Late Cahill try secures back-to-back Women's AIL titles for UL Bohemians
Energia Women's All Ireland League final: Railway Union 24 UL Bohemian 29 UL Bohemian retained their Energia Women's All Ireland League title in dramatic fashion with a late, late try from Eilis Cahill to edge out Railway Union for the second year in a row in Dublin on Sunday. In a repeat of the previous year's final, the Limerick club coached by Fiona Hayes came up with the big plays when they mattered most and having trailed 24-22 with the clock past 80 minutes, they won a scrum penalty 10 metres from their own tryline and worked the ball upfield for Cahill to score the winner from close range to break the Dubliner's hearts yet again. Bohs had won the 2024 clash 48-38 and just as last year's final had been on a knife-edge with Bohs leading 22-21, the Limerick side edged the opening period as the 2025 decider followed a similar pattern. Railway, though, will be regretting not making the most of some relentless early pressure inside the champions' 22 until the 17th minute, when right wing Laura Sheehan finally broke through to open the scoring. After so much possession to earn their first five points, their hard-earned lead was coughed up all too quickly for their liking, as UL Bohs eked a scrum from their first incursion into the opposition 22. That was converted to a penalty at the set-piece and laid the foundation for a reply, though not before Railway try-scorer Sheehan had rescued her side with an intercept five metres from her own line, denying Chisom Ugwuero a first opportunity to add to her hat-trick of 12 months earlier. UL Bohs would not be denied though, Laoise McGonagle levelling ]on 25 minutes after Railway failed to break out of their own half, with Kate Flannery's conversion pushing the defending champions into 7-5 lead. Back came Railway, former Ireland international Lindsay Peat claiming a try for the second year in a row from No.8, finishing from short-range to give her club a 10-7 lead. Yet UL Bohs finished the first 40 minutes on top as Ugwuero finally made it onto the scoresheet four minutes before the break. Flanker Rachel Allen had made a strong break towards the posts and when her fellow forwards were thwarted there, the ball was moved left, finding Ugwuero on the edge with the wing needing to beat three RU defenders to score in the corner. It was a fine finish and enough to send UL Bohs into the break with a 12-10 lead. The half-time leaders maintained their momentum into th second half, McMonagle finding a gap in midfield to send full-back Abby Moyle on her way with a big carry to the Railway Union line, though from there the ball was recycled and lost forward short of the tryline. Bohs had lost McMonagle to a serious leg injury in the move, the wing leaving the field on a stretcher cart following lengthy treatment. Yet her team-mates did not miss a beat, mauling from a close-range lineout soon after with captain Chloe Pearse grounding the ball to open up a 17-10 lead after 43 minutes. The advantage was short-lived, though, as Railway Union met fire with fire and used their own driving maul to earn a penalty try just three minutes later, leaving the scores level at 17 apiece, with UL Bohs centre Eabha Nic Donnacha earning a yellow card for the collapsed drive. Bohs survived the 10-minute sin-bin without concession but their resistance to another long period of pressure from Railway eventually wilted on 63 minutes when replacement front-rower Katie O'Dwyer touched down, full-back Caoimhe McCormack's conversion hading her side a 24-17 lead with just over a quarter of an hour to play. Last year's final suggested this would not be the end of the contest and so it proved as Bohs promptly went up the other end and scored through replacement Grainne Burke, though Flannery's conversion was missed, leaving Railway with a two-point lead at 24-22. Bohs were running out of time and Railway managed the endgame exceptionally well to camp in their opponents half but a scrum penalty won inside their own 22 gave hope with two minutes remaining, the Limerick side getting the ball from edge to edge where Ugwuero carried over halfway. A trademark Flannery Crossfield kick to the right wing found replacement Clara Bennett and Bohs worked the ball back across the width once more with Ugwuero tackled 15 minutes out and earning a penalty at the subsequent ruck. Bohs tapped it and reached the try line with the clock past 81 minutes and after two one-out carries, prop Eilis Cahill grabbed the winning try. Flannery's conversion with the last kick of the game sealed a distraught Railway Union side's fate as UL Bohemian celebrated back-to-back final victories.

