One in 50 priests is a pervert, says Pope

Child abuse shame of the Catholic church

THE Catholic Church is riddled with thousands of paedophile priests, the Pope said yesterday. Its roll of shame, which Pope Francis called ‘a leprosy in our house’, included ‘priests, bishops and cardinals’. Data suggested one in 50 of the church’s 400,000-plus priests

Later, the Vatican attempted to row back on the claims, accusing Scalfari’s paper of trying to ‘manipulate naive readers Also yesterday, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, admitted more child abuse cases were likely to emerge from the Church of England.

Ireland to feel heat like the Canaries IRELAND is forecast to be hotter than Santa Cruz de La Palma, in the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa, by midweek. A ‘Spanish plume’ of hot air is set to bring highs of up to 27C – the country’s hottest temperature of the year. Met Éireann forecast ‘humid’ temperatures climbing from 19C yesterday to 23C today, with the ‘mid-20s’ from midweek, hottest inland. Irish Weather Online also forecast 25C on Wednesday and 27C on Thursday. Met Éireann said there would also be a mix of sunny spells, damper cloudy periods and thundery showers, with ‘significant’ rainfall threatening from Friday. The highest temperature of the year to date – June 17’s 27.1C at Newport, Co Mayo, is expected to be topped. Met Éireann added: ‘Maximum temperatures will rise day by day, so that some areas inland experience values in the mid-20s.’ Forecaster Pat Clarke said: ‘It will be warm and humid through the week, with the potential for higher than the low 20s. ‘There will be some nice, sunny conditions, but also weather fronts pushing in and the potential for thundery downpours.’ Channel 4 weatherman Liam Dutton said: ‘Winds around Atlantic low pressure will pump hot and humid air north from Spain.’

Siptu’s rejection of Irish Rail plan ‘disappointing’ NEW Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe has said he is ‘disappointed’ with Siptu’s rejection of the Labour Court recommendation on cost saving measures at Irish Rail. Members of the union voted on Friday by 53 per cent to reject the plan which would see pay cuts for a 25-month period. Siptu organiser Paul Cullen said the result means the union ‘does not have a mandate from its members to engage in any further negotiations with

by JOAnnE AHERn the management of Irish Rail which include any pay reductions’. Speaking to Metro Herald last night, he said Siptu is waiting to hear back from Irish Rail before taking any action but its strike threat if pay cuts are imposed still stands. The TSSA, TEEU and Unite have accepted the Labour Court plan, while the NBRU withdrew from the process.

Speaking on RTÉ’s This Week programme, Minister Donohoe said that over the coming days he would be ‘reviewing the ballot and determining the best way forward’. Rejecting an idea that the cost cutting should be looked at in light of increased passenger numbers, he said that accumulated losses of more than €200million at Irish Rail create ‘great challenges for us and we need to put in place a basis to make sure we can afford what we

have and what we need in the future’. Irish Rail said the Siptu decision is ‘very much regretted, given the financial crisis the company is experiencing’. It reiterated its stance that the savings are ‘essential’ to prevent the company from becoming insolvent, as well as protecting its staff and services. Mr Donohoe was appointed Minister for Tourism, Transport and Sport in last Friday’s cabinet reshuffle.

12th of July events Higgins pays tribute ‘relatively peaceful’ to Ireland’s war dead POLICE, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers and senior politicians have lauded a peaceful Twelfth of July. Thousands of loyal Orange order members commemorated the occasion, but there was virtually no confrontation and the flashpoint Ardoyne parade in North Belfast ended without violence. The Parades Commission decided loyal order members should not be allowed to continue past the contested section of Ardoyne. Last year a similar decision sparked loyalist rioting and battles with police. Ms Villiers (pictured) said: ‘The Orange Order and unionist leaders are to be commended for their intensive work to bring that about. Nationalist leaders also played their part in working hard to defuse local tensions.’ Sinn Féin’s Gerry Adams said the fact that Twelfth events had passed off relatively peacefully will have been ‘a relief to people across Northern Ireland’.

PRESIDENT Michael D Higgins has laid a wreath for Ireland’s war dead during an interfaith commemoration in Dublin. The Last Post was sounded and a single cannon shot fired in remembrance of men and women killed during armed conflict including the Great War. Taoiseach Enda Kenny and ministers attended the ceremony at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. ‘It is fitting that we remember all those Irish men and women who died in past wars or in service with the UN,’ Mr Kenny said, ‘in particular all those who died in the Great War.’ Irish UN servicemen were also commemorated at the event, which also saw Minister for Trade and Development Joe Costello announce €1million in funding to tackle violence against women and girls during contemporary conflicts or natural disasters.

Hamas uses Hebrew to warn Israel of attack HAMAS militants gave Israel just an hour’s notice of a rocket attack on Tel Aviv – using ‘unprecedented psychological warfare’ by making the announcement in Hebrew. The Islamists were trying to raise morale among Gazans, after 160 Palestinians were killed in six days. Warning sirens blared across Tel Aviv, with hundreds taking shelter in schools and shopping centres. In a Gaza mosque, loudspeakers boomed: ‘Our rockets have struck!’ The roars of men and boys arose, as they proclaimed ‘God is great!’

