Shoppers rave about 'very quiet' bladeless fan perfect for the warm days
Now might be a good time to prep for the hotter days by snagging a fan before things get too sticky. Amazon's on it with the 4.6-star-rated Pro Breeze® Silent Bladeless Portable Tower Fan up for grabs at €162.51.
The fan's portability means you can lug it from room to room, chasing down those particularly hot spots. It's a game-changer for the bedroom when the heat messes with your snooze, plus customers say it's hushed enough not to drown out your telly.
With six speed options, you can crank it up as the temperature does, reports the Express.
A content customer shared their thoughts on the Pro Breeze fan, saying: "This is the second one I have purchased. I liked the grey one I bought for my living room so much, I bought this white one for my bedroom. On the low speed, which is very good, you can hear very little noise. (I have great hearing.) And it did not affect the volume of my TV which is not up very loud to begin with."
A satisfied customer shared: "I love this fan so much, I purchased a second one for my bedroom. I got the first one last summer for the living room, and I was really impressed, in the past I have used the fans that have a blade which were ok but not very good at keeping me cool, when the third one stopped working I looked into these types of fans, I researched all of them on Amazon and read reviews and decided on this one and can honestly say I am over the moon with it."
Yet, another customer noted a drawback regarding the noise level: "As a fan this is great, easily as cooling as a Dyson or bigger more expensive brand, even on low settings you can feel it. The instructions are easy to follow, the remote is easy to use. It's a little chunky not massively but there's definitely more streamlined versions out there. It's not deafeningly loud but you can hear it as it's not silent either, I do think it's a great fan for the money though, I would definitely buy again."
One person highlighted a gripe with the remote: "Remote is a bit rubbish as has to be in a specific position to get signal across, which is particularly difficult while the fan oscillates, other than that the fan is top notch."
Yet another shopper expressed contentment, saying: "An excellent unit, it was very quiet in the bedroom whilst delivering a very good breeze."

Fundraiser launched to return belongings of young Irishman who drowned in Canada
The family of a young Irish man who tragically died in a drowning incident in Canada last month have launched a fundraiser in a bid to bring his personal belongings back home to Ireland. Stuart Doonan, from Drumquin in Co Tyrone, sadly lost his life on Friday, June 13, after getting into difficulty in water close to where he was living in Montreal. The 30-year-old's death sent shockwaves through his hometown and beyond, with his family paying heartbreaking tribute to the popular young man. 'We are devastated about the circumstances surrounding his passing as he tragically drowned near his accommodation in Montreal,' his sister said. 'Stuart was full of life and full of love, the heart and soul of our family and he will be sorely missed.' Stuart's family are arranging to bring his body home with the help of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust so that he may be buried in his native Tyrone, with a funeral service due to be held at Drumquin Presbyterian Church on Tuesday (July 15). The family have now set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of bringing Stuart's personal belongings back to Ireland . The fundraiser is being organised by Stuart's sister Stacey, who posted a message on the GoFundMe page which read: "Our son/brother Stuart Doonan sadly passed away in Montreal, Canada, June 2025. "We are grateful for all the invaluable help and support we are receiving in getting Stuart home from the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust, we now face the challenge of bringing his belongings home. "We have to navigate the process of getting his personal belongings home as he lived in Montreal for four years. We would appreciate any support in doing this. "Excess funds will be going to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust (Newry) who have and continue to be a great support to the family." The GoFundMe page has already raised £4,175 (€4,805) after being set up at the weekend. Anyone who would like to make a contribution to the fundraising campaign can visit the GoFundMe page here.

