Seán Gallagher says he will ‘reflect' on claims of attack on presidential hopeful Gareth Sheridan
FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Seán Gallagher said he will 'reflect' on comments made by businessman Gareth Sheridan, who claimed he has been the victim of a 'coordinated attack' on his character. Sheridan, who launched his official bid for the presidency last week, claimed that the 'attack' was carried out by people associated and in Gallagher's 'circle.' Sheridan made the claims about his former business partner at his campaign launch in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin last week, musing at the outset of his press conference that: 'Perhaps somebody is taking our breakup a little bit worse than me'. Gallagher left Sheridan's multimillion-euro pharmaceutical company, Nutriband, after serving as chairman from 2017 until 2021 after the company decided to replace him. Sheridan, the 35-year-old who is hoping to run as an independent candidate if he can get the backing from the four local authorities required, was quick to state last week: 'I'm not saying for a moment that Seán is behind this or is involved in any way. Advertisement 'For a couple of days now, we've been receiving essentially copy and paste question lists with minimal time to respond from various different outlets with the exact same questions. Something just seems a little off.' The Journal / YouTube Sheridan used his press conference last week to shed some light on the breakdown in the pair's relationship, stating that ahead of Nutriband being listed publicly on the stock exchange in 2021, it had received advice that it would be better to have a chairperson with capital markets experience. 'We proposed this to Seán. We asked him to voluntarily step aside on the same remuneration,' Sheridan said. The Journal / YouTube Gallagher responds Speaking this morning, Gallagher said the comments do not require a reaction, but a response. 'I was away for the last couple of weeks. Firstly, down in Clare and on the Aran islands with my wife and kids, and then last week abroad in the sunshine,' he told the Joe Finnegan Show on Northern Sound radio. 'I made a bad mistake of heading away when the sunshine was arriving in Ireland. So, truthfully, I was more concerned about keeping my bald head protected from the sun than I was about watching what was happening in the election. Related Reads What's the beef between this previous and current presidential hopeful? 'But it has been drawn to my attention for sure. So, rather than react to the comments – I think it doesn't require a reaction – more a response. 'I will reflect on what was said and I am gathering that at the moment, and then I'll decide on what to respond. But that is, as we all know, part of the electioneering that goes on.' Gallagher, who previously contested the presidential election in 2011 and again in 2018, has ruled himself out of the upcoming election. He said: 'You can rest assured, my name will not be going forward. I am not running. 'I'm very focused on business and a lot of the other activities I'm involved in, and so I'm very committed in that space. 'I think it is great that there are more people coming forward, and I think there are more to come.'

I moved flats & my passive aggressive neighbour's response to my parking is out of hand – people say she's ‘entitled'
People had a few different theories regarding the notes TAKE NOTE I moved flats & my passive aggressive neighbour's response to my parking is out of hand – people say she's 'entitled' A WAR between two neighbours kicked off after one left a series of passive aggressive notes on the other's car. The driver, who recently moved into the new flat, was left scratching her head when she discovered the Post-it notes on her vehicle. 2 The notes left the driver scratching her head Credit: Reddit 2 It turned out it was the pesky neighbour who was in the wrong Credit: Getty Advertisement The first of the series of notes boldly said: "RESPECT YOUR NEIGHBOUR. Stop parking in their paid, assigned spot. It's just rude!" But the driver decided not to move her car, since she was sure she was in fact in the correct space. That's when the mystery neighbour began leaving more notes. "I've tried to be kind but you ignored my note," the second said. Advertisement "You could've been towed a week ago. PLEASE let me park in the spot I've had for years. THX [sic]." And the neighbour continued their tirade with the next note, which read: "NOT YOUR SPOT PLEASE STOP taking it! THANK YOU." "I PAY FOR THIS SPOT and would like to use it. Please and thank you," they added in a fourth. After sharing the notes on Reddit, the driver decided to check with the real estate office to see if they were in the wrong or not. Advertisement But they confirmed she was parking in the right space, which was allocated to her flat. They explained: "I took their notes off and placed a note on my own windshield saying something to the effect of 'I checked with the office and this is my spot. You should check with them too.'" Major New Driving Laws for Summer & Fall 2025: What You Need to Know After leaving the note they noticed it had vanished from their neighbour's car, and no new notes appeared. At this point, fellow Reddit users were left baffled as to why the neighbour thought the spot was theirs. The consensus was that the neighbour must've been parking in the wrong space for years and either didn't realise or forgot about it. Advertisement "If I was wrong and did this, I would be so embarrassed and offer up an apology and probably a gift," one person commented on the viral post. "The irony of being mad someone took the spot that you've actually been the one stealing," a second added. But not everyone was convinced it was such an honest mistake - even if the notes were slightly passive aggressive. Some thought the neighbour knew the space wasn't theirs, but since they'd been in it so long they didn't want to leave. "They just feel entitled to this spot even though it isn't assigned to them," one said. Advertisement "Seems like someone just parked there for free since the complex hadn't sold it. "Now they're sad to see it go and were hoping that you were parking there for free, too," another mused.

YouTube and Apple among those still 'turning a blind eye' to child abuse material, eSafety commissioner finds
In a report released on Wednesday, the eSafety Commissioner said YouTube, along with Apple, failed to track the number of user reports it received of child sex abuse appearing on their platforms and also could not say how long it took them to respond to such reports. The Australian government decided last week to include YouTube in its world-first social media ban for teenagers, following eSafety's advice to overturn its planned exemption for the Alphabet-owned Google's video-sharing site. 'When left to their own devices, these companies aren't prioritising the protection of children and are seemingly turning a blind eye to crimes occurring on their services,' eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said in a statement. 'No other consumer-facing industry would be given the licence to operate by enabling such heinous crimes against children on their premises, or services.' A Google spokesperson said 'eSafety's comments are rooted in reporting metrics, not online safety performance', adding that YouTube's systems proactively removed over 99pc of all abuse content before being flagged or viewed. 'Our focus remains on outcomes and detecting and removing (child sexual exploitation and abuse) on YouTube,' the spokesperson said in a statement. Meta - owner of Facebook, Instagram and Threads, three of the biggest platforms with more than three billion users worldwide - has said it prohibits graphic videos. The eSafety Commissioner, an office set up to protect internet users, has mandated Apple, Discord, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Skype, Snap and WhatsApp to report on the measures they take to address child exploitation and abuse material in Australia. The report on their responses so far found a 'range of safety deficiencies on their services which increases the risk that child sexual exploitation and abuse material and activity appear on the services'. Safety gaps included failures to detect and prevent livestreaming of the material or block links to known child abuse material, as well as inadequate reporting mechanisms. It said platforms were also not using 'hash-matching' technology on all parts of their services to identify images of child sexual abuse by checking them against a database. Google has said before that its anti-abuse measures include hash-matching technology and artificial intelligence. The Australian regulator said some providers had not made improvements to address these safety gaps on their services despite it putting them on notice in previous years. 'In the case of Apple services and Google's YouTube, they didn't even answer our questions about how many user reports they received about child sexual abuse on their services or details of how many trust and safety personnel Apple and Google have on-staff,' Inman Grant said.
