A 73-year-old retired nurse, once active and independent, now faces daily challenges after a Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis—confined to her home, wheelchair-bound, and reliant on carers. Since her June 2025 diagnosis, she’s had to overhaul her life, sleeping downstairs and battling inaccessible living spaces. With children visiting but no permanent solutions, she’s launched a GoFundMe to raise funds for essential home modifications, private care, and transport—already spending €2,500 on temporary fixes. This is her fight to reclaim dignity and independence, one step at a time.

Galway Airport’s future is heating up as six groups vie for the 114-hectare site, once a functioning airport until 2011 and now a repurposed space used for everything from COVID testing to concerts. With the current leaseholder’s contract expiring in December 2026, local politicians are already squabbling over how any sale proceeds should be split—with Councillor David Collins demanding a 50-50 split between city and county councils. A state-backed report on the bids is in the works, set to be reviewed by chief executives before councillors, leaving everyone waiting to see if the site will become an entertainment hub, a commercial airport, or something else entirely.

Sky and FACT are hitting back hard on illegal streaming—sending cease-and-desist letters to ten suspects across Ireland, including Dublin, Cork, and Galway, who are selling unauthorized IPTV “dodgy boxes.” These aren’t warnings—they’re legal demands to shut down operations immediately. FACT’s Investigation Manager Nick Sumner made it clear: resellers of illegal streaming subscriptions are being actively targeted. This crackdown signals that unauthorized streaming won’t be tolerated.
