"body": "On This Week: Irish moments from history (May 25th - 31st)\n\nWelcome to On This Week, where we delve into the standout stories from the years gone by, featuring standout news stories, sporting events, and pop culture highlights that helped shape Irish life. Here's your dose of Irish history from May 25th - 31st.\n\nThis week in Irish life and news 1971: Pocket-sized Gaeltachts in County Cork\n\nIn this 'Féach' report, Breandán Ó hEithir visited the Cúil Aodha and Baile Bhuirne Gaeltachts in the west of the Muskerry Gaeltacht region, County Cork. These pocket-sized Gaeltachts could easily be be forgotten or dismissed as semi-Gaeltachts, without insider identity and external encouragement. But the Baile Bhuirne Festival and the Cúil Aodha Gathering planned to make a public declaration of the identity of the area.\n\nThe report said that Cúil Aodha might be small, but it had its own school and strongly maintained household traditions.\n\nRecognition was also given to the composer and arranger of Irish traditional music Seán Ó Riada, who moved to the region in 1963. His presence and work were important aspects of the community. Cór Chuil Aodha (Coolea Choir) and the Mass in Irish have found national fame. During this clip Ó Riada plays the traditional air 'Aisling Gheal' ('Bright Vision') on the piano.\n\nThis Breandán Ó hEithir report for Féach was broadcast on 31 May 1971.\n\n1984: Staff protest University College Galway's honouring of Ronald Reagan\n\nWhen it was announced on this week in 1984 that President Ronald Reagan would be given an honorary doctorate by University Colleage Galway on his visit, not everyone in the college was pleased. On May 28th, Dr Richard Gault, University College Galway UCG, spoke to RTÉ News about his opposition to the conferring. Dr Gault felt that the conferring sent out a negative impression that staff at the university supported President Reagan and his policies. He argued that this is very much not the case and said that less than half of the academic staff would attend the conferring, thereby making a stand against President Reagan and his policies.\n\nDr Richard Gault also mentioned Bishop Eamon Casey and Michael D Higgins as keen opponents of Reagan's activities in Central America. He saw President Reagan's visit to Ireland as an opportunistic attempt to rally electoral support from the Irish in America.\n\nUCG student Gerald Lenihan supported the visit and the conferring of President Reagan arguing that Ireland needed as much US support as possible from an economic and employment perspective. However, fellow student John Fannon opposed Reagan's foreign policies and felt that his visit was inappropriate.\n\nThe reporters were Jim Fahy and Alan McCullough.\n\n1986: The Donegal disco doubling as a nuclear bunker\n\nOn this week forty years ago, a Donegal hotel prepared for nuclear disaster and hoped to make some money in the process. Jackson's Hotel in Ballybofey, County Donegal was making an underground disco available as a nuclear shelter at a price of £250 a head.\n\nIn a 'Morning Ireland' report broadcast on 29 May 1986, Barry Jackson, manager of the hotel, described the facilities on offer and believes that the disco could hold 400 people comfortably in the event of a nuclear accident.\n\nHe rejected the notion it was cashing in on people's fears as a result of the then-recent Chernobyl disaster. When asked about the public interest in his venture Barry Jackson says,\n\nWe've had nobody paying up front yet.\n\nThe reporter was Cathal MacCoille.\n\n1995: The end of the Irish Press\n\nOnce the most popular paper in the country, after 64 years in print The Irish Press newspaper shut down on this week 31 years ago. The Irish Press published its last issue on 25 May 1995. Once part of Ireland's most popular chain of newspapers, circulation had fallen to just 38,000 a day, half of its 1989 figure. The Irish Press was founded by Éamon de Valera and first published on 5 September 1931.\n\nWork at the newspaper came to a standstill when staff heard that management had dismissed business editor Colm Rapple for writing what they regarded as a disloyal article in The Irish Times. Attempts to mediate ran into the night as staff waited to see how management would respond. Earlier that day, the newspaper suffered a double blow, when the Supreme Court overturned a High Court order that American businessman Ralph Ingersoll pay The Irish Press group £6 million in damages. The financially precarious newspaper group would now have to pay Ingersoll £4 million.\n\nIn this 'Prime Time' report from 25 May 1995, Ursula Halligan visited The Irish Press offices as it became less and less likely that a new issue will be printed the following day.