This inexplicable decision should be immediately reviewed by Minister O’Callaghan. Children travelling from Palestine to participate in GAA activities on short term visas deserve more than bureaucratic refusals as do those clubs that awaited their arrival.

The announcement by government that they’re adding €1,000 in college fees just confirms how out-of-touch they are. It has caused huge anger & must be reversed. Families are struggling with high costs of food, fuel & electricity. They need a break - not a kick in the teeth!.

Horrific and disturbing to see a member of An Garda Síochána commit such crimes. My thoughts are with the victims and with members of An Garda Síochána who will be appalled at what this man subjected a Garda colleague and her family to.

A garda who impersonated a female colleague online and encouraged strangers to come to her house to rape her and her young daughters, will be sentenced next month.

Large number of Garda retirements raises further concerns about garda numbers and the lack of gardaí available to police our cities, towns and rural communities.

One dismissal, 11 resignations and 26 - yes, 26 - retirements in the latest Garda bulletin. That’s the largest amount of retirements I’ve heard of in any bulletin in recent years, which is usually fortnightly.
