At the National Athletics Awards in Dublin this afternoon

Wicklow runner Róisín McGettigan presented with a bronze medal for the 1500-metres (at the 2009 European Indoor Championships where she came fourth) as the winner Anna Alminova was doped.

G’wan the clean Irish.

Sitting there in your aqua-jet 9000?

Enjoying your usual meal of steak, waffles, french fries and expensive Scotch?

But do you really understand steak?

Time perhaps for a Steak Exploration?

Guests will join master butchers/ breeders from Gilligan Meats for a discussion on breeding, rearing and selection, this coupled with a talk from The Drury Buildings [55, Drury Street, Dublin 2] chef on cooking means all beef bases are covered from farm to fork. There will of course be plenty of steak to try too. Tickets include cocktail, starter, meat courses, dessert, wine as well as our expert talks and are priced at €65. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Movember.

The Bray woman secured the gold with a victory over Azerbaijan’s Yana Allekseevana [left] in the 60kg final early this morning. The judges scored the fight 40-36, 39-37, 39-37 in Taylor’s favour. The 2012 Olympic champion is now level with Indian great Mary Kom on five world crowns.

For the day that’s in it.

RTÉ’s promo ahead of Ireand versus Australia, the final game of the popular and often overpriced black stout series at Lansdowne Road Nua.

The rarest of creatures.

Tom McGurk’s inner monologue is unleashed:

Michael Cheika meets Joe Schmidt. It’s rugby’s rumble in the jungle, it’s fire against ice, it’s Cavaliers versus the Roundheads. Who will be Socrates and who will be Plato?

Needs more Honey Badger in fairness.

Nobody wants a Raleigh anymore.

They want your Giant Defying Treks.

Bike theft is a big and growing problem in Dublin. While only 4,500 bikes were reported stolen in Dublin in 2013 we know there is a big under-reporting problem and we estimate that the real figure was around 20,000. The information you will provide in this survey [link below] will be invaluable in helping us design a plan, in conjunction with the Gardai, City Council, City Planners& Bike trade, to tackle the problem