\n\nThis week in arts and entertainment 1979: Busking in the Dandelion Market\n\nOn May 29th 1979, the programme Aisling Gheal reported on musician Justin O'Mahony as he busked in the laneway into the legendary Dandelion Market at Gaiety Green in Dublin.\n\nThe Dandelion Market Dublin moved to Gaiety Green next to Saint Stephen's Green in 1973 where it remained until the development of the Saint Stephen's Green shopping centre got under way.\n\nIn this clip, traditional musician Justin O'Mahony plays his own composition on the tin whistle, a reel entitled 'Oíche sa mBridewell' in the lane on the way into the Dandelion Market. The song's title can be translated as 'A Night in the Bridewell Garda Station'. The melody came to him one night when he was held in the Bridewell and had nothing else to do but come up with a tune.\n\nJustin O'Mahony died a few months after the filming of this footage.\n\n1991: The opening of IMMA, the Irish Museum of Modern Art\n\nOn this week in 1991, one of the oldest buildings in Ireland became the home of our newest museum. Declan McGonagle, Director at IMMA, talked to Mary O'Sullivan about art in the modern world and the role that IMMA would play. McGonagle has already forged links with locals in Kilmainham through a community based mural project, an approach he used to get local people involved in art while he was Director at the Orchard Gallery in Derry.\n\nPrior to opening, young artists like Ken Hardy were invited to take up residence at the museum for four weeks. Ken Hardy used the walls of his room to recreate elements of our social history, an example of which was an eviction scene. He described the context for his work at the Royal Hospital as part of our post-colonial inheritance. The work he has illustrated directly on the wall was ephemeral and would be simply painted over after it has been exhibited.\n\nAnother artist in resident Marie Foley worked on a smaller but more permanent scale creating tiny sculptures from porcelain, wood and slate. She described how having artists in residence allows visitors to see how they work in a studio environment. Meanwhile Tyrone artist Finbar Kelly found his use of colour was heavily influenced by his residency at Kilmainham.\n\nThe report said the works of these artists in residence would be on display to the public along with other more permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. According to McGonagle the opening exhibition emphasised diversity with loans from two European museums along with donations, providing visitors with a full experience of a series of moments in art in the twentieth century.\n\nWe have an enormous public responsibility to speak to as broad a spectrum of the public as possible... to present the highest standard of art to the broadest range of people possible.\n\nThis episode of Summer Express was broadcast on 28 May 1991. The reporter was Mary O'Sullivan.\n\nThis week in sports 2001: Samba soccer comes to Ireland\n\nOn 28th May 2001, World Cup winner with Brazil Jairzinho gave some young Irish players tips on the beautiful game at a Samba Soccer launch.\n\nHundreds of thousands of youngsters would take part in sports summer camps and training camps all over Ireland in the coming weeks.\n\nThe Samba Soccer School based its courses on Brazilian training techniques. And in Dublin 25 years ago, Jairzinhno (Jair Ventura Filho) a former Brazilian international and member of the team that won the 1970 FIFA World Cup was passing on his street football skills to Irish kids. He said,\n\nThe Brazilians are very natural soccer players...this is what we do.\n\nSoccer in Ireland has become very competitive, said Ronnie Carroll from Samba Soccer, but the emphasis here is on enjoying the sport.\n\nSamba soccer is completely focused on...lots of fun throughout the whole week.\n\nAn RTÉ News report broadcast on 28 May 2001. The reporter was Gareth O'Connor.\n\n1988: Horse-racing nuns\n\nOn this week in 1988, Sister Anne Neylon galloped to victory on Sweet Devine in world's first Nun Run at the Trim Pony Races. Thousands of people came to see nuns swap their habits for riding breeches and try their hand at being jockeys at the Trim Pony Races in County Meath. An anonymous donor has given £1000 prize money for the first nun past the post in the one and a half mile flat race, and the proceeds will go to local charities and a Dublin inner city youth programme.\n\nPrior to the race, a nun on her pony Holy Moses declared herself to be\n\nconfident as Moses passing over the Red Sea.