Munster needed a win at Vicarage Road to keep control of their Heineken Cup destiny. Catch up with this afternoon’s action in our minute-by-minute report.
Thirty years after losing to the same opposition in the final, the north Dublin club win their first ever provincial crown after physically and tactically dominating the Laois side for three-quarters of the game. We had all the action and analysis right here.
Chelsea and Arsenal were just two of the sides in action on a busy day in the Premier League, while in-form Norwich had a tough assignment away at the Liberty Stadium.
Led by Brian Looney and Johnny Buckley, the Kerry champions were mesmerising as they tore apart the opposition on the way to retaining their provincial title, and laid down a serious All Ireland marker in the process. We had all the action and analysis from down south right here.
A MOTION OF no confidence in the Minister for Justice will be debated in the Dáil next week with Fianna Fáil claiming Alan Shatter’s position is now “untenable”.
The opposition party has been fiercely critical of the Fine Gael deputy’s handling of an ongoing row with Independent TD Mick Wallace.
“The Minister has shown extremely poor judgement of late. In particular, he used private information he received from the Garda Commissioner to undermine an opposition TD on Prime Time last week,” Niall Collins charged.
Shatter is currently facing two investigations by the Data Protection Commissioner and the Standards in Public Office Commission over his actions. He was also forced to clarify the nature of an incident where he was breathalysed by gardaí but could not complete the test because of asthma.
Although the motion of no confidence is unlikely to pass (as the government can table a counter-motion), TheJournal.ie wants to know what you think. Is Alan Shatter’s position as minister untenable?
