Domino's announce spicy US favourite heading to Irish shops
Domino's have announced that a hugely popular pizza in the US are coming to shops in Ireland.
With some enjoying drizzles such as BBQ sauce and ranch on their pizzas, others may enjoy something a little hotter — with hot honey drizzle being a favourite on the other side of the Atlantic.
If you've been stateside and enjoyed the hot sweetness and have since come close to madness trying to find it in Ireland, you're in luck — as Domino's have announced that the drizzle is coming to pizzas in Ireland.

'We've blended sweet, pure honey and fiery chilli flakes to create a drizzle that's so delicious; it might just become the talk of the hive,' Domino's Director of Innovation Louise Pilkington said.
'In addition to tasting The Ultimate Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, customers will be able to add Hot Honey Drizzle to their Create Your Own pizza creations. It's been so exciting to bring one of my favourite ingredients to the Domino's menu!'
As well as adding the hot honey drizzle to the Create Your Own pizzas, hot honey lovers will also be delighted to know that the Ultimate Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza will be added to the menu — with the traditional pepperoni pizza being drizzled with the hot honey.

Those who are hot honey lovers will need to act fast, however, as the drizzle will be around only for four weeks.
The hot honey drizzle came as the pizza company revealed a more controversial menu item earlier this year — a garlic sauce flavoured Easter egg.

The Irish rugby club in Perth buzzing to have the Lions in town
THERE WILL BE thousands of Irish fans travelling Down Under in the next few weeks to be part of the Lions' famous 'Sea of Red.' Given the hefty Irish representation in the Lions squad and staff, there has never been more reason to make the trek. But this tour is also significant for the Irish who call Australia home. Around 2.5 million people there have Irish heritage and more than 100,000 Irish-born people are living Down Under. We're talking about roughly 10% of all Australians being connected to Ireland. So a green-tinged Lions tour is very welcome indeed. And the Lions' first stop on tour is a case in point. Perth is a popular destination among the estimated 40,000 Irish people who emigrate to Australia annually. Mining, construction, and medical jobs are big draws, as is the chilled-out lifestyle and natural beauty on the west coast. Tralee man Brendan O'Mahony – who has been in Perth for 14 years – is a project manager with Civmec, a construction and engineering company that was involved in building Optus Stadium, the venue for the Lions' opening game against Western Force on Saturday. O'Mahony is also the president of Perth Irish RFC, who are celebrating their 10th season as a club. Lions fever has been rife among Perth Irish and they welcomed the tourists' chairman, Ieuan Evans, and CEO, Ben Calveley, down to their home at Centenary Park earlier this week. All the local senior competitions have a bye this weekend because of the Lions' visit, but Perth Irish are hosting a junior rugby carnival on Saturday morning. Optus Stadium in Perth. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Most people involved in Perth Irish will then be at the Western Force game on Saturday evening and many of them will fly to the east coast to be at one or more of the Lions' Tests against the Wallabies. 'Rugby union is struggling in Australia but within our expat circle, there's a lot of excitement around the Lions,' says O'Mahony. 'Thankfully, the Wallabies have started to pick their socks up a little bit. Two years ago, it wasn't looking good for a Lions tour, but I think they'll give them a good match now.' Advertisement Whatever about the Wallabies' renewal under Joe Schmidt, there's no doubt that Perth Irish hope to keep going from strength to strength. The club was founded in early 2016. Seamus Walsh, a Waterford man, had been bringing his son to play junior rugby elsewhere and couldn't help but notice how many Irish kids and parents there were. We could nearly start our own thing, he thought. So they did. A meeting took place at the Irish Club of Western Australia in the Subiaco suburb of Perth. Walsh and some friends formed the rugby club and took to Facebook to get the message out. O'Mahony was among a group of around 40 lads who turned up for the first few training sessions. He played in the club's first-ever trial game against Curtin University in March 2016. 'It was a tough slog for a couple of years,' says O'Mahony, 'but it was always good fun and it was all about growing the club.' The Perth Irish women's team. Perth Irish RFC Perth Irish RFC Perth Irish expanded slowly but surely and they won their first silverware in 2019 with Western Australia Championship Grade success, which remains their only title so far. The women's team was launched in 2017, another big milestone. But then Covid hit and almost killed the club. They just about clung on and launched their 'second phase' in 2022, using what tiny amount of money was left in the club account to hire an online marketing specialist to get their name out to the Perth public. Nowadays, Perth Irish have more than 100 registered adult players between two men's and one women's teams, as well as around 45 junior players. Premier Grade is the highest level of club rugby in Western Australia and Perth Irish aren't at those lofty heights yet, playing instead in the Championship Grade competition. There is a crop of Irish expats involved in the Premier Grade competition, but Perth Irish have had a few former All-Ireland League players through the club over the past decade. They even welcomed ex-Leinster number eight Leo Auva'a in for a short stint. 'You wouldn't want to be standing in front of him,' says O'Mahony with a laugh. Perth Irish are always keen to let people know that the club isn't just for those with Irish roots. They have even debated whether the name is holding them back a bit, but the message is getting out there. They've had 23 different nationalities play for the club. They currently have four Kenyan players – one of whom is among their leading lights – and they've had English, Scottish, Welsh, Australian, Kiwi, and even Japanese players at different stages. Everyone gets a good Irish welcome. Some of the junior players in Perth Irish. Perth Irish RFC Perth Irish RFC As well as the other rugby clubs in Perth, there is competition from the many other sporting codes. There are two local Australian rules teams in the AFL – both play in Optus Stadium – while cricket, soccer, basketball, netball, and field hockey are all popular. A rugby league club, Perth Bears, are due to join the NRL in 2027. Then you have the Irish competition. The Gaelic Athletic Association of Western Australia is made up of seven football clubs and four hurling teams. So the natives and expats alike have plenty of choice. Perth Irish will be hoping this Lions tour gives rugby union a much-needed boost. And they will welcome any future arrivals from Ireland with a typical céad míle fáilte. 'Perth is not a big city, it's probably no bigger than Cork,' says O'Mahony of living there. 'It's all spread out in the suburbs and it doesn't feel like you're living in a big city. It doesn't feel like a big rat race. 'It's a lot more laid-back, a good beachy vibe, you've got Margaret River down the road. It's a nice way of living. 'I do feel like there's always a preconceived notion of Australia where everybody's reference point is Home & Away, so they think we're surfing before work and at lunchtime and we go down and buy a juice off Alf Stewart and all that carry on. 'But no, we work hard over here. I reckon that the Irish at this stage probably have a better work-life balance than we do over here. 'So you do work hard but when you're off, it's a beautiful place. For nine or 10 months of the year, you don't even need to check the forecast. That makes a difference.' Having the Lions in town this week has made it even more enjoyable.

