Summer stays but winter is coming...
AUTUMN could be put on hold for another fortnight, after weather experts predicted the Indian summer could extend up to mid-October. Forecasters said high pressure will build across the country again this week, leading to what is likely to be the last spell of unseasonably mild weather of the year. But meteorologists urged people to make the most of the anticipated stretch of prolonged sunshine, warning that temperatures will start to plummet in mid-October with frosts and aboveaverage rainfall predicted.
by Nick BRaMhill James Madden, meteorologist with Exacta Weather, said: ‘Although some areas will still be at risk of seeing some rain and showers at times, some further drier weather and decent spells of sunshine are likely to develop once again.’ But he warned: ‘The middle part of October, possibly a little earlier, will see a major reversal of these mild and settled conditions. Low pressure will become a more dominant feature and conditions will become largely unsettled, with above-average rainfall

amounts across many parts of Ireland. ‘It will also begin to feel markedly cooler, particularly in the evenings when the first major frosts of the autumn could begin to develop in places.’ He added: ‘The unsettled theme is likely to persist into November, but with an even cooler edge to affairs as frosts and frequent fog patches begin to develop at times, in particular in the second half of the month. Meanwhile, Met Éireann has predicted the clement weather will return on Wednesday with dry, settled conditions remaining until next weekend.

Crest of a wave: The couple on the Grand Canal Picture: getty
GEORGE CLOONEY and his new bride Amal Alamuddin made their first appearance as man and wife yesterday when they showed off their wedding bands and greeted well-wishers lining the Grand Canal in Venice. The newlyweds, who tied the knot on Saturday at the sevenstar Aman Canal Grande hotel, were still celebrating as they hosted a brunch for family and friends at Hotel Cipriani. Beaming Clooney, 53, and his British human rights lawyer wife, 36, waved as they crossed

They showed no signs of a hangover after their star-studded ceremony, attended by A-listers including Matt Damon, Bono and Emily Blunt. Guests were given a bag of goodies including a wedding itinerary, suggestions for what to do and rules for the day. One friend who couldn’t attend the blockbuster event was Ben Affleck, who was
tied up promoting his new film, Gone Girl, in New York. n Perhaps the best coverage of the nuptials came from website thebusinesswoman media.com, which ran the headline: ‘Internationally acclaimed barrister Amal Alamuddin marries an actor.’ It then lists Alamuddin’s many professional achievements, including representing controversial WikiLeaks whistleblower Julian Assange, and her fluency in English French and Arabic. The article jokingly describes Clooney as ‘clingy’ and expresses the hope he won’t hold her back. ‘He’s been quoted as saying he was “marrying up”…we agree,’ it adds.

HSE report into Ms Y legal case
The pecking order
THE director general of the HSE has ordered a review into the ‘reasonableness, or otherwise, of the legal approach taken’ in relation to the Ms Y case after it emerged it took court proceedings in relation to the woman’s ‘complex’ circumstances. Ms Y’s baby was delivered prematurely by Caesarean section under the Protection of Life in Pregnancy Act after she was refused an abortion. The HSE yesterday denied seeking an order to force the woman to be hydrated, saying her circumstances ‘were significantly complex’ to justify going to court. Several thousand people marched in a pro-choice rally in Dublin on Saturday.

