"It was a pleasure to meet John and Matt at Kilbush Nurseries in Rush,' he said.
'Seeing firsthand how the local environment contributes to the unique sweetness of their tomatoes was fascinating.
'Their commitment to growing the highest quality, seasonal produce, from planting in January to daily harvesting, truly showcases the passion that goes into every M&S tomato,' he added.

UK sanctions 135 oil tankers in Russia's shadow fleet
The UK has placed sanctions on 135 oil tankers in Russia's shadow fleet in a bid to disrupt the flow of money helping Moscow fund the war in Ukraine. A shipping services company and an oil trading firm were also targeted as part of the crackdown on a fleet "responsible for illicitly carrying $24 billion (€21bn) worth of cargo since the start of 2024," the British foreign ministry said in a statement. Security analysts say the fleet of ageing vessels is used by Russia to circumvent international sanctions that ban it from selling oil. Hundreds of vessels have now been sanctioned by the European Union and the UK since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. "New sanctions will further dismantle Putin's shadow fleet and drain Russia's war chest of its critical oil revenues," UK foreign minister David Lammy said. The action came days after "the UK and EU lowered the crude oil price cap further disrupting the flow of oil money into Putin's war chest," the ministry statement added. London also sanctioned Intershipping Services LLC, a company accused of "registering shadow fleet vessels under the banner of the Gabonese flag" and Litasco Middle East DMCC, linked to Russian oil company Lukoil, "for its ongoing role in moving large volumes of Russian oil on shadow fleet vessels". "As Putin continues to stall and delay on serious peace talks, we will not stand idly by," Mr Lammy said. "We will continue to use the full might of our sanctions regime to ratchet up economic pressure at every turn." Earlier, the UK called for a 50-day drive to arm Ukraine after US President Donald Trump gave Moscow 50 days to strike a peace deal with Kyiv.

Tesco invests in Irish operations with €5m facelift of Co. Mayo store
TESCO has invested €5m in its Irish operations with the complete refurbishment of a store in Co. Mayo. Over the past 10 months, the store in Ballina has undergone a major transformation, the British supermarket chain confirmed this week. The store in Market Square, which has been open while the works were underway, now boasts self-service checkouts, a deposit return machine, in-store bakery, and an off-licence. New perimeter paving, ramp access, handrails, and barrier protection have also been added, while customers can also now find a wide selection of Mayo-based brands on its shelves, including Connacht Milk, Western Brand Group, O'Hara's of Foxford, MMM Family Bakery, Hanley Catering and Westport-based Cabots foods. 'The store has undergone a huge change with upgrades to every aspect of the shop including shelving, lighting, fridges, floor design, as well as a new entrance porch and new look façade to the building,' store manager Séamus McGowan said this week. 'New lighting and heating were also installed as well as a new fully insulated solar roof, which will make the store much more energy efficient,' he added. Speaking at the official reopening of the store, Mayo TD and Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary said: 'I'm thrilled to see the transformation of Tesco Ballina, into a truly modern store, which the people of the town and surrounding areas can enjoy for many years to come.' He added: 'Tesco has always played a big part in the community here in Ballina and I look forward to many more years of engagement with the retailer.' Tesco Ireland CEO Geoff Byrne says he's delighted with the newly renovated store. 'This newly revamped store marks a significant milestone for Tesco as we celebrate more than 27 years of a presence in the region,' he said. 'We're proud to be part of the local community in Ballina and we are passionate about supporting brilliant local producers and helping to promote local businesses across County Mayo.'

Irish M&A activity up 4% in first half of 2025 despite global challenges
Irish merger and acquisition (M&A) activity has remained durable despite global challenges, a new report from law firm William Fry has found, with a total of 236 deals being announced in the first six months of 2025. It marks a 4% rise in transaction volume compared to the same period in 2024, while total deal value fell to €8.8bn, which reflected a more than 50% decline year-on-year. The law firm said this was underpinned by a slowdown in large-cap and transformational transactions. However, the volume growth signals continued appetite for strategic acquisitions and investments in the Irish market, William Fry said. Mid-market size deals continue to dominate, with 88% of disclosed deal values ranging between €5m and €250m, the report found. Meanwhile, transformational deals, which are deals valued at more than €500m, matched figures from the first half of 2024. The largest deal of the period was the €1.9bn acquisition of Nordic Aviation Capital A/S by Dubai Aerospace Enterprise Ltd, a subsidiary of the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD). Some 63% of Irish deals involved overseas bidders, up from 57% in the first half of 2024, with strong activity from the US, UK and Norway. Meanwhile, private equity accounted for 24% of Irish deals, with deal volume up 39% year-on-year. However, the aggregate value of those deals fell by 71%. The first quarter of 2025 showed to be particularly strong, with 138 deals worth €6.3bn. This represented a 30% growth in volume and 48% in value compared to the first three months of 2024. Inbound M&A activity continues to dominate, accounting for 63% of all Irish deals in the first half of 2025, up from 57% in the same period last year. A total of 148 inward investment transactions were announced, including 83 in the first quarter alone, the highest quarterly total in five years. Overseas bidders led 15 of the top 20 deals, with strong participation from the traditional jurisdictions of US and UK as well as Norway, which was involved in two of the largest transactions, the report said. Private equity firms announced 57 deals in the first half of 2025, a 39% year-on-year increase in volume, though overall deal value fell to €4.2bn, down from €14.6bn in the same period in 2024, which was bolstered by megadeals such as Apollo's investment in Intel's Fab 34. 'Irish M&A activity remains resilient despite global challenges, with a modest increase in deal volume in the first half of 2025," said Andrew McIntyre, Head of Corporate/M&A at William Fry. "While deal values moderated due to fewer large transactions, the data highlights the strength of Irish assets. International interest is strong, and private equity is showing renewed momentum in the mid-market. Overall, these trends suggest Ireland is well-positioned for continued deal making in the second half.' Looking ahead, Mr McIntyre said there was a "cautious optimism" for continued M&A activity, supported by projected GDP growth, ECB rate cuts, and momentum in key sectors like renewables and digital transformation. "Ireland's new FDI screening regime has had minimal impact so far on inbound M&A," he added. "However, geopolitical risks - especially in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the US -remain elevated.'
