Yesterday's FT claimed UK union leaders were "at war" over Unite general secretary Len McCluskey's Brexit antics. There's a paywall on the Pink Paper, but this letter to the Guardian - signed by 50 of Len's hard-pressed members - gives a flavour of the row.

Meanwhile on centre stage, Mrs May got short shrift in Brussels ahead of tonight's dinner in Dublin, while Comrade Corbyn nailed his colours tighter to the sinking ship's mast. Waterford Whispers has this.

The controversy over the cost of the children's hospital rumbles on and the nurses' strike still dominates IR coverage (it seems the Labour Court is having another look). Meanwhile our brewing row over CE supervisors' pensions is steadily gaining traction in the local media. Here's a sample from Donegal.

Also, there's good news from Wicklow where the doughty Ryan McKinney delivered the goods yesterday. That's a patch once tended by the legend known as Stephen O'Neill, who officially retired from the union yesterday. 

And be sure to check out our friend Niall Shanahan, who'll be reviewing the week's news on Today FM's The Last Word with Matt Cooper at around 4.30 this afternoon.

Finally, let's raise a Zen-filled glass to a man of class: the late Jack Lemmon, whose birthday falls this windy day. Here he is in The Odd Couple.

Ciao.
