Shoppers rave about 'very quiet' bladeless fan perfect for the warm days
Now might be a good time to prep for the hotter days by snagging a fan before things get too sticky. Amazon's on it with the 4.6-star-rated Pro Breeze® Silent Bladeless Portable Tower Fan up for grabs at €162.51.
The fan's portability means you can lug it from room to room, chasing down those particularly hot spots. It's a game-changer for the bedroom when the heat messes with your snooze, plus customers say it's hushed enough not to drown out your telly.
With six speed options, you can crank it up as the temperature does, reports the Express.
A content customer shared their thoughts on the Pro Breeze fan, saying: "This is the second one I have purchased. I liked the grey one I bought for my living room so much, I bought this white one for my bedroom. On the low speed, which is very good, you can hear very little noise. (I have great hearing.) And it did not affect the volume of my TV which is not up very loud to begin with."
A satisfied customer shared: "I love this fan so much, I purchased a second one for my bedroom. I got the first one last summer for the living room, and I was really impressed, in the past I have used the fans that have a blade which were ok but not very good at keeping me cool, when the third one stopped working I looked into these types of fans, I researched all of them on Amazon and read reviews and decided on this one and can honestly say I am over the moon with it."
Yet, another customer noted a drawback regarding the noise level: "As a fan this is great, easily as cooling as a Dyson or bigger more expensive brand, even on low settings you can feel it. The instructions are easy to follow, the remote is easy to use. It's a little chunky not massively but there's definitely more streamlined versions out there. It's not deafeningly loud but you can hear it as it's not silent either, I do think it's a great fan for the money though, I would definitely buy again."
One person highlighted a gripe with the remote: "Remote is a bit rubbish as has to be in a specific position to get signal across, which is particularly difficult while the fan oscillates, other than that the fan is top notch."
Yet another shopper expressed contentment, saying: "An excellent unit, it was very quiet in the bedroom whilst delivering a very good breeze."

Twenty-one farms to open their gates for free one-day sustainable farming showcase
Nature-friendly farms across the country plan to open their gates as part of a sustainable farming showcase. On August 31, a total of 21 farms across Ireland will be open to the public for a one-day event organised by Farming For Nature, a non-profit initiative that works with farmers to promote sustainable agricultural practices. Farming For Nature was set up in 2018 as a non-profit project established under the Burrenbeo Trust. Last year, the group launched the Farming For Nature Handbook, a practical guide to protecting and restoring nature. The handbook featured contributions from more than 50 Irish farmers, who shared their experiences of how working with nature can help reduce their overheads and boost incomes. The 'Inside The Gate' event is designed to boost public understanding of the importance of nature-friendly farming, including practices that support healthy soils, clean water, diverse habitats and sustainable food production. The 21 farms spread across Tipperary, Wexford, Mayo, Roscommon, Clare, Cork, Kildare, Kilkenny, Galway, Kerry, Laois, and Limerick will take part in Inside The Gate, showcasing their land and the progressive measures they have introduced to enhance biodiversity, reduce waste, and stem their greenhouse gas emissions. Mimi Crawford and Owen Crawford from Crawfords Farm in Tipperary which is opening its gates to the public as part of the nationwide Inside The Gate event on August 31. Tickets and more information on each location are available on a first-come, first-served basis on the Farming For Nature website. Events are free to attend, but capacity at the individual farms will be limited. Inside the Gate is supported by RTÉ Ear to the Ground presenter Ella McSweeney, who is encouraging as many people as possible to sign up for a visit on August 31, adding that the day is a 'really valuable opportunity for young and old, from all backgrounds across Ireland, to spend time on some of the most nature-rich farms in the country.' Co-founder of Farming For Nature, Brigid Barry, said: 'Hosted on 21 farms in 12 counties across Ireland, the 26 different events will give our participating farmers the opportunity to showcase the importance of farms which produce food with nature in mind.' 'In the past, many people in Ireland would have grown up with access to a farm through their extended family. "With the dwindling number of small-hold farms and farmers, that's not really the case anymore, so this is an opportunity to give urban and indeed rural people access to not just a working farm, but one that approaches food production in a sustainable and nature-friendly way.' Bruce Thompson of Camcloon Dairy Farm in Laois, which is opening its gates to the public as part of the event. RTÉ presenter and Inside The Gate patron, Ella McSweeney, said: 'Like so many people in Ireland, I grew up in an urban area with no direct connection to farming. "Over the years, through my work, I've been lucky enough to visit farms all across the country, and it's given me a huge understanding of how food is produced and how farmers can drive positive change on their land, to the benefit of all of us. 'The fact is that for most Irish people, unless you know a farmer personally, it's not at all easy to get onto a working farm. So I'm really thrilled that Farming for Nature farmers will be throwing their gates open to the public on 31st August. "It's an unmissable opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to spend time on a farm, meet the farmers and see up close how they produce food while looking after nature. Farming for Nature farmers have created some of the most nature-rich farms in the country.'

Warning issued over use of inflatable toys at sea
Water Safety Ireland has launched a fresh appeal warning members of the public to leave inflatable toys at home when visiting the coast. It comes after a teenager was airlifted to safety on Saturday by the Coast Guard after reports were received of a child adrift on an inflatable around 200 metres offshore from Newcastle in Co Wicklow. Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Divisional Controller of the Marine Rescue Coordination Centre in Dublin Ivan Longmore said that incidents like these were becoming a frequent occurrence. "We probably get steady reports of these incidents, particularly when there's a settled spell of weather," he said. "I wouldn't say it's increased dramatically, but it's certainly an incident that we do get frequent callers for," he added. Mr Longmore recommended that people do not bring inflatables to the sea or other coastal areas. "Don't do it, particularly if there's offshore winds and they can develop at any time, and particularly where there's tidal currents, which there is on all Irish waters," he said. Water Safety Ireland also reported that 51 people have died in Irish waters to date this year. CEO of Water Safety Ireland Joanne Walsh said that lives lost at sea so far this year were the highest they had been in recent times. "To put that into context, at a similar time in 2024, 47 lives were lost. In 2023, 50 lives were lost," she said. "We're highlighting this, speaking to children, to adults, to teenagers. So far this year, in an eight-week period, we lost seven children," she added. Ms Walsh encouraged young people who may take to the water during the spell of good weather to be responsible and to watch out for one another. "Please try and swim at a lifeguarded waterway. If you're at a lifeguarded waterway, look for the yellow and red flags. That's the area known to be safe. That's where the lifeguard has risk-assessed," she said. "If it says don't swim or dangerous swimming, please heed it. Please be responsible. Please look out for each other," she added.

What do you call your mother?
MUM'S THE WORD…though that may not be the case in everyone's book. You might not think twice about what you call your mother, but broadcaster Sarah McInerney told RTÉ Radio 1′s Louise Duffy Show that she received a message from a listener asking her not to use the word 'mum' – insisting that 'mammy' or 'mam' is the correct Irish term. Advertisement The listener added that the term 'mum' is an example of 'anglicisation,' which McInerney and programme host Ciara King disagreed with. So, we want to ask: What do you call your mother?
