Wexford man seriously injured after seven-storey fall from building in Lithuania
A Co Wexford man has been seriously injured after he fell seven storeys from a building in Lithuania.
David 'Daithí' Manley from the village of Oulart has suffered multiple injuries including a spinal injury which has left him paralysed from the chest down as a result of the fall which occurred at 11am local time last Monday.

Mr Manley is currently in intensive care in a Lithuanian hospital after surviving the fall in which he sustained other serious injuries, including multiple fractures according to his sister Aoife.
Ms Manley explained that his condition is 'not very good'. She continued: 'He (David) has a severed spinal cord, and has no movement (or) feeling from just below his chest line. That will not be coming back or improving.'
She has described how her brother's breathing and lungs are not 'very good' and doctors are concerned he could develop pneumonia.
'(Medical staff) are worried about his heart but have it under control at the minute. All (of the) bones that are fractured and broken will repair.'

But on a more positive note, Ms Manley added that her brother's 'mind is good (and) there's been no brain damage. He is chatting when he has energy and rest assured he is still managing to make some funny jokes.'
Mr Manley is to undergo spinal surgery once his condition stabilises and doctors hope that he will be able to return to a hospital in Ireland in the coming weeks when his condition improves.
A GoFundMe campaign, Help Get Daithí Home, has already raised almost €40,000. The funds will help cover medical bills, travel, and necessary adaptations to the family home in Wexford.
The Vine Thai Restaurant in Wexford town, where Mr Manley previously worked said they 'are absolutely shocked and heartbroken' for their 'dear friend and past employee".
Eoin Reynolds Cars Ltd continued: 'We were extremely shocked to hear of his accident.A proper gent and wishing him all the best from everyone here."

Eufy Smart Scale P3 review: Can a home scale actually track muscle mass?
This article contains affiliate links. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions. We may earn a commission when you click a link, buy a product or subscribe to a service. What is the Eufy Smart Scale P3? The Eufy Smart Scale P3 is a feature-packed smart scale, named The Telegraph 's Best Buy bathroom scale, for its blend of affordability and high-spec health tracking. Priced in the mid-range (around £70, but often discounted for less), it stands out in a crowded market by offering 16 body composition metrics, including weight, body fat, muscle mass, heart rate and more, delivered through a smart, durable design with a large, colourful display. Unlike basic bathroom scales, the P3 syncs data via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the EufyLife app and major platforms like Apple Health, Google Fit and Fitbit, making it easy to track progress over time. It supports unlimited user profiles and includes dedicated modes for babies, pets, pregnancy and athletes, plus a 'simple mode' for those with pacemakers who need to avoid the electrical signals used for tracking. Standout features include a motivational avatar that changes as you progress, highly accurate readings to 0.1lb/50g and a stable, anti-tip design. For anyone seeking a smart, reliable and user-friendly way to monitor health at home, the Eufy P3 is well worth a closer look. How we test bathroom scales I started by seeing how easy the scales were to set up and use straight out of the box, along with if there were any issues connecting them to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and any apps. I then appraised how clear the display was and how user-friendly and accurate the scales were. I mostly did this both by weighing myself and a test item to see how similar or dissimilar the readings were, while also taking into consideration the maximum weight capacity for each. Since quite a number of these bathroom scales, particularly those of the smart kind, had a range of different features and controls, I considered these as well. Out of all the bathroom scales that I put to the test, Eufy's is the one that I have continued to use to keep track of my weight and health metrics, mainly thanks to the engaging app. Why you can trust Telegraph Recommended Our thorough, real-world tests will always help you find the best product. No manufacturer ever sees Telegraph Recommended reviews before publication and we don't accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, nor do we allow brands to pay for placement in our articles. From running shoes to exercise bikes, all reviews are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Accuracy Score: 9/10 Comparing these scales to the nine others I tested, I was able to gauge how accurate Eufy's was when tracking a number of weight readings. Not only was this set reliable compared to the others, I found that even when I stepped on and off the scales several times in a row, they showed the exact same number, giving me confidence in terms of accuracy. At times there would be only 0.1 of a decimal difference when moving from one set of smart or