\n\nThe race was won by the bookies' favourite, Daughter of Charity Sister Anne Neylon from Raheny in Dublin. She galloped across the finishing line on her pony Sweet Divine to win the Nun Run Perpetual Trophy. Before entering her religious community, Sister Anne worked as a stable girl in the Captain Stone stables in Ashtown, County Meath.\n\nThe reporter was Gerry Reynolds.\n\nWhat was Number 1 in Ireland this week? 1976: 'Fernando' by Abba\n\nThe Swedish fourpiece dominated the Irish charts in the mid-1970s. 'Fernando' was at the top of the charts for six whole weeks in 1976.\n\n1997: 'Con te partiro (Time to Say Goodbye) by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli\n\nThis operatic song was number one for two weeks 29 years ago.\n\n2007: 'Umbrella' by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z\n\nThis memorable song was a massive hit for Rihanna 19 years ago, staying at the top of the charts for eight weeks.\n\nFamous Irish names celebrating birthdays this week Philip Treacy\n\nThe iconic milliner turns 59 on May 26th.\n\nRyan Tubridy\n\nThe broadcaster celebrates his 53rd birthday on May 28th.\n\nColm Meaney\n\nThe actor will be 73 on May 30th.",

"body": "A man passes by bullet holes and shattered glass at The People's House in Washington DC after the US Secret Service shot a person near the White House (Rod Lamkey/AP)\n\nAuthorities have released few additional details about the early Saturday evening shooting.\n\nThe District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department said the suspect, identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best, started shooting towards a White House security checkpoint when Secret Service officers returned fire.\n\nBest, of Dundalk, Maryland, was later pronounced dead at a hospital.\n\nUS President Donald Trump was in the White House at the time of the shooting.\n\nIt was the third shooting near the president in the past month, after a man stormed the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April armed with guns and knives, and Secret Service officers shot and wounded a man who fired at them earlier this month near the Washington Monument.\n\nIn a Truth Social post, Mr Trump said the suspect in Saturday's shooting had a \"possible obsession with our Country's most cherished structure\".\n\nHe also used the shooting to promote the ballroom he is seeking to build on the site of the White House's former East Wing, saying the shooting \"goes to show how important it is, for all future Presidents, to get, what will be, the most safe and secure space of its kind ever built in Washington, D.C.\"\n\nMr Trump is asking the US congress for one billion dollars for security additions for the White House campus, including the ballroom.\n\nBest had a previous run-in with law enforcement near the White House, according to District of Columbia court records.\n\nHe was arrested last July for attempting to enter White House grounds near a different checkpoint.\n\nHe failed to heed officers' commands to stop, claimed to be Jesus Christ and said he wanted to be arrested.\n\nBest was a track and field athlete at Dundalk High School, from which he graduated in 2023.\n\nA woman who identified herself as Best's mother told The Washington Post that she learned about the shooting on social media and was in disbelief.\n\nShe said her son \"was never violent, regardless of what people are posting\".",

"body": "In just his second season managing Dublin, Ó Ceallacháin has guided his county to the Leinster final after masterminding huge provincial wins over Galway and Kilkenny.\n\nOn the back of last year's march to the Championship's last four, with a statement win over Limerick, and promotion to Division 1A of the League earlier this season, it's significant progress.\n\nThe one giant blot on Dublin's copybook under Ó Ceallacháin is the seven-goal drubbing they suffered against Cork in last year's All-Ireland semi-final.\n\nAsked after beating Kilkenny, to qualify for a June 6 Leinster final against Galway, what it all meant in terms of the Leinster v Munster narrative, Ó Ceallacháin gave a stout defence of his province.\n\n\"There's a lot said about Munster hurling, and a lot of it with merit,\" he said. \"I think, though, if you look at what's actually happening day-to-day and week-to-week...the likes of Kilkenny, they have won six Leinster titles, there's no Munster team that has taken them for granted over the last six, seven, eight years.\n\n\"You saw last year, the two semi-finals, two Munster teams and two Leinster teams. The Munster championship is a brilliant competition but I also think maybe a bit too much is read into that too with regards to the days and the crowds and all that kind of thing.\n\n\"Ourselves, the likes of Kilkenny, the likes of Galway, Wexford, Offaly, we all stand on our own two feet. Also, if it's not us involved in the middle of July, I certainly hope it's Galway or Offaly who are driving it forward.\"",