Mass funeral: A boy mourns as 18 people from the same family are buried in Gaza City. They were relatives of Taysir al-Batsh, a police chief in the region. An Israeli warplane flattened his home and damaged a nearby mosque, with 50 people wounded. It was the deadliest bombing since Israel launched its offensive to end Palestinian rocket fire into its territory

by DANIEL BINNS No rockets hit Tel Aviv. They were either shot down by the Iron Dome interceptor or fell harmlessly on open ground. Israel claims none of its civilians have been killed. The tough rhetoric did not seem to faze Israelis, who cheered as rockets were blown up. Families in Gaza are house-bound, fearful of Israeli reprisals.

The head of the recovery operation, Franco Gabrielli, said yesterday that the weather was good enough to start moving the ship to the mainland. The capsized liner was righted last year.

Let’s look at brooks crux

Minister Kelly calls for ‘measured review’ to avoid repeat of Croke park gig fiasco

by jOAnnE AHERn ENVIRONMENT Minister Alan Kelly has promised ‘a wholesale review’ of how major events are handled following the Garth Brooks debacle. Ruling out emergency legislation as a means of getting the concerts back on track, he said the review will be carried out in a measured way ‘as opposed to carrying it out in a rushed manner that is in neither the interests of concert-goers, residents or the planning system in general’. Mr Kelly’s announcement comes as some 400,000 Garth Brooks fans have been left in limbo for more than a week after Dublin City Council refused a licence for two of his five concerts planned for Croke Park at the end of this month. Talks have been ongoing since the country singer declared he would play all five gigs or none at all. Mr Kelly added that emergency legislation ‘would not solve the issue and may even jeopardise any concert taking place’. He added that amending the legislation Dublin City Council based its decision on ‘could open up all the concerts to a legal challenge’ and ‘would only serve to make an already bad situation worse’. He called on all sides to engage with each other over the next 48 hours and said he will be taking firm steps ‘to ensure we will never be at this ridiculous juncture again’. Meanwhile, Ticketmaster has said it is postponing issuing refunds on Garth Brooks tickets until Thursday, as it ‘understands that negotiations to try and find a resolution to the Garth Brooks concerts situation are still ongoing’. ‘As a result, Ticketmaster will be delaying commencement of the refunds process until Thursday. We would ask fans to be patient and to hold on to their tickets for now.’

it’s true – stress can Shortfall in investment cause weight gain threat to software jobs IT’S not only reaching for comfort food that makes you put on weight after a stressful day. Being anxious and worried actually seems to slow your metabolism, new research shows. Stressed women burned 104 fewer calories than care-free colleagues seven hours after being given the same meal. Over a year, that could mean piling on an extra 5kg (11lb). The 58 middle-aged women in the US study were asked about stressful events the day before, which ranged from arguments at work to family problems. Just six said they had not been stressed.

They were then asked to eat turkey, eggs and American gravy and biscuits – similar to savoury scones – containing 930 calories and 60g of fat, roughly the same as a double burger and fries. As well as burning fewer calories, the stressed women were also found to have higher levels of insulin, which meant they stored more fat. Lead scientist Jan KiecoltGlaser, from Ohio State University, said: ‘This means that, over time, stress could lead to weight gain.’ Nutritionist Prof Martha Belury advised women to avoid comfort food after getting stressed.

IRELAND could lose out on thousands of jobs in the software industry because of a skills and investment shortage, a new report suggests. The Irish Software Landscape study was conducted by Lero, the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre. Lero chief scientist Professor Brian Fitzgerald said: ‘The companies surveyed have increased the numbers involved in software development by 30 per cent in the past three years. ‘However, given the shortage of suitably skilled workers domestically, there is a danger that thousands of jobs could

be created overseas rather than in Ireland.’ He also called on the Government to review ‘investment and taxation policies’ to make sure the country does not lose out. He said: ‘The study confirms Ireland hosts a vibrant software industry with potential to be a global leader, but the UK has now moved ahead of it in incentivising investment and a number of Eastern European countries have eliminated income tax for software employees. ‘Ireland needs to review its current investment and taxation policies to ensure it does not lose out.’