Analyst warns househunters PROSPECTIVE homeowners have been warned by the chairperson of the Housing Agency not to ‘make fools of themselves’ by paying over the odds in Dublin. Conor Skehan said that people would be better off buying a house in two years time when more houses will be completed. He told The Sunday Busines Post that the government agency – an independent analyst of the housing market – would ‘be out at every opportunity to face down people who are try to panic people... and pressuring them to buy at too high a price’. Last week a report by surveyors found that Dublin needed 35,000 homes to meet demand.
Hogan ‘signed off’ €40m water fees by LukE HOLOHAn
FORMER Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan was informed of the high costs of consultancy during the set-up of Irish Water, a confidential document appears to show. According to RTÉ’s This Week programme, the document shows that Mr Hogan signed off on more than €40million worth of consultancy fees on December 10, 2012. When the controversial sums were
revealed in January this year, Mr Hogan said he did not know the money had been billed by consultants and expressed concern over the Costs: Phil Hogan amount. The document – which reported on the progress being made in establishing the semi-
state body – is understood to make reference to a figure of €43.5million for external consultants and other local authorities. The news comes just two days before Irish houseowners will start to be billed for their use of water. Sinn Féin MEP Matt Carthy said the latest revelation was evidence as to why Mr Hogan is ‘completely unsuitable’ for the position of EU Agriculture Commissioner and that people deserved an explanation.
TD apologises for part in row ROSCOMMON/South Leitrim by-election candidate John McDermott has reported Fine Gael TD Frank Feighan to the gardaí over an alleged assault that took place in Co Roscommon on Friday. The complaint follows a scuffle between the pair that occurred as people protesting at the downgrading of the county’s emergency unit heckled Taoiseach Enda Kenny on his visit to the area. Mr Feighan released a statement apologising for his part in the incident. He said: ‘In hindsight, I misread the situation and overeacted in a tense situation.’ Both parties were unavailable for comment yesterday. A Garda spokesman said a file has been sent to the DPP.

rad Pitt believes he is far from the happiest man in the world despite an a-list marriage and a glittering career. The 50-year-old, who tied the knot last month with angelina Jolie, said he relishes the tough moments life throws at him as they make him stronger. ‘I’ve always believed happiness is overrated,’ he confessed to GQ. ‘It’s those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it’s a series of tradeoffs, of events, of wins and losses.’ The father of six hinted work will be needed to keep the fire alive, saying: ‘I wouldn’t say [marriage is] just a title. There’s more

KiLLER vOLcAnO bLAsT ‘there should have been a warning’
AMERicA: The parents of the black 18-year-old killed by a policeman in Ferguson, Missouri, have rejected an apology by the city’s top officer. Michael Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, said Chief Tom Jackson should be sacked and Darren Wilson – the white officer who shot her son – should be arrested for murder. The shooting on August 9 sparked days of rioting and demonstrations.
A VOLCANIC eruption which has killed at least 30 people in Japan should have been detected in advance, an expert has claimed. Mount Ontake in central Japan erupted without warning on Saturday, trapping hundreds of people on the slopes. Rescue workers said yesterday they had found the bodies of 31 hikers near the 10,062ft summit. Up to 45 climbers are still thought to be missing. Plumes of smoke continued to rise from the ashcovered summit as survivors were escorted from the mountain in an operation involving 250 troops and seven helicopters. Prof. David Rothery, a vulcanologist at the Open University, said sensitive scientific equipment on the mountain should have given an advance warning of the eruption. He explained: ‘So far as I know there are seismometers on Ontake that are supposed to detect signs of internal magma movement. “Sneak” eruptions are not unknown but analysis may reveal data that, with hindsight, should have been read as a warning sign.’ Japan Meteorological Agency officials insisted there were no signs of an ‘imminent’ eruption from the volcano, which has been largely inactive since 1979.

US-led forces target Islamic State oil refineries AIR strikes believed to have been carried out by US-led forces that hit three makeshift oil refineries in Syria’s Raqqa province early yesterday do nothing to weaken Islamic State (IS) militants, a monitoring group said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attacks occurred shortly after midnight, adding that they also hit a plastic factory. IS fighters have control over oil produced in eastern Syria and have set up small, makeshift refineries to distil the crude into fuel, one of their main sources of income. ‘These so-called refineries are not a real target and they do not weaken Islamic State as they do not have any financial value for them,’ Rami Abdelrahman of the Observatory said. ‘They are composed of trucks with equipment to separate diesel and petrol used by civilians.’