O'Neill ‘did not see ex-press officer McMonagle at Stormont event'
Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill did not see a former Sinn Fein press officer who was facing sex charges when they both appeared at an event in Stormont in 2023, a report has found. The independent Assembly Commissioner for Standards, Dr Melissa McCullough, has found that Ms O'Neill did not breach the Ministerial Code of Conduct. The Committee on Standards and Privileges has published the commissioner's report into two complaints made against Ms O'Neill last year. Former Sinn Fein press officer Michael McMonagle was suspended by the party after he was arrested in 2021. He went on to work for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) in 2022. McMonagle, from Limewood Street in Londonderry, was jailed last year after being found guilty of a series of offences, including attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity. Two other Sinn Fein press officers, Sean Mag Uidhir and Caolan McGinley, resigned from the party after it began disciplinary proceedings against them after providing references for McMonagle. One complaint against Ms O'Neill came from TUV MLA Timothy Gaston who said she had breached the ministerial code by telling the Executive Office committee she had not known about the whereabouts of McMonagle after his suspension from Sinn Fein in 2021, but she was pictured standing yards from him at a Stormont event in February 2023. A separate complaint from Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie claimed she had breached the code by stating that her account that she only became aware of references provided by Mag Uidhir and McGinley for McMonagle the day before the story broke in the media was 'not credible'. The First Minister co-operated with the commissioner investigation. She did not take up the opportunity to make a written or oral response to the committee after the report was passed on to it. The commissioner established Ms O'Neill had had no contact with McMonagle since before his suspension from Sinn Fein in August 2021. She also said: 'First Minister O'Neill did not see Mr McMonagle in Parliament Buildings on February 14 2023 and had no interaction with him on that day.' She added: 'While the photograph may lead some to believe that the First Minister must have seen Mr McMonagle due to their proximity, both she and Mr McMonagle have affirmed that there was no interaction between them. 'What the photograph does not convey is that the Great Hall was quite busy on that day, as the Assembly had been recalled to discuss the organ donation legislation.' The commissioner also found that Mr McGinley and Mr Mag Uidhir did not notify anyone in Sinn Fein that they had provided references for McMonagle. She said a former Sinn Fein HR director had engaged in email discussion in August 2023 with the BHF regarding the references provided to them. His report said: 'The Sinn Fein HR director did not notify First Minister O'Neill, or anyone in the party, about the email correspondence from the BHF in relation to its queries about the reference providers. 'First Minister O'Neill became aware of the references provided by Mr McGinley and Mr Mag Uidhir on September 25 2024.' The chairperson of the Committee on Standards and Privileges, Cathy Mason, said: 'While the current procedures do not provide the committee with an adjudication role in relation to complaints against ministers, by publishing this report, the committee has fulfilled its function in relation to considering and publishing all investigation reports by the Commissioner. 'The committee's report includes the commissioner's investigation report, which sets out the factual findings, analysis and reasoning from her investigation of the complaints. 'The committee notes that the commissioner has concluded from the evidence gathered and analysed that the First Minister has not breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct.'

Hazleton homicide trial continued due to alleged witness interference
Mar. 10—WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough continued the Hazleton homicide trial of Frangel Garcia Andujar due to a recently launched investigation of alleged intimidation of witnesses. During an emergency motion's hearing Monday, Assistant District Attorney James L. McMonagle requested Andujar's trial be postponed as translation of approximately 140 jailhouse phone calls need to be reviewed. McMonagle said there is a strong belief Andujar, 23, called witnesses in the case and had his girlfriend contact witnesses. Several phone calls Andujar made from the county correctional facility have been translated from Spanish to English but McMonagle said there are many more calls that need to be transcribed. McMonagle said MAGLOCLEN (Middle Atlantic-Great Lakes Organized Crime Law Enforcement Network) is assisting in the translation of Andujar's phone calls. Andujar's attorneys, Lawrence Kansky and James J. Scanlon, opposed a continuance of the trial, which was scheduled to begin March 24. "We have been prepared for trial and oppose any continuance," Kansky said. Vough granted McMonagle's request to continue Andujar's trial until June. McMonagle said there remains the possibility Andujar and others may be charged with intimidation of witnesses depending on a review of Andujar's recorded phone calls. Hazleton police and county detectives charged Andujar with fatally shooting Stanley Jimson, 17, and injuring four others during a party at a house on South Wyoming Street on March 6, 2022. The case has involved contentious court proceedings, including Andujar's preliminary hearing held in May 2022, when two people were ejected from the courtroom, a witness calling an attorney "stupid," a perceived threat toward a witness, and another witness allegedly displaying gang signs from the witness stand. Andujar remains jailed without bail on charges of criminal homicide, criminal attempt to commit criminal homicide, eight counts of aggravated assault and four counts of reckless endangerment. As Andujar's trial was continued at the request of prosecutors, Kansky and Scanlon have the option to file a motion to dismiss the entire homicide case under Pennsylvania's speedy trial rule.
