Commuters across Ireland are set to face increased fares on bus and train services, a move expected to impact thousands of daily travellers. This comes as the country also grapples with a unique local incident where seven skunks were captured and destroyed near Kildare bogland after being advertised for private sale.
Meanwhile, the education sector is under review, with an academic's assessment of the proposed new Leaving Cert Maths curriculum clarified as 'not an endorsement' of the draft. In healthcare, hospital consultants have criticised the minister's push for weekend work, labelling it 'clinical and economic insanity'.
Other significant domestic stories include the planning approval for a €356 million apartment scheme in Dublin 6 and the donation of a South Dublin hospital to the State for a new HSE facility. The country is also preparing for a visit from former US President Donald Trump, who is scheduled to meet President Catherine Connolly and Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
