New Castlepark Manor scheme in Dalkey with apartments from €750,000 and houses from €1.75m
When motor dealer Frank Keane's Dalkey home was put up for sale in 2018, it was thought unlikely that the house and its one-acre garden would become the subject of a redevelopment, owing to the lack of access to the Richmond site. Fast-forward seven years, and that access issue has been resolved following the demolition of the original house and its replacement with Castlepark Manor, which will be a scheme of 10 houses and 14 apartments when complete.
Designed by Tyler Owens Architects, the original house has been knocked and Castlepark Manor is being built on the plot that backs on to Hyde Park. Construction is well under way at the development and the 10 houses are all close to shell stage. The floors of the apartments have been poured, and it is expected that Castlepark Manor will be complete by May next year.
Three houses and four apartments at the scheme have just been released on to the market through agent Vincent Finnegan. The houses range in price from €1.75 million to €2.25 million, and the apartments are from €750,000 up to €1.525 million for the penthouses.

The living areas in the houses are open plan and the bedrooms are en suite. Balconies, gardens and barbecue areas will be a feature of all of the new homes, with sizes depending on where on the site the property is situated.
The 14 apartments will be housed in a four-storey block at the entrance to the development. There are one-, two- and three-bedroom units on offer. The two penthouse apartments have three bedrooms and a study, along with outdoor terraces. There are also some two-bedroom types that have a library or study, and a one-bedroom apartment with an office.
The fittings will be high-end with kitchens and bespoke joinery by Michael Farrell, appliances will be by Gaggenau and Blanco, and Kahrs engineered oak floors will be fitted in the living areas.
Windows and doors will be Crittal-style Aluclad by Carlson and the main entrance doors will be composite for extra security and durability. The energy-efficient homes will have smart technology installed, and each property is being built with high levels of insulation and airtightness.
The location is quiet and residential with schools such as Castle Park and Loreto within walking distance. Dalkey village is less than 10 minutes away on foot and a walk to the Dart station will take 15 minutes.

All pupils in families on universal credit to be entitled to free school meals
Currently, households in England on universal credit must earn below £7,400 a year (after tax and not including benefits) to qualify for free school meals. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the expansion was 'a truly historic moment for our country' (Ben Birchall/PA) But the Government has announced that every pupil whose household is on universal credit will have a new entitlement to free school lunches from the start of the 2026/27 academic year. The move comes after campaigners and education leaders have called for free school meals to be extended to all children whose families are on universal credit to ease pressures on young people living in poverty. Nearly 2.1 million pupils – almost one in four of all pupils (24.6%) – in England were eligible for free school meals in January 2024. The DfE has said more than half-a-million more children are expected to benefit from a free meal every school day as a result of the expansion, and nearly £500 will be put back into parents' pockets every year. It suggested that the expansion will lift 100,000 children across England completely out of poverty. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: 'Feeding more children every day, for free, is one of the biggest interventions we can make to put more money in parents' pockets, tackle the stain of poverty, and set children up to learn. 'This expansion is a truly historic moment for our country, helping families who need it most and delivering our Plan for Change to give every child, no matter their background, the same chance to succeed.' The DfE is due to release data on Thursday morning showing the number of state school pupils in England who are eligible for free school meals. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said: 'It is the moral mission of this government to tackle the stain of child poverty, and today this government takes a giant step towards ending it with targeted support that puts money back in parents' pockets. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said the intervention would help the Government 'deliver excellence everywhere, for every child' (Yui Mok/PA) 'From free school meals to free breakfast clubs, breaking the cycle of child poverty is at the heart of our Plan for Change to cut the unfair link between background and success. 'We believe that background shouldn't mean destiny. Today's historic step will help us to deliver excellence everywhere, for every child and give more young people the chance to get on in life.' The Government's child poverty taskforce is due to publish its 10-year strategy later this year. Nick Harrison, chief executive of the Sutton Trust social mobility charity, said: 'This is a significant step towards taking hunger out of the classroom. 'Children can't learn effectively when hungry, so this announcement not only helps to tackle the effects of child poverty, but will also likely help improve education outcomes for disadvantaged young people. 'Giving free school meals to all families who are eligible for universal credit is also easier for parents to understand, so has the potential to increase take-up rates.' Kate Anstey, head of education policy at the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) charity, said: 'This is fantastic news and a game-changer for children and families. 'At last, more kids will get the food they need to learn and thrive and millions of parents struggling to make ends meet will get a bit of breathing space. 'We hope this is a sign of what's to come in autumn's child poverty strategy, with government taking more action to meet its manifesto commitment to reduce child poverty in the UK.' Pepe Di'Iasio, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: 'There's some detail to be worked through on exactly how this transition will work and we look forward to talking with the Government about that. 'But, certainly, expanding free school meal eligibility in this way is absolutely the right thing to do.' Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), said: 'We join families and schools across England in welcoming this necessary and overdue first step in expanding free school meals eligibility. 'The existing threshold had been unchanged since 2018, meaning hundreds of thousands of children in poverty were missing out on the nutrition they need to thrive.' But he added that many children in families who just miss out on being eligible for universal credit will also 'miss out on a hot, healthy school meal'. Mr Kebede said: 'Ensuring that a free school meal is available to all children is the next urgent step that must be taken.' The Liberal Democrats said the change was a 'victory for thousands of passionate campaigners' but was 'only a first step' towards helping children in poverty. The party's education spokeswoman Munira Wilson MP said: 'Liberal Democrats have been pushing hard for this crucial change for years. It's a victory for thousands of passionate campaigners that the Government has finally listened.' She added: 'To end the cost-of-learning crisis, the Government needs to commit to auto-enrolling eligible children for free school meals, lifting the two-child benefit cap, and capping uniform costs to truly change the lives of children in poverty. We'll hold their feet to the fire to make sure today's change is just a start.'

