Eoin O'Malley: Down with the puritans — we should all go back to the pub
Decline in drinking could be masking other problems
It was the Irish who perfected the greatest social application in human history.
The pub may not have been an Irish invention, but without deliberate design the pub in Ireland became a place for people to meet and socialise that was so successful we exported the concept all over the world.

Irish family in desperate race to bring mum home after dream holiday turns into nightmare
A close-knit Dublin community is rallying together to help bring beloved mother and friend Joan home after she suffered a devastating cardiac arrest while on holiday in Spain. Joan, who was enjoying her first family holiday in over 20 years, is now in a medically induced coma in intensive care. What began as a long-awaited and well-deserved break has turned into every family's worst nightmare. Described by friends as 'funny, selfless, and always there when others needed her,' Joan receiving round-the-clock care in a Spanish hospital. Her condition remains critical, and her only chance of returning home to continue treatment in Ireland is via a specialised medical flight – a costly lifeline. A close-knit Dublin community is rallying together to help bring beloved mother and friend Joan home after she suffered a devastating cardiac arrest while on holiday in Spain. Pic: Shutterstock Joan's lifelong friend Debbie has launched a public appeal to raise €50,000 to fund the air ambulance and support the family. 'Doctors have told us the only safe way to bring Joan home is on a medical plane,' Debbie explained. 'But the cost is astronomical. Her travel insurance won't cover the flight unless she can walk onto a plane with a doctor, which simply isn't possible right now.' Joan's daughters, who rushed to her side, are also facing mounting expenses as they remain in Spain, including high-season accommodation costs, food, and transportation, all while being away from work and under extreme emotional strain. Despite the heartache, there's been a glimmer of hope: Joan has responded positively to heart medication, though a new infection has now delayed plans for her journey home.

'We're almost in a position to arrange the medical flight once Joan is stable enough, but the process of releasing funds is slower than we expected. We just need your prayers and positive thoughts now more than ever.' The campaign has already seen a wave of support from the Irish public, but more is needed to help cover the urgent costs and bring Joan back to the care of her loved ones at home. 'Joan would be the first to help someone in need,' Debbie added. 'Now it's her turn — and we need all the help we can get to bring her home safely.' To donate, click here.

Shane Lowry's US Open meltdown: 'F-bombs' caught on hot mic amid tough round
Shane Lowry (AP Photo) Shane Lowry's frustration boiled over at the US Open on Friday as the Irish golfer was caught on a hot mic dropping repeated F-bombs while battling the brutal Oakmont Country Club course. After missing a par putt on his fourth hole of the day, Lowry muttered "F*** this place" several times as cameras rolled, taking his score to 14 over par. The 38-year-old's outburst went viral on social media, capturing the emotion of a player worn down by a punishing layout. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It wasn't the first time Lowry's emotions got the better of him. Just a day earlier, he smacked a course microphone in frustration after failing to escape the rough on the 17th hole. A similar incident occurred last month at the PGA Championship when he slammed his club into the turf at Quail Hollow, again yelling the same phrase after a tee shot landed in a divot. Poll Do you think Shane Lowry's outbursts are a sign of frustration or passion for the game? Frustration Passion Both Neither Adding to his Oakmont woes, Lowry committed a rare mental error on Friday, picking up his ball on the 14th green without marking it — a clear violation under Rule 14.1. He was assessed a one-stroke penalty, turning a bogey into a double and finishing with a 78. "Probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done," Lowry admitted. "Maybe my mind was somewhere else." From hot mics to hot tempers, Lowry's rough US Open campaign captured the unfiltered frustration of golf at its hardest.

O'Sullivan wins prestigious title in America to emulate Olympic legend mother
Sophie O'Sullivan picked up the biggest win of her career so far as she stormed to victory in the NCAA 1,500m title at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday evening. The 23-year-old was competing in her final ever race for the University of Washington in Seattle, and having finished 12th in this event for the past two seasons, the daughter of Olympic legend Sonia O'Sullivan wasted no time in asserting her dominance. Hitting the front with two laps to go, Sophie never looked back and raced to victory on the biggest night of collegiate athletics in America. She clocked an impressive time of 4:07.94, finishing off with a stunning final lap of 58.43 to complete the famous win. With that win, O'Sullivan becomes just the fifth Irish woman in history to win an NCAA title, following in the footsteps of her mother Sonia (1990 and 1991), Valerie McGovern (1990), Mary Cullen (2006) and Rhasidat Adeleke (2023). 'Pretty f*****g happy' was her response when asked to sum up her emotions, reports the Irish Independent. 'I was just trying to hold my position on the inside lane and not let everyone box me out and trying to find a way out,' she said when asked about the race. On her future plans, O'Sullivan said: 'My visa's up so I've got to leave America soon, I'm going to fly to London and go from there. We'll see.'
