Limerick Housing Boom and Affordability | Ireland News

Limerick’s housing market is heating up—with 1,084 new residential buildings underway as of June 2026, outpacing national trends. While the city’s 3.6% vacancy rate is just slightly below the national 3.7%, demand still far outstrips supply, pushing prices higher. Homes in Limerick average €336,420—significantly below the national average of €437,631—making it more affordable, but builders warn that unless construction keeps accelerating, prices will keep climbing and shortages will persist.

Wildfires Rage Across Ireland's Mountains | Ireland News

Emergency crews are racing to contain a wildfire in the Comeragh Mountains, with thick smoke visible across the region and a Coast Guard helicopter on standby. This follows a devastating week of fires across Kerry, Dublin, and Slievenamon — even sending smoke to Waterford. Mountaineering Ireland honors the brave firefighters battling these blazes in perilous conditions, warning that Ireland’s still-dry landscape makes wildfires a serious, ongoing threat. A single spark — from a cigarette, campfire, or BBQ — could ignite disaster. Stay alert: no open flames, keep emergency routes clear, and call 999 or 112 if you spot a fire.

South East Left Out in Infrastructure Push | Ireland News

Sinn Féin TD David Cullinane is furious the government ignored the South East in its first wave of accelerated infrastructure projects — despite the region’s urgent needs, growing population, and critical gaps in transport, education, and utilities. He demands action on rail upgrades, BusConnects, a new medical school at South East Tech, road safety, and water systems — calling the omission a betrayal that treats the region as an afterthought. With more projects on the horizon, Cullinane insists the South East deserves equal ambition and investment to thrive.

Prankster’s Secret Filming and Gambling Scandal | Ireland News

A Cork student prankster known as Rendy Vlad is sparking outrage after using smart glasses to secretly film unsuspecting people in public, amassing a viral following on TikTok. His stunts—ranging from staged arguments with staff to tricking vulnerable individuals—raise serious privacy concerns, especially as the glasses have been flagged by data regulators for lacking clear recording indicators. Compounding the issue, Rendy and a fellow prankster are promoting an unlicensed gambling site, Rainbet, through affiliate links, putting users at risk of financial and personal data loss. Ireland’s Gambling Regulatory Authority warns that promoting unlicensed gambling is illegal and can lead to jail time. The university where Rendy studies has acknowledged the controversy and is investigating in line with its policies.

Lunch War Led to Murder Verdict | Ireland News

A murder trial in Cork hit a bizarre snag when accused Daniel Hourigan refused to return to court, claiming prison food—chicken goujons and chips—was “unpalatable and insufficient,” making it hard to concentrate. The judge sympathized but reminded everyone no one’s entitled to gourmet meals; thankfully, a chicken curry the next day won him over. Meanwhile, co-accused Linda O’Flynn, initially charged with murder, threw a Coke at Hourigan during a tense trial before accepting a lesser charge of covering up the crime, receiving seven and a half years. As O’Flynn’s case was resolved, Hourigan’s trial continued, with damning evidence including a witness report of shouting, stab wounds, and a palm print. His story shifted from denial to blaming O’Flynn, even revealing the murder wasn’t premeditated. The jury found him guilty, sentencing him to a mandatory life term—where his future meals may be predictable, if not particularly delicious.
