“Currently there are no delays on routes around Cork.”
CLEAN UP
But the rest of the M50 motorway is clearer than usual this morning following the clear up of two earlier incidents.
Hours ago, a pedestrian on the M50 between Junction 16 Cherrywood and Junction 15 Carrickmines (Northbound) has affected the hard shoulder.
And in a separate location, debris on the road caused delays to traffic.
This occurred on the M50 between Junction 12 Firhouse and Junction 13 Dundrum (Southbound).
RAIL DELAYS
And Irish Rail passengers are facing disruptions this morning on Limerick to Ballybrophy via Nenagh routes.
The issue arose following “a signalling damage” due to an ESB fault.
And replacement bus transfers will operate “until further notice.”
Posting on social media to alert passengers this morning rail bosses said: “Limerick to Ballybrophy via Nenagh: Replacement bus transfers will operate until further notice. Due to a signalling issue on this route.”
As a result of this the bus transfers are in place from Limerick to Ballybrophy.
Rail bosses have said that three bus routes have been placed for commuters following this disruption.
They added: “Bus transfers will operate: 9am Ballybrophy to Limerick via Nenagh. 5.10pm Limerick to Ballybrophy via Nenagh. 7:05pm Ballybrophy to Limerick via Nenagh.
“Repairs are taking place following signalling damage due to an ESB fault.”

DONNCHA O’Callaghan can’t wait to say “G’day” to the Lions Tour officially kicking off on Friday – even if his Aussie accent could do with a little refinement.
@donnchaocallaghanThe Munster great went on the 2005 and 2009 tours[/caption]
@donnchaocallaghanSimilarly, Tommy Bowe was a two-time tourist in 2009 and 2013[/caption]
Ahead of the 2025 edition of the rugby tradition getting officially underway he and fellow Irish legend Tommy Bowe were joined by Lions’ CEO Ben Calveley on their podcast.
In order to promote that chat Donncha donned his best Aussie Outback hat and channelled Mick Dundee, Alf Stewart and whomever else you’re having yourself.
He is joined in the replacements by Rónan Kelleher, the only other Leinster player involved because they were involved in the URC final win over Bulls at the weekend, in which the hooker came off the bench.
There are still three Irish players in the starting XV with 2021 tourists Bundee Aki of Connacht and Munster’s Tadhg Beirne included, along with Finlay Bealham who was added to the squad after Scotland’s Zander Ferguson was ruled out through injury.
Aki and Bealham’s provincial teammate Mack Hansen is also included among the replacements.
Farrell has not included any Bath representatives with the side involved in the Premiership final against Leicester Tigers on Saturday.
Lions captain Maro Itoje will skipper the side for the first time and Farrell said: “It is a truly special moment and one that very few players ever get to experience.
“Maro has led the group well during our time in Portugal and then Dublin this week.
“This is also our first opportunity to show what the 2025 Lions are about and what we want to stand for as a team.
“We know that Argentina will challenge us up front and out wide – so Friday night will be a tough contest, but also a great occasion for all the fans.”
After their first outing on Irish soil, the Lions will travel to Australia ahead of the three-Test series against the Wallabies.
Lions: M Smith (England), Freeman (England), Tuipulotu (Scotland), Aki (Ireland), van der Merwe (Scotland), F Smith (England), Mitchell (England), Genge (England), Cowan-Dickie (England), Bealham (Ireland), Itoje (England), Beirne (Ireland), Curry (England), Morgan (Wales), Earl (England).

A BODY language expert has claimed Meghan Markle is full of ‘contempt’ over one of her best A-list friends’ global success.
The Duchess of Sussex was recently interviewed by Emma Grede, co-founder of Skims with Kim Kardashian and podcast host for Aspire.

But a body language expert claims Meghan has ‘contempt’ for her friend’s successInstagram/@thebodylanguageguyINSTAGRAM/SERENA WILLIAMSSerena was the first person to appear on Meghan’s now-cancelled Spotify podcast[/caption]
But the topic soon moved on to one of Meghan’s closest A-list friends, Serena Williams, who has amassed a £260 million fortune.
Meghan, 43, name-dropped the Grand Slam champion, telling Emma: “My dear friend, Serena, as you know…” before Emma cut her off excitedly saying, “I love Serena.
“She’s like my girl crush, talk about a successful entrepreneur, by the way.”
“Oh yeah,” Meghan replied with her eyes closed.
Body language expert, Jesús Enrique Rosas, who analysed the interview for his Instagram account, The Body Language Guy, claims this is where things take a turn.
He said: “You saw that? You spotted it?”
“That ‘Oh yeah,’ was extremely condescending.
“And I spot there’s a bit of contempt in that smile.”
He explained that the left corner of her mouth was pulling higher than the right, indicating negative emotions.