A third of companies are looking to scale back on work-from-home option, despite its popularity with employees, survey finds
That's according to the 2025 Benefits Trends Survey carried out by WTW, a multinational insurance broker. Orlagh Farrington, head of health and benefits at WTW in Ireland, said the one-third figure was a slight decline on the previous year, adding employers are looking to balance their needs with employee expectations. 'Nearly half of Irish jobseekers say they would turn down a role that doesn't offer hybrid or remote options,' she said. 'This puts employers in a challenging position: while some are eager to bring teams back onsite, they risk losing out on top talent if flexibility is reduced too aggressively.' The survey also found that rising benefit costs were a top issue, with 61pc of employers saying it was influencing benefit strategies. Healthcare benefits was identified as the most prevalent cost, with 41pc saying this was the most challenging to implement. Farrington said Irish employers were 'under increasing pressure to do more with less'. 'Most employers have indicated that rising budget pressures and increasing benefit costs are limiting their ability to enhance or expand their benefits offerings,' she added. "Unlike in previous years, when benefit enhancements were more common, employers are now focused on maintaining current benefit levels in a cost-neutral way.' So far, she had not seen widespread cuts to benefits. WTW's survey included 41 Irish employers, representing over 41,000 employees.

Kraken becomes first crypto giant to get Mica licence from Central Bank
The move means that Kraken can now trade across the 30-member European Economic Area as a fully-regulated entity. Andrew Mulvenny, the Dublin-based general manager of trading platform for Kraken, described the move as a 'huge milestone and a massive achievement'. It comes after a run of bad news for Ireland in the crypto space, with Coinbase following Gemini out of Ireland as its main regulatory hub in recent months. Coinbase chose to switch its EU regulatory base to Luxembourg, saying it preferred the regulation climate there to Dublin. Gemini said the same thing, favouring Malta. Both of the crypto giants had originally established their European regulatory hubs in Dublin in 2023, before Central Bank governor Gabrioel Makhlouf described cryptocurrencies as a 'Ponzi scheme'. IDA chief executive Michael Lohan said Kraken's Mica licence from the Central Bank here was important. 'This landmark moment strengthens Ireland's standing as a leading fintech hub in Europe,' he said. 'We value Kraken's ongoing investment and engagement and we look forward to further collaboration as the digital finance sector continues to grow in Ireland and across the EU.' The chair of Blockchain Ireland, Lory Kehoe, also put a positive light on the Kraken news against the background of regulatory uncertainty in recent months. 'This is a win for the Irish ecosystem,' he said. 'It strengthens Ireland's position in the EU's digital finance landscape, creates pathways for high-quality jobs and gives clarity to start-ups, institutions, and investors building in Ireland.' ADVERTISEMENT Mr Kehoe also predicted that more Mica licences would be issued by the Central Bank. A spokesperson for Kraken said that the Mica licence represented a 'pivotal milestone' for the San Francisco firm. 'Being the first major global crypto platform to receive authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) affirms Kraken's commitment to building for the long term,' said Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi. 'Over the past several years, our team has worked tirelessly to meet the CBI's gold standard regulatory expectations. This licence reflects that effort and places us in a strong position to expand our product offering, grow our institutional and retail client base and deliver secure, accessible and fully regulated crypto services to millions more people across the EU.'
