David Courell has defended the FAI’s decision to hike the price of Ireland season tickets, insisting it still represents value. But while the chief executive confirmed FAI debt stands at €40m, he would prefer a favourable Word Cup draw for 2025 over seat-filling glamour dates with big nations. Those World Cup qualifiers form the bulk of Ireland’s matches in 2025, with the draw taking place in Switzerland on December 13.

In the meantime, Ireland play Bulgaria in a two-legged Nations League promotion-relegation playoff in March and will also have June friendlies. It’s unclear how many summer friendlies will be arranged, or who the opposition will be, but at least one game is expected to be in Dublin and part of the season ticket. Within the 2025 renewal increases, family season tickets have jumped from €460 to €600 and kids tickets have climbed to €100 from €80. Last month, the group representing supporters’ bodies in Irish football hit out at the hikes. And the ‘Irish Football Supporters Partnership’ also criticised a new system where 50% of the season ticket price was due before the World Cup draw was even made. Quizzed on the increases, FAI boss Courell said: “It would be remiss of me not to praise our fans who have been fantastic, probably the most loyal in the world. We haven’t always performed in recent years but they have stayed with us. We have the highest season ticket membership of any federation in Europe at 24,500 last year. We don’t take that for granted but equally there are costs associated with hosting games in this fantastic facility (Aviva Stadium).” Courell continued: “We have only increased ticket prices once (before this) in the last decade. It was merited that we had to increase our season ticket prices but we wanted to reward the loyalty of those fans so if they’re renewing there’s still amazing value there. You can still get an adult ticket for an average of €30 per game which I think we’d all recognise in this day and age in this country represents good value for money. “While no fan group anywhere in the world would ever countenance any price increases, I’m happy to see the interest in season tickets is in rude health. We’re now at over 20,000 sold already. While I understand there may be some disappointment, hopefully they can understand our cost base is increasing.” While Ireland will be in a small, four-team group for those World Cup qualifiers, there’s still scope to land heavyweight opposition. For the failed Euro 2024 bid under Stephen Kenny, Ireland were pitched into a group of death with kingpings France and Netherlands, joining Greece and Gibraltar. Asked if he would prefer glamour draws or winnable games in the World Cup campaign, Courell plumbed for the latter. “I think we have been unfortunate, particularly in the men’s team, but also recently in the women’s team, to be drawn in very difficult groups,” he said. “I would be very welcoming to taking a slightly easier path to the main tournament.” Meanwhile, Courell said any future contract talks with Ireland women’s boss Eileen Gleeson would be parked until after the upcoming Euro playoffs with Wales. And while he expressed satisfaction with men’s boss Hallgrimsson, there are no plans to initiate fresh contract talks with the Icelander’s deal covering the World Cup. Courell said: “Heimir has landed really well. I think his engagement with the team has been really positive. We’re in a really good place. We’ve got a great relationship with Heimir and I don’t see any reason why we would open those conversations earlier. We’re happy with the direction and the trajectory that we’re on but there’s no movement on the timeline.” Gleeson admitted last week that she wants to stay on as Ireland boss, but said talks were on hold for now. Asked about it, Courell said: “Our focus is on the next two games. Eileen has done a fantastic job and at the end of this campaign we’ll sit down and decide what’s next."

A woman was pulled from the icy waters of a Stittsville pond on Wednesday morning. Ottawa Fire Services say they were called after police responded to reports of a person in the water in the 500 block of Nordmann Fir Court near Terry Fox Drive at about 10:50 a.m. An initial investigation found the woman fell through after trying to rescue her dog on the ice, according to Ottawa Fire spokesperson Nick Defazio. Ottawa paramedics say the elderly woman inhaled some water and had symptoms of hypothermia. She was taken to hospital in serious condition. Ottawa Fire Services is reminding residents to be cautious around icy waters as temperatures begin to dip. Residents should call 911 if a person or animal falls into the water and should never attempt a rescue themselves, the fire service says.