digital scales to the other, which was a decent enough allowance to make. The body composition measurements are harder to measure accuracy on, where Eufy uses bioelectrical impedance analysis, which sends a small, safe electric current through your body and measures the resistance encountered. It then analyses this data alongside your height, weight, age and gender the estimate the 16 metrics, including body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass, visceral fat, water content and more. These results are then displayed in detail within the Eufy Life app, where you can track your progress over time, view trends and export reports. As with all smart scales, this is an estimation rather than dead-set medical information, but from what I know about my own body, I found them to be fairly accurate. You can enter the data into your fitness tracker to increase the accuracy of the information it shows you. Ease of use Score: 8/10 The scales are incredibly easy to use. Once you pop the batteries in the compartment on the rear side, you are ready to go. The scale does work without being connected to the accompanying app, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but you won't be able to access all of the measurements without doing so. The process of taking the scales out of the box and setting up my own profile on the app took just a few minutes, meaning I was able to start tracking all of my desired metrics and data quickly. I also appreciated that the scales didn't wobble at all, feeling stable on tiled, hardwood and vinyl flooring thanks to the four textured rubber feet. My only real issue was the foot tapping controls. They are designed so that you are able to switch between the different measurement units and user profiles at the tap of your foot. Yet it wasn't that simple. Sometimes it took eight to ten taps for the scales to register that I was trying to utilise these controls. Because of this, I ended up relying solely on the app to switch between settings. This might not be too much of a deal-breaker, but if you don't have your phone and the app to hand, this could be quite frustrating. Display Score: 9/10 The display is large and clear, letting me see the different stats with ease. The numbers are bright and big enough that I didn't feel the need to lean down, like I have when using other bathroom scales in the past. When switching between the different measurements, the amounts were equally legible. I also liked that it wasn't just a monochrome display. Each user has their own individual avatar, shown in colour on the display, which you can tailor to look like you, your friends or family members – including babies and pets. Any achievements and celebrations of your weight tracking goals are also shown in colour, which I liked. I also appreciated that the display included battery, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi indicators to let you know when you might need to replace the batteries or if there are any connectivity issues. Capacity Score: 8/10 With a weight capacity of up to 200kg – or around 31 and a half stone – this set of bathroom scales has one of the highest capacities on the market. When putting bathroom scales to the test, the majority ranged somewhere between 150kg and 200kg, with most having a maximum weight of 180kg, making Eufy's a better option for heavier individuals. One slight negative was that you can't quickly weigh an inanimate object, like a suitcase or heavy parcel, as you are able to with mechanical scales or some other digital scales. This is because these scales are designed to measure body composition via an electrical current, which for obvious reasons, doesn't work on anything that isn't live. There is a way to get around it; set up baby mode, but instead of holding an infant, weigh yourself while holding a suitcase. The scales then weigh you without the suitcase and display the difference in the same way as it works with an actual child or pet in pet mode. Special features Score: 9/10 Part of what makes the Eufy Smart Scale P3 impressive is the number of special features it has. In addition to the usual metrics like weight, BMI and heart rate, the P3 also measures bone mass, skeletal muscle mass, water and protein levels, with 16 health measurements in total. This is one of the highest numbers of those on the market, particularly at this price point. It was the app that cemented the Eufy scales as a favourite for me. Features like progress graphs and a 3D virtual body model enable you to track your progress with ease and in a visual way, which I found helpful. The app has what it calls a 'smart coach,' giving you individualised recommendations to help you meet any fitness goals you have set, or spur you on to keep you motivated. Technical specifications Depending on your budget and how many health metrics you're looking for your scales to track, there are a number of devices and brands to choose from. From higher end options from the likes of Withings or Garmin to more affordable smart scales, one of the most comparable to the Euphy Smart Scale P3 is Renpho's Elis Solar 2 Smart Body Scale. But at less than half the price, how does it compare? Should you buy