports Direct megastore on North Earl Street, Dublin where they got to meet stars from Newcastle, manager Rafa Benitez and five players Ciaran Clark, Isaac Hayden, Dwight Gayle, Jamaal Lascelles and Jonjo Shelvey.

lined his expectations for the season ahead?

“We had a conversation and we know more or less where we are,” says Rafa. “And now we have to try to set our target and move forward as fast as we can.”

Ashley, a colourful billionaire retail giant, bought into Newcastle United in 2007. Since then there have been, including caretaker and interim managers, eight gaffers at the club.

Rafa Benitez came after Steve McClaren, John Carver, Alan Pardew, Chris Hughton, Alan Shearer, Joe Kinnear and Kevin Keegan.

Benitez needed to know how much he had to spend in the transfer market and he also needed to know his decisions would be honoured.

“

Florian Lejuene from Eibar, Benitez welcomed Jacob Murphy, the England U-21 winger, to Carton House, where the team are training, ahead of joining the club, Rafa’s rebuilding programme is under way.

Atletico Madrid’s right-back Javier Manquillo, who spent last season on loan with Sunderland, seems set to be confirmed and Benitez has remarked, “Hopefully Mike can keep his word and we can do what we want to do.”

Yesterday, the boss was keeping his cards close to his chest.

“We’ve been linked with around 100 players,” he says.

“They talk about names, good players but now we have a lot of them here.

Normally, if we do well you don’t know.”

Would James McCarthy be on his list?

“If you’re asking me maybe it’s

because he’s not our first target at the moment,” says Rafa.

What of McCarthy’s Ireland international team-mate Ciaran Clark?”

“We were following him for some years and we knew we were signing a good player,” he replies. “Not just when we were talking about the Championship, he has experience in the Premier League. You don’t have too many centre-backs, left-footed, who can play the ball and can win in the air tactically is quite good.

He’s someone who still can improve because he’s keen to learn. He’s a great player for us.”

Might Lejeune dislodge Clark?

“Not really,” says Rafa. “My idea is to bring players in every position so they can compete. He (Lejeune) has to understand what it means in the Premier League, the intensity and the tempo. But at the same time he can compete with Jamaal Lascelles and Clark and anyone.”

While Daryl Murphy intends competing for his place, Benitez says he and the player have an understanding.

“Murphy is a great player with great experience but obviously we have some clubs asking about him,” he says. “He knows the situation. I’m really pleased with him. His contribution last year was really important.

Not just because he was playing some games and scoring goals. Also, in the dressing room he was so positive and in training he was an example.

“He’s the kind of player in a squad that always can help. In this case we are talking about maybe different thing in the Premier League but he knows and he’s already had offers because he’s a great player. He’s here training with us. I’ve been talking with him. He knows if somebody comes for him he can go but it has to be the best one for him.”

p Rafa Benitez was talking during a recent visit to Sports Direct’s new flagship Irish store at North Earl Street in Dublin today. NUFC’s new third kit is available at all Sports Direct stores and sportsdirect.com

boss Jurgen Klopp expects to have the 25-year-old available.

“Sadio is on the way back,” Klopp told the club’s official website. “The plan is he will come with us to Germany.

“The plan is he trains completely normally with us when we are back in England.

“We have been waiting long enough for him now. He is around (Melwood) all of the time and is in pretty good shape.

“Unfortunately he was not ready to train, but he looked good, (the injury) looks good and so now he should be fine when we get back.”

TRANSFER UPDATE

WEST HAM: The Hammers have report-

edly agreed a £24m fee with Stoke City for forward Marko Arnautovic.

The 28-year-old has expressed a desire to join West Ham this summer and last week handed in a transfer request in a bid to force through a move.

West Ham had failed with two bids for Arnautovic, the first at £15m and the second at £20m, but were expected to return with a third offer.

Arnautovic has not featured for Stoke since suffering a suspected knee injury in their 1-0 pre-season victory over Swiss side Neuchatel Xamax last week.

He joined Stoke from Werder Bremen for £2m in 2013 and scored 26 goals in over 100 appearances for the club.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Joe Hart sealed his loan move to the Hammers from Manchester City.

LIVERPOOL: Brazil international Lucas Leiva has completed his transfer from Liverpool to Italian club Lazio.

The 30-year-old joined the Reds in 2007 from Gremio and went on to make 346 appearances, winning the League Cup in 2012.