Olympic champion ‘sincerely thankful’ for public support following TV revelation

Thorpedo: My relief at coming out at last by sHAROn MARRis

SWIMMING legend Ian Thorpe has thanked supporters after he announcing he is gay. The Australian sports star, who came out during a TV interview with Michael Parkinson, has long faced questions about his sexual orientation. And yesterday, after receiving an outpouring of support, the 31-year-old said: ‘To everyone who has sent a message of support, I sincerely thank you!’ The five-time Olympic gold medal winner – dubbed the Thorpedo – previously denied being gay. But speaking on Australia’s Network Ten, he said it was only ‘very recently’ that he felt comfortable discussing his sexuality and he ‘did not want young people to feel the same way’ he had. ‘I’ve wanted to for some time,’ he told Parkinson. ‘I couldn’t – I didn’t feel as though I could. ‘Yes, I lied about it. But I’m comfortable saying I’m a gay man. My parents

Opening up: The athlete (right) told Parkinson he only recently told his family told me that they love me and that they support me.’ Gary Lineker hailed his revelation as ‘brave’. The former footballer tweeted: ‘Well done @IanThorpe on your “coming out”. Look, mate, it was a brave and right decision. Good luck to you.’ And former Wales star Gareth Thomas – the first openly gay professional rugby

union player – wrote: ‘Never question it. Support it. A happy man today.’ Thorpe said his ‘big secret’ had contributed to the depression he suffered over the years. ‘Part of me didn’t know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay,’ he added. ‘But I’m telling the world that I am.’

Campbell gets canned as The Face is pulled Sky ditches catwalk queen after one series HER fiery temper is legendary, so you have to feel sorry for the TV executive whose job it was to tell Naomi Campbell her talent hunt show The Face is being canned. Guilty Pleasures can reveal Sky Living has pulled the plug on the supermodel’s show after just one series – because it is ‘too expensive’ to make. The 44-year-old’s search for the next catwalk star failed spectacularly from the off – as just 132,000 viewers tuned in for the first show, in September last year. And with an all-star cast – that included fellow supermodels Erin O’Connor and Caroline Winberg – Sky TV bosses have decided they can’t justify the expense it would take to make a second season. A show insider revealed: ‘The show is an expensive one to make and there were also difficulties with Naomi’s availability.’ ‘She’s too busy all the time so it was becoming impossible to fit it into her life.’ The source added: ‘Bosses didn’t want to give the show another try without Naomi, so decided to scrap it completely.’ Campbell was hoping her show could win more fans after the

But judging by her first run out on the show Down Under, Campbell’s in for another bumpy ride – after she fell out with Aussie model Nicole Trunfio, 27. ‘She (Campbell) is a character,’ said Trunfio. ‘I’m all about respect, dignity and doing the right thing. Filming those kinds of shows, there’s a lot of people involved and turning up late... it’s just different.’

Facebook eight face up to 21yrs A GANG of eight Facebook activists have been jailed for up to 21 years in Iran, it was revealed yesterday. They were accused of plotting against national security, spreading propaganda and insulting officials. None of the convicted was named but all of those sentenced in April will serve a minimum of eight years. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are banned in Iran.

SCIENTISTS have created the ‘new black’ – and it’s so dark it’s like gazing into a black hole. The material, called Vantablack, absorbs all but 0.035 per cent of visual light – a new world record. It is so dark that the human eye cannot understand what it is

seeing, as all shapes and contours are hidden.

gloria gaynor, 64, had a worldwide hit in 1979 with disco classic I Will Survive, and has since survived the vagaries of the ruthless record industry

this sporting wife

How many times have you sung I Will Survive? Hundreds

of times. I’ve been singing it for 35 years at every show I’ve done. I never get tired of singing it. I can be certain the audience will enjoy that song and sing along to it and it gives them hope and encouragement.

You’ve written a book about how the song inspires people. It’s 40 stories from people

about how the song has encouraged them to make it through very difficult circumstances in their lives. There’s one story from someone who saw his entire village murdered in Africa when he was seven. He survived and was adopted by a family but he didn’t feel he was able to love them until he heard my song, which opened his heart.

and the bad thing with conglomerates is no one cares. The people working on your music aren’t really involved with you – they get paid the same salary if you have a hit or not.

That sounds like a depressing situation. It is. That’s why I don’t have a record label. I’m doing things on my own now. The thing about the record company business is that they cater to the young – because they think they’re mindless and will accept whatever they’re fed. Record companies think about the quick buck. Once you’re over 35 and are unwilling to be naked you’re tossed to the side.

ATCHIng the World Cup on TV, you would think the only fans going to matches were young, hot women. Every goal scored, the camera seemed to focus on yet another in an endless supply of fresh-faced beauties, every missed penalty, some dusky eyed female’s tears were the ones that made it onto the screen, males nowhere to be seen. now I’m too lazy to go looking for statistics on what percentage of World Cup football fans were men and what percentage were women, but I’m pretty sure it was not the near 100 per cent female crowds represented on the telly. And if they are all the absolute stunners the cameras were panning to for crowd reaction every time the referee awarded an unfair free kick, then I’m going to the wrong games. Because the only cleavage I’ve ever seen at a football match is some builder on his day off whose arse is spilling over his jeans. This, I believe, is what is known as ‘sexism’. Look it up. Interesting also the case of Axelle Despiegelaere, the 17-year-old Belgian fan plucked out of the crowd by the internet to find a modelling contract with a global cosmetics firm waiting for her at home. She found it mysteriously vanishing almost as quickly as it was offered after a picture of her posing with a rifle and a dead onyx antelope on safari in Africa surfaced. With that Facebook picture, on the day the team she was so passionate about were to beat the USA 2-1, the teenager had written: ‘Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It’s much more important than that… this was about 1 year ago… ready to hunt Americans today haha.’ Whatever you think about hunt-

