Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley claims FAI disciplinary system ‘not fit for purpose’ irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/…
Cliff Taylor: Ireland as one of Europe’s safe havens for investors? Something of a milestone was hit this week when the cost to the State for raising short-term borrowings dipped below that of Germany, traditionally the euro zone’s benchmark.

Seán Moncrieff: Herself and Daughter Number Four went away for a couple of nights, leaving me in charge of the house. I was given a short but specific set of instructions:
1. Be nice to the dog
2. Fix the table.

I am hanging in the air, trying and failing to hoosh myself up onto the platform. Meanwhile the instructor, who has been joined by another young instructor, tries to (a) push me up to safety and (b) not laugh. Both tasks prove impossible.”
