    Kylie Jenner Revealed Her Second Child With Travis Scott’s Name: “Wolf Webster”

    Of course, there was a ton of speculation surrounding their son’s name — with names like Angel and Cloudy floating around the internet.

    Travis himself is currently in the middle of a ton of controversy after he “liked” Kanye West’s Instagram post yesterday demanding that Billie Eilish apologize for saying, “I wait for people to be OK until I keep going” while helping a fan out at her concert — which she seemingly denied was a reference to Travis at Astroworld.

    This also comes a day after Eve and Maximillion Cooper announced that they’d also given their son a wolf-y name: Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers Cooper.

    Thanks for reading! We will keep you posted.

  • The expenses incurred by the Garda for safeguarding the Russian embassy surpass €210,000 in overtime payments, in addition to the costs associated with regular rostered duties.

    The expenses incurred by the Garda for safeguarding the Russian embassy surpass €210,000 in overtime payments, in addition to the costs associated with regular rostered duties.

    Since the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Garda operation conducted near the Russian embassy in south Dublin has resulted in overtime costs exceeding €200,000. Nonetheless, the total expenses associated with safeguarding the embassy and its personnel are significantly greater, as the majority of Gardaí stationed there are fulfilling their regular rostered duties rather than working overtime.

    Throughout the majority of the previous 14 months, the primary objective of the Garda operation has been to ensure a noticeable presence and manage the opening and closing of a security barrier for the entry and exit of the embassy’s staff in their vehicles. Since the barrier is located just outside the embassy compound, the responsibility for its operation lies with the Garda rather than the Russians, who maintain their own security measures within the compound.

    According to reliable sources, during a period last year when the Garda operation reached its highest level due to a surge in anti-Russian sentiment in the Republic following the invasion, the monthly cost of maintaining the Garda presence outside the embassy on Orwell Road, Rathgar, ranged from €50,000 to €100,000.

    According to the sources, the reason for the high expenditure was the significant deployment of gardaí during that period. Additionally, a command-and-control center, which was staffed by additional Gardaí, was temporarily established at the site in case a substantial policing response was necessary to control potential public disorder.

    Nevertheless, in the time that followed, the number of people assembling outside the embassy has diminished, although a small faction of anti-Russia demonstrators continues to convene on a daily basis. They vocalize anti-war and anti-Russian statements while displaying signs, as the Russian personnel enter and exit the premises in their vehicles. Occasionally, larger gatherings occur, necessitating an augmented Garda presence for several hours on such occasions.

    Although the permanent Garda deployment has been reduced since March and April of last year, which includes the dismantling of the command-and-control unit, there is still a continuous 24-hour Garda presence in effect. Maintaining a single member of the force at any static Garda post necessitates deploying five or six gardaí on a full-time basis. Multiple shifts of gardaí are required within each 24-hour period, taking into account rest periods and annual leave as well.

    Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a lasting Garda presence was established in March of the previous year, triggered by an incident where a vehicle was intentionally driven in reverse into the embassy gates. Russian ambassador Yury Filatov expressed dissatisfaction at that time, asserting that the Garda were not adequately ensuring the safety of him and his staff.

    Durable barriers were installed permanently outside the embassy, and initially, a Garda vehicle was stationed at the entrance of the embassy compound. It was relocated as needed whenever a Russian embassy vehicle required entry or exit. Subsequently, a movable steel barrier, specifically designed to withstand impact from a large vehicle, was erected. The responsibility for operating and managing this barrier for the Russians lies with the Gardaí present at the site, who are in charge of its opening and closing.

  • Meta loses legal dispute with European Commission over its request for document delivery

    Meta loses legal dispute with European Commission over its request for document delivery

    The tech giant Meta lost a legal battle before the European Court of Justice over the European Commission’s request for information to be turned up in order to look into possible anti-competitive behaviour by the Facebook group.

    The second-highest court in the EU dismissed Meta Platforms Ireland’s lawsuit, finding that its legal arguments “proved to be unfounded.”

    A press release from the court stated that “The court dismisses the action in its entirety.”