“Thank you for all the support, especially in difficult times, that’s when it means a lot. We all know that Liverpool fans are really special and they were always here for me,” the Brazilian said.

TOTTENHAM: Spurs have cooled their

interest in Ross Barkley as Everton’s £50m asking price has deterred suitors.

Meanwhile, Clinton Njie has joined Marseille on a permanent deal from Tottenham. The Cameroon forward (23) was on loan with the Ligue 1 club last season, having failed to secure a regular role at White Hart Lane.

CHELSEA: The Premier League championsa and Manchester City are going head-to-head to sign Brazilian defender Danilo this week. Danilo is desperate to leave Real Madrid in the hope of breaking into Brazil’s squad for next summer’s World Cup.

The Toffees’ Under-23s forward put pen-to-paper on a new deal with the Club which will run until the end of June 2018.

Wenger: ‘Sanchezis notforsale’

ARSENE WENGER has confirmed that Arsenal will not sell Alexis Sanchez this summer.

Sanchez last week stated his desire to play in the Champions League and hinted his mind was made up to leave the Emirates.

The 28-year-old has one year left on his contract, giving Arsenal a dilemma whether to cash in on the forward or potentially see him leave for free next summer.

Wenger, speaking ahead of the friendly against Bayern Munich in China, told reporters: “The decision has been made and we will stick to that.”

Asked what the decision was, Wenger added: “The decision is not to sell.”

Sanchez is attracting interest from the likes of Manchester City and Bayern and when questioned last week, appeared to suggest his future lay elsewhere.

But Wenger insisted he did not attach much significance to his star player’s comments.

“I do not give too much importance to things that are translated,” Wenger said. “The whole interview, which I got, did not really mean that (he only wants Champions League football). The main focus for us is on the Premier League, that for me is more important than the Champions League.”

Arsenal have already made a statement of intent this summer by signing France forward Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon for a club-record fee.

on their training camp in Spain and is determined to impress in pre-season.

“Last season was stop-start for me - now I’m ready to go again,” Byrne said.

“There were a couple of little hamstring niggles which I kind of expected after coming back from such a long time out. But I feel good now and I’m looking forward to all the training.

“I’ve been out for a long time and now I’m trying to impress David Unsworth and all the staff. I’m going to try and do my best. This contract has given me a big boost, so I’m looking forward to getting going.”

BARCELONA vice-president Jordi Mestre said last night that Neymar will be staying at the club, despite rumours linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

When asked during a press conference whether Neymar would be staying at Barcelona next season, Mestre replied: “200 per cent”.

Spanish reports have suggested PSG are looking to entice the Brazil international to the Parc des Princes after snapping up Neymar’s international team-mate Dani Alves on a free transfer.

“PSG want to finalise the signing of Neymar this summer”, wrote Catalan daily

Sport. Meanwhile, the Madrid-based AS newspaper led with the headline, “Neymar flirts with PSG”.

However, a report in French sports daily L’Equipe quoted a PSG club source saying: “We’re not going to repeat the Neymar show, there is a huge release clause and you have to be realistic.”

PSG have previously been linked with Neymar only for the striker to sign a new fiveyear deal with Barca last October. However, Sport wrote: “In the background of Neymar’s annoyance there’s always a concern, which has to do with his role in the team and his wish to become a leader.”

DAVID HOLDS Dundalk striker David McMillan is aiming to get on the scoresheet against Rosenborg again in this evening’s Champions League second qualifying round second leg tie in Trondheim, Norway.

Daniel McDonnell

IN NORWAY

WHEN Rosenborg went looking for a new striker last winter, they considered a move for Dundalk’s David McMillan but their plans changed when Nicklas Bendtner became available.

Their manager Kare Ingebrigtsen confirmed as much yesterday in Trondheim.

“His name came up but we found Nicklas so we were happy,” he said, with a smile.

Both forwards were born in 1988 but their football backgrounds couldn’t really be more different. Bendtner has Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga experience in addition to appearances at a World Cup and European Championships.

Dubliner McMillan arrived at Dundalk after a couple of spells at UCD, a stint in Australia and an unremarkable spell at Sligo Rovers. He still does a few hours every week as an architect.

But in last week’s first leg at Oriel Park, it was McMillan who made his mark while Bendtner was quite subdued.

“He’s a good striker, definitely, we looked at him, saw him, and he scored a lot of goals last year and this year as well so he’s definitely a good player who can play out of Ireland if he wants to,” added the Rosenborg coach.

