New York claim historic first Lory Meagher cup with victory over Cavan
Lory Meagher Cup final: New York 4-17 Cavan 2-17 New York used goals as their battering ram to a historic first Lory Meagher Cup title success at Croke Park. Goals from Man of the Match David Mangan, who finished with 1-7, Dara Walsh, AJ Willis and Tomas O'Connor propelled the Exiles to the landmark win. New York only returned to hurling's fifth tier last weekend, beating Monaghan at the semi-final stage, having not previously played in a Championship here since 2006. Former Galway star Jonathan Glynn scored two points, the same as he did against Monaghan, and lifted the cup as captain, roaring 'New York abu' from the steps of the Hogan Stand. The goals were the difference on the day and left Cavan with a mountain to climb after falling 11 points down early in the second-half. The Breffni took consolation from a strong finish with two final quarter goals themselves to push New York all the way. It was Cavan's first final at the grade since losing to Fermanagh in the 2021 decider. They returned to Croke Park with 11 starters from that final four years ago in their matchday squad. But while they were desperate to redeem themselves, and qualified for the final with a group game to spare, they ran into a high quality New York side.

Glynn was the big draw and while he wore number 10, the big attacker started at full-forward, pinching a 14th minute point. But it was a huge team performance overall with Adam Loughlin Stones and Galway native Mangan combining time after time. They struck eight first-half points between them while O'Connor, Willis and Walsh swooped for the goals. Portroe man Willis struck 1-8 against Monaghan and maintained his good form though Walsh's goal before half-time was the pick of the bunch with Loughlin Stones assisting. Cavan had their moments and struck neat points from Kilkenny men Canice Maher and Nicky Kenny. Free-taker Liam O'Brien fired over five first-half points. But they were overwhelmed by the scoring power of New York who continued to go for goals after the restart. Mangan hit the net from a penalty and while Conor Hammersley and Walsh were denied by goalkeeper saves, Mangan knocked over the resulting two 65s. With 20 minutes to go, New York led 4-14 to 0-15 and weren't flattered. The New York team celebrate their first Lory Meagher Cup.

New York clinch landmark Lory Meagher Cup win over Cavan
New York have capped their return to Championship hurling by clinching the Lory Meagher Cup title for the very first time.

U.S. Rep. Vasquez re-introduces immigration detention oversight bill in Congress
U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez speaks in Las Cruces following a mass shooting on March 23, 2025 in Las Cruces that left three dead and 15 injured. (Leah Romero / Source NM) Southern New Mexico's representative in the U.S. House of Representatives said Thursday he is introducing updated legislation intended to require federal immigration authorities to report their activities to Congress. U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) held a news conference on Thursday alongside two community organizations to discuss what he called the 'Humane Accountability Act 2.0,' which would require the federal Department of Homeland Security to report to Congress all immigration detentions, removals and encounters that have occurred since January. Vasquez said the new version of the bill is updated to 'reflect the times that we're in today,' specifically the U.S. government deporting people to foreign countries. He said the legislation would require DHS to report, with legal justifications, each detention, removal or transfer to 'non-traditional sites' like the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador or the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The bill also blocks surprise detentions at military bases, on tribal lands or overseas sites, requiring advanced notice with justification, including costs and care standards, he said. The legislation would also mandate DHS to report on conditions in immigration detention centers for issues such as assaults, abuse, hospitalization and death, Vasquez said, along with complaints from detained people about access to legal representation or retaliation. The congressman was joined by Lan Sena, policy director for the Center for Civic Policy, and Casey Mangan, a lawyer with the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center's detention and asylum team. Mangan said all three of New Mexico's ICE detention facilities – the Otero County Processing Center, the Cibola County Correctional Center and the Torrance County Detention Facility — are full. 'On top of worsening conditions in the facilities, we're seeing families and communities ripped apart by large-scale deportations, jamming people through the process without any due process,' he said. Vasquez said detention centers like the one in Torrance County have shown substandard care for the people they hold, 'and DHS has to be held accountable, as well as the private prison corporations that operate these centers.' 'Due process, transparency and accountability are not optional in a democracy,' Vasquez said. Vasquez said seven people have died while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since January. He said the agency is detaining more than 52,000 people, far above its 41,500-person capacity, and is on track to spend more than Congress has allowed. Mangan said not much has changed as a result of his organization's and the federal government's own documentation of abuses, neglect and deaths caused by ICE negligence in New Mexico. 'If anything, things have gotten worse,' Mangan said. 'There's a reason for that: Under current state law, these facilities operate without state oversight and functionally without any federal oversight.' Sena, the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, noted that May is Asian American, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian Heritage Month and said she is reminded of the deep history of injustices against immigrants in the U.S. 'Now, our community is facing dire threats as we are being detained without due process, nor receiving proper notification or information in their own languages, and potentially being sent to countries they have never lived in nor citizens of,' Sena said. Sena said Vasquez's legislation 'shines a light on the darkest corners of our immigration system, and demands accountability from those in power,' and urged Congress to pass it. Vasquez said he has very little faith that the Trump administration would sign the bill into law in the event Congress does pass it, but he will keep introducing it. Mangan said the bill would be an important step toward guaranteeing the due process everyone has under the U.S. constitution, including migrants. 'Now, more than ever, we need to enforce the rule of law and support the important power that Congress has to provide a check on executive power,' he said.

