Ikea restaurant to offer half-price meals on weekdays
Ikea's meatballs are almost as famous as its flatpack furniture – now the retail giant has moved to reduce the price of all meals in its restaurant for a limited time.
The Swedish retailer said visitors to the Ballymun store restaurant in Dublin will be able to get at least 50 per cent off meals on Mondays to Fridays from 11am until store closing.

The price reductions means the cost of the store's famous eight-piece meatball meal will drop to €3.25, down from its regular price of €6.50. Fish and chips will be €3.95 and a salmon fillet will also be sold for €3.95, Ikea said.
Kids' meals – all of which include a piece of fruit and a soft drink – include children's meatballs for €1.25 and children's pasta for 45c.
The popularity of Ikea food has led the firm to open standalone restaurants in some parts of Europe – the furniture company opened its first one in London late last year.

Irish-based Australian man released from Iraqi jail after four years
Robert Pether has been released on bail in Iraq. The Australian national remains there for the moment as he is under a travel ban and cannot return home, it is understood. Advertisement He lived with his wife and three children in Co Roscommon before travelling to Iraq, where he was arrested and jailed on fraud charges in 2021. The Tánaiste was informed of his release during a call with Foreign Minister Hussein of Iraq on Thursday evening. "I am very pleased to have been informed of the release of Robert Pether, whose imprisonment in Iraq has been a cause of huge, huge concern. This is welcome news, it's been a very long-running, and extraordinary distressing, time for Robert's wife, for his three children, for his wider circle of family and friends in Roscommon," Simon Harris said on Newstalk. Mr Harris welcomed it as a first step to his being allowed to return to his wife and three children in Roscommon. Advertisement "I spoke with Robert's wife, Desree, about this positive development, and I really want to thank our diplomatic officials, people in our embassy network in the region, for their tireless work. I know significant concerns remain about Robert's health, about the outstanding charges, and I'm going to keep working on this until we get a fully positive resolution and Robert back home with his family," the Tánaiste said. The Irish Times reported that Mr Pether worked as an engineer and was helping to design the central bank in Baghdad, and was set to work on three hospitals. However, there was a contract dispute between his employer and the Central Bank of Iraq, which led to him and his Egyptian work colleague Khalid Radwan being imprisoned. The pair were sentenced to five years and fined $12 million by an Iraqi court.

Takeaway culture is out of control – when did we become so entitled and lazy?
I consider myself to be a law-abiding citizen. But sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe in, maybe even take up arms and defend yourself and those you love against an existential threat. The news that Deliveroo has launched its first drone delivery service in Dublin, so we can eventually all get even fatter and poorer without leaving the house, is just such a moment in time. Which is why I'm in the market for a high-energy laser weapon. Nothing fancy – just enough firepower to take out the takeout, shoot down the poke bowl and incinerate those horrid, claggy barbecue chicken wings. The truth is, I loathe takeaway culture to begin with. The idea that food, groceries and bottles of wine are being flown over my home, over my head, makes me apoplectic. Did anyone ask permission for my airspace to be co-opted for the safe passage of a lukewarm McDonald's to Number 24? No they did not. And who will be in charge of directing the drone traffic? One midair crash and those nachos and guacamole will take someone's eye out. Deliveroo, like its rivals Uber Eats and Just Eat, began as a delivery service for hot food. You ordered online and within half an hour or so, a miserable-looking driver or cyclist would pitch up with dinner. It felt quite glamorous to start with, a cheeky Friday night treat in a thrilling brown paper carrier. Now, it's become a national obsession; I know of households where they order takeaways most nights. Figures from Deliveroo show that in my London borough, Hackney, the most-ordered grocery item is Co-op Sea Salt Crisps, whereas in Kensington and Chelsea it's kimchi from Whole Foods. In Tower Hamlets the Sainsbury's lunchtime meal deal reigns supreme. How did we reach the point in civilisation where people are too entitled and lazy to get up off the sofa and fetch their own sodding crisps? Who suffers from a late night kimchi emergency? And what sort of nutter is willing to spend a small fortune ordering coffee and a pricey Danish every morning when they could, oh I don't know; buy a jar of coffee and a pack of croissants in the supermarket? I've got a kettle, baked goods and a cupboard devoted to spices, including a grinder. But what happens when my daughters feel peckish? They order in. Secretly. Why? Because it is an insult to my cooking, unhealthy and expensive and I will absolutely lose it if I find out. The elder one has a job so I can't really stop her. When I refuse to give the younger one cash… her boyfriend orders it and sends it round to the house. Multiply that by every Gen Zer on my residential road and I can foresee squadrons of irritating drones buzzing about all hours of the day and night. Which is why I need to take action. The only issue is that I don't know how to lay my hands on a high-energy laser weapon. Don't judge me, but I wonder if Deliveroo does them...