The in-form front man will be hoping to provide Rosenborg with a further reminder of his ability in tonight’s decider at the Lerkendal Stadium.

McMillan has scored seven goals in Champions League qualifiers over the past three seasons and manager Stephen Kenny admits that he feared losing him over the winter.

Saints’ Pieta House partnership ST PATRICK’S Athletic have announced a new partnership with Pieta House which will see the charity’s logo feature on the Saints’ home and away jerseys for the remainder of the current season.

The new partnership will also see Pieta House work to provide counselling and lifestyle workshops to all the club’s sides including U15, U17 and U19 level.

Commenting on the unique link-up between both parties, St Patrick’s Athletic chairman Garrett Kelleher said: “All at St Patrick’s Athletic hope that this partnership between Pieta House and ourselves will serve to further the tremendous work Pieta House does in both our local community and nationally.”

Pieta House CEO Brian J Higgins said: “We are very grateful to St Pat’s for choosing to support Pieta House by displaying our logo on their jerseys.

“Partnerships of this kind are es-

sential to raise awareness of suicide and self-harm in our communities, and to make our vision - a world where suicide, self-harm, and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care and acceptance - a reality.

“It is so important to have male role models promoting wellness - physical, mental, and emotional - and challenging accepted masculine norms that place so much pressure on our men.”

St Pat’s manager Liam Buckley said: “Everyone knows the great work that Pieta House do in raising awareness around talking about mental health, so to have their staff work with our underage teams is a real boost,” he said.

The ex-Manchester City player spoke confidently about his players’ ability to raise their levels when it matters and set up a meeting with Celtic in the next round. It’s a quick turnaround for the winners with the first leg provisionally pencilled in for Glasgow next Wednesday with the return the following Tuesday.

“I think finances had been discussed and all of that and obviously it wasn’t anything we were going to compete with if the deal happened, but obviously it didn’t happen. I’d say, to be truthful, if the offer had been what he anticipated then he would have taken it.

“He certainly has improved

by adding and improving aspects of the game. Number one his heading ability, number two his movement in the box, number three his first touch has got better and the other thing that has got better is his hold-up play generally with his back to goal.”

Dundalk will need their lone striker to be influential if they are to succeed in their mission and bounce back from the disappointment of conceding an away goal at home in a game that Kenny feels they should have won. Ingebrigtsen would

Dundalk are trying to delay a final decision on what home venue they would use if they made it through with Tallaght Stadium more likely than the Aviva Stadium at this juncture.

They don’t want to get dragged into a discussion of the topic, especially as they are the outsiders to make it there so it’s all very hypothetical.

That said, Ingebrigtsten took issue with Kenny’s suggestion that it would be a ‘catastrophe’ for the hosts if they were to be eliminated at this stage of proceedings.

“There is no catastrophe in football,” he replied, “There are in other places but, no. For us it’s important to get into the group stages (but) we know where we are in European football. Everybody dreams to play in the Champions League but

I know it’s really difficult for a Norwegian team to get through to the group stage.

“We want to win the game and we will go into the game to win it. We think Dundalk have to score more than one goal if they are going to beat us.”

Kenny has indicated he is ready to pitch Stephen O’Donnell into battle after a good week’s training and that could mean Chris Shields dropping to the bench. He is less likely to take a risk in defence with Niclas Vemmelund only returning to training on Sunday after leaving the pitch in the first battle with a hamstring problem.

“I don’t want him playing and then coming off after 20 minutes,” said Kenny, “That’s a disaster for you as a manager, especially if you’re trying to win a game. Attacking substitutions are important.”

There is a belief in the visiting camp that they can upset the script. “From our point of view, we have a lot of motivation,” he continued, “We’re not booking our hotels for Glasgow but I’m sure they are. There is a lot of football to be played here and if we play as well as we did last week, then we have a great chance.

“We’re capable of stepping up again. We’re going to have to play the game of our lives, defend really well and put in an extraordinary performance but it’s not beyond us to try and get a result.”

Sport 53 Conte’s new Chelsea deal ANTONIO Conte has agreed a new two-year deal with Chelsea.

The new deal does not extend Conte’s commitment to the club, as he signed a three-year contract on his arrival in west London in the summer of 2016.

“I am very happy to have signed a new contract,” said the Italian, 47. “We worked extremely hard in our first year to achieve something amazing, which I am very proud of. Now we must work even harder to stay at the top.”

