Taoiseach Micheál Martin's Cork office vandalised amid ‘personal threats'
Taoiseach Micheál Martin's constituency office in Cork has been vandalised for the third time, according to his spokesman.
In the most recent incident on Tuesday night, the office was daubed with red paint with the words 'Zionist pawn' painted on a window.
A notice posted on the door claimed that the Government has been 'complicit in the apartheid, occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people inflicted by Israel.'
Pictures of the vandalism were shared online on Wednesday morning.

In a statement, a spokesman for the Taoiseach said: 'I can confirm there was an act of vandalism on the constituency office last night, this is the third such attack.
'Personal threats have also previously been sent to the office, warning the Taoiseach it will be made impossible for him to navigate in public spaces.
'This is a working office with constituency staff acting on a daily basis to support the community on various issues.
'Those responsible for these criminal acts and intimidatory and abusive threats are fundamentally anti-democratic.
'We believe the vast majority of people who are appalled by the situation in Gaza would have nothing to do with such actions.'

Bill to extend Rent Pressure Zones 'an utter shambles'
The Dáil is debating legislation to extend Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs) across the country. The Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Bill 2025 is expected to be passed by the lower house of the Oireachtas today and go to the Seanad tomorrow. Sinn Féin's Spokesperson on Housing Eoin Ó Broin described the proposed legislation as "an utter shambles" and "utterly defensible". He told the Dáil that he has never witnessed such a "haphazard, ramshackle, back of the envelope" approach to a crucial policy, adding that it is a "farce". Minister of State at the Department of Housing Christopher O'Sullivan, who introduced the bill, said that the Government is moving fast because tenants need protection and this will be delivered by extending RPZs. "This is an immediate and concrete protection against high rent inflation," he added, claiming that it would create certainty, stability and clarity for the sector. Mr O'Sullivan added that "this will come as a great sigh of relief" to many of his constituents in Cork South-West. However, Mr Ó Broin described the Government move as an "assault on renters" who "will be the losers". Ministers, he added, "scrambled around" to add references to students to the bill after failing to mention them in any advance briefing. "It is the Fianna Fáil rent hike bill," the deputy said, adding that the party's solution to rising rents "is to keep those rents rising". Mr Ó Broin also said that the move amounts to the dismantling of Rent Pressure Zones and "rips the heart out of the RPZs". He claimed that "in the best case scenario" the proposals will create a modest increase of (housing) supply in high-value areas "and everybody else will be left behind". Security of tenure changes will benefit a small group of tenants, Mr Ó Broin conceded, but said they will create more complicated and difficult rules that can be exploited by rogue landlords and will lead accidental landlords to make mistakes. All this will add to the workload of the already overloaded Residential Tenacies Board (RTB), he said. Mr O'Sullivan defended the bill, claiming the Government is aiming to strike a balance in its approach. "We aim to attract investment, but we know that tenants deserve and need fair treatment," he said. The minister noted that a larger landlord - with four or more tenancies - cannot end a tenancy created on or after March 2026 via a no-fault eviction. "No-fault evictions will be restricted to smaller landlords and outlawed for larger landlords," Mr O'Sullivan said. The minister added that rent resetting would be allowed only in specific circumstances. "This will come as a great sigh of relief" to many of his constituents in Cork South-West, the minister added. Minister of State John Cummins said that 17% of tenancies are outside RPZs. He emphasised the role of enforcement and noted that the RTB has launched "several in-depth investigations into serious, deliberate and repeated breaches of rental law".

Friend ‘tried to help him to safety': Boy (17) who drowned in river Barrow named locally
A teenage boy who died after getting in difficulty swimming in the river Barrow on Tuesday evening has been named locally. Peter Byrne, from Dolmen Gardens, Carlow town was found by garda divers around 11pm in the river Barrow. The 17-year-old is understood to have been swimming with a friend when he got into difficulty around 6.30pm in the river in the Milford area of the county. The teenager had been at a local gym with a couple of friends when he and another friend decided to go swimming at Cloghristick, Milford. READ MORE However, it's understood he got into difficulty at the swimming spot due to strong river currents. His friend saw what was happening and desperately tried to help him. However, he too was being drawn into the river currents but managed to swim to safety and raise the alarm. Gardaí and emergency services from Carlow town were quickly on the scene. The teenager was a transition year student in the local CBS secondary school in Carlow town. Emergency services along with gardaí remained at the scene for several hours as a search got under way to locate the teenager. The scene remains cordoned off by gardaí. In a statement gardaí said that following a search operation involving emergency services, the Garda Water Unit recovered the body of a male, aged in his late teens, from the river Barrow at Milford, yesterday evening. The teenager's remains have been transferred to University Hospital Waterford (UHW) where a postmortem examination will take place in due course. A file will be prepared for the Coroner. A local man who knows the Byrne family said: 'It's an awful shock to hear such news. The family are well-known in the area. Both of Peter's friends, the boy who tried to help him to safety in the water and their friend who was at the gym with them, are both in a terrible state.'

Threats of violence could trigger suspension of bus services in Limerick, union warns
Siptu organiser Andrew Quigley said he received numerous reports of increased levels of anti-social behaviour on Bus Éireann's route 303 service in recent days. The incidents include young people throwing stones at bus windows and workers being subjected to verbal abuse and threats of violence. Mr Quigley claimed some incidents are not being reported due to delayed responses from gardaí as a result of high levels of demand on their resources. 'Our members are raising serious concerns about their safety and well-being while operating this route,' he said. He called on Bus Éireann to hold meetings with all stakeholders, including trade unions, the local authority and gardaí, to work on eliminating the threat to passengers and workers. Siptu has written to the company to request an urgent meeting to discuss the incidents. Mr Quigley said there was serious damage to buses and endangerment of workers in recent days. 'If action is not taken to deal with what is a long term and recurring issue on this route then our members will be forced to suspend services,' he said. 'This is something they do not wish to do as they fully understand the detrimental impact which it has on the local community.' Siptu sector organiser John Murphy said the solution to a crisis of anti-social behaviour on the public transport network is the creation of a standalone transport policing service. The union has called for the introduction of this service as part of a Respect Transport Workers campaign. Mr Murphy said the Government has included this objective in its Programme for Government. 'Our members stand ready to work with all stakeholders to make the creation of such as service a reality in as short a time frame as possible,' he said. 'However, prior to this goal being achieved services must continue to operate in all communities. We believe the engagement with stakeholders to immediately bring greater safety for workers can be done in tandem with the work necessary to establish the foundations of the new transport policing service.'