"title": "Dear England review: Hugely watchable account of one man's effort to reverse World Cup woes",
"body": "Let's face it, many will watch this for the sheer pleasure of witnessing England lose - not once or twice, but thrice\n\nThe obvious point to make about Gareth Southgate soccer drama, Dear England (BBC One, 9pm), is that a lot of us are going to watch it for the sheer pleasure of witnessing England lose - not once or twice, but thrice.\n\nThe first cataclysmic failure is at Euro '96, the Britpop jamboree that goes off the rails when journeyman defender Southgate misses a penalty and the Three Lions are tamed by Germany. Then comes the 2018 World Cup semi-final, when Croatia, annoyed at the banter about soccer \"coming home\", dump England out on their ears.\n\nFinally, there is Euro 2020 - which of course actually took place in 2021 and where another penalty loss by England in a Wembley decider is clouded by shambolic organisation. We're going to need a bigger popcorn bucket.\n\nSport is never just sport, of course, and the immensely thoughtful and hugely watchable Dear England isn't just about men in white jerseys trying and largely failing to kick a ball into the net. Adapting his award-winning play of the same name, James Graham uses soccer as a prism through which to explore the English psyche in a post-Brexit world.\n\nSouthgate is played by his uncanny lookalike Joseph Fiennes, reprising his performance from the stage version to depict the manager as embodying all that is best about England (in the view of English people at least). He is reserved, quietly spoken, intense in his feelings, yet slow to anger.\n\nYou can see why Southgate mania spread so quickly after he was hastily bunged into the role following Sam Allardyce's departure after a single game. At a time when British politicians were either boring quasi-competents, charming mountebanks or boggle-eyed fantasists, he represented a sort of Englishness in which people could take pride. He was humble, soft-spoken - no born winner but a glorious underdog. Behold the anti-Boris Johnson, the place in the universe the furthest distance from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.\n\n[ TV guide: the best new shows to watch, starting tonightOpens in new window ]\n\nThe joke, of course, was that the other England - still high on imperial vapours - hadn't gone away. England have always assumed the World Cup theirs by divine right and that they were destined to win it again. Southgate's psychological sleight of hand was to convince both team and nation that if they pretended they weren't going to win, they were definitely 100 per cent going to this time. When they didn't, they were just as stunned as at previous tournaments.\n\nGraham has a gift for making sport accessible and fleshing out the human story beneath all the huffing and puffing up and down the pitch (though the soccer scenes are well done). As Southgate, Fiennes locates a quiet fire beneath the bland exterior (how perfect that his waistcoat should be from Marks & Spencer). He has his match in the excellent Jodie Whittaker as team psychologist Pippa Grange.\n\nHowever, things fall apart when it comes to portrayal of the soccer players - the actors playing Harry Kane and Jack Grealish are cartoonish lookalikes (Grealish appears to have been cast strictly because of his ridiculous haircut).\n\nThe exception is the sensitive depiction of Dele Alli (Lewis Shepherd), a young man from an unstable background who played for England but never achieved his true potential (there were unfounded rumours last season that he was about to sign for Bohemian FC). Full accidental hilarity is meanwhile achieved in the prominence of defender Harry Maguire, cast as one of the building blocks of Southgate's England but who has just been very publicly excluded from the England World Cup squad by new manager Thomas Tuchel.\n\nThere are echoes in Dear England of the recent Roy Keane v Mick McCarthy World Cup drama, Saipan. Both used soccer to make wider points about nationhood. In Saipan, the rupture point lay between Cork-born Keane and Barnsley-native McCarthy's conflicting ideas of Irishness. Keane quite rightly had enough of our cheerily fatalistic \"it'll be grand\" culture. McCarthy thought it was fine for the players to relax before the World Cup.\n\nDear England has a more muddled message. Southgate is presented as a super-sized soothsayer, mopping the brow of a troubled nation. But those woes remain and Southgate is now gone - with a German, no less, guiding England into the World Cup.\n\nWhat, then, did Southgate ultimately achieve? Dear England is not altogether clear on this point - or maybe you have to be English to understand what Graham is trying to say. In the end it comes close to hitting the target only to ultimately scuff its shot. When it comes to the World Cup, you don't get more England than that.",