Conte lifted the Premier League title at the first attempt in the 2016-17 season, winning 30 games, which included a club record 13 consecutive victories.

Rodgers:Noissuewith Celts’disciplineas Linfieldreturnlooms Ronnie Esplin

BRENDAN Rodgers (above) insists discipline is not an issue at Celtic despite two UEFA charges arising from their Champions League qualifying clash with Linfield.

The European governing body opened a case against striker Leigh Griffiths for tying a Hoops scarf to a goal post after the 2-0 win at Windsor Park on Friday.

UEFA has also instigated disciplinary action against Celtic after picking up five yellow cards, one of which was controversially given to Griffiths for presumably taking too long at a corner when he was being pelted with missiles - including a glass bottle.

Ahead of the second leg of the second qualifying-round clash at Celtic Park tonight, where the Scotland striker could be struggling with a calf injury, boss Rodgers said: “The hearing is on Thursday so we will see what comes back from that.

“If you look over the course of my time my players are very disciplined in terms of how they play the game, tactically and composure in the game.

“Sometimes you get that in European games.

There were one or two that weren’t bookings as such but I don’t think you need to worry about the discipline of Celtic.

“We try to win any game of football in the most sporting way and best way we can, on the scoreboard and the way we play. The discipline is not an issue.”

Rodgers reiterated his surprise at Spanish referee Alejandro Hernandez’s decision to book Griffiths (above) and claimed it may have led to him making the scarf gesture.

The Northern Irishman said: “The booking seemed strange at the time, everyone in the stadium will recognise that.

“It is an incident I don’t want to go overboard on.

It is not something that we want to see at Windsor Park or any football ground.

“I was surprised like most people when he did get the booking, so it (Griffiths tying the scarf) could have been a bit of exuberance towards the end.”

Archershoots Dublininto U17decider

Rónán Mac Lochlainn

Dublin 1-16 Laois 1-14 DUBLIN advanced to the final of the Leinster Under 17 Football Championship following their narrow two point victory over Laois at O’Moore Park last night.

The teams were tied on three occasions but Dublin took control with six unanswered points with Ciaran Archer, John Foley, Adam Byrne, Jordan Leonard, Darragh Warnock and Niall Comerford all on target in a lively first-half showing.

The hosts received a massive boost when Niall Dunne converted a 22nd minute penalty but an Archer goal three minutes later pushed Dublin 1-11 to 1-5 clear by half-time.

Laois piled on the pressure after the break to trim their deficit to a solitary point but the visitors maintained their composure in a frantic finale as Foley and Archer added late points.

Dublin will play Meath in the final next Saturday after the Royals beat Kildare by 2-13 to 1-12.

KILKENNY: YOUMUST BEPATIENT WITHBALL ANDUSE ITWISELY

Ó Fearghaíl unaware of pitch problems

Conor McKeon

Aogán Ó Fearghaíl, with Roscommon’s Ciarán Murtagh, shows the Sam Maguire to kids of St Teresa’s GAA Club, Loughmacrory, Tyrone.

GAA President Aogán Ó Fearghaíl yesterday denied any knowledge Jim Gavin’s questioning of the state of a section of the pitch in Croke Park on Sunday.

Speaking at the launch of this year’s All-Ireland SFC in Loughmacrory GAA club in Tyrone, Ó Fearghaíl expressed his belief that “the Croke Park pitch gets more attention than any other in Ireland,” and suggested he had not been made aware of Gavin’s comments.

On Sunday, after his team’s Leinster final victory over Kildare at GAA headquarters, the Dublin manager insisted that GAA “need to have a

little reflection on” the timing of the Coldplay and U2 concerts which necessitated a replacement of the part of the Croke Park pitch closest to Hill 16.

“To turn it around so quick but going into a provincial final... is that the right thing to do to be replacing that part of the pitch, probably a fifth of the pitch?” he said.

The pitch was relayed after Coldplay’s sell-out concert on July 8 while ground staff in Croke Park began digging up that same section after Sunday’s match in preparations for next Saturday’s U2 gig.

“I could see both sets of players slipping in that part,” Gavin noted.

“It was very hard, that’s one thing

I’d say about it. It was probably for the management of Croke Park to have a look at it. A provincial showcase football game in Leinster, is that the right thing to do?”

And speaking at the same launch as Ó Fearghaíl - albeit at different times - Dublin forward Ciarán Kilkenny said he “noticed it straight away. That whole section of the field was nearly like an all-weather kind of a surface,” he explained.

