THE NUMBER of people engaging in some form of personal exercise has increased sharply since 2009, at least partly because many people have more time as a result of the recession.

The Irish Sports Council, which published the figures yesterday, believes the rise in unemployment and reduced working hours for many people have overcome what was previously the biggest barrier to increased exercise – the lack of free time.

San Diego Comic Con has started and the pictures are already flowing from the convention floor. There’s an array of suits from Iron Man 3 (presumably the same ones that appeared in the first promo shots) as well as trolls from the upcoming Hobbit film.
