A book of evidence will be served later this year on a woman charged with stealing more than €70,000 from TV chef Martin Shanahan who owns the award-winning Fishy Fishy restaurant in Kinsale, Co Cork . Nessa Gilsenan of Copper Beech House, Mellifontstown, Kinsale, who was an employee of the restaurant, was not required to appear before Bandon District Court in Co Cork on Monday. Her solicitor Daithi O'Donnabhain agreed to an application that was made by the State that Ms Gilsenan be remanded on continuing bail until September for service of the book of evidence. Judge Joanne Carroll remanded the accused on bail until her next court appearance on September 18th next. Ms Gilsenan (51) faces 132 charges that relate to theft and the alleged submitting of false documents. More than 110 charges are for theft while she faces additional charges relating to false documents. The charges are that Ms Gilsenan did steal property, to wit various sums of money from Fishy Fishy, the property of Mr Shanahan. The various sums she allegedly stole range from €82 to €1,650. READ MORE Ms Gilsenan is also charged that she dishonestly, with the intention of making a gain for herself or another, in furnishing information for her employer, for the purpose of weekly staff payroll approval, did produce or make use of a document made or acquired for accounting purposes that was misleading, false or deceptive in a material manner.

Keating strikes late as Na Piarsaigh end wait for championship victory
Na Piarsaigh recorded their first championship football victory since 2021 when they struck late to edge Kinsale in a thrilling Group 2 encounter in the McCarthy Insurance Group Cork PJFC in Ballymah on Saturday. Kinsale seemed to be set for victory when they led by 2-13 to 1-14 going into injury time, but a late, late goal from Alan Keating helped the northsiders snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Keating also contributed 0-4 to the cause while Keith Buckley hit Kinsale for 0-5, Michael Sheehan struck 1-1 and Sean Downey clipped 0-2. Kinsale will take heart from the 0-7 that their talisman, Brian Coughlan, kicked while two goals from Michael Murphy and 0-2 from James Murphy also helped put them into pole position. They will play Cullen in four weeks' time, with the Duhallow club sitting atop of the group thanks to their 2-18 to 0-13 win over Cobh in Mourneabbey on Friday. Luke Murphy was in imperious form for Cullen, as he kicked 0-8, including two two-pointers. Aaron Nolan helped himself to 1-2, Michael Twomey grabbed the other goal while Colin Walsh and Colin O'Leary both hit Cobh for 0-3. Buttevant signaled their intent in Group 3 with a 2-17 to 1-12 win over Glenville in Ballyhooley. Mark Lenehan was their scorer in chief with 0-7, David Hanlon clipped 0-5, Conor Hanlon helped himself to 1-2 while Aaron Horgan raised their other green flag. Colin O'Keeffe hit 1-1 for Glenville in a game that was closer than the result suggests, while Josh Cooke clipped 0-3 with Ciarán O'Leary and Callum O'Mahony both registering 0-2. Inniscarra marked their arrival to the competition with a 2-12 to 0-12 win over Millstreet in Donoughmore on Saturday night. Last year's JAFC winners proved that goals win matches with Cork hurling star, Seán O'Donoghue, and Stephen Dornan landing the crucial majors. Millstreet were overly reliant on the significant talents of Darragh Cashman, who kicked all but two points of their total. In Group 1, St Nicks and Ballydesmond played out a sensational 4-9 to 0-21 draw in Glantane on Sunday. Diarmuid Wall, Eoin O'Leary, Jake Brosnan and a penalty from Jack O'Sullivan raised the green flags for Nicks, but Ballydesmond stayed in touch thanks to a sensational 0-17 haul from the great Donncha O'Connor, including four two-pointers. His final score of the game put his side a point up deep into injury time, but St Nicks 'keeper, Ross Cronin, slotted over the equalizer. Canovee top Group 1 as a result of their 2-21 to 1-11 win over Urhan in Dunmanway. Conor Dodd and Sean O'Connor scored the goals for last year's beaten finalists, while Jack Kelleher top-scored with 0-10 and Aidan Moynihan clipped 0-5.

Why Kinsale Capital Stock Popped, Then Dropped Today
Key Points Kinsale's second-quarter earnings looked impressive across most metrics. However, increasing competition in the commercial property market, the company's largest insurance division, may have spooked investors. This cyclicality is nothing new for Kinsale, and the company remains diversified and robustly profitable. 10 stocks we like better than Kinsale Capital Group › Shares of specialty insurer Kinsale Capital Group (NYSE: KNSL) were flat as of 1 p.m. ET on Friday, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Kinsale, the only publicly traded insurer focused exclusively on the excess and surplus market (coverage for hard-to-place small and mid-size business risks), reported second-quarter earnings that exceeded analysts' expectations, prompting a 7% increase in its share price. Despite these impressive results, the company's price has dipped and is now flat, with the market worried about increasing competition in the commercial property industry. Steady performance in a challenging environment During the second quarter, Kinsale: increased gross written premiums (GWPs) by 5%. grew earnings per share by 45%. recorded a combined ratio of 76% (below 100% is profitable). delivered a return on equity of 33%. boosted investment income by 30%. Altogether, these were exceptional results. However, the company saw its largest insurance division -- commercial property -- post a 17% decline in GWPs compared to last year due to increased competition and lower pricing. This decrease appears to be the source of the market's trepidation. Yet, while Kinsale faced this headwind, the growth rates for the rest of its business increased by 14%. This performance highlights the diversification within its business, as it focuses on smaller accounts with hard-to-place risks that its mega peers have no interest in insuring. While GWP growth dipped below management's goal of annualized increases between 10% and 20%, I don't believe it is anything more than standard cyclicality in the excess-and-surplus insurance industry. Furthermore, during the second-quarter earnings call, CEO Michael Kehoe said that the company's "loss reserves have never been more conservatively stated than they are right now." This safety, paired with Kinsale's top-tier underwriting prowess, keeps the company a promising option for investors willing to hold for a decade and beyond.