Mad about the Boy(hood) T Patricia Arquette’s new film aged her 12 years. It’s an unnerving watch, she tells James Mottram Bringing Out The Dead. her first child, enzo – courtesy of her relationship with Argentinian musician Paul rossi – was 13; now he’s all grown up. her daughter harlow, now 11, was yet to be born. And her relationship with harlow’s father, actor Thomas Jane, was just in its infancy: they got engaged in 2002, married four years later and divorced in 2011. It’s why, when she finally saw Boyhood completed, the memories flooded back. ‘When I saw the movie, it was not just [about] us getting older or the kids getting older – it was, oh, that’s when I got a divorce, or that’s when Lorelei’s sisters were born, the twins. Or that’s when ellar’s parents split up. Or that’s when I got married. Or I was working on Medium, I’m so exhausted. so I’m seeing these layers.’

he middle child of five, the Chicago-born Arquette’s own upbringing was far less conventional than what’s seen in Boyhood. ‘I grew up for a while in a hippy commune, so we were really poor,’ she says. ‘We had one pair of shoes in the winter and they were gone by the summertime, when we didn’t really need them. I was very connected to nature like that, roaming around the wild woods. I’d catch snakes, lizards.’ Oh, and she loved the Wild West. ‘When I was a kid growing up, all the boys had crushes on Farrah Fawcett, that bathing-suit picture. But for me it was cowboys.’ her entry into showbiz, however, seemed predetermined. her grandfather was comedian Cliff Arquette. her mother Brenda was an actress and a poet, and her father Lewis was a director and actor (in shows such as The Waltons). ‘I got to see the bulls*** of the industry,’ she admits. Nevertheless, it didn’t put her off. Nor her siblings – rosanna, Alexis, richmond and David – who all act. As the eldest, rosanna was the biggest influence on Patricia.

REX

here’s one word Patricia Arquette uses to describe seeing herself in her new film, Boyhood: brutal. One of the most unique movies ever made, this coming-ofage drama about a young Texan boy and his family has been shot over 12 years, allowing us to watch the characters grow, evolve and age over time. Which, if you’re a 46year-old actress in an industry that prides beauty above all else, can be tough. ‘Visually, it’s pretty brutalising,’ she says, ‘I’ll tell you that right now.’ Dressed in jeans, polka dot blouse and platform heels, to give her 5ft 2in hourglass frame a little extra lift, Arquette may not be quite the blonde bombshell she was when she made films such as True romance, Lost highway and ed Wood in the 1990s. Yet she’s being a little harsh on herself. After spending seven years on TV’s Medium – winning Golden Globe and emmy nominations as the supernaturally gifted Allison DuBois – perhaps it’s the shock of seeing herself on the big screen again. either way, Arquette knows Boyhood has been worth it. ‘emotionally it’s exactly what we all wanted,’ she says. Directed by richard Linklater, who made the beloved Before sunrise and its sequels, the film is nothing short of miraculous, spanning a dozen years in the life of Mason (ellar Coltrane), sister samantha (Lorelei Linklater, the director’s daughter) and their parents Olivia (Arquette) and Mason snr (ethan hawke), who begin the film by separating. every year, Arquette would head down to Austin, Texas, to shoot for a few days, adding to the story, as Olivia struggles with being a single mother. The way Arquette talks, in that soft drawl of hers, she cherishes the experience dearly. ‘I was worried about letting the world participate in seeing this movie,’ she says. ‘I loved it already, I cared about it already, I felt fiercely protective of it, and rick and the kids, and I felt so grateful of the experience – so I was really nervous.’ To put it into context, Arquette was 34 when she started; she’d just finalised her divorce from Nicolas Cage, with whom she made 1999’s

Long game: Patricia Arquette and her co-stars age visibly in Boyhood (above and below left), with filming taking place for a few days a year ‘she was the first person to put make-up on me,’ she says. ‘We have a similar wildness about us.’ While rosanna was busy coming to fame opposite Madonna in

Desperately seeking susan, it automatically gave Patricia a lift. ‘My sister was already acting, so it was easier to get first meetings – “oh, it’s rosanna Arquette’s sister, well, what does she look like? Oh, you don’t look much like your sister, audition for this…” Then I started getting parts. I know the door was more open to me because of my sister, definitely.’ scoring her first role in 1987’s A Nightmare On elm street 3, Arquette admits acting didn’t come naturally to her. ‘I was very scared of it,’ she says. ‘I was a mixture of introverted and extroverted all at the same time. so I was terrified of it, but I also did want to tell human stories.’

And do that she did, with some of the world’s finest directors, Tim Burton, David Lynch, Martin scorsese included. More recently, if her film career has been on the back-burner, she’s turned to TV, from her lead role in Medium to the part of sassy speakeasy owner sally in Boardwalk empire. her ‘love affair’ with acting hasn’t diminished. ‘We’ve been together a long time now,’ she laughs. ‘I get frustrated, we get in fights all the time! But I think our thing is deepening. It’s still very elusive, this lover of mine.’ And after Boyhood, they’re stronger than ever.

