The Irish Times · Irlanda · Prensahace 3 horas

Sergio Garcia will target an 11th Ryder Cup appearance at Adare Manor in 2027 after he confirmed his intention to return to the DP World Tour. Garcia is part of a raft of players set to exit breakaway tour LIV Golf, including Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell and Tom McKibbin, and the former Masters champion announced his plans for next season in a statement on X on Thursday afternoon.

Earlier this autumn, Garcia asked a federal judge to ⁠terminate his deal with LIV Golf, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The Spaniard referenced his incident at Augusta this year, where he was issued with a code-of-conduct warning after he broke his driver on the second hold, and vowed to create new memories at the major.

Garcia, who is Team Europe’s all-time leading Ryder Cup points scorer, said: “This off season, I’m working really hard on my game and putting a…

Joanne McNally played a blinder on The Celebrity Traitors. Here are 15 of her best lines

So near, yet so far. Joanne McNally, having played a blinder throughout, has come a cropper in the penultimate episode of The Celebrity Traitors. Banished at the round table after YouTuber (and traitor) King Kenny switched his vote, the Irish comedian is no longer in the running to win money for her chosen charity in the BBC show’s endgame. But by understanding the assignment, proving excellent value for viewers and securing airtime in nine out of a maximum of 10 episodes in this ratings juggernaut, she won anyway. Along the way, she wasn’t afraid to showcase her “performative stupidity” – her self-declared strategy for survival – as she outlined a series of incorrect game theories. But on this show, being wrong can be a canny self-protection mechanism that reduces your chances of being murdered because you’re a “threat”. Cast as a faithful, the stand-up and podcaster also quickly decided that…

Fine Gael grassroots seek ardfheis motion to confirm ‘centre right’ status

A group of Fine Gael members are pushing for the party to affirm its “centre-right” status in an effort to distinguish it from what one describes as the “woke left”. A draft motion has gained support from some branches and constituencies, and has been submitted to headquarters for consideration for inclusion on the agenda for the Fine Gael Ardfheis being held on November 7th and 8th. It asks the assembly to affirm Fine Gael as a “centre-right party, in the European Christian Democratic tradition”. A document urging support for the motion, which has been circulated among members, argues that occupying the centre right is a “bulwark against the far right and populism”. The motion is understood to have been authored at grassroots level and signed by councillors, as well as being approved by several branches and constituency organisations. The group of members which has been seeking support from the party’s…

Rank-and-file gardaí to engage in work-to-rule during EU presidency meetings next month

Rank-and-file gardaí are to engage in a work-to-rule action for five days next month during EU presidency meetings. Following a meeting of the Garda Representative Association’s (GRA) central executive committee on Thursday, members were told they would be moving to a work-to-rule position on November 10th-14th. The action will coincide with the European Political Community meeting in Dublin on November 12th, as well as an informal meeting of the EU heads of state or government the following day. GRA general secretary Ronan Slevin said further action was possible as it was “clear that our members’ working terms and conditions, including subsistence and travel entitlements, are being deliberately eroded”.“The GRA’s executive will now meet on Monday morning, accompanied by their legal counsel, to discuss this position and further accelerated actions right up to and including a withdrawal of services,” he told members. Meanwhile, in a statement issued by Garda headquarters on…
