Kevin covers a range of stories from Ireland, beginning with a proposed bill to rename Dublin Airport after former Taoiseach Seán Lemass, and the mixed political reaction to the idea. He reports on the death of noted Irish fashion designer Paul Costelloe, remembered for his long collaboration with Princess Diana, and reflects on the remarkable life of Donegal‑born Dave Gallaher, early All Blacks captain, honoured in his hometown. Other stories include a new cross‑border university partnership between Queen’s University Belfast and Dundalk Institute of Technology, HP’s announcement of thousands of global job cuts due to AI restructuring, and a memorial planting of a Sycamore Gap sapling in Strabane. Kevin also highlights a disturbing arson attack on a woman in Dublin, the rollout of body‑worn cameras for hospital staff in Derry amid rising violence, and the debate over removing or re‑imagining paramilitary murals on Housing Executive property. Finally, he notes Belfast’s upcoming role in the Euro 2028 qualifying draw and winter weather warnings across Ireland.
