🥊 Boxing

Irish boxing legend Katie Taylor brought her illustrious 30-year career to a close with a dominant victory at Croke Park, describing the event as the highlight of her entire career. Her retirement as a three-time undisputed champion marks a significant moment in Irish sport. The nation is grappling with news of two separate fatal road incidents. A two-year-old boy died after being struck by a jeep in County Limerick, while a 16-year-old boy was killed in an e-bike hit-and-run incident in County Clare. In political news, Darragh O'Brien, the Minister for Transport and Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment, indicated that a potential delay to a carbon tax increase is 'on the table' for the upcoming Budget. This comes as the government, a coalition of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and independent TDs, prepares its financial plans. Catherine Connolly currently serves as the President of Ireland, while Micheál Martin is the Taoiseach. The main opposition is led by Sinn Féin.