Boyhood is in cinemas now.

The 32-year-old, aka Elliot Gleave, once said the sole reason his 2007 debut LP was rooted in hip-hop was because the only producer he knew worked in that genre. He’s moved a million miles from his early hip-hop/grime template, evolving through rave, electro house, dubstep and dance rock, gradually phasing out his rapping in favour of singing and racking up a staggering number of chart-topping singles and LPs along the way. Album number five completes the rapditching process. Live Life Living is as

Their future’s in the past hen the volatile young Welshmen’s blistering debut album, Generation Terrorists, was released in 1992, few could have predicted that, nearly a quarter of a century later, the Manic Street Preachers would have become veritable statesmen of British rock without ever appearing to go through the motions or to have lost any of their incendiary fire. This outing, however, gives us a truly fresh kind of Manics. Released a swift nine months after the warm, nostalgic Rewind The Film (the two records were initially conceived as parts of a whole), this is a different beast entirely: a propulsive, electronicinfused album, recorded in Berlin’s legendary hansa studio, that draws creatively on Krautrock and dark 1980s post-punk pop influences. Walk Me To The Bridge, which kicks off with an echoing stomp and bursts out into shimmering glam rock, seems unmistakably to talk about the missing (presumed dead) Manics member Richey edwards, whose car was found near the Severn Bridge in 1995, although the band state it’s actually inspired by feelings stirred up by crossing the epic Øresund Bridge spanning Sweden and Denmark. The dark disco of europa Geht Durch Mich marks a Goldfrapp-esque moment of elegance, while Sex, Power, Love And Money is a punchy punk-rock squaller. Any given Manics track comes loaded with a small museum’s worth of interrelated ideas and references, and here Black Square is a song inspired by avant-garde Russian artist Kazimir Malevich’s seminal and self-explanatory painting of the same name.

Maximum impact: Example

existence-affirming as the title suggests – its dozen tunes are built on a big, Ibiza clubfriendly scale, stuffed with killer hooks, swollen with synths and featuring massive breakdowns signalled minutes in advance to maximise their impact. Mercifully, this overfamiliar style of rave-pop is undercut by Example’s lyrics, frank reflections on growing up, changing his ways and how he might stay happy over life’s long haul. Much of the record suggests he’s been listening to his Kasabian records again and has dusted off his Erasure and Crystal Castles collections too. Only Human is a dark Euro-trance thumper, At Night suggests something Robbie Williams would love to try but doesn’t dare and One More Day (Stay With Me) and 10 Million People are a couple of arms-aloft anthems. ‘Ten million people can’t be wrong,’ Example sings on the latter, presumably referring to his future fan base. sharon O’Connell

Dennis Kelly’s atmospheric conspiracy thriller left a lot of questions unanswered when it signed off so here, before the story picks up again, we travel back in time to 1974 and meet troubled young scientist Philip Carvel (Tom Burke, above). His ingenious plan to prevent global overpopulation makes him very hot property, the seedbed for a futuristic nightmare set in the past.

Free yyour mind and your ass will follo follow. They may be George Clin Clinton’s words but it could also be Theo P Parrish’s manifesto. Although he he’s far less flamboyant, Parr Parrish has much more in common w with Clinton than the techno sc scene that he’s often lumped in into – making dance music that’s tha designed as much as a soundtrack to mental emancipation from the gritty realities of life in his adopted home of Detroit as it is to cutting loose. Behind the decks, Parrish has to be heard to be believed – mixing and shaping music with the hand of a true artisan. His wide-ranging palette draws on everything from the house sounds of Chicago, where he grew up, to the funk and jazz of the 1970s, and his own exclusive re-edits of tracks by artists such as Jill Scott. He’s sure to send his punters as deep into the dancing as he does into his own thoughts for this live set at The Sugar Club where he’s joined by a full band.

Getting away from your desk the only way to really refuel

T’S one o’clock, you have a sky-high pile of files on your desk and your email inbox is rapidly approaching its capacity. Looks like it will be another ready-made packet sandwich at your desk this lunch break. Workplaces are becoming increasingly pressurised with employees working longer hours and through lunch breaks. ‘Working extra hours and through lunch has become the norm for over half of the workforce,’ according to the Aviva Workplace Health, citing research from the University of Minnesota which shows this type of time strain has significant effects on psychological and physical health. Deirdre Cronnelly, director of Afresh – a well-being business that works with companies to keep them energised, motivated and productive – said it is absolutely necessary for workers to take their lunch break and get away from their desk. Afresh has worked with companies such as KPMG, McDonald’s, Dublin Bus and the ESB to promote work-life balance initiatives. Taking adequate ‘down time’ during the working day is paramount to being a productive worker, says Cronnelly. ‘Given the increasing demands in the workplace, many employees are eating breakfast and lunch at their desk. Whilst it’s always good to take a break and refresh, only 11 per cent of employees are actually interested in a regular lunch break,’ she said. Cronnelly explained that the body