When asked about Gavin and Kilkenny’s remarks, the GAA President claimed he was unaware, despite the fact that the Dublin manager’s criticisms made backpage news on Monday.

“I don’t know. I really don’t know.

The pitch in Croke Park gets more attention than any other in Ireland.

And I think any team that travels around and plays on other pitches, they’ll notice the care and attention that goes into it,” he added.

“If there’s an issue with it, I’m not really aware of it, to be honest with you.”

Meanwhile, Tyrone defender Ronan McNamee says he is certain that Mickey Harte will be in charge of Tyrone next year.

Harte, who led his team to a sixth Ulster title since taking over as manager in 2003 last Sunday, has also won three All-Irelands but only has an agreement with the county board until the end of this season.

T wasn’t long ago that Dublin’s paucity of high class forwards was considered their primary shortcoming and mourned as the reason they couldn’t quite cut it at All-Ireland level.

Now, they’re being asked to appraise each other.

“He’s a very, level-headed young man,” says Ciarán Kilkenny, Dublin’s last attacking prodigy about their newest one, Con O’Callaghan.

“He’s eager, he’s driven. And he’s willing to work really hard as well.

“That just shows that character of the young man. He doesn’t need much advice from me now. He just has a great head about him.”

The two have comparable characteristics, then.

Both started life as powerful, ball-winning, prolific inside forwards in the primary underage grades.

Both also displayed persuasive signs of having the right materials to thrive as inter-county hurlers before Jim Gavin converted each, at least for the moment, into prolific half-forwards.

“He knows what it’s about,” confirms Kilkenny.

“He’s similar enough in that he’s played so many hurling and football games for club, county, college that he has that experience.

“He knows how the game flows.

And he’s adapted to it really well. He’s a very strong player.”

Together, they combined to devastating affect in the half-forward line last Sunday in Croke Park, an area of the pitch where Alan Brogan’s retirement, Diarmuid Connolly’s suspension and Paul Flynn’s injury were supposed to conspire to thoroughly dilute Dublin’s potency.

As it happened, none of the forwards who started the 2011 All-Ireland final began last Sunday’s Leinster final and the chosen Dublin named attack bore just one All Star, Dean Rock.

Yet if anything, Dublin’s dominance in their province has hardened in this period of transitioning from that breakthrough team and the generation from which Kilkenny and O’Callaghan hail.

For his part, Kilkenny is eager to point out that it wasn’t always so.

“It’s important to recognise that and recognise where we are at the moment then as well,” he says, recalling feeling “devastated” as an 11-year-old in Croke Park at the final whistle of Dublin’s 2004 defeat to Westmeath.

“I remember vividly the Special Olympics music. I remember hearing that music loads around then and me

being devastated.

“All them lads out on the field and Stephen (Cluxton), they all would have been my heroes and inspired me to go on and play for Dublin,” he explains.

“I wanted to emulate them and I went on… you went out dreaming of playing for Dublin and dreaming of playing with these lads and pretending to be these lads and you just remember them years.

“It wasn’t that long ago. The window where you do play Gaelic football is very short in terms of it’s flown by for me.

“I’m nearly in my mid-20s so we just have to appreciate it as much as we can and try and perform and play as good as you can for as long as you can I suppose.”

The only season Kilkenny has missed out through injury, 2014, ended without a Dublin All-Ireland, so it feels like he has missed out on very little in a

This time last year, he was being praised for the number of touches he was having in matches and derided for the simplicity of his passes in equal measure.

in his output.

Kilkenny scored 0-4 in last year’s Leinster SFC compared to 1-8 this year, notably ending his goalscoring drought against Westmeath three weeks back.

“My Dad actually was devastated,” Kilkenny revealed, “because it was his 30th anniversary with my Mam to be married so they were away in South Africa on a safari so he couldn’t actually watch the game.

“So my Dad was devastated that he

was away for the game.

“Mossy (Quinn) and Alan Brogan were texting me afterwards slagging me saying: ‘About fecking time you got a goal’ or whatever, messing.

“Just a bit of craic like and a bit of slagging in the dressing room. It was nice to score a goal, a good buzz.

“Sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for the right opportunity and if it does open up then fair enough you go for it,” Kilkenny expands on his more prosaic movements in 2016.

“But you just have to be patient with the ball and my philosophy is to get the ball to the best man in the best position every time.

“There’s no point in me running down and three lads surrounding me, dispossessing me and getting a turnover.

