Former international rugby stars were out in force to help Jamie Heaslip launch his new book All In, written with Matt Cooper and perform a retina-scorching wedgie on the ex-Number 8.

This morning’s Irish Times Ipsos MRBY poill surveyed after last week’s Cheshire Brexit meeting

…Just as some kind of honeymoon period for the Fine Gael leader was to be expected, so too was the inevitable return to earth. The first two phases have now played out. The less predictable question is: what comes next?
Voters are impressed with his management of Brexit, where 60 per cent are satisfied with the Government’s performance, with just over a quarter (26 per cent) expressing dissatisfaction.

Ryanair tweetz:
Mara the turtle was blown by Storm Lorenzo all the way from the Canary Islands to Galway, Ireland earlier this month.
Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium has been nursing Mara back to health and asked if we could help.
We’re delighted to say she’ll be returning home on board with us very soon.
Mara will be a very special passenger on our Cork to Gran Canaria flight on November 4th along with two members of the Oceanworld team – ensuring she’s returned to the warm waters she needs to survive.
In fairness.