SEASONED political observer Joe Kemmy says it's likely that Elisa O'Donovan will take the fourth and final seat in Limerick City. The Social Democrats councillor received a huge transfer of 339 votes from People Before Profit-Solidarity candidate Ruairi Fahy in the last count. She has moved 363 votes clear of her nearest rival, Dee Ryan - and 391 clear of Cllr Conor Sheehan, Labour. LIVE BLOG: General Election results from Limerick Now, Mr Kemmy, who is director of elections on the Labour campaign, has said he believes the gap is now too wide for his candidate to bridge. "The deficit is too big to make up. We don't give up, because there are a big bloc of votes to be dished out yet. But the Social Democrats seem to have the wind at their back. She is transferring well, and I think we will find it difficult to overhaul Elisa O'Donovan at this stage," he said. Mr Kemmy - who correctly predicted the mayoral election outcome three days before the declaration - added: "When a party gets a bounce as Labour get it, sometimes Sinn Fein get it, the Social Democrats got it this time, the brand delivers a certain percentage of the vote." "She is the beneficiary of that swing. Fair play to her. I think she will win, but she hasn't won yet. We'll finish fifth at worst in a four-seater constituency, which is never a nice place to finish. Conor is a young man, if he doesn't make it this time, I'm sure he will be back next time. He's a good worker and he will graft away." "But I do expect Elisa O'Donovan to be the next TD in Limerick," he concluded.The fast food industry is no stranger to recalls. Some of the most impactful recalls in history have , with the latter infamously sparking an E. coli outbreak in the 1990s that's credited with permanently changing how the industry handled beef. One chain has managed to mostly avoid the recall spotlight: Chick-fil-A. America's favorite fast food chicken chain has maintained a shockingly clean recall record — but it's not totally spotless. With its first restaurant debuting in 1967, Chick-fil-A holds over five decades of experience in the industry. While these years have been blighted by the occasional controversy (primarily related to its history of ), few have related to food safety. In fact, we only managed to dig up a measly total of five recalls, with only three relating to its actual food and just one of these three caused by bacterial contamination. That's a pretty good history, especially when you compare it to the track record of some Chick-fil-A competitors. Here's a rundown of Chick-fil-A's relatively light recall history. Chick-fil-A Polynesian Sauce (2024) The , but its dipping sauces aren't too far behind. The chain boasts seven different flavors, with the most famous being its eponymous Chick-fil-A Sauce. On its heels is the Polynesian sauce, a sweet and sour sauce with just the right amount of tang. Back in March 2024, however, Chick-fil-A was forced to recall the sauce en masse because it had too much tang. The explanation behind the Polynesian sauce's tang was that there had been a mixup during the packaging process. Some tubs of Polynesian Sauce actually contained Chick-fil-A's sriracha. The big concern wasn't the extra heat in the sriracha sauce, but rather the fact that it contained wheat and soy, neither of which were declared on the Polynesian sauce packaging. In an effort to keep the mismatched tubs out of the hands (and mouths) of those with wheat or soy allergies, Chick-fil-A conducted a mass recall across 27 states and encouraged customers to they may have taken home between February 14 and February 27, 2024. Fortunately, the issue didn't impact the bottles of sauce sold in grocery stores, meaning customers could still get their Polynesian sauce fix until the matter was resolved. Chick-fil-A products with romaine lettuce (2018) Chick-fil-A's only contamination-related incident on this list occurred in 2018, when it was caught up in not one but two nationwide recalls. On both occasions, the FDA had tracked an ongoing E. coli outbreak in the U.S. and Canada to romaine lettuce, sparking Chick-fil-A — plus multiple other fast food restaurants — to temporarily pause sales of anything containing said lettuce. That meant (although its Deluxe Sandwich was good to go, as it uses green leaf lettuce). While the first outbreak ran from March to June, the second spanned from October to December. Both outbreaks combined saw 272 people infected and 121 hospitalized. These numbers included the illness of Eunice Cintron, a California resident who experienced gastrointestinal symptoms after ordering a Spicy Southwest Salad from a Chick-fil-A in Sacramento. She was later diagnosed with E. coli O157 with Shiga toxin and colitis, and the symptoms were severe. Cintron rated her stomach pain as a 10/10 and compared it to a "stabbing" sensation, (via ), ultimately spending seven days in hospital before returning home. This experience is all too common with E. coli, with some infections even proving fatal to those with more vulnerable immune systems. For every E. coli-related recall that ends with zero cases of illness, there's a handful more that, like this, came too late to prevent the worst. Chick-fil-A Chocolate Chunk Cookies (2016) More allergen fears triggered a Chick-fil-A recall in 2016. This time, it was the possibility that its Chocolate Chunk Cookies contained traces of peanuts that led the chain to temporarily stop selling the baked goods altogether. As per its supplier, CSM Bakery Solutions, there was a slight risk that the cookies — which are listed as nut-free in Chick-fil-A's official allergen guide — had come into contact with peanuts during production, making them potentially dangerous to those with severe allergies. Not only did Chick-fil-A press pause on cookie sales, but it also asked anyone who had purchased but not yet eaten the cookies before April 22 to return them to the store for a refund ASAP. Personally, our cookies are fully demolished within mere minutes of purchase, but we're sure there were some customers out there with stronger self-control who may have had one or two lying around. Luckily, it seems like nobody with a severe allergy did eat the cookie, as no cases were ever linked to Chick-fil-A. Unfortunately for Chocolate Chunk Cookie fans, the whole debacle did mean that they were unavailable for a week or so before returning in a limited capacity until Chick-fil-A could restore its regular stock in May. Jim Henson's Creature Shop Puppet toys (2012) Chick-fil-A's history with the LGBTQ+ community has been rocky, to say the least, and once even directly played into a massive product recall. The fast food chain has a history of , a practice that it vowed to stop for good in 2019. Seven years earlier, however, its former CEO, Dan Cathy — son of Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy — openly pledged himself against gay marriage when he told that he believed in the "Biblical definition of the family unit." Responses were overwhelmingly strong, with gay rights activist groups staging a "kiss day" at restaurants nationwide and The Jim Henson Company severing its partnership with the company. "The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over 50 years and we have notified Chick-fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors," it said on , having recently collaborated on a line of Creature Shop puppet toys for Chick-fil-A's kids' meals. "Lisa Henson, our CEO, is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-fil-A to GLAAD." A day before the statement went public, Chick-fil-A announced a mass recall of said toys and offered young customers an Icedream Cone as a replacement. While it insisted this was due to a potential safety risk, not The Jim Henson Company's decision to cut ties, not everyone was convinced by the timing. Planet Discovery Kids Meal toy (2001) Over a decade before Chick-fil-A pulled Jim Henson's Creature Shop Puppets, it performed a far-less scandalous toy recall. In 2001, the chain pulled the plug on its line of Planet Discovery toys, which had been distributed at over 800 Chick-fil-A restaurants over the course of two years. Each Planet Discovery toy was shaped like the sun, moon, or a different planet. Each came with an attached suction cup that could be used to attach it to a flat surface like tables or windows. However, the issue was that this suction cup wasn't particularly secure and could easily detach and pose a choking hazard. Chick-fil-A had received seven reports of the suction cup coming off, with one incident of a child choking on the cup until the parent managed to remove it from their mouth. Unsurprisingly, Chick-fil-A moved pretty quickly at that point. An estimated 3.8 million units of the toy (which ironically came bearing the warning "Parents: This toy has been safety-tested for children of all ages") were recalled nationwide, (via the ).
