Cork woman in court over allegedly smuggling drugs into prison
Megan Walsh, 29, has six charges against her that were allegedly committed on July 25. A Cork woman appeared in court on drugs charges today after she was caught trying to smuggle them into a prison. Appearing at Ballymena Magistrates Court by video link from police custody, 29-year-old Megan Walsh confirmed she understood the six charges against her, alleged to have been committed on 25 July this year. Walsh, from Brook Avenue in Cork, faces two charges of conveying list A articles into HMP Magilligan, two charges of importing cannabis and pregabalin and possessing the Class B and Class C drugs. Stock image: Getty News in 90 Seconds - July 26th The court heard how Walsh was visiting a male at HMP Magilligan when two 'wraps' fell from her handbag. Those were seized and were found to contain herbal cannabis and 'buds,' a slang term for pregabalin. Arrested and interviewed, Walsh admitted she had got the train from Dundalk to Grand Central Station where she met a man and he gave her the two wraps. Walsh also admitted 'she wasn't sure what was inside them but she knew it was illegal,' District Judge Peter Magill told the court, adding that she 'refused to provide' any details or description of the man she met. Having heard that Walsh has a clear record, the judge highlighted that 'here's the thing, if this goes on indictment that will take a considerable period of time.' 'Even if she pleads guilty, it will take months to get to a Crown Court and with a clear record, I'm not sure she will get a custodial sentence but by the time it's dealt with, she will have served a significant custodial sentence,' Judge Magill explained. Defence counsel Gavin Cairns suggested that Walsh could be bailed to reside with her friend in Enniskillen, even in the short term, and that would allow her to find an alternative accommodation 'or to lodge a cash surety to alleviate police concerns.' Granting bail in the sum of £250 with a condition that Walsh resides at Villa Terrace in Enniskillen, Judge Magill warned that if Walsh chose to go back to Cork without permission, 'if she's foolish enough to do that,' she runs the risk of being held in custody while 'potentially drawn out' extradition proceedings are set in train. The case was adjourned to 18 August.

Disability and Dating: Looking for Love
For people that are on apps and stuff, can you stop writing preferences of height in your bio? I think it's a horrible standard we're throwing with the height thing, because this is literally the one thing you can't control. Imaan Hadchiti When I'm dating someone, I receive a lot of stares, misguided compliments, like how beautiful and it's so nice to see, which implies that my dates are doing me a service by dating me! Alex Reimers Also Joining the conversation is Megan Walsh - researcher at Murdoch Children's Research Institute and experienced speech pathologist who specialises in working with people who use Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC). Megan discusses how people who use AAC are often excluded from romantic opportunities due to harmful misconceptions and infantilisation and offers insight into what needs to change to create a more inclusive dating world. It's understanding that people with disabilities, including AAC users, can be and are people who can have great sex. There's so much that we can all learn from the way disabled people have sex and the way disabled people go about dating.

Edinburgh set for top-rated Chinese restaurant Zhima as bosses tease new location
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The hospitality group behind a popular Chinese restaurant 'loved by Scotland's top influencers' are set to open a new eatery in Edinburgh. Zhima, in Glasgow, recently celebrated it's one-year anniversary in the Scottish city and bosses have already set their sights on a second location in the capital. Launched in April 2024 by Hunky Dory Dining Group, Zhima has received rave reviews in Glasgow's late-night dining scene, serving up a modern Chinese menu with Cantonese, Hunan and Sichaun dishes. The restaurant opened on St Vincent Place, replacing the former Prezzo site and has since been hailed by the likes of Jamie Genevieve, Megan Walsh and Ava Black. Restaurant bosses have put emphasis on presentation and detail by making the venue pictureesque with plush booth seating and a vibrant cocktail bar. The co-founder of Hunky Dory Dining Group has now revealed a restaurant in Edinburgh is an option they are exploring in the not too distant future, saying it is "definitely" on their radar. Paul Sloan said: 'It's been an emotional journey. Launching a new concept always comes with a risk, especially one that diverges from our established brands. But the response has been overwhelming. We wanted to create something new for Glasgow - a space that offered design, service and cuisine in one elevated experience - and our guests have embraced that. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages 'Our proudest moment was last December. It was a record month across the group, and to hit those heights with a new team, a new brand, and a labour-intensive kitchen, was a huge achievement.' 'Zhima isn't like anything else we've done. It's more intimate, more refined. Guests tell us it feels private and special. That was the goal. We wanted to offer a sense of occasion, a venue where people could dress up and dine late, right in the heart of the city. 'We had a vision of creating a late-night space where people could dress up and experience something special. I think Zhima has proven that the city was ready for that.' Looking ahead to year two, Sloan confirms the brand is set to grow, with plans for expansion beyond Glasgow already underway: 'A restaurant like Zhima belongs in major cities. Edinburgh is definitely on our radar, and we can see it happening in the not so distant future. 'What we've proven here is that the appetite exists for this kind of elevated, late-night Chinese dining. We set out to create something special, and when you see how hard it is to get a booking most nights, you know it's struck a chord. That's the kind of excitement we want to build on.'
