McIlroy’s 2025 Season: What Could Surpass His Masters Triumph?

Even after the incredible drama of his career Grand Slam-completing Masters victory, Rory McIlroy's 2025 golf season still holds numerous possibilities that could potentially match that memorable achievement. McIlroy is scheduled to return to competition next week in New Orleans, where he and close friend Shane Lowry will defend their Zurich Classic title, an event that doesn't award world ranking points. The Northern Irishman's Augusta triumph significantly reduced Scottie Scheffler's world rankings lead from 4.18 to 2.81 points, though the world number one still maintains a comfortable advantage. The duo has established a considerable gap ahead of third-ranked Xander Schauffele, the reigning Open and US PGA champion, who trails McIlroy by 3.76 points. With McIlroy skipping this week's RBC Heritage in South Carolina, Scheffler, who finished just three strokes behind in fourth place at Augusta despite not being in serious […]

ECJ Advisor: Ireland Must Accommodate All Asylum Seekers Despite Housing Crisis

An advisor to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has issued a legal opinion stating that Ireland cannot use housing shortages as a justification for failing to accommodate single male asylum seekers. The opinion, published Thursday by the Luxembourg-based court, indicates that Ireland "cannot use force majeure to justify failure to provide basic needs for international protection applicants." It further states that even during "a large influx of people" applying for asylum, "member states cannot invoke force majeure to avoid responsibility for providing adequate reception conditions or compensating for harm caused." This development challenges a key argument used by the Irish government in an ongoing legal dispute. The Department of Children is currently appealing a High Court ruling from August that found the state in breach of fundamental rights by failing to provide accommodation to single male asylum seekers. The […]

Irish Payroll Manager Avoids Court Punishment After Spying for Rival and Destroying Evidence

A Dublin payroll manager who admitted to spying on his employer for a competitor has escaped court sanctions despite deliberately destroying evidence he was ordered to preserve by the High Court. Keith O'Brien faced potential jail time for contempt after admitting he destroyed a phone with an axe and disposed of it in a drain at his mother-in-law's house, directly violating court orders. Rippling, a US-headquartered multibillion-dollar HR software provider, initiated High Court proceedings against their former employee last month, alleging he passed trade secrets to rival company Deel while working at Rippling's Temple Bar office. In Thursday's hearing, Mr. Justice Mark Sanfey determined there was "no purpose served" by punishing O'Brien, despite acknowledging his actions were "blatantly" in contravention of court orders and had "done damage" to the litigation. The judge noted that after receiving legal advice, O'Brien began […]
