## Resource

The Sam Maguire arrived in Castlebar last night to roars of “Up Mayo!” , as tens of thousands of people turned out at MacHale Park for the Mayo team’s official homecoming. A couple, with a good income on paper and who are in receipt of the Government’s Help-to-Buy grant still can’t afford a three-bed semi in large parts of the country, according to a new report by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland. Aughinish Alumina will, under a new oversight arrangement , be expected to provide the Government with regular evidence its products are not supplying the Russian military. A reader contacted The Irish Times over VHI’s refusal to cover one of the two nights she spent in The Blackrock Clinic after a fall in her home. The health insurer claimed the second night wasn’t medically justified. Are you looking for a last-minute staycation ? With some homes charging €4,000 a week, don’t expect a bargain.