the Eufy Smart Scale P3? The Eufy Smart Scale is the best at-home smart scale I've found, tracking everything from weight to body fat, BMI, muscle mass and bone mass. But not everyone will need quite so much detail. Yes, if: No, if: You're on a budget Eufy Smart Scale FAQs How accurate is the Eufy Smart Scale P3? During testing I found this scale to be one of the most accurate, delivering accuracy up to 0.1lb/50g. Why does my Eufy scale show inconsistent weight? According to the brand, 'the accuracy of a scale during measurement can be affected by the user's standing position and posture. Scales are designed with four-point balance, meaning each sensor needs to be evenly loaded for the most precise reading. However, since it's difficult to control exactly where and how a user stands, slight variations can occur after just a few minutes. These discrepancies tend to be more noticeable in heavier individuals.' How do I calibrate my Eufy Smart Scale P3? To calibrate your scale, all you need to do is simply step on and off it. Can multiple users share one scale? Yes. An unlimited number of users can be created and used on the Eufy Smart Scale P3. What's the difference between Eufy P1, P2 and P3 models? As you might expect, there are a few differences between Eufy's three smart scale models. Because the P1 scales are no longer available to purchase here in the UK, I've put together a handy table to compare the two latest models.

Spanish Grand Prix practice: Latest updates from Barcelona
Latest updates Kieran Crichard 30 May 2025 1:20pm 1:20PM Long runs Norris is on the soft tyre and McLaren will be getting some data on how the soft is performing over a longer run. The McLaren is so good on its tyres, which is a big part of why their race pace is very good. 1:15PM Top ten with 15 minutes to go Norris 1:13.718 Verstappen +0.367 Hamilton +0.378 Leclerc +0.520 Piastri +0.576 Lawson +621 Bearman +0.879 Hadjar +0.887 Tsunoda +0.925 Gasly +1.028 1:04PM Changes at the top Leclerc had gone half a second faster than Russell but he is then pipped at the top by Verstappen. Norris is on a lap, as is Hamilton. The seven-time world champion is just off the time of Verstappen before Norris goes purple, purple, purple to go nearly four tenths quicker than Verstappen. Piastri can only go fifth, more than half a second down on his teammate Norris. 1:00PM New man at the top of the timesheets Mercedes' George Russell is on the medium tyre and goes just over half a second clear of Norris. The Sauber of Hulkenberg then jumps up into second, just over a tenth off Russell, but he is on the soft tyre. Hamilton is now back out on track and has a new set of softs on the car. His Ferrari teammate Leclerc is also on a new set of softs. 12:59PM Meanwhile at Alpine It has been a tumultuous few months for the team, with now former team principal Oliver Oakes departing and they have already had a change of drivers with Colapinto replacing Jack Doohan. Flavio Briatore is back at the team and seemingly at the helm and he will face the media in between sessions. 12:55PM Activity at Ferrari The mechanics are hard at work on Hamilton's Ferrari. 12:54PM Not much change? Verstappen, who sits third on the timesheets at the moment, has also been having his say ahead of the weekend on the front wings: 'It will change the balance of the car a bit. I do not expect massive time gains or losses between the teams. The wings never gave us a massive performance gain. I do not know if we got it wrong or did not extract the most from it. 'Even for the other teams, I am sure it is manageable. If you have a good car, you have a good car. Okay the front wing bends a bit less but you can tune it around.' 12:47PM View from the seven-time world champion Hamilton has nearly collided with the RB of Hadjar at turn 12. He is currently eighth fastest and here is what he has had to say on the testing of the flexible front wings ahead of the weekend: 'The flexi-wing was a band-aid for quality design I would say - getting the set-up and creating devices and mechanisms on the car mechanically, all the engineers are able to do it. 'It is still not that easy to get the load that you need on the front end at a low speed, or just rely solely on mechanical grip. So far everyone has been managing, some people better than others. 'This weekend is going to be interesting because we have got less flex at the front wing. You have a lot of front end at high-speed corners and less at low speed. It will be interesting to see how that affects different teams. Some teams probably did a better job than others, so I have no idea how it will affect us.' 12:43PM That did not last long! Norris goes purple in the first two sectors and goes quickest overall, over two tenths clear of Alonso. Here is the current top five: Norris 1:15.259 Alonso +0.221 Verstappen +0.546 Piastri +0.553 Stroll +0.663 12:41PM Home fans celebrating Still early days in FP1 but Alonso is at the top of the timesheets, much to the delight of the home faithful. I suspect there will not be many times at all this weekend that Alonso or Sainz will be fastest. He is a tenth and a half clear of Norris. Verstappen is in third followed by Piastri and Leclerc.