Open your eyes and facts about CO2 levels are obvious ■ I just wanted to clarify something for Career Doctor Jane Downes. Your article of Friday stated: ‘Public servants are entitled to five days fully paid in the event of the death of a close family member.’ This is not entirely accurate and can add fuel to the public/private sector debate. This is a breakdown of the compassionate leave granted to public sector workers: Five days for spouse, son, daughter; three for mother, father, brother, sister, mother-inlaw, father-in-law; one day for aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparent, brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

Global warming depends primarily on four factors: Co2 levels, sun-spot activity, El niño/La niña activity and volcanic ash in the atmosphere. Regardless of the other three factors during any period since the early 1990s, Co2 levels keep increasing and Co2 raises the temperatures of the Earth’s colder regions and night-time temperatures.

fOx jAw: GHOsT’s PARADE HHHII Previously known as Fox Jaw Bounty Hunters, the limerick lot have truncated their name but expanded their sound for album number two. on their 2011 debut The Devil in Music, the band served up an arresting blues/folk/rock fusion and, while the core of that sound is intact, there’s some welcome progression here. lead single Kerosene is the best thing they’ve done to date. A brooding bundle
of malevolence, its swooning chorus is impossibly catchy, so much so that even MeP Ming Flanagan was moved to tweet his approval. its fellow single, Falling Debris, is equally assured. The dramatic balladry of the tracks Afterglow and siren’s Call are welcome breathers but really, the band peak when powering through another cocktail of pounding drums, incessant riffs and often unusual vocals hooks.
Frontman ronan Mitchell is certainly a unique proposition; shifting from guttural, almost hoarse bellows to softly spoken refrains. it’s authentic and impressive, though the ‘arrr-matey’ shtick found on Falling Debris bemuses more than it impresses. it isn’t re-inventing the wheel but this is assured, head-bopping, rock’n’roll.

I was thinking: am I going to have to spend the rest of my career elbowing people out of the way, while people stab me in the back?’ It’s safe to say that, not so long ago, the seemingly indomitable Lady Gaga had reached rock bottom. Forced to cancel the remainder of a world tour for hip surgery last February, she split with her manager in November just before the release of artpop, an album that sold poorly in comparison to her first two. at the same time she reported publicly that she had resorted to smoking ‘five to 20’ joints a day to cope with the pain of recovering from her operation.

UTV, 9pm Now here’s an idea – how do we persuade Sheridan Smith to audition for The X Factor so she can blow the opposition away with her version of Cilla’s You’re My World? Smith’s vocals are the main draw in this chirpy 1960s biopic, which climaxes tonight with the star getting a bit big for her Carnaby Street boots. Hardly Macbeth but the period feel is spot on.

No matter what spin you put on it, the lute has never been seen as one of the cooler instruments in the music box. That, however, hasn’t deterred New York-based contemporary composer Jozef Van Wissem from approaching the medieval instrument with a distinctly new-age mindset. Born in Maastricht in 1962, Van Wissem had mastered the classical guitar by the age of 11, before beginning to fuse Renaissance and baroque lute music with contemporary production techniques; cutting and splicing classical pieces, reversing scores and adding subtle electronica to ancient standards. This week at Whelan’s, Van Wissem will perform music from the soundtrack of Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, for which he won the Cannes Soundtrack award.

University of Limerick and IT Tallaght were ranked top in terms of graduate employment, with just five per cent of graduates still seeking work nine months after graduating.
Trinity’s unemployment rate is six per cent (fifth on this measure) but the study found that it recruits students with the highest points – an average of 508 points each – and its students go on to achieve more Firsts and 2.1s than students at any other institution. University College Cork tops the research rankings, earning more from research per head of academic staff than any other institution, with UCD and TCD making up the top three in this category. DIT has the best completion rate of any third level institution in the country – 92 per cent of students who enrolled in 2008 had graduated by summer 2013. The annual table, which is now in its 13th year, is ranked on six performance measures – the average Leaving Cert points required for entry; course completion rates; the proportion of top degrees awarded; graduate job prospects; and the income generated from research and staffing levels.

