Summary
The ban on e-scooters puts frontline Gardai “at risk” according to Garda Mark Ferris writing in today’s Irish Times. The report into alumina exports from the Aughinish plant in County Limerick won’t be published. Iran has instructed the Houthi rebels in Yemen, one of its proxy groups, to begin attacks on ships going into the Red Sea. School secretaries and caretakers in the Forsa union have been offered a settlement in their long running dispute over pensions. Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have developed a low-cost, 3D-printed battery they believe could help accelerate the transition to clean energy. Presented by Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast.