'Let's not turn this city into a nanny state': Restaurateur Luke Mangan fears ghost-town for vibrant CBD following Sydney Lord Mayor's event ban on Sydney parks
A restaurateur has called on Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore to stop the city from turning into a "nanny state" after the council reinstated a controversial ban on events at local parks over an extraordinary concern to protect the grass from damage. Chef Luke Mangan, who is in the process of launching a Sydney food festival later in the year, now faces challenges following the ban and claimed the city is already "struggling quite a bit". Mr Mangan told Sky News on Wednesday afternoon the Lord Mayor's ban to restrict residents from hosting events at local parks is "ludicrous", and she should be working to revive the CBD'S vibrant life that is now a "ghost town". "Covid is gone, but let's get this city happening again," he said. "It's a bit embarrassing when you walk down George Street any given night of the week and it's like a little ghost town in some parts. So we really need to open it. "Let's not turn this into a nanny state." This comes after Ms Moore's council failed to take a U-turn on the ban that has been in place for almost three years on council-run parks and struck down a proposal to open up Sydney parks to commercial events. The council attributed the reasoning behind their ban to ongoing concerns for the grass and climate change "accelerating severe weather events". "Increased rainfall in the lead-up to and during outdoor commercial events has resulted in significant damage to large sections of the parks," the notices of motion read from the council meeting. Ms Moore introduced the council-wide ban in 2022 after damage to grass at venues including Prince Alfred Park in the aftermath of events such as the Night Noodle Markets. In October 2022, council endorsed a Lord Mayoral Minute to stop all bookings in the Sydney City's public parks for any future or existing events and particularly commercial events that lasted longer than a day. Mr Mangan further argued festivals such as the Night Noodle Market is what draws residents and tourists to the CBD and supports the local economy as many would stay in hotels, visit bars and restaurants during their visit. "There's so many small businesses, restaurants, cafes, wine bars that are still struggling, and if you can get 2,000 people into a city event in a park, they're going to stay in hotels, and eat in different venues, and probably spend a few days in the city, coming up from Melbourne or down from Brisbane, wherever it may be," he said. "Let's get Sydney like it used to be. "Everyone generating business dollars but also the public having a great time and that's what this city needs. Get people out there more and enjoy it." When asked about the destruction from the Night Noodle Market three years ago, Mr Mangan it should be common sense to repair damages and ensure parks are returned to its original state after an event. "Surely the council can create a document that if you do take over a park and you damage it or create problems with it that you must repair it and fix it and let's get on with living life," he added. It is understood events such as Mardi Gras Fair Day, Yabun Festival and Pyrmont Food and Wine Festival will be exempt from the Lord Mayor's ban. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns criticised Ms Moore's vote to reinstate the ban and called for the Lord Mayor to backtrack the restriction. 'My government has made big efforts, major strides, to open up more open space in the CBD. We've caught a lot of criticism for it, particularly around Moore Park," he said. 'We're not going to continue to do those kinds of changes if, in the end, they're going to be locked up and hermetically sealed and people will be stopped from accessing open space. "The decision needs to be reversed. Sydney is not just (for) the residents if you're going to be the mayor… (you) have to think about that responsibility.'