final, Dublin coughed up another winning position when they were four points clear in the second half. adding to the misery for Dubs boss Gregory mcGonigle was the fact that he was also in charge of the monaghan teams that lost to Cork in the 2011 and 2013 allIreland finals. at half-time, Dublin were in control, leading by 1-7 to 0-4 and when Lindsay Peat netted her second goal in the 35th minute Dublin cruised into a 2-8 to 0-7 lead. But heartbreak would visit them at the death.
Delaney: ‘Cody and Shefflin irreplaceable’ JJ delaney admitted Kilkenny simply won’t be able to replace Brian Cody and Henry Shefflin if they choose to bow out at the top. Cody won his tenth All-Ireland title in just 15 years as Kilkenny manager on Saturday while Shefflin, the only player who has been there every step of the way, collected his tenth medal. Both manager and player refused to be drawn about their futures in the wake of the replay win over tipperary, stating that they will decide over winter as they always do. Shefflin’s loss would arguably be the lesser of the two as the team effectively won the All-Ireland without him this year though Cody’s absence would surely hit Kilkenny hard. ‘they’re characters, real characters,’ said delaney, now a nine-time medallist. ‘they inspire people with their actions. the young lads coming onto the panel look up to them in the dressing-room, it’s obvious. You just can’t replace that. But the bottom line is that it’s their decision what they want to do now.’ Full-back delaney revealed how he

‘They inspire people with their actions’
It wIll go down as ‘the perfectten’ final, when shooter Henry Shefflin officially became hurling’s greatest and was joined by Kilkenny manager Brian Cody as a ten-time All-Ireland winner. But if there was a moment that summed up a final played with a gargantuan spirit it was actually a piece of defensive genius, JJ delaney’s 18thminute hook on Seamus Callanan. At 32, delaney was handed a tricky assignment when directed to keep tabs on a pacey 26-year old who is shaping up as the Hurler of the Year. But what delaney conceded in raw pace he made up for in experience and just as Callanan thought he had shook off the Kilkenny great and drew back to strike, he was hooked, denied what must have been a certain goal. Consider that Kilkenny won the game by three points and you can understand why manager Cody was happy to reduce the game to that intervention, describing it as a defining moment. ‘Magnificent defending, just a magnificent piece of defending,’ said Cody. ‘As
we’re so often told, our defenders are very, very slow. For JJ delaney, who is beat now at this stage and can’t run to get back and hook a player who, in your (media’s) opinion, and who is absolutely a speed merchant... look, we work a lot on speed with the lads to keep them quick. ‘You’d want to know what you’re writing about when you write those things, running our lads down and slaughtering them. You’d want to realise that it doesn’t work like that.’ delaney’s success was all the more impressive as it emerged afterwards that he dislocated his finger just before half-time, had it relocated during the break and then resumed play. the full-back said his ninth title was special, drawing him level with former colleague noel Hickey and former selector noel Skehan. Shefflin, of course, is the only player to have ten, all won on the field of play, a feat that Cody described as ‘mind boggling’. Shefflin said: ‘I’d love to say it felt different but it didn’t feel any different at all. I think Brian would say it, that at that stage of the game all you want is for the referee to blow the whistle so that you are actually All-Ireland champions. ‘People ask you what the ten is like but really it’s just a sense of satisfaction, relief that it’s finally over and you’re All-Ireland champions.’
Character matters more at the end of the day for O’Shea’s proud runners-up IT’S a concept Eamon O’Shea will struggle to sell to his players for some time but the Tipperary manager insists there really are more important things than winning. Namely, incredible character. This Tipp team clearly have it in spades despite coming up agonisingly short of AllIreland success. There was just a foot – the distance that John O’Dwyer’s injury-time free in the drawn game missed the post by – between them and a rare Championship win over Brian Cody’s Kilkenny. ‘I know that people expect you to win when you come up here,’ said O’Shea (pictured). ‘I’m not trying to minimise that. We came up to win.
We just didn’t win. ‘But I do think there’s more important things. The important things are that I have a dressingroom full of men who fought the battle to the end, who didn’t flinch, who when things weren’t going their way kept going. ‘That’s my understanding of sport, that sometimes you don’t win but when Tipp play now, we really try until it’s no longer possible and I think they can be proud of that. ‘I think they’re shattered that we didn’t win. I’m shattered we couldn’t win. That’s what you’re in it for, to win. But it doesn’t take away from what I think was a supreme effort. That’s really all I can say.