There may never be enough hours in the day for many of us, but it’s vital to make sure you take time for LUNCH, writes Christina Finn works in cycles often referred to as the ‘ultradian rhythm’, 90 to 120minute cycles during which our bodies slowly shift from a high energy state to a physiological slump. ‘We notice this by getting hungry, yawning and getting fidgety. Consequently if we don’t break, our energy depletes throughout the day. If we take a quality break, even of ten or 15 minutes’ duration, let our mind switch off then we can work more productively for longer.’ She argues it is not a matter of the quantity of time, but the quality. ‘Technology has become a hindrance in many ways. Even when we are meant to be on a break, we are still checking work emails. This is not adequate down time, which is why I say it’s vital that people “switch off to switch on” so that their brain can reach what I call white space – where they are not actively thinking.’ Cronnelly says that even a 15minute walk where your mind can relax is more beneficial than a 30minute break where you are still plugged in. A quick nap can also do wonders to recharge the batteries. ‘A lot of companies now have “rest rooms” where employees can go and take a quick nap. Many of these areas are just dark, quiet spaces where workers can switch off for a few moments,’ she said.

‘It is vital to “switch off to switch on”’

‘Many companies see now that investing in the well-being of their employees is not only beneficial to their workers, but also to their business. A healthier and happier workforce is more productive, more healthy and out sick a lot less.’ The key to ensuring you give yourself enough time to take your break is organisation. Set goals for what you have to get done in the day and give yourself a deadline to do it. If you are feeling bogged down by it all, a quick five-minute walk can clear the head. As much as we would all like to get up and dine somewhere else other than our desks, there is a cost element to consider. If you are spending €10 on lunch in a café each day that quickly adds up. There are ways to do lunch on a budget – such as a packed lunch or a sandwich. It’s summer, the weather is nice, so find yourself a green space, a nearby park or a place with public seating. The weather in Ireland is not always that great, but if you need to get out, find a nearby gallery or museum for some head space. The message is that staying glued to your computer screen is not going to make you a better worker or impress your boss. Take the time, short as it may be, relax, refuel and reboot.

cOsT sAvInG lunch tips

that won’t break the bank If an average coffee costs €3 – that’s €15 per week and €60 per month. instead of buying coffee in the shop or even take-out bring your own from home. enjoy it in a nearby park or as you stroll to work. can’t part with your coffee? okay, how about just one of them? cutting back from two takeaway coffees per day to just one, or even cutting out one or two per week will still save you cash If an average sandwich costs €5 – that is €25 per week or €100 per month. Make your own. it doesn’t have to be depressing ham and cheese. You can invest in some nice bakery bread or home-made relish, it will last a lot longer and still save you money. buy a whole chicken to do you for a week rather than fillets or cooked chicken. Still want to treat yourself and dine out? sites like groupon.ie or menupages.ie offer lunch time deals in restaurants around the country. Love your chicken fillet roll? look around at the deals in your local shops. it may not seem like a lot, but a saving of €1.50 could add up.

Rose admitted he was in uncharted territory after cruising to victory in the Scottish Open to claim back-to-back wins for the first time in his career. And the 2013 US Open champion, who won the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour a fortnight ago, will now try to follow in the footsteps of Phil Mickelson by claiming his second major title at Hoylake. Rose had not played the event for the last two years but said: ‘I thought I would try and do a Phil this year and put it on my schedule. So far so good.’

During his full 18 holes he was followed by a healthy crowd keen to see the former world No.1 before the tournament begins on Thursday.

The Repsol Honda rider has now won each of the first nine races of the season to open up a commanding 77-point lead over team-mate and fellow Spaniard Dani Pedrosa in the championship. It took only six laps for the dominant Repsol Honda duo to reel in the German and race off into the distance. Pedrosa stuck with his countryman for much of the race but Marquez proved too strong and took the chequered flag 1.466 seconds clear of his team-mate.

Mayo make it four in a row Cillian O’COnnOr shot eight points to keep Mayo in pole position in Connacht with a fourth provincial football title in a row. The former back-toback Young Footballer of the Year led the destruction of old rivals Galway in Castlebar. Goals from Jason Doherty, lee Keegan and Barry Moran were crucial too as James Horan’s side advanced confidently to the all-ireland quarterfinals. They’ve got bigger fish to fry in the all-ireland series, though the 2012 and 2013 all-ireland finalists did at least get a

They hammered Galway last year but only had seven points to spare this time and were fortunate that rising Galway star Shane Walsh wasted a second-half penalty. Walsh did finish as Galway’s top scorer, hitting 0-7, though their defensive set-up wasn’t enough to hold Mayo. O’Connor was heavily involved in Mayo’s first goal after 24 minutes which went to Keegan after a fist in from

close range. That helped Mayo into a 1-9 to 0-5 half-time lead though Galway fought back with a strong third quarter performance, reducing their arrears to four. it was as close as the Tribesmen would come and Doherty’s 48th minute goal gave Mayo breathing space again. and any hopes of a Galway comeback were dashed when Moran fisted home Mayo’s third goal in the 56th minute. Moran was forced off shortly afterwards for a black card offence and was replaced by Jason Gibbons.