Dan Mangan brightens up dark times with new album Natural Light
Natural Light is the seventh album by Vancouver-based musician Dan Mangan. Due out on Arts & Crafts this week, the album was recorded at Toronto producer Jason Haberman's southern Ontario cottage, dubbed Souvenir. A photo of the makeshift studio in the front room of the cabin also became the cover art. The release is the first album that Mangan and his touring band of multi-instrumentalists Haberman, Mike O'Brien and Don Kerr recorded together. The singer admits the purpose of the cabin sessions was to workshop old ideas, develop new ones and treat it all as a zero-pressure preparation for future studio sessions in Los Angeles with a different producer and backing players. It became clear during the process that something else was taking place. Get top headlines and gossip from the world of celebrity and entertainment.

In the same way that Blue Rodeo's classic Five Days in July came out of the no-pressure cabin sessions that became the title, Natural Light could have been six days in May. 'There are a lot of things in my life I feel I really worked hard and sweated for, but this was the most serendipitous, joyful and creative experience I've ever had,' said Mangan. 'Some of these songs have been ruminating for a while, getting hummed in the shower and being extremely considered down to the choices of consonants, melody, etc. But the execution of them as a recording was unplanned and barely discussed. It's just a gift.' The album opens with It Might Be Raining, a surprisingly rare reference to our frequent weather by a Vancouver artist. The casually strummed ode to navigating the 'oceans of bull s—' that we are all up against is a perfect beginning to the 13-track recording. It shimmers with an emotional intensity juxtaposed against the kind of easy-flowing instrumentation that hearkens back to gems such as Van Morrison's Astral Weeks. 'It Might Be Raining was a new song I was excited about and the first song we did three takes and — boom — locked it away,' he said. 'Suddenly, everyone is going, 'Holy crap, that went well.' And the second day we did two songs, day three was four, and so on. When you go into a major studio like The Warehouse and everything you do is bleeding money, this was the opposite. Because we thought we weren't recording a record.' Right up until the very end of the sessions, this casual approach imbued the recording and the results were something Mangan has never experienced before. By the end of the week, it was obvious they had made a record. 'Personally, emotionally, I've never experienced that kind of total detachment from any result and it was blissful,' he said. 'I think it is a high point of my whole career. Even going back and adding some horns and strings, this whole time, I've been revelling in the experience.' Orchestral contributions came from composer Jesse Zubot, who previously recorded and toured with Mangan's big band Blacksmith. These kept in the spirit of the initial sessions, as songs such as the lead single Melody and My Dreams Are Getting Weirder are all filled with a glorious vibe of open space. The latest advance track, Diminishing Returns, may be the first pop single to reference the global climate crisis. Mangan notes the irony of having the third lead-up number to a major album being titled Diminishing Returns. He sadly reflects that the refrain of 'one place underwater, another burns, no one is surprised, but everyone is shocked' came from watching news reports on a U.S. tour leg where the West Coast was on fire and the East Coast was flooded due to hurricanes. It's one of the best songs on Natural Light. 'We're all up against it, going on with our day-to-day robotic lives like it's business as usual and planning ahead, still presuming that it's all going to be here,' he said. 'Meanwhile, doomscrolling at midnight, you're asking, 'What are we up against?' I reflect on these things and the real issues that people are facing and how you can arrive somewhere positive.' A founder of the Side Door Access booking platform to improve independent musicians touring opportunities and revenue generation, he is well aware of the personal pressure to keep positive about the modern music industry. At the time of this interview, Mangan note he is still embracing the joy of creating Natural Light before the coming business of releasing records comes into play. Then, things get serious for artists facing severe fiscal challenges. 'Every day that draws closer to the actual release date and it becoming a quantifiable marketplace product, I brace for the other side of all this bliss,' he said. 'It can or can't do well, and could be a case of so many years of my life having people react with 'So, what else are you working on?' But the coming shows will be incredible, because everyone in this band makes music together so naturally and gets along so well. Our band text stream is titled FLG, for F—in' Love You Guys.' Many dates on the fall tour in support of Natural Light have been announced already, including an Oct. 3 date at the Vogue Theatre with opener Bells Larsen. The all-ages show is already sold out. sderdeyn@