    The EU executive ordered Meta to turn over all documents handled by three of its managers in 2020 that contained specific terms and issued a warning that failing to comply may result in a €8 million daily penalties.

    On the grounds that the Commission had overstepped its bounds and that the required papers were either unnecessary or may violate employees’ privacy, Meta appealed to the court to set aside the ruling.

    The search results included “very common words” like “big question,” “for free,” “shut down,” and “not good for us,” the court was told.

    Meta stated that the Commission’s investigation was contrary to the concept of necessity, was not sufficiently clear or consistent, and would require the corporation to turn over a large number of confidential or unnecessary records.

    According to Meta, the court heard that the documents obtained materials “containing private correspondence of employees concerning medical and autopsy reports and correspondence of employees at times of great personal distress”,

    According to testimony given in court, the Commission’s initial request included 83 distinct questions on Facebook Marketplace, social networking sites, and online classified ad suppliers. According to the court, the Commission requested 729,417 papers in all.

    Costs for Meta were mandated.

  • Under new legislation, alcohol labels must include health warnings and calorie information.

    Under new legislation, alcohol labels must include health warnings and calorie information.

    Stephen Donnelly, the Minister of Health, has signed new laws that mandates all alcoholic beverages list their calorie and alcohol content.

    Additionally, all labels will be required by the laws to include a warning about the dangers of drinking alcohol while expecting, as well as the dangers of liver illness and cancers.

    According to Mr. Donnelly, the goal of the new law is to inform customers about alcohol content and health hazards related to alcohol consumption.

    According to him, labels for food products already include health information, and alcohol is only being brought up to par.

    He did, however, clarify that the new law would take effect in May 2026, giving businesses three years to get prepared.

    Alcohol Action Ireland applauded the new rules, pointing out that 7% of female breast cancer cases in Ireland have been suggested to be related to alcohol usage.

    Minister Donnelly stated: “I welcome that we are the first country in the world to take this step and introduce comprehensive health labelling of alcohol products. I look forward to other countries following our example.”

    Professor Eamon Keenan, the National Clinical Lead for Addiction Services at the HSE, expressed support for the labelling plans on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland.

    He claimed that doctors and other organisations have long pushed for the modification.

    Professor Keenan stated: “innovative approach” will help educate people about the risks of alcohol and he believes other countries will follow suit.

    “We’re going to be able to get information out to people about the risks and harms associated with alcohol, as well,” he said.

    “So we would welcome this very much.”

  • RTE’s Emer O’Neill announces she’s pregnant with baby number three

    RTE’s Emer O’Neill announces she’s pregnant with baby number three

    Congratulations are in order for RTE’s Emer O’Neill as she announced she is pregnant with baby number three.

    The host of Keep It Up took to Instagram to share the happy news with followers, with many delighted for the broadcaster.

    Emer and her husband Sean O’Neill are already parents to son Ky and daughter Sunny Rae.

    Sharing a sweet snap of her growing bump, Emer wrote; ‘Baby ONeill #3 coming this September.’

    Fans and famous friends of the star were quick to share their love at the good news, with Erica Cody writing; ‘Delighted for you!’

    ‘Awhhh congratulations, wonderful news xx,’ the style fair, Naoimi Clarke added, while another fan shared the sentiment, commenting; ‘Delighted sonny is going to be a big sister.’

    Emer’s pregnancy news comes after she opened up about parenthood and her own mother’s struggle as a single parent.

    Ireland is familiar with Emer O’Neill’s story, having to face racism in her own hometown of Bray and wanting to shield her children from the trauma she endured as a child.

    Growing up in 1980s Ireland, both she and her mother Phyl were subject to discrimination; Emer for being mixed-race and her mother for being a single parent of a mixed-race child.

    Despite the hardship both came out fighting, with the basketball coach praising Phyl for her strength.

    She was a single parent from the onset; she was faced with pregnancy at a time where she wasn’t stable in her life as far as financially or having a home, having a full-time job position,’ Emer told extra.ie.

    ‘For her to be able to buy a house, get a full-time job as a nurse, and be able to support us all the way through… She made sure I had every opportunity that everybody else had, even as a single parent.’
