In the salerooms: Record-breaking sale prices, a 1927 Free State florin design and mind-bending art on display

Noonan's The coin, with a harp on one side and a salmon on the other, was discovered in an antiques market in Italy over 40 years ago. It was designed by the Italian sculptor, Publio Morbiducci, who was invited to submit designs for Ireland's first coinage. The competition was won by the British engraver Percy Metcalfe and Morbiducci's florin never made it into circulation. Officially, only two sets were minted for presentation to the Irish Currency Commission. Unofficially, it's thought that Morbiducci minted several more sets for private use. Whyte's Achill Horses 1933 by Mainie Jellett (est €70,000-€100,000) sold for €210,000 at Whyte's Irish and International Art Auction on May 26. The outcome of a battle between two telephone bidders, the price broke the artist's world record. The previous record was for The Land Éire 1940, which fetched €110,000 at Whyte's in 2019. See Gormleys Art and Soul, the annual art and sculpture event at Castlemartyr resort, Cork, continues until June 29 with an outdoor exhibition of 90 large sculptures and an indoor show of smaller works. Exhibiting artists include Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Julian Opie, Salvador Dali, and Peter Monaghan – the Dublin artist known for three-dimensional pieces that play with geometry, optical effects and illusions.

Riverdance celebrates its 30th anniversary

Riverdance is celebrating its 30th anniversary tonight in unique style with the audience made up of past performers. Since debuting in 1994, the show has been seen by over 30 million people in more than 50 countries. "I think we will be full of emotion, and the hairs will be standing on the back of our neck," says the current lead dancer, Amy Mae Dolan. She wasn't born when the show was. "I don't think any of us could have ever imagined that we would have the opportunity to dance for the people we've watched on videos for years, to look out tonight and see their faces looking back at us. So it's pressure, but it's also excitement, and it's a chance for us to show them what we can do and thank them for paving the way for us," she says. Since debuting in 1994, the show has been seen by over 30 million people in over 50 countries For the Roddys, tonight is a family affair. Dad, Pat is a former dancer and his son, Daragh is a current one. "It was such a great time. We were the generation that hit the jackpot," says Pat. "We were the first batch of dancers to dance professionally, certainly at this level with the show. So just have been there and being part of it was a privilege." His son, Daragh, will be following in his footsteps and is among those who will dance tonight. "It's very exciting, an honour to be included tonight. It's a big show." It's now 30 years since Riverdance burst onto the stage and became a cultural phenomenon. "I feel I'm very privileged to have taken the show on this journey. I still love it as much as ever," says John McColgan, co-creator. "The future is strong. We're already booking tours for 2028 so I have no reason to believe … that we can't go for another 30 years," he said.

Tijjani Reijnders is £46million Man City signing who worked in ALDI and is named after legendary winger

TIJJANI REIJNDERS is perfectly placed to lead Manchester City's £130million supermarket sweep. The versatile midfielder used to stack shelves in Aldi but is now the first signing of a huge summer for Pep Guardiola. 11 Tijjani Reijnders is joining Manchester City from AC Milan for £45m Credit: Getty 11 The midfielder used to work in Aldi Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 He is a midfielder who can do a bit of everything Credit: Getty Reijnders, 26, idolises Kevin De Bruyne and will now be tasked with filling the gaping void left by the Belgian superstar. When the Netherlands international joined Milan he was asked about his rise to the top and said: "I recently noticed an article 'from amateur to "But when I think about it, I like 'from Aldi to AC Milan' even better!" Aldi to Manchester City will have an even better ring to it for Guardiola's new midfield general. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL It is quite the challenge for the midfielder, though he arrives with some stellar references. Milan and Netherlands great Frank Rijkaard is convinced Reijnders is destined for the top. Speaking earlier this season, he said: "I hope that "I really like his style of play. He can cover all roles in the midfield and shows his generosity: he never holds back from a run for the team and always gives his best.

Reijnders can bring a bit of everything to a Kevin De Bruyne given emotional Etihad send off as Man City take huge leap towards return to Champions League The former AZ Alkmaar man made more interceptions than any other midfielder in Serie A this season as well as creating the most chances from open play. He may not have the craft of De Bruyne when it comes to creating chances - there are few, if any, who do - but Reijnders can also find the back of the net. Milan's maestro bagged 15 goals from midfield this term - two more than any other midfielder in the Italian top flight. Reijnders' path to the top has been carefully plotted, aided by his father and agent, Martin - a former player himself who was a team-mate of The family clearly planned a footballing career for their son from day one, naming him Tijjani after former Nigerian winger, Tijani Babangida. Younger brother Eliano also plays for his father's former side, Zwolle. Martin revealed after sealing Tijjani's move to Milan that the pair had decided to turn down Barcelona in order to join the Rossoneri. Barca were on the lookout for an heir to Sergio Busquets and Reijnders' father made the brave and bold decision to tell his son that he was not quite up to the task. 11 Reijnders' parents named their son after former Ajax and Nigeria winger Tijani Babangida Credit: Getty 11 His brother Eliano plays for Zwolle Credit: Alamy 11 Reijnders is hoping to fill the void left behind by Kevin De Bruyne Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders He told Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad: "I immediately told Tijjani, 'You are not that type of player. Before you know it, you'll end up on the bench. And you'd become yet another player who fails abroad.'" There was Premier League interest two years ago, but Reijnders has rapidly developed in Milan and now feels prepared to take his biggest step yet. As well as carefully planning his progression, Reijnders has studied fellow players to add as much to his game as possible. Speaking to 'Especially the way he was scanning the pitch before he gets the ball so he always knows where the space is. "I try to do the same.' Before looking to add elements of De Bruyne to his game, City's new man carefully studied another Guardiola stalwart in Andres Iniesta. There are few deals which can be a sure thing, not every signing is as obvious as Erling Haaland. But in Reijnders, Manchester City look to have identified a player capable of grabbing hold of a game who is primed to slot straight into a Guardiola side. 11 Reijnders has an eye for goal Credit: Getty 11 He is married to Marina Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 They welcomed baby son Xavien in February 2024 Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 The family regularly post snaps on social media Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 Reijnders will provide a welcome boost for Pep Guardiola Credit: Getty