Berahino vow for buoyant Baggies
SAIDO BERAHINO is adamant West Brom will not be carried away by a third win in eight days. Berahino scored twice, to add to Craig Dawson’s opener and Graham Dorrans’ late fourth, as the Baggies followed up wins over Tottenham and Hull by thrashing Burnley at The Hawthorns. The victories have helped West Brom climb away from trouble at the foot of the Premier League table and progress to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup. However, with matches against Liverpool and Manchester United up next, Berahino knows there will be plenty of hard work ahead.

Scorcher: Berahino scores a goal ‘It’s been a great week,’ the England Under-21 international said. ‘We’ve stuck together during this
period and the results are now paying off but we’re not going to get carried away. We’re going to focus now on Liverpool away and make sure we get something there.’ For promoted Burnley, a third defeat of the season leaves them propping up the table. The Clarets had drawn their previous three league outings and they haven’t scored for six games. ‘It was a performance where we never got started and never got to grips with the game at all,’ said manager Sean Dyche. ‘It’s a real low day for us performance-wise. It’s important we learn from it very quickly.’
Welsh rar are toast by NICk METCALfE at Gleneagles
Deadly Donaldson’s magic play seals a dominant Europe win OF all the wonderful moments this weekend, the most treasured of all came when a 38-yearold Welshman sent a quite magical approach into the 15th green yesterday, leaving his ball just two feet from the hole. Those of us behind the green could hardly believe our luck. We were in the right place at the right time as Jamie Donaldson sealed a memorable European Ryder Cup triumph. Victory was never really in doubt for the hosts, apart perhaps from an uncomfortable half-hour or so early in the afternoon when the red of America started appearing across the score board. But it was ultimately a comfortable win for the home team – 16-and-a-half points to the visitors’11-and-a-half. The European big guns really came to the fore, none more so than Graeme McDowell and world No.1 Rory McIlroy – whose entwined legal dispute had provided US player Phil Mickelson with ammunition with which to goad the pair in the build-up. McDowell in particular was an inspiration. No wonder captain Paul McGinley spoke of the ‘heart’ of the Northern Irishman. The Portrush native was three down to Jordan Spieth, but stormed back to claim a precious win. McIlroy had it all his own way, winning 5&4 against Rickie Fowler while Martin Kaymer saw off Bubba Watson in style. Everywhere on the course, excitement was growing. People were whispering to one another: ‘Justin Rose has made a birdie’…‘We’ve got 13 points’…‘It’s 13-and-a-half now’. Even us Europe fans scampering down to the 15th green were not-so-secretly delighted when Donaldson missed a putt to clinch victory over Keegan Bradley on the 14th. It meant we would likely see the crowning moment of glory instead. And then it came, that majestic shot to within inches of the pin before Bradley conceded the hole. Europe had reached the unassailable 14-and-a-half-point mark. The Ryder Cup had once again captivated us all – this amazing event never disappoints.