"body": "Cork go 100% in Munster SHC group phase, McGuinness sweats after Killarney, Sherlock has changed the game for Cork's footballers\n\nEventually, it had to come, the dam finally had to break with the sheer volume of goal chances that had battered both defensive walls in the opening 33 minutes. Eoin Downey played a sideline into the path of William Buckley, who slipped Rory Hayes before careering down the central channel to set up Brian Hayes, who drove the ball past Eibhear Quilligan.\n\nThat had been the seventh goal chance in the Munster SHC clash at Páirc Uí Chaoimh to that point. Shane Barrett had the first opportunity straight from the throw-in but the shot was blocked. From the puckout, Ian Galvin drew a brilliant save from Patrick Collins. Four minutes later, Galvin batted the ball off the butt of the post and the Cork defence prevented a posse of Clare forwards from scrambling the rebound over the line.",

"title": "Antrim wrap up Leinster campaign with emphatic victory over Carlow",
"body": "Antrim enjoyed an emphatic victory in their final championship bout after a 17-point victory over Joe McDonagh Finalists Carlow at Corrigan Park.\n\nThe hosts got up and running with five early points without reply from Carlow as Keelan Molloy and James McNaughton both struck.\n\nPaddy Bolan had the first chance at a sight on goal, but his effort was distinguished by Stephen Rooney after the Antrim cornerback put his body on the line to deny the goal-bound effort.\n\nAntrim found the first major of the contest after a mix-up in the Carlow back line saw Niall Bolger unable to retrieve the sliotar, and the Saffrons forward Joseph McLaughlin pounced on the mistake.\n\nThe Cushendall man saw the space in front of him and his run brought him to the net as he drilled an effort low into the ground. Antrim looked to have found a second when McNaughton's effort flashed off the upright.\n\nJohn Michael Nolan suffered a setback which caused concern, as the forward was carted from the field of play.\n\nCarlow did find some comfort with a rallying of frees from deadball positions, Ruairi Murphy's sharp shooting kept them within touching distance of their opposition.\n\nAntrim came back hungry to cut the huge deficit in the table, as Gerard Walsh found Keelan Molloy for a second goal, as the Dunloy man hammered his shot beyond Kyle Foley in the Carlow net.\n\nWalsh then attempted to one-up his teammate, as he struck a monstrous point from 70 yards to tally the point of the afternoon.\n\nAs the half-time whistle blew, 12 points separated the sides, with Antrim relying on a favour from London in their tie with Laois, but business at home had to be taken care of first and foremost.\n\nThe Saffrons found a third goal when Ruairi Donaghy made his substitute appearance worthwhile with an immediate impact in the second half.\n\nThe game was far from the same intensity as the first half, but eventually Carlow found some form and Ruairi Murphy's terrific free-scoring excellence kept them in with a fight.\n\nUltimately, results elsewhere left the Saffrons hopeless and ruing their early Championship form.\n\nCaptain Niall O'Connor spoke with the Irish Examiner after the full-time whistle and believes that unfortunately the Saffrons clicked too late in the season.\n\n\"We began to click far too late and unfortunately for us that left us with no margin for error and in fairness we did rally and win three on the spin, but it left us in a position where it was out of our hands after Laois.\n\n\"It's disappointing, but we ended with a really great win today, against a team that might win the competition.\n\nOn the 50th minute Carlow did find the net when Ruairi Murphy managed to catch the ball with space and drill a score into the Antrim net.\n\nThe Saffrons finished strongly, scores from Keelan Molloy, James McNaughton and Paul Boyle rounded off a great end to the campaign, and a great send-off to Antrim star Stephen Rooney in his final appearance.\n\nAntrim: Cormac McFadden; Ruairi McCormick, Niall O'Connor, Stephen Rooney; Oísin Donnelly, Joe Maskey, Gerard Walsh 0-1; Ryan McCambridge 0-2, Paul Boyle 0-3; Conall Bohill, Keelan Molloy 1-5, James McNaughton 0-13 (0-10F); Jack McCloskey, Conal Cunning, Joseph McLaughlin.\n\nSubs: Ruairi Donaghy 1-0 on for Jack McCloskey (11'), Scott Walsh 0-1 on for Conall Bohill (49'), Rory McCloskey on for Oisin Donnelly (55'), Cormac McKeown on for Paul Boyle (60'), Ben McGarry on for Keelan Molloy (66').\n\nCarlow: Kyle Foley; Lorcan Doyle, Niall Bolger, Conaill Fitzpatrick; Tadhg O'Neill, Richard Coady, Paidi O'Shea; Eric English 0-1, Colm Beck 0-1; Jake Nolan, Ted Joyce, John Doyle 0-4; Paddy Bolan, John Michael Nolan, Ruairi Murphy 1-8 (0-8F) Carlow.\n\nSubs: Colm Kavanagh 0-1 on for John Michael Nolan (24'), Paddy Bolan off for Conor Carew (40'), Kevin Kavanagh on for Ted Joyce (47'), Jamie Wall on for Paidi O'Shea (58').",