He also pointed out that when Meghan says the tennis super star is ‘Doing so well,’ that she turns her jaw to one side and almost grimaces.
The body language expert claims the facial expression suggests Meghan is thinking, ‘Why are we talking about Serena?’
Serena and Meghan first met at the 2010 Super Bowl, when the New Orleans Saints took on the Indianapolis Colts, before reuniting for a Celebrity Beach Bowl tournament, where they ‘immediately’ hit it off.
Meghan wrote on her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig: “We hit if off immediately.

“Taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting…
“Not about tennis or acting, but about all the good, old-fashioned girly stuff.”
Since their chance encounter, the two have been close friends, supporting each other publicly.
Serena was also the first person to appear on Meghan’s Spotify podcast Archetypes, which was cancelled after just one season.
She was also one of the first people to defend Meghan for her controversial Oprah Winfrey interview about leaving the royal family.
In a statement on Twitter after the interview aired, Williams described her as a ‘selfless friend’ who ‘teaches me every day what it means to be truly noble’.
“Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she’s experienced,” Serena wrote.

IT’S been a miracle drug for me – helping me shed six stone in eight just months.
But one major side effect I’ve found from taking Mounjaro is the extensive hair loss.
suppliedI’ve lost six stone in eight months taking Mounjaro, but have also suffered with hair loss[/caption]
suppliedIt’s even more noticeable when my hair is pulled back[/caption]
suppliedWith huge clumps coming out when I wash my hair, and when I brush it[/caption]
While, like the majority of people, I’ve always lost some hair in the shower, these so-called ‘fat jabs’ have taken it to a whole new level.
According to hair extension guruVictoria Lynch,founder of Additional Lengths/ Remi Cachet, there’s been a “noticeable uptick” in women experiencing hair thinning recently – one reason for which is the popularity of weight loss injections.
“While these medications can support weight loss or diabetes management, a side effect some users report is increased hair shedding or thinning,” Victoria says.
“This can be especially distressing when compounded by the natural hormonal shifts during midlife, leading to noticeably finer hair at the crown and hairline.”
Victoria is also having lots of consultations with women suffering hair loss due to hormonal changes such a perimenopause.
So being on Mounjaro, plus the fact I’m perimenopausal at the age of 41, means that seeing clumps of my locks in the plug after a shower is my new norm.
And while I’m loving my newly-slim figure, I’m incredibly self-conscious about the bald patches that have become even more noticeable in recent months.
They’re even more obvious when I pull my hair back into a messy mum – my preferred ‘do as a busy mum of two.
So in a bid to try and cover them up I tried three different hacks, and they’re pretty budget friendly too.
This was the first hack I tried, and I bought it after seeing the 824 four star ratings it had on Amazon.
And given that it’s just £5.99, it’s the second cheapest of the products I used.
suppliedWhile a messy bun is my daily hairdo of choice, it also massively highlights my hair loss[/caption]
suppliedI tried out an Amazon £5.99 hair powder first of all, and was pretty impressed with the results[/caption]
It comes as a powder, which looks like an eyeshadow at first glance, with two different size applicators.
There’s a smaller one if you’ve got tiny patches to cover, or you want to use it along the hairline, and a bigger sponge-type applicator for any larger sections.
While the shade is too dark for my hair – which is between a brown, copper and dark blonde – it was less noticeable once I’d gently rubbed it into my scalp and hidden the line between my real hair and the darkened patches.
Another downside is that the powder doesn’t come in quite the right shade for me.
But, with 12 colours available, it may just be that I’m between the two browns.
Overall, this was a good point to jump off from, but not my favourite.

Hair Loss 101
HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It’s perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens – they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
Another alternative to the root powders is a spray.
The Josh Wood one is just one of the options – but doesn’t exactly push the boat out when it comes to colours available.
In fact, there are just TWO available – brown and blonde.
And, unfortunately, the brown could be seen as soon as I sprayed it on.
The transfer also isn’t great – my hands were brown after about two seconds of trying to rub it in.
Not too impressed with this one, I have to admit.

suppliedThe Josh Wood Airbrush root spray doesn’t have a big enough colour range for me – so was much too dark[/caption]
suppliedMeaning it looked patchy and obvious once I’d applied it[/caption]
This was by far the best option in terms of colour, for me, as well as longevity.
It also didn’t seem to be too heavy when I applied it – and didn’t transfer either, even when I rubbed it in with my fingers.
I used my brush to blend it in a bit more, and was chuffed when I saw how well it had concealed my bald spots.
And when it comes to variety, there are nine shades to choose from, so it should work for a range of different hair colours.
While some other options I’ve tried make the hair feel crispy once it’s applied, this was barely noticeable – and I pretty much