Giant dice forfeits, singing along to Status Quo... and chats about VAT! This is what REALLY goes on in the Lions' camp Down Under
After their first-Test victory over the Wallabies on Saturday night, a group of Lions players celebrated at the Marquee Bar on Brunswick Street. The likes of Finn Russell, Will Stuart and Andrew Porter donned their Australian bush hats after their recovery ice baths and hit the Brisbane town. Many of their partners joined, too. Family has been a big part of this trip; from presenting the Test jerseys at the Botanic Gardens, to children running around on the pitch during the final training session at the Suncorp Stadium.

French investor pays €47.2m for Smithfield office block
French investor Corum Asset Management has deepened its involvement in the Dublin office market, paying about €47.2 million for the Infinity Building, a high-profile six-storey block in Smithfield. The Infinity Building, developed originally as George's Court by the late Liam Carroll 's Zoe Developments, the Infinity Building occupies a prominent corner location with frontage to George's Lane, Brunswick Street and North King Street. The property comprises 11,772sq m (126,717sq ft) of office accommodation along with 63 secure underground car-parking spaces. The building is fully occupied and generating combined annual rental income of €3.895 million from a strong tenant line-up. About 90 per cent of the property is let to the Office of Public Works (OPW) and is occupied by a number of State agencies including the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa), and CORU, the regulatory body for heath and social care professionals. The weighted average unexpired lease term currently stands at about 7½ years to break and 12½ years to expiry. The Infinity Building last changed hands in January 2019 when it was acquired in an off-market transaction by a fund connected to Credit Suisse for about €57 million. The figure represented a 99 per cent jump on the €28.65 million its outgoing owner, a Norwegian investor, had paid to secure ownership of the property in April 2015. Some €5 million is understood to have been spent on the building's refurbishment between 2015 and 2019. READ MORE The Infinity Building is Corum's latest significant investment in the Dublin office market. In July 2023 the French-headquartered investor paid Henderson Park Capital €80 million for George's Quay House on Townsend Street in Dublin city centre and €30 million to Spear Street Capital for the F1 Building at Cherrywood in south Dublin respectively.

Man found guilty of murdering Halifax optician in December 2021
Police say Cymon Felix Cormier entered the business and attacked a staff member, identified by police as 55-year-old Tony Nader. A man has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a Halifax optician in December 2021. Justice Christa Brothers delivered the verdict Thursday morning, telling the court she found the fatal stabbing of 55-year-old Tony Nader to be planned and deliberate. She did not accept the defence's argument that the accused, Cymon Felix Cormier, was not criminally responsible. Nader was stabbed while at his workplace, Insight Optometry, on Brunswick Street the morning of Dec. 30, 2021. Another man was inside the business and tried to intervene. He too was attacked and sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Nader later died in hospital from his stab wounds. Cormier was arrested a short time later and charged with first-degree murder in Nader's death. He was also charged with aggravated assault for injuring the man who intervened. Cormier was found guilty Thursday of the lesser charge of assault causing bodily harm for attacking that man. More to come… For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