Major excavation of unmarked grave of babies and young children under way
The excavation of the site of St Mary's mother and baby home in Tuam, Co Galway, will try to identify the remains of infants who died at the home between 1925 and 1961. Archaeologists and other specialists have started working at the site as part of its attempt to exhume and identify human remains. In 2014, research led by local historian Catherine Corless indicated that 796 babies and young children were buried in a sewage system at the Co Galway institution across that time period. St Mary's home for unmarried mothers and their children was run by the Bon Secours Sisters, a religious order of Catholic nuns. In 2021, Taoiseach Micheal Martin apologised on behalf of the state for the treatment of women and children who were housed in mother and baby homes across Ireland. The Bon Secours Sisters also offered a 'profound apology' after acknowledging the order had 'failed to protect the inherent dignity' of women and children in the Tuam home. The Office of the Director of Authorised Intervention Tuam (ODAIT), which is undertaking the work, confirmed that ground was broken at 10.38am on Monday. The process, which started on Monday, is expected to last two years. The work at the burial site will involve exhumation, analysis, identification if possible and re-interment of the remains at the site. The site, surrounded by a 2.4 metre-high hoarding, is security monitored on a 24-hour basis to ensure the forensic integrity of the site during the excavation. Daniel MacSweeney, who leads the ODAIT, said: 'These measures are necessary to ensure the site's forensic integrity and to enable us to carry out the works to the highest international standards that govern the excavation and recovery programme.' A visit for families and survivors to view the site ahead of the commencement of the full excavation took place last Tuesday. Dr Niamh McCullagh, ODAIT's senior forensic consultant, is leading the forensic excavation alongside other Irish specialists and international experts from Colombia, Spain, UK, Canada, Australia and the US. ODAIT's multidisciplinary forensic approach to the complex challenge of the excavation is grounded in the expertise of forensic archaeologists, osteoarchaeologists, forensic anthropologists together with experts in crime scene management including evidence management and forensic photography. Anna Corrigan, who discovered that she had two older brothers who were born while her mother was a resident at the Tuam home, said Monday was a welcome but difficult day. Ms Corrigan has instructed KRW Law to launch High Court civil proceedings against a number of agencies and institutions including the Order of The Sisters of Bon Secours over the circumstances surrounding the death and disappearance of her brothers. 'Whilst it's a relief to see work started on the site it's really only the latest stage in what is still a long road for all of us,' she said. 'I accept there are technical issues arising from the exhumation which may impact on decision-making by the attorney general, the coroner in Galway and the gardai and others, but the least we can expect now is expressions of support plus a commitment to reviewing all previous decision-making. 'I won't rest until I see justice for my two brothers who not only need a proper Christian burial but also the full rigours of the law both domestic and international applied. 'What happened at Tuam was criminal, so there needs to be both church and state accountability. The Government can't just do a Pontius Pilate and wash their hands of this and blame the nuns and the Catholic Church. 'They have a complicity in all of this as well. Any solutions which exclude the state won't be tolerated by me or anyone else. 'We've fought far too hard to get to here and we certainly don't want to see this important excavation work carried out in vain. 'There are so many people I want to thank, including Jim McVeigh from Belfast and our lawyers, including KRW Law led by Chris Stanley, together with Carl Buckley of Guernica Chambers, whose guidance and direction has helped to chart a path through many of the legal complexities. 'We have much more work to be done before we can feel anywhere near satisfied.' Speaking on the opening day of excavations, Irish human rights lawyer Kevin Winters said: 'Annie (Anna) Corrigan, like so many others, has waited a long time for this moment. It's intensely emotional for her but also frustrating given the gnawing sense of unfinished business. 'She welcomes the excavation work, which is likely to take anything up to two years to complete, and sees today as an opportunity to again call upon the Irish Government to engage on unresolved legal issues connected to the recovery process. 'Over 18 months ago we wrote to gardai, including local gardai, at Tuam urging them to treat the scandal as a criminal investigation. 'Despite repeated requests from both Annie and ourselves they failed to assign gardai Pulse investigation numbers until last month when she received confirmation they would issue. 'We have written to gardai in Galway urging the immediate release of the numbers. The industrial volumes of buried infants and the manner in which they met their fate clearly points to criminality. 'It will be momentous to see the assignment of Pulse record numbers as that crystallises formal criminal investigation status upon this historical human rights debacle. 'Equally important is the requirement that the coroner in Galway upscales intervention after opening up the case as far back as 2017. 'There needs to be an inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of Annie's siblings and all the other unexplained deaths. 'We are also instructed by Annie to launch High Court civil proceedings against a number of agencies and institutions including the Order of The Sisters of Bon Secours over the circumstances surrounding the death and disappearance of Annie's brothers. 'There was a suffocating toxicity about the historic Irish state-Catholic Church relationship which helped foment the horrors of Tuam. 'However this almost mediaeval barbarity occurred within living memory. 'Tuam is in danger of becoming a byword for cruelty unless both state agencies and the church respond promptly and transparently to the latest legal agitation touching upon criminal investigation; inquests and compensation.'