Slow mo: The Gleneagles scoreboard
Crowds kept in the dark by late scores AS with any major sporting event, there were reasons for praise and reasons for disappointment. The tunnel to the first tee was inspired, helping to add to the amphitheatre feel. The transport efficient, despite early fears. And the crowds were by and large terrific – passionate without being boorish. But I couldn’t believe some of the scoreboards were giving fans information ten or 15 minutes out of date. And the facilities weren’t always up to scratch at more distant parts of the course. Seven out of ten from me overall.
Jamie’s dream shot makes home triumph a Don deal JAMIE DONALDSON relished the honour of securing Europe’s win with a crushing victory over Keegan Bradley. Having already contributed two points from two foursomes outings with Lee Westwood, the 38-year-old went four up with birdies on the 11th and 12th, confirmed the half point to retain the trophy with a par on the 14th and wrapped up outright victory on the next. ‘I hit the wedge shot of my life to close the game out,’ said Donaldson. ‘It’s unbelievable. It was getting tight there
Put w winning run into perspective
at the end and everyone was building on my group. I just tried not to spend too much time looking at the scoreboard. ‘There is nothing else like it in golf. It has been amazing to be a part of it.’ Rory McIlroy was delighted the Welsh rookie secured the winning point. ‘We were watching the ball in the air and thinking “this is looking really good” and it lands right beside the hole and stops dead,’ said the world No.1. ‘JD has been fantastic all week and has taken to the Ryder Cup really well.’
I WISH some people would stop saying that another heavy win for Europe somehow credibility of the Ryder Cup damages the cr have quickly forgotten the 2010 (they must ha and 2012 ccontests, both decided by a single point). Can we not have some historical poin perspectiv perspective for a change? The Americans domina dominated this contest for decades, basically un until Great Britain & Ireland transformed in into Europe. Here’s the overall Ryder Cup sc score this morning: America 25, Great Britain & Ir Ireland or Europe 13, wi with two draws. I was ple pleased to hear both Rory Points won by McIlr McIlroy and Graeme McDo McDowell make the Patrick Reed, the poin point their side are still US team’s top we well behind in overall points scorer history. There’s no credibility issue here.

Captain Fantastic
McIlroy: ‘Paul has been absolutely immense this week’
McGinley hailed as Ryder Cup stays in Europe RoRy McIlRoy showed precisely why he is the world’s number one golfer on Sunday, producing a dazzling performance in the final-day singles to spearhead Europe’s victory charge in the 40th Ryder cup. Playing in the third match of the day, the 25-
by sAM COsTELLO year-old Northern Irishman powered to a 5 & 4 win over close friend Rickie Fowler. McIlroy wielded a red-hot putter on a sunny day at Gleneagles, notching four birdies and an eagle in the first six holes to leave his opponent reeling. ‘I knew I needed to get off to a fast start and I knew what was expected of me as one of the leaders of the team,’ McIlroy said. ‘I was really up for it today, more than in the final rounds of the majors I won earlier this year. McIlroy was in the room when McGinley was announced as Europe’s captain in January 2013 and heaped praise on the genial Irishman. ‘I can’t say enough about our captain,’ said the
four-times major winner. ‘Paul has been absolutely immense this week. ‘He left no stone unturned. He’s just been fantastic. Everything he’s done sort of tied in, from speeches he’s made to the people he got in to talk to us, the imagery in our team room – everything. Before lifting the trophy, McGinley said: ‘As we stand next to this beautiful trophy, we the European team feel very honoured and humble to be able to raise it together very shortly. ‘To the magnificent fans, thank you very much for your unbelievable, noisy support this week. ‘Thank you so much to every one of these players.’

That’s Paul, folks: With McIlroy
Power play a family affair but ‘mind-boggling’ Shefflin on his own Game breaker Richie Power has revealed how being written off last winter inspired Kilkenny to return to the summit of the hurling Championship. Power (pictured) netted the first goal to put Kilkenny on the road to all-Ireland final replay success on Saturday evening and younger brother John finished Tipperary off with the second goal. Ironically, both sides had terrible 2013 campaigns, with Kilkenny enduring their worst summer since boss Brian Cody took
over in 1999. a little over a year on, they’re celebrating a remarkable tenth allIreland in the Cody era, and Power admitted that being heavily criticised was the perfect motivation. ‘a lot of people wrote us off
coming out of Thurles last year after losing to Cork,’ said Richie. ‘They said this team was finished. To me, that hurt a lot of guys. ‘I’ve seen the commitment of all those lads to go back training like they did last year. They were hurting but that drives you on and it got us over the line now. ‘a lot of fellas would have went back training early. I went back myself a week after the county final. I knew I had to. Those are the things you have to do to get the rewards
but this is definitely one of the sweetest we’ve ever won.’ Cody’s 10th title as manager was only outdone by Henry Shefflin’s remarkable achievement of winning ten himself as a player, all on the field of play. ‘Henry’s achievement is the one to talk about,’ said Cody. ‘To achieve his tenth all-Ireland on the field of play, that’s just mind boggling stuff.’