The big dogs, Cork and Limerick, were effectively already in a Munster final, so they saw this as an opportunity to sharpen their teeth for the savagery coming in two weeks. And when Clare and Tipp weren't ready for that attack, they were like fresh pieces of raw meat.",

"body": "A bystander who was struck by gunfire after a man fired on a checkpoint outside the White House and was fatally shot by US Secret Service officers remained in serious but stable condition on Sunday.\n\nThe Secret Service said the bystander, who has not been identified, suffered a gunshot wound described as not life-threatening.\n\nAuthorities have released few additional details about the early Saturday evening shooting.\n\nThe District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department said the suspect, identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best, started shooting towards a White House security checkpoint when Secret Service officers returned fire.\n\nBest, of Dundalk, Maryland, was later pronounced dead at a hospital.\n\nUS President Donald Trump was in the White House at the time of the shooting.\n\nIt was the third shooting near the president in the past month, after a man stormed the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April armed with guns and knives, and Secret Service officers shot and wounded a man who fired at them earlier this month near the Washington Monument.\n\nIn a Truth Social post, Mr Trump said the suspect in Saturday's shooting had a \"possible obsession with our Country's most cherished structure\".\n\nHe also used the shooting to promote the ballroom he is seeking to build on the site of the White House's former East Wing, saying the shooting \"goes to show how important it is, for all future Presidents, to get, what will be, the most safe and secure space of its kind ever built in Washington, D.C.\"\n\nMr Trump is asking the US congress for one billion dollars for security additions for the White House campus, including the ballroom.\n\nBest had a previous run-in with law enforcement near the White House, according to District of Columbia court records.\n\nHe was arrested last July for attempting to enter White House grounds near a different checkpoint.\n\nHe failed to heed officers' commands to stop, claimed to be Jesus Christ and said he wanted to be arrested.\n\nBest was a track and field athlete at Dundalk High School, from which he graduated in 2023.\n\nA woman who identified herself as Best's mother told The Washington Post that she learned about the shooting on social media and was in disbelief.\n\nShe said her son \"was never violent, regardless of what people are posting\".",

"title": "Do you believe them? RSV vaccine is safe and effective but expensive, says HIQA",
"body": "Immunisation against RSV has been found to be both safe and effective, but it comes with a high cost, according to HIQA.\n\nThe Health Information and Quality Authority stated that immunisation against Respiratory Syncytial Virus greatly lowers hospitalisation rates, with the most significant benefits seen in infants due to the high disease burden in this group, reports RTE.\n\nHIQA has released a comprehensive review examining the potential expansion of immunisation in Ireland for both infants and older adults, concluding that all available immunisation options are safe and effective.\n\nRSV is a widespread seasonal virus that affects the lungs and upper respiratory tract, reports RTE.\n\nEach winter, more than 7,000 cases of RSV are recorded, with infants and older adults facing a higher risk of developing severe illness.\n\nThe virus leads to approximately 1,800 hospital discharges and 130 ICU admissions annually among children under the age of two, reports RTE.\n\nAmong people aged 65 and older, there are about 120 hospital discharges linked to RSV each year.\n\nThe research was commissioned by the Department of Health to guide long-term policy decisions for the Minister for Health, reports RTE.\n\nThe findings estimate that over a five-year period, vaccination costs to the HSE could range from €15.6 million for providing a maternal vaccine to pregnant women expecting during RSV season, up to €58.5 million for offering monoclonal antibody immunisation to all infants during their first RSV season.