Butter Bling: Irish designer teases glitzy Kerrygold purse
Hold onto your toast, Irish designer Maya Grisham has just teased what might be the most gloriously over-the-top accessory of the year. Taking to Instagram, the brand known for its crystal embellished accessories, shared an image of a Kerrygold handbag encrusted with Swarovski crystals. Known for her tongue-in-cheek takes on Irish iconography, Grisham seems to have outdone herself with this recent homage, even topping her previous Guinness can cross body and Tayto packet purse. Hold onto your toast, Irish designer Maya Grisham has just teased what might be the most gloriously over-the-top accessory of the year. Pic: Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images 'For those who love @kerrygoldirl,' the brand captioned the mock-up image. 'Super tempted to make a Kerry Gold Bag. Should we make a prototype?,' they further teased. Unsurprisingly, fans of the brand melted faster than butter on a hot pan (we couldn't help ourselves, sorry). View this post on Instagram A post shared by @mayagrishamofficial 'OMG I need this,' one user wrote. 'Omg this is gas I love it,' another penned. While the official Kerry Gold Ireland account commented: 'You don't need to ask us twice.' Earlier this month, Kerrygold launched a brand new flavour in the United States, leaving their Irish customers fuming. Pic: Kerrygold USA/ Instagram As we mentioned, the brand is no stranger to paying tribute to popular Irish motifs, but what should she try her hand at next? Our money is on a purple Snack bar or a bottle of Cidona. Earlier this month, Kerrygold launched a brand new flavour in the United States, leaving their Irish customers fuming. The beloved brand has been upping their game in recent years with new varieties of their products including Garlic & Herb butter as well as a spreadable cheese range. Now, American customers have been getting their hands on their latest butter blend, Cinnamon & Sugar. Californian creator Cait Regan took to TikTok to share a glimpse at the delicious delicacy, which is coated in brown sugar and cinnamon. 'It smells like a churro,' she explained, 'I'm not okay.' Cait captioned the clip 'cinnamon sugar kerrygold butter GOODBYE,' with the video generating more than 30,000 likes. Many of the comments were people in awe after learning of the new butter variation, while others were Irish people literally raging that it wasn't a product available in Ireland.

Gardaí to cycle 500km in Spain to raise funds for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind
This year, the funds raised will be again donated to the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind charity. Next month, the cyclists will embark on a 500km cycle from Cadi-Moixero National Park in the Pyrenees bordering Andorra and Spain, finishing in Barcelona, with the assistance of their counterparts in the Spanish Police. The fundraiser was launched on Tuesday afternoon by Spanish ambassador to Ireland Ion de la Riva Guzmán de Frutos at his residence in Dublin 4 and was also attended by Assistant Garda Commissioner Angela Willis. The Garda Tour De Force consists of gardaí and friends who have been cycling annually since 1991 to raise funds for Irish charities. Last year, they raised almost €44,000 for Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind and almost €4,000 for a host of other charities. On that occasion, 20 cyclists and support staff embarked on a 500km Spanish trip from Malaga to Seville in September raising a total of €47,770 – almost €8,000 more than their target. Among the beneficiaries have been Crumlin Children's Hospital, Debra Ireland, Aware, the Irish Heart Foundation, the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland and Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. The Marie Keating Foundation, Laura Lynn, Age Action, St John of Gods (Re Nua) and Trust, a charity caring for the homeless in Dublin, have also benefited. On their first fundraising ride 33 years ago, members of the team cycled to Ashford, Co Wicklow, to raise money for The HolyAngels Infant Intensive Care Unit at the Coombe Hospital, Dublin. Since 2005, they have embarked on more challenging routes in Ireland and continental Europe. In 2023, they embarked on a 500km cycle from Basel, Switzerland, to Bad Toelz in Germany through the foothills of the German and Austrian Alps in which €32,000 was raised. And in 2010 they even went cycling in North America. Each participant in the charity ride must raise at least €1,000 for the charity and pay their own costs. A Tour De Force spokeswoman told the Irish Independent: 'Our main sponsors this year are: Fleet Plan, Copper Face Jacks, FBD Insurance, Blooms Hotel, Oliver St. John Gogarty's, Fitzwilliam Hotel, ' Euro Cycles, Quanta Capital, Irish Independent Newspapers and The Irish Sun. 'We would like to thank them for their kind support and generous donations to this worthy cause.'

Tony O'Reilly, the ‘boy wonder' who took the Lions tour of South Africa by storm
No matter how well the Irish international rugby players perform on the current British and Irish Lions tour of Australia, none of them is likely to match the impact that Dubliner Tony O'Reilly made 70 years ago this summer during the 1955 Lions tour of South Africa . Not yet three months past his 19th birthday, he scored two tries on his Lions debut and he played in all four test matches against South Africa in August and September when South Africa were regarded as the best team in the world. He was top scorer on that tour with 15 tries, including one in the first and fourth test matches. 'His speed shook the Springboks ,' said the Sunday Press report on the first test, which the Lions won 23-22, in Johannesburg. The accompanying photograph was captioned: 'The fast-running Tony O'Reilly, whose great individual efforts were rewarded by scoring a try.' Another try in the fourth and final test in Port Elizabeth, where South Africa won by 22 points to 8 to share the series 2-2, enabled the same paper to headline its match report: O'Reilly Stars As Tourists Go Down. The Irish Times report was more phlegmatic. 'He dislocated his shoulder when scoring, but the bone was later replaced successfully,' it said. (Idiosyncratic house styles dictated that the The Irish Times called the travelling team 'British Isles' while the Sunday Press called them 'British and Irish XV' or 'the Tourists'.) READ MORE During the subsequent Lions tour of Australia, New Zealand and Canada in 1959, O'Reilly scored a try in each of the test wins over Australia and in two of the four tests against New Zealand. His combined total of 37 tries on the 1955 and 1959 tours remains a Lions record. The 17 tries he scored in New Zealand in 1959 is also a Lions record. O'Reilly won his first Irish international cap, aged 18, in January 1955, less than two months after he was hailed as 'an up-and-coming boy wonder' in the Sunday Press, then the country's best-bestselling paper. Already 'attracting attention as a great attacking player' on the Old Belvedere senior team, the 6ft 3.5in, 14-stone O'Reilly had also achieved success at cricket, tennis and soccer, it noted. 'He has four School Cup medals for tennis and was on the Belvedere team which won the Schools Cricket Cup as a wicketkeeper and opening bat,' the report said, adding: 'In cricket he has provincial honours and was a reserve for the Schools of Ireland team. At soccer Tony played for Home Farm and got a trial as a centre-forward for the Irish Schools against England, but was unable to play because of a Rugby Cup match.' Rugby renown was followed by a successful business career, initially as general manager of An Bord Báinne, the Irish Dairy Board, for whom he oversaw the launch of the internationally successful Kerrygold butter brand. He became chairman and chief executive of the giant US food group Heinz and owner of the Waterford Wedgwood crystal glass and ceramics brands. [ Tony O'Reilly: A dazzling star who left a mark on many facets of Irish society Opens in new window ] He also enjoyed more than 35 years as a 'media magnate' (a now obsolescent term), peaking in ownership of 128 newspapers and a number of radio stations and TV cable interests in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Britain. He gained control of the Irish Independent group in 1973 and he became majority owner of Ireland's bestselling Sunday World five years later. After another five years he had full control over the Independent Group and from about 1990 onwards he was in effect bankrolling the Sunday Tribune. He was also joint owner of the Anglo-Irish tabloid Daily Star and owner of the Belfast Telegraph. His investments in the Sunday Tribune and in the London Independent and Independent on Sunday probably never made a penny profit, however. Neither did his multimillion pound 1994 investment and loan to the owners of the newspaper that had first heralded his sporting prowess, the Sunday Press, and its sister daily and evening titles. The State's Competition Authority found that the investment and loan amounted to 'very serious breaches' of the Competition Act and 'an abuse of a dominant position' by O'Reilly's Independent group. The Press group collapsed in May 1995 and O'Reilly was ousted from Independent News & Media (INM) in 2009. His shareholdings in INM and Waterford Wedgwood nosedived in value, foreshadowing his serious illness and bankruptcy. His long-serving INM chief executive Vincent Crowley was asked later what value had been attributed to the Press shareholding in its annual reports. He replied: 'Zero.'