“If I see someone else in a better position I think it’s very important to get them on the ball and if that’s going indirect then that’s fair enough.

“At any given moment, what’s best for the team – that’s what I’m willing to do,” Kilkenny adds, “and if that’s going direct or indirect that’s what I’m going to do.”

Laois boss Creedon assailed by delegate flak Frank Roche

Laois manager Peter Creedon

PETER CREEDON’S position as Laois football manager would appear in peril based on stinging criticism of his 12-month tenure at Monday night’s county board meeting.

Several club delegates were scathing in their assessment of Creedon’s maiden campaign and predicted that Laois football would continue on a downward spiral if he is handed a second year.

Among those leading calls for change was ex-Laois star Mick Lawlor. “From what I saw this year, if he was held on to, you could end up putting Laois football back five or six years,” the Emo chairman asserted.

“My honest opinion on it is that there is no way he can be let stay in charge for another year.”

Cork native Creedon, who previously managed Tipperary, was originally handed a one-year term but this proved something of a disaster.

Relegation to Division 4 of the Allianz Football League was followed by the false dawn

of an emphatic Leinster SFC opener against Longford before his team collapsed to Kildare (by 14 points) and then Clare at home (by 10 points) in the qualifiers.

“I have never yet left a team where they hadn’t improved and weren’t in a better position,” he said after their inglorious ‘back door’ exit.

“We have to rebuild fullstop and that is probably a bigger job than some people might think … I have never yet walked away from a challenge and I certainly won’t be starting now.”

This week’s board meeting

has been covered extensively in the local media and this is bound to ratchet up the pressure on Creedon.

One of the more colourful contributions came from Arles-Kilcruise delegate JJ Conway, who claimed: “Against Kildare, if we had never brought the team together for the seven months before the game, left them to their clubs and brought them together the week before, they would have done as well. There was no passion in our team this year.”

However, some delegates turned their ire on the players, with Crettyard’s John Burke

accusing a number of drinking in the “days before” a game. “Is it the manager’s fault that at least four of our senior football players congregate for drinking sessions?” he alleged. “You can’t drink pints of Guinness and talk sh*te in a pub, and then play football.”

Meanwhile, Kevin Ryan has called for a “root and branch review” of Offaly hurling and believes there is “too much negativity” within the county.

The Déise man, who has stepped down as Faithful boss after just one season, stressed that it wasn’t a case of him being forced out.

KILKENNY: CON HAS IT NAILED Dublinforwardlaudsattributesofteammate Conor McKeon

CIARÁN Kilkenny has praised the character of Dublin’s latest attacking prodigy, Con O’Callaghan after last his Man of the Match performance in last Sunday’s Leinster final victory over Kilkenny.

“He’s a great level-headed young man. He’s eager, he’s driven. And he’s willing to work really hard as well,” said Kilkenny, who lined out alongside O’Callaghan and Niall Scully in

a new-look Dublin half-forward line.

“That just shows that character of the young man. He doesn’t need much advice from me now.

He just has a great head about him.”

O’Callaghan, who has already won All-Irelands this year in football, at U21 level, and hurling, with his club, Cuala, hit 0-12 (6f ) from 13 shots at goal and immediately, went into 1/14 with bookies to win this year’s Young Footballer of the Year award.

“He knows what it’s about,” Kilkenny outlined.

“He’s similar enough in that he’s played so many hurling and football games for club, county, college that he has that experience.

“He knows how the game flows. And he’s adapted to it really well. He’s a very strong player.”

Jockey Ana O’Brien

O’Brienis airliftedin Killarney Niall Cronin

LEADING apprentice jockey Ana O’Brien was taken to hospital by air ambulance after a fall at Killarney last night.

O’Brien, the daughter of champion trainer Aidan O’Brien, was riding Druids Cross, trained by her brother, Joseph, in the second race on the card, the Celtic Steps The Show Rated Race, when her mount slipped up with just under two-furlongs left to race.

The 21-year-old was airlifted to Cork University Hospital by the Coast Guard Air Ambulance service and was said to be concious when leaving the Kerry track shortly before 8pm, with racing delayed by over an hour as O’Brien was looked after by the oncourse medical team.

Druids Cross was fatally injured in the incident but champion National Hunt jockey, Ruby Walsh, said later in the evening: “I think the news was a bit better when she was leaving, so hopefully that is right.

“She’ll be well looked after, fingers crossed for her.”