England ace Michelle Agyemang insists ‘there is more to come from her' with the Lionesses
SURREAL is how Michelle Agyemang described her emergence as a senior England international this year. Last month the versatile Arsenal striker, 19, showed why Gunners and England legend Kelly Smith sees her as one of the club's "fearless" rising stars. 5 5 5 5 Less than a minute into her senior debut, the England ace let fly with a stunning volley that found its targets in a Nations League duel with Belgium. While the Lionesses fell to a 3-2 away loss in that game on April 4 Agyemang's 16-minute cameo underlined why her rise through England's ranks has been rapid. After scoring a hat-trick in a 10-0 demolition of Lithuania in the Women's Under-19 Championship last July, the striker moved up to England's Under-23s two months later. And just two months after scoring a brace against Germany in a friendly for the side, she received first call-up into Sarina Wiegman's England squad. Of her emergence as a senior international player, Agyemang said: "I'm a person of few words, so I'm struggling already. "I think it's 'surreal', like, just the manner in which it happened. "There are so many more things to come and I'm just really grateful for the opportunity." Agyemang's appearance in England's last Nations League outing came at a time of the team contending with injuries to Alessia Russo and Lauren James. Forward Lauren Hemp, now back in the squad after her comeback from injury, was also yet to return to match action for her club Manchester City. With the trio out, Wiegman opted to bring in Agyemang who impressed during her loan spell at Brighton from Arsenal last season, as well for the young Lionesses. Reflecting on her first call-up and being in England's squad this month, she added: "When I got the phone-call [from Sarina when I was] just literally coming out of the shower, "It was unexpected, but I'm really grateful that she's put the trust in me to come in and show what I can do for a longer period of time. "It was amazing to get that call and to be here again. "My family has been so supportive. When I was telling them my mum was screaming, my dad was shouting as well and then my friends as well." Playing across three different age groups for England within 11 months does not phase Agyemang. The player who grew up in Southend, Essex and whose club journey with Arsenal began in their academy at six, is determined to deliver no matter which Lionesses side she plays for. Agyemang said: "Wherever I am (in whichever England team) it's about just going out there, helping the team prepare and winning the trophy. "We still have the Under- 19's Euros coming up (in June) as well as the senior Euros "It's been interesting going through the different age groups, meeting different players and coaches. "But I think the England pathway is so similar across the board so it's really easy to settle in no matter where I am." Against Portugal at 7:45pm tonight Agyemang hopes to get another chance to make her mark and help England return to winning ways in the Nations League. Should Spain lose to Belgium, a defeat of their opponents at Wembley would see Wiegman's side return to the top of their group. Agyemang's last experience of being near Wembley's pitch was during England's 4-0 defeat of Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier in October 2021. She said: "I was 15 and was a ball girl. They had a few of the girls from (England's) pathway there. Beth Mead scored (a hat-trick)." Tonight's game will provide a chance for Agyemang to continue to impress with the striker targeting a place in Sarina Wiegman's squad for this year's Euros. In Switzerland on July 5 the Lionesses will begin their push to win the tournament for a second time with a group stage clash with France. 5 And Agyemang hopes to be among the players included in Wiegman's 26-strong group. The Arsenal starlet added: "I like to take things one at a time. "Coming here (to England's camp), showing what I can do in order to maybe get on that plane is my first thought right now."
