A Limerick rape trial has sparked controversy over alleged victim-blaming, including the display of the victim's dress. Separately, allegations have emerged against public-only consultants at St Vincent's Hospital for reportedly claiming payment for laboratory work performed for private patients.
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has remained silent on issues surrounding FIFA President Gianni Infantino, a stance taken as both the English and Welsh Football Associations withdraw their support. In local politics, Limerick Mayor John Moran has accused councillors of misusing legislation.
Environmental concerns are also prominent, with new data showing data centres consumed nearly a billion litres of water last year, alongside ongoing worries about coastline erosion in Wexford and a high overlap of wildfires with protected nature sites.
