PETS & ANIMALS Friday, February 21, 2025 10:43PM Animal control officer Lee Sohl in Kent, Connecticut, says local residents have reported sporadic sightings of the bull in the past week. KENT, CT — A Scottish Highland bull is the talk of the town in the rural hills of western Connecticut, where it has been roaming for over a month in the frigid winter weather after escaping from its confines.…
Cork beat Tipperary by 18 points in last year’s Munster SHC.
Allianz Football League Division Two, round four Louth v Down (Sunday, Drogheda, 2.30pm) FEW men are better placed to analyse Sunday’s crucial Division Two showdown in Drogheda than Cathal Murray. The Clonduff man was part of Down’s All-Ireland winning panel in 1994, has been at the heart of the county’s production line with St Colman’s College during recent decades, and was part of Eamonn Burns’s backroom team when Down last reached an Ulster final eight years ago. Louth, though, has become a home from home in footballing terms. He was involved during the two years of Wayne Kierans’ rein, prior…
Trump’s new Wild West cowboy regime is bringing horrors of the past back to haunt us
As Cork head for Inniskeen, it will trigger memories of an unhappy hunting ground of late, for Grattan Park is the site of their Championship swansong just last year. The Rebels will be quick to remind you it was a Louth team in question at the south Monaghan ground, and the gurus among them will point out that Cork have beaten Monaghan in every encounter since 2009. Having helped take down what were perennial All-Ireland contenders at the time, the national papers labelled Paul Finlay ‘majestic’ on that occasion in Scotstown. And the Ballybay man has thrown his weight behind…
Throughout my teens and even now in my early twenties, Bridget Jones has always been somewhat of a role model. Between her high-flying job in the media, her snazzy central London apartment and penchant for Chardonnay, cigarettes and power ballads, she was successful, funny but also flawed. Therefore, it’ll come as no surprise that I consider Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones’s Baby both literary and cinematic masterpieces. And I am relieved to report that the latest instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, is no exception – even if it has fewer of…
I stared out the window of Genghis’s van, wondering how I had ended up kidnapped. I had been in the house but 10 minutes ago. Then I had wellies shoved in my face and we were gone; to chop up two felled trees. As we passed the field where they lay, I wondered why we didn’t stop but the mystery was solved as we pulled into Genghis’s yard. “Take you the wee Massey up. Put the trailer on.” I was startled. “I don’t know how to do that.” “A bloody child could drive that thing. Keys are in her.” And…

Despite the biting easterly winds of late, spring continues to subtly stir. Bird song is increasing in volume, variety and pitch, welcoming the earlier morning light. Prime breeding territories are sought, while green shoots of celandine begin to carpet the places of their eventual flowering. Swelling buds too, defy winter’s waning grip, calling spring to step forward with hope and renewal. We must wait a little longer however, until the season is secure, when chiffchaffs call and hedgerows flourish. I watched A Complete Unknown at the cinema last week, the film charting Bob Dylan’s early development as folk singer, writer…
Finding a solution for frizzy hair can be a challenge and works for someone else may not work for your hair. There are serums, creams, sprays and gels that promise the world, but depending on your hair type you might need to trawl trough more than one beauty buy on your quest. Today’s top videos There is however, one buy that seems to work across lots of hair types from fine and light to thick and heavy. It has another version for curls, and then there is a third that you might not know about, and it’s tending at Sephora…
I fell out with John Hume fairly often. He was the local MP and I was the editor of the local paper. He thought everything he said should be the lead story. I tended to think that was my decision, not his. We had a massive row one time about the Haagerup Report. If anyone reading this can remember what that was, go to the top of the class. Assuming that the vast majority, including myself, have only a vague notion, let me fill you in. The Haagerup Report was commissioned by the European Parliament in 1984. Basically, it was…

The 78-year-old was coughing up blood when she attended University Hospital Galway – two days after she received her second dose of a coronavirus vaccine
Just as Ireland have the mental edge over Scotland, so the Scots have developed one over their auld enemy England and that’s what makes this latest championship instalment a must-watch
Team USA and Canada will meet once again in the 4 Nations Face-Off final Team USA and Canada will meet once again in the 4 Nations Face-Off final Getty Images Team USA and Canada will square off once again in the 4 Nations Face-Off final on Thursday, and if it’s even half as good as their last tilt, hockey fans are in for a treat.