CORk ............................................... 2-24 LIMeRICk ........................................0-24 by pAuL kEAnE Cork left it late at Páirc Uí Chaoimh before eventually seizing their opportunity to make two big pieces of Munster hurling championship history. Goals from Seamus Harnedy and Paudie o’Sullivan eventually allowed the beaten 2013 All-Ireland finalists to shake off holders Limerick and claim a first provincial title in eight long years. revenge was sweet for Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s side too after they were beaten by Limerick in last year’s decider but proved to have too much pace and purpose in the final 15 minutes here. In the process, they ensured that the last major game at Páirc Uí Chaoimh before its €60m makeover was won by a Cork team. The result secures Cork’s All-Ireland semi-final place on August 16, though Limerick are still alive with a quarter-final to regroup for. The Shannonsiders will play Waterford or Wexford on July 27. It was nip and tuck throughout, though, and the sides were level at half-time at 0-12 to 0-12. In fact, Limerick moved 0-5 to 0-2 ahead early on thanks partly to points from Na Piarsaigh duo Shane Dowling and kevin Downes. A huge free from goalkeeper Anthony Nash inspired Cork, though, and they moved three clear themselves just before the break. But another burst of Limerick scoring left the scores tied and set up a tense second-half. It remained a tit-for-tat encounter with both sides trading points and they were tied at 0-18 to 0-18 when Harnedy netted. It was a wonderful goal after a probing solo run from the 2013 All-Star who slalomed through Limerick’s defence before firing to the net. Wayne McNamara replied with a Limerick point but Cork’s second goal from o’Sullivan was the game’s decisive score, putting the hosts clear. The sub capitalised on great work by Daniel kearney, who dispossessed Seamus Hickey before arrowing a great ball in which o’Sullivan cleverly dispatched to the Limerick net. Conor Lehane shot five points from play while All-Star attacker Pat Horgan delivered eight points in total – though six of those were from placed balls.

Carlow crushed as Banner man Collins returns Dual star Podge Collins turned a terrible weekend on its head with a starring display as Clare’s footballers crushed Carlow in the qualifiers. The AllStar hurler was suspended on Saturday evening as the Banner County hurlers crashed out of the Championship to Wexford. But it did allow him to turn his focus to yesterday’s football encounter and he netted a goal as Clare won 4-26 to 2-13 in Round 2B of the qualifiers. Clare led 2-15 to 1-6 at half-time and had victory virtually sewn up after goals from Man of the Match Rory Donnelly and Shane Brennan. Collins shot their third in the 42nd minute and the fourth arrived from the boot of sub Podge McMahon 15 minutes from time.

Carlow manager Anthony Rainbow said he will take time out to consider his position after a terrible season in both the league and Championship. Clare will go into this morning’s draw for Round 3B of the qualifiers. They will be joined by Armagh and Kildare who won their 2B ties yesterday while Roscommon beat Cavan on Saturday. Kildare shot an unanswered 1-6 in the last 15 minutes to secure a 1-18 to 0-11 win over Down in Newry. Tommy Moolick struck a late goal for the Lilywhites who’d remarkably been level at 010 to 0-10 mid way through the second-half. And Mickey Harte’s position in Tyrone could come under pressure after a 0-13 to 010 defeat old rivals Armagh.

Following six laps it was on to the run and reid was moving well, pulling away from many in the large pack. american Gwen Jorgenson set a blistering pace and after a poor transition started to move through the field, going on to take a 4th consecutive World Series victory in 56:54. reid came home in 9th in a time of 57:42 describing it as a ‘decent’ performance. With the commonwealth Games on July 24 and the team relay on July 26, reid is finding form at just the right time. In the men’s race, the green trisuit of Ben Shaw could be seen right from the start as he exited the water less than 20 seconds behind super swimmer henri Schoeman of South africa. The 20km bike was frenetic with athletes desperately trying to make it into the leading pack as the über bikers piled on the pressure up front. Bryan Keane came out of the water alongside maria mola, less than 40 seconds off the leader but the gap was too much to close down. Keane along with mola, murray and many of the other big hitters couldn’t bridge up to the leaders and would start the run some 40 seconds back. 22-year-old Shaw finished 45th in 53:44.

