"We had a chance to hear stories from the NHS and other local groups such as Bluevale. "We also had a nice networking lunch, a chance for people to connect and we took them for a ride on the new cycling routes around North Glasgow. "It gave people a chance to see the work the council has been doing to make cycling safer. "We also went on a short health walk around Robroyston Park, which is a really nice nature reserve."

Suzanne Forup, Cycling UK's head of behaviour change and development in Scotland, said: 'Across Glasgow, we're seeing how access to bikes and local support can change lives. "Whether it's a nurse getting their bike fixed at work, or a parent finding the confidence to cycle with their kids, our programmes are helping people travel more actively, affordably and sustainably. "This event in Glasgow is a brilliant example of how walking, wheeling and cycling can bring communities together and make a real difference.'

Usman ‘For Sure' Gets The Next Title Shot?!?!?
He's back! Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman completely dominated Joaquin Buckley, winning a unanimous decision in the main event of UFC Atlanta last night (Sat., June 14, 2025) from inside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Advertisement Before the fight, Usman suggested and planted a seed that a matchup with former Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev would be a 'blockbuster' event. Following his dominant performance, he's doubling down, arguing his win warrants a title shot. 'Let's be honest, I'm the biggest name in the division, and this is about entertainment- the UFC is an entertainment company,' Usman told reporters during the UFC Atlanta post-fight press conference (watch here). 'If you want to make the biggest fight, it's going to be [me] vs. the winner of JDM and Islam. If Islam pulls that one out, former pound-for-pound vs. current pound-for-pound, who doesn't pay for that?' A reporter straight up asked him if his win over Buckley earned him an immediate title shot. 'Oh yeah, for sure,' Usman said. 'I mean, you don't feel like that? Who else?' Advertisement While 'The Nigerian Nightmare' makes a strong case, and the UFC often favors former champions for title shots, other welterweight contenders, like Shavkat Rakhmonov and Sean Brady, are equally deserving. He was asked about a potential fight with Belal Muhammad because of their bad blood, and he didn't even acknowledge him, and seemed not to 'Remember the Name.'

Meath v Cork LIVE score updates from All-Ireland football series clash
Hello and welcome to our coverage of this first round All-Ireland encounter between Meath and Cork, which takes place in Navan this afternoon. The game is NOT on television or on GAA+, and isn't available to view anywhere, but we'll keep you up to date with minute by minute posts, featuring all the scores and every major incident as the game unfolds. Cork have four wins out of six group games in the last two years of the All-Ireland series - and they'll be buoyed by their display against Kerry in the Munster semi-final, when they took them to extra-time. Sean Brady was red carded in that game for a tackle that was barely a foul and even more ridiculously, the Cork defender lost his case at hearing, so he is out of this one. The biggest factor here though is how bad Meath's hangover will be from missing out on a massive chance to win a first Leinster title in 15 years when they were edged out by Louth in the decider a fortnight ago. A fresh injury for Ronan Jones is a blow. Jordan Morris may be able to play a bigger role here after his speedy comeback from injury, and a likely Sean Rafferty/Chris Og Jones battle will be key. But none of this will matter if Meath's heads aren't there and the work rate drops. Cork will sense an opportunity here and with their power, pace and athleticism they should really test Meath's mettle and hunger for the fight. It's a huge game for both sides in a group that also features Kerry and Roscommon.

Appreciation: Sr Eileen Brady
Sr Eileen Blathnaid Brady, who died on April 21st, was born in Dublin in 1934 to Sean Brady and Máire Ní Ghuairim. Mr Brady was a Fianna Fáil TD for 38 years in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown constituency. Ms Ni Ghuairim was an Irish teacher, writer, broadcaster and sean-nós singer. The family lived in Ranelagh and Sr Brady attended The Convent of the Sacred Heart, Leeson Street where her devotion to the Sacred Heart began. In 1953, Sr Brady entered the religious life at Mount Anville. She then trained as a teacher in the Froebel College, Sion Hill. In 1961, she made her final vows as a religious of the Sacred Heart. She taught in many schools; Craiglockhart School Scotland, Mt Anville, Armagh, Monkstown and Roscrea. Sr Brady was a gifted teacher greatly admired by her pupils; one of them said of her 'so dignified, serene, so genuine'. Her influence was a significant one in the formative years of young pupils. High principles and independence were the hallmarks of her family. In fact, her father was the only TD who suggested listening to the advice of the celebrated Irish-born US priest Fr Edward J Flanagan, who founded the Boys Town Home of Boys in Nebraska in 1917 on the organisation of the Industrial Schools in Ireland. All the other TDs rejected his criticism. Sr Brady was deeply contemplative and vigorously apostolic. Her classes were creative, introducing pupils to drama, music, nature studies, according to their level. Character formation was done with kindness and a warm heart. READ MORE After many years of teaching, Sr Brady was seconded to the diocese of Killaloe to work with the travelling community . A special interest and love of the community resulted in friends all over Ireland. During her retirement, Sr Brady began working in the Provincial Archives in 1994. She set up a much-appreciated professional research centre in Mt Anville House that can be accessed by academics, journalists, past pupils and others. It is a great historical asset. In 2022, the vast and meticulous research on the history of the Leeson Street Convent 1875-1967 was published by Sr Brady and edited by Máire Ní Chearbhaill. It was entitled The History of Two Dublin Georgian Houses 1750-1967. It is an account of the amazing work that was done for all social classes in an impoverished Ireland of the 19th and 20th centuries. Convent life went through many changes from the 1950s to the present day and Sr Brady adjusted well to the new styles of life. Wherever she lived she always created a homely atmosphere and accepted the vicissitudes of life. Sr Brady died at the age of 90 on April 21st, 2025. It was a privilege to know a person so loyal and kind to others. during a long and humble life. 'But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me, as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life....' George Eliot. – Joan Hutchinson

Sean Brady won't wait for UFC title shot, says Ian Machado Garry fight to make
Sean Brady won't wait for UFC title shot, says Ian Machado Garry fight to make Sean Brady is honest about where he stands in the UFC welterweight title picture. Although Brady (18-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) had earned the No. 1 spot in the rankings with a dominant submission of former champion Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night 255, he knows he'll need at least one more win before getting his title shot – especially after Jack Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) dethroned Belal Muhammad (24-4 MMA, 15-4 UFC) to become champion in Saturday's UFC 315 headliner in Montreal. "I knew if Jack won that I'd be fighting again, which I'm fine with," Brady said on "The Ariel Helwani Show." "Of course I want the title shot, but there's still Shavkat (Rakhmonov) there, there's Islam (Makhachev) saying he's moving up. You have Kamaru (Usman) and (Joaquin) Buckley saying whoever wins that's getting a title shot. So, we're all going to have to fight." Brady has turned his attention to Ian Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who weighed in as the backup for the title fight between Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena. "I'm going to have to fight Ian Garry eventually," Brady said. "Why not just do it now and just get it out of the way? If I'm as good as I think I am. I would fight Shavkat for the No. 1 contender, but he made a tweet with a surgeon next to him, so no one knows. He says he's coming back in October. That really means he's probably coming back the end of the year or even next year. "Me and Ian had a little interaction at the fight. He was at the end of the isle, I was at the beginning, and he was like asking me what I thought from across the way. I was like, 'Me and you, that's what I think. I think me and you are going to have to fight now because we can't all wait around for a title shot.'"
