Kitty Holland looks at the scarcity of emergency places at Tusla, as the High Court is told eleven special care beds for at-risk children remain empty.

Ben Tonra, professor of international relations at University College Dublin, a director and secretary of the Irish Defence and Security Association, writes in the Irish Times that current antagonisms aren't just about Greenland: "Beyond personal grievance and vanity, the US president’s hostility towards Europe has long been manifest."

Have a lovely day.