It was an incredible feeling, one of my best days in cycling.’ Gallopin, riding for UcI ProTeam Lotto-Belisol, came home in a large group nearly three minutes later but, significantly, more than five minutes ahead of a

Darren Meenan and kurtis byrne combined for the latter to outfox a defender and cross low to the back post where Hoban forced the ball home for his 11th goal of the league season. Samir belhout’s early goal gave UcD a massive lift as they beat Sligo rovers 1-0 at the UcD bowl. though they dominated much of the match, Sligo struggled in front of goal as second-bottom UcD earned a first win in eight games to move six points ahead of athlone town. a dreadful start for Sligo saw them a goal and a player down within five minutes. captain Gavin Peers, in his first start

of the season following injury, and central defensive partner Jeff Henderson were exposed after just 75 seconds as UcD took the lead for what proved the only goal of the game. new signing conor cannon played the ball in from the right and skipper robbie benson helped it on for belhout to blast his shot into the net off the underside of the bar. Within a further three minutes Sligo lost raff cretaro to a calf injury which may end his season.

by matthew nash GERMANY took 113 minutes to wear down Argentina at the Maracana last night, but Mario Gotze’s winner was well worth the wait. The Bayern Munich attacker chested down fellow substitute Andre Schurrle’s cross before volleying past Albiceleste goalkeeper Sergio Romero with his outstretched left foot. It was enough to settle a match which was tetchy, niggly, physical to the last and which always looked likely to be decided by a single goal, if not penalties. As World Cup finals go, Rio de Janeiro did not witness a classic, although it was hugely entertaining, but often for the wrong reasons. Some horrific challenges went in, not least an elbow from the already booked Sergio Aguero that left Bastian Schweinsteiger’s face bloodied.

Germany’s Benedikt Howedes headed a clear chance against a post, while Lionel Messi’s only real opening went wide at the start of the second half.

Robben declines Van Gaal link-up at Manchester United

Staying aying put: R Robben wants to o play football in Germany next season

ARJEN ROBBEN has ruled out joining his Holland boss Louis Van Gaal at Manchester United. The 30-year-old winger, who played a key role in helping the Oranje finish third in the World Cup, is determined to stay in Germany. Now Holland’s World Cup adventure is over, Van Gaal will start his rebuilding job at United, and it was clear he saw the former Chelsea attacker as pivotal to his plans. But Robben was unequivocal in his response. ‘[Manchester United] is not an option. I will stay at Bayern Munich,’ he said.

His relationship with Van Gaal is strong, but he is still not tempted by a return to the Premier League. ‘I have a special bond with him [Van Gaal]. He is the most important coach in my career,’ Robben said after the 3-0 third-place play-off win over Brazil. ‘After the match he [Van Gaal] did ask me to come to Manchester.’ Van Gaal is hoping to forge a similar team spirit to that of his Holland side. ‘I hope the group in Manchester will become like this one,’ he said. ‘It was a great group. We have to sing from the same hymn sheet.’

The rebuilding at Old Trafford began when the Red Devils completed deals for Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera from Atletico Bilbao for £29million, and £27m left-back Luke Shaw from Southampton in June. It is believed that the signing of a centre-half and a defensive midfielder are top priority, while Van Gaal also wants to sign his Holland World Cup right-back Stefan De Vrij. But Robben will not be part of those plans. Van Gaal added: ‘I hope at Manchester United I can do my best.’

Luis Felipe Scolari faces the sack after their World Cup humiliation – Saturday’s 3-0 third-place play-off defeat to Holland following the 7-1 semifinal meltdown against Germany which turned him into a hate figure. However, Gilberto Silva,

‘Slowly and slowly it has come to this point’ who won the 2002 World Cup under Scolari, insists there is no magic wand to get Brazil back to the top of the international tree. ‘It is hard to say where things went wrong,’ said Gilberto, who

country, they must work better on coaching schools and academies. ‘There is something also with the country’s problems – at some point that is nothing to do with football but at times they come

together. ‘Everyone expected us to win as a solution for our country’s problems but I hope people pay attention and try to work better to find a solution.’ Gilberto teamed up with a number of

former internationals to raise concerns about the running of the Brazilian game 12 months ago – but their approach fell on deaf ears. ‘We are trying for better solutions on the football side and I hope from now on that people pay attention to what we are asking for,’ he said. ‘At some point the crack comes and today isn’t the factor for what has happened now in the World Cup it has come from the last ten years. ‘Year by year there is something wrong and at some point you feel the pain – slowly and slowly it has come to this point. People think it is just because we lost but it has been happening a long time.’

Super Mario Gotze the hero as Germany lift World Cup by gAvin bROwn MARIO GOtze’s extra-time winner against Argentina ensured Germany won the World Cup for the fourth time in the Maracana last night. Gotze, a second-half substitute, volleyed home after controlling Andre schurrle’s leftwing cross on his chest, to give Joachim Low’s men a 1-0 win as they became the first european team to win the trophy on south American soil. the goal was a beautiful way to win a game which was often ugly, but rarely dull, with referee Nicola Rizzoli allowing both sides to get away with a physical approach. the final was goalless after 90 minutes but far from without goalmouth incident. Gonzalo Higuain missed a golden first-half chance for Argentina after an error by toni Kroos and had a goal ruled out for offside before Benedikt Howedes’ header hit the post for Germany. Lionel Messi could have claimed glory just after the turnaround but the striker slipped his shot wide as the finalists were forced into an extra 30 minutes, where Gotze had the final, golden say.
