The Irish Times · Irlanda · Prensahace 3 horas

Hockey Ireland is on the hunt for a new senior men’s head coach after Mark Tumilty’s decision to step down from the role. The former Irish international was appointed in 2019 on a short-term basis but his position was made permanent the following year.

Tumilty led the team to a 10th-place finish at the World Cup in August, Ireland’s highest ever placing in the tournament. However, Hockey Ireland confirmed he has now decided to “take a break from the demands of international coaching”.“We respect his decision and wish to express our sincere appreciation for his leadership, dedication and contribution to the development of the senior men’s team,” Hockey Ireland added.

A formal recruitment process to select Tumilty’s successor will start next week, aiming to make an appointment by the end of December. Neville Rothman, Tumilty’s assistant coach, will take over in an interim capacity.“Coaching Ireland has been a tremendous honour…

Minister for Finance has put PTSB board in ‘straitjacket’, says minority shareholder

Minister for Finance Simon Harris “unequivocally” controls PTSB and has put the bank’s board “in a straitjacket”, a minority shareholder who is fighting to stop the bank’s acquisition by Austrian lender Bawag, has told the High Court. The Tánaiste and Fine Gael leader, who currently holds a 57.5 per cent stake in PTSB, has benefited from “special, incredible rights” since the State paid €4 billion in 2011 to acquire a 99.2 per cent stake in the bank, “disapplying any rule of law imaginable” in the process, Piotr Skocyzylas told Judge Michael Quinn. PTSB’s “board cannot move a muscle unless the Minister approves it”, Skocyzylas told the court, although “he has graciously allowed day-to-day control” to be operated by the bank’s executives. Skocyzylas is one of four PTSB shareholders – who the court heard own a combined 0.00287 per cent share of the bank – objecting to a “scheme of arrangement”…

Key candidates to replace ECB president Christine Lagarde

Candidates to replace European Central Bank (ECB) president Christine Lagarde have been positioning for months but ‌Lagarde’s resignation on Thursday kick-starts a formal selection process that is expected to wrap up in the coming weeks. The following are key candidates for the ECB presidency. Klaas Knot: A trained monetary economist, Knot (59) served two ‌full terms as the head of the Dutch central bank from 2011 to 2025 and has spent most of his time since then in an advisory role or campaigning for the ECB presidency. His 14 years on the ECB’s rate-setting governing council can be characterised by two distinct periods: increasingly open hostility to then ECB president Mario Draghi’s stimulus measures and perfect harmony with Christine Lagarde, who succeeded Draghi in 2019. Considered a pragmatic policy hawk, Knot joined in a period of upheaval as the euro zone suffered a series of financial and debt crises that…

Russell Brand’s wife has told a court that they previously split up over his promiscuity but that he was a “wonderful father” and an “amazingly attentive husband”. Giving evidence at her husband’s rape trial, Laura Brand (39), said they fell in love after meeting in 2006 but that the comedian found monogamy difficult.“I wasn’t interested in having a relationship with him if he was sleeping with other people,” she said.

Oisin Murphy snapped up for retained role with Bond Thoroughbred

Oisin Murphy can help take Bond Thoroughbred’s black and yellow silks to the next level, Charlie Bond has said, predicting 2027 could be a huge year for the operation. The former champion jockey (31) has signed a retained deal with the rapidly-expanding operation, starting next year, and will partner the best of their runners across Ireland, the UK and France, where possible. The news comes after Murphy and Qatar Racing announced the end of their long-standing partnership owing to the reduction in the number of their horses training in the UK. Bond, meanwhile, are moving in the opposite direction, with Charlie Bond – chief executive of Bond International tyre group – overseeing a huge increase in spending in 2026. With the Bond Thoroughbred operation spending big at the yearling sales this autumn, 2027 could be a breakthrough year for the black and yellow silks first made famous by Charlie’s late…
