Drogheda United's expulsion from Conference League confirmed as court appeal fails
Drogheda United have lost their appeal against their expulsion from the Uefa Conference League to the Court for Arbitration for Sport. Drogheda have been excluded from Tuesday's Uefa Conference League first round qualifier draw, ahead of the opening fixtures in July, because The Trivela Group, a US investment firm, owns a majority stake in the Louth club and Danish side Silkeborg IF. Under Uefa laws 'no individual or legal entity' can control two teams competing in the same European competition. Silkeborg secured their place over Kevin Doherty's side as they finished higher in the Danish league last season than Drogheda's ninth-placed finish in the League of Ireland. READ MORE 'It is with great heartbreak and disbelief that we inform you we have lost our appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport,' the club said in a statement. 'After months of engagement, constructive dialogue, countless hours of legal preparation, and multiple proposals based on frameworks that have been accepted in the past, we have come up short. Despite genuine and vocal support across the football world, the ruling did not fall in our favour. We are heartbroken by the outcome.' As a result, Drogheda are set to lose out on a minimum €525,000 in Uefa prize money, despite qualifying for the Conference League by beating Derry City in the FAI Cup final last November. Neither Derry nor any other Irish club can replace Drogheda, and join Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick's Athletic in Tuesday's draw as they missed the deadline for a Uefa licence.

State to sell remaining shares in AIB
Minster for Finance Paschal Donohoe moved on Monday to sell taxpayers' remaining stake of about 3.3 per cent in AIB. The sale, being carried out by way of a placing among institutional investors, known as an accelerated bookbuild (ABB), is expected to raise about €480 million. That takes into consideration an expectation that the shares will be sold at a slight discount to Monday's closing price of €7.01 in Dublin. The move takes advantage of how AIB's shares have risen more than 31 per cent this year, having recovered from a sell-off across equities globally in April as investors fretted about US President Donald Trump's tariff policies. READ MORE 'This is an important milestone in delivering on the government's policy of returning the banking sector to private ownership,' said Mr Donohoe. More to follow

Child benefit initiative under review in advance of budget to lift children out of poverty
A new tier of child benefit designed to lift tens of thousands of children out of poverty is to be considered in advance of Budget 2026 . Taoiseach Micheál Martin said 'nothing was off the table' in terms of using social welfare payments to reduce the number of children in Ireland in consistent poverty. Mr Martin used his speech at the national economic dialogue in Dublin Castle today to set out his stall in advance of this year's budget. He flagged child poverty as a Government priority and said he told his Cabinet to come up with ideas that will 'make the difference to the most vulnerable families and children'. An annual report from the Children's Rights Alliance published last week, showed that the number of children in consistent poverty in Ireland had increased by more than 45,000 in one year, bringing the total to over 100,000. Children are the most likely group in society to experience poverty. READ MORE Mr Martin said despite previous Government investments, the most recent figures show an unwelcome increase in persistent child poverty. 'We need to make sure that this increase turns out to be a temporary spike out of line with the overall trend,' he said. 'Therefore, for Budget 2026, I've asked my ministerial colleagues to plan and to come forward with measures that will really make the difference to the most vulnerable families and children and to target resources appropriately.' Last week, a report by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) said that introducing a new 'second-tier' child benefit payment of €285 a month would lift 55,000 children out of poverty. Asked about including such a proposal in the upcoming budget, Mr Martin said the Government will be 'examining all aspects of that.' 'Nothing is off the table,' he said. 'There's a wide menu there that we can choose from to target resources to meaningfully impact on child poverty. That's not just in terms of income supports but also in terms of other initiatives in education.' According to the ESRI, the effective top-up of the existing €140 a month child benefit scheme would cost the State about €800 million a year. Mr Martin also flagged that the budget will include a new Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools (Deis) Plus education scheme, which would give enhanced resources to schools most acutely affected by disadvantage. 'Critically, it will work towards a more flexible system of supports so that a school can receive the right support at the right time to assist children and young people most in need,' Mr Martin said.
