Brought to you by Discover Ireland. What comes to mind when you think about West Cork? Perhaps it’s the gorgeously rugged coastlines, picture-perfect boreens (where a traffic jam is likely just a flock of sheep), sumptuous seafood – cooked to perfection in a delightful gastro-pub in Schull, Skibbereen or Bantry – or the outstanding hospitality.

It’s very easy to come down on anyone who tells you they can’t give up two hours during exam season. Around this time every year, training pitches gradually empty as Leaving Certs, GCSEs, A-Levels and college exams start taking over. If you’re an underage coach, you’ve probably tried everything you can in your power to […]

It’s fairly grim being a millennial. The generation that went before us pretty much destroyed the economy and with it, our hopes and dreams. And, if the thought of debt, an eternity of renting and kale ice cream wasn’t enough to make millennialism suck, a new study has concluded that we all have terrible sex lives […]