The two women then both fall to the ground gripping one another as they are surrounded by a group of onlookers at the store, in Eccles, Greater Manchester, who try to drag them apart. The shopper who filmed the chaotic self-checkout incident said the woman with a wheelchair "started screaming and throwing things" but had no idea "what set her off". The customer said: "To be honest, I am not too sure what set her off. She just started screaming and throwing things. Then she got out of her chair and attacked a poor woman who only came in for a balloon." Another witness then claimed that the woman began "swinging" at an officer after police were called to the supermarket. Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were called to the supermarket. They were at around 6.15pm to reports of two women fighting. One woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle has always had to take the winding road to NBA success
OKLAHOMA CITY — The drive between the little upstate New York towns of Lisbon and Ogdensburg, by Rick Carlisle's recollection, would take about eight minutes. In that part of the world, in the St. Lawrence valley just a few miles south of Canada, that's like going next door. That ride is probably a reason why Carlisle — the Indiana Pacers coach — is at the NBA Finals for a sixth time as a player, assistant coach and now a head coach. The story behind the ride is this: Carlisle went to Lisbon Central, a school where everyone from kindergarten through 12th grade was housed in the same building — that's quite common in that part of the world — and was the first 1,000-point scorer there. But if he wanted to watch NBA games, the family had to hop in the car and head to Ogdensburg. The reason? There was no cable TV in Lisbon at that time, and the aerial antenna at the family home couldn't pick up any NBA games. 'We had a thing, you turn the rotor in the direction and the antenna would move and it would either go towards Kingston, Ontario, or Watertown, New York,' Carlisle said. And back in those days we only got the CBS affiliate, and they didn't have the NBA back in those early years. But we got Hockey Night in Canada." And yes, Carlisle played hockey in those days. He just liked basketball more. That's why that eight-minute drive would get made, over and over, so he could see NBA games. Fast forward to now, and Carlisle — who won a title with Boston as a player and with Dallas as a head coach — is four wins away from another championship. 'I can't say enough about him and the respect I have for him,' said Mark Daigneault, whose Oklahoma City team will face off with Carlisle's Pacers when the NBA Finals start Thursday night. "I think the whole is better than the sum of the parts. Almost consistently across every year he's ever coached, the team is better than their sum. I think that's a reflection of him. 'His teams play a clear identity, stay in character through all the ups and downs. That identity has changed over the years based on his teams, the league trends. But his teams are always in character. This year is certainly no exception.' There are parallels between Daigneault and Carlisle. Both are incredibly smart. Both might lean toward a dry sense of humor. And Daigneault isn't exactly a big-city guy, either. His hometown — Leominster, Massachusetts — has a population of about 43,000, which makes it an absolute metropolis compared to Lisbon and its population of about 4,300. Big city, small town, no matter one's roots, Daigneault said everyone feels the same way getting to the finals. 'Every single person that's participating in this, whether it's coaches, players, staff, there was a time in their life when this was just a dream,' Daigneault said. 'This wasn't a foregone conclusion for them. That's every player that's participating. There's a time when they were in their driveway shooting 1-on-0 with a basket counting down the end of the game. That's what makes it so special to participate in.' Carlisle was close friends with Hal Cohen, who played at nearby Canton Central and was part of Jim Boeheim's first class at Syracuse. Cohen was one of the first players from that part of the world to play basketball at a Division I level; he showed Carlisle the way. Carlisle went to prep school for a year before starting his college playing career at Maine, his lone Division I offer. He wound up eventually transferring to Virginia and playing alongside Ralph Sampson. 'Changed my life forever,' Carlisle said. Carlisle got drafted in the third round in 1984 — 'a round that no longer exists in the draft,' Carlisle says — and played in the league for parts of five seasons, with a brief stint with the CBA's Albany Patroons thrown in there as well. He was with the Patroons not long after one of their more successful coaches had left; that coach's name was Phil Jackson, who went on to win 11 NBA titles. The road here, just like that road between Lisbon and Ogdensburg, was more than a bit winding. 'Had great coaching and a lot of things that were very fortunate,' Carlisle said. 'I ended up getting drafted by Boston in a round that no longer exists in the draft. A lot of things fell my way. But I worked hard, too.' NBA: /nba