\n\nThe monoclonal antibody is priced at around €301, while the maternal vaccine costs about €165, with both figures excluding VAT. The adult vaccine is also approximately €165, excluding VAT, reports RTE.\n\nHIQA noted there is significant uncertainty regarding the eventual cost of RSV immunisation products for the HSE, though competitive tendering could potentially lower prices.\n\nIt also estimated that vaccinating adults aged 80 and over would cost €70.6 million over five years, as this group faces the highest risk of hospitalisation and death linked to RSV, reports RTE.\n\nFor this older group, a single dose would be administered, though its effectiveness diminishes over time.\n\nDr Máirín Ryan, HIQA Deputy CEO and Director of Health Technology Assessment, said RSV places a considerable burden on vulnerable populations and presents major challenges for the healthcare system, particularly in paediatric services, reports RTE.\n\nShe added that while immunisation could ease winter hospital overcrowding and strengthen the resilience of the health system, it remains very costly.\n\nThe review indicated that more long-term data on effectiveness and safety is expected soon, which could affect the overall cost-effectiveness of RSV immunisation, reports RTE.\n\nIn 2024, the HSE launched a pilot RSV vaccination programme for newborns during the RSV season, focusing on premature babies and other high-risk infants with underlying conditions.\n\nThe RSV season typically runs from early September through to the end of February, reports RTE.\n\nThe HSE acknowledged HIQA's findings regarding the high costs involved and emphasised the importance of securing the best possible pricing for these vaccines.\n\nIt also said preparations are underway for a third RSV immunisation programme, while a final decision on a nationwide rollout beyond winter 2026/27 is still pending from the Department of Health, reports RTE.\n\nTell us your thoughts in the Facebook post and share this with your friends.",

"title": "'A victory for centrist politics' - Harris hails Kyne's rare by-election win",
"body": "Tanaiste and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has said Sean Kyne's win in the Galway West by-election was \"a victory for centrist politics\".\n\nMr Kyne's success bucks the trend of government parties struggling to win by-elections and maintains the Government's majority.\n\nMr Harris said it was the work of Mr Kyne, who is a former TD and minister, and his record of \"delivery\" that convinced voters to back him.\n\nHe said that Government parties \"very rarely win\" by-elections and said it speaks to the \"healthy state\" of Fine Gael and of Mr Kyne's ability that he had prevailed on Sunday.\n\nHe said the result had given his party \"a mandate to work even harder\" and said the two by-election votes combined was the largest vote of any of the parties.\n\n\"What I take from this is a small sense of encouragement that people will respond to politics that is about trying to deliver solutions, politics that is trying to not be angry or loud or shouty but actually trying to work hard to deliver,\" Mr Harris said in Galway on Sunday.\n\n\"I think that's a victory for centrist politics. I want to lead the centre in Irish politics, I want to make sure the centre holds.\"\n\nHe said Mr Kyne ran \"an absolutely incredible campaign\" and said he was \"really pleased\" with his vote and transfers.\n\n\"This has really shown that our party is both at a moment of growth and renewal, that people have really come together, put their shoulder to the wheel, and this can be the outcome when a party pulls together,\" he said.\n\nMr Harris said they had \"heard the issues\" while out on the canvass and said they would work \"even harder for the people of this country\".\n\nHe said he would return to work this week with \"a new sense of humility and gratitude\".\n\n\"Let me be very clear, because I met these people and I looked them in the eye and I heard them, there's people who went out and voted for Sean Kyne and there's people who went out and voted for Ray McAdam, and they're telling me to make sure we do more and we do better.\n\n\"I heard that too. And what do I mean by that? I mean things around the budget.\n\n\"People who are working really hard, playing by the rules, still feeling that they're struggling to get by and not ahead, making sure the tax system works more fairly for them, delivering infrastructure much more quickly, minding the economy at a challenging time - because you can't take that for granted - supporting businesses, making sure work pays.\"",
