Dublin restaurant awarded best pizza in Ireland for third year running
Little Pyg, based in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre in Dublin, has been crowned Ireland's top pizza for the third year in a row at the Top 50 Pizza Europe Awards in Madrid. The awards, held on Wednesday, June 4th, also ranked Little Pyg as the 16th best pizza in Europe, meaning it qualifies for the World Pizza Championship in Naples in September. Advertisement The awards are widely considered the gold standard in European pizza excellence, and are curated by Italian food critics Barbara Guerra, Luciano Pignataro and Albert Sapere. Over 2,000 anonymous inspectors assess restaurants across the continent to pick the winners. The Top 50 Pizza Awards were launched in Italy in 2017 and have grown every year since. Each year, the organisation's team of inspectors visit thousands of venues anonymously, assessing everything from dough quality and ingredient sourcing to service, innovation and overall experience. Advertisement The final rankings are then revealed at a live awards ceremony, bringing together all those who qualified. Little Pyg is the only Irish restaurant to earn a place on the list three years in a row. Speaking from Madrid, owner Paul McGlade Jnr said that he is very proud of Federico Rapali, Little Pyg's head chef, who McGlade says is 'regarded as one of the best pizzaiolos in the world,' and of the entire team at Little Pyg. 'This recognition means everything. It is a reflection of relentless passion, long hours and the belief that great pizza can bring people together. What started as a dream has grown into something far greater than I ever imagined. Here's to tradition, innovation, and never settling for anything less than excellence,' Rapali said.

Married Irish woman 'sexually assaults man at Magaluf spa hotel' where she was staying with her husband
A married Irish woman has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a man at the spa of a Magaluf hotel where she is understood to have been staying with her husband. The 37-year-old was hauled to court after being accused of touching her alleged victim's genitals without his consent. She was taken into the court building in the Majorcan capital Palma by an armed police officer. Cops are expected to reveal more detail about yesterday's arrest in the coming hours. The Irish tourist, who was released on bail by an investigating judge still probing the alleged crime, has not been named. The alleged sex assault happened around 6pm on Tuesday. The hotel has not been identified. Well-placed sources said the Swedish man was already in the hotel sauna when the female holidaymaker came in and sat near him and struck up a conversation with him after asking him how long he had been in Magaluf. She left the sauna and took a dip in a swimming pool beside it before following the man into a Turkish steam bath where the alleged sex assault took place according to a police report sent to the investigating court. The male holidaymaker is understood to have alerted hotel staff who called the police after telling the Irish woman to stop as she 'sexually molested' him without warning. Although she denied any inappropriate behaviour when cops reached the hotel and quizzed her on the spot, she told the judge she regretted her actions and wrongly thought the man was interested in her in court hours later. Her alleged court confession has not yet been confirmed by police or court officials.

‘Such a shame' as promising jockey forced to retire aged 23 on ‘medical advice'
PROMISING jockey Gearoid Harney has been forced to retire from racing aged just 23 on 'medical advice'. The conditional rider 'kept getting concussed' when he fell and suffered a heavy crash at Fakenham in January. 1 Harney was rushed to hospital for urgent care and racing was abandoned soon after his slip from David Pipe's Micronormous. Unfortunately, while he made a recovery from that incident, doctors had advised him to stop racing altogether. A post from Pipe said on X: "Wishing conditional jockey Gearoid Harney @Gearoid84997068 the very best for the future as he unfortunately will not be returning to the saddle following his fall in January on medical advice. "He rode ten winners for me, the highlight being Kingston Queen's Listed Bumper success." Pipe added: "The scans showed there was still some damage there and it wasn't right for him to get his licence back. The decision was in their hands. "He kept getting concussed when he fell and the IJF have been very supportive, so he'll have to have a think about what he'll do in the future." Punters were quick to offer Harney their support, with some saying it was a great 'shame' he had been forced out. A post from Irish Racing referenced the tragic death of Michael O'Sullivan in a race earlier this year as a reminder of the dangers jockeys face every day. The message read: "We wish Irish jockey Gearoid Harney all the best as he is forced to retire due to a severe head injury from a fall at Fakenham in January. "In a challenging year for our sport, marked by the tragic passing of Michael O'Sullivan, this incident further highlights the risks jockeys face." .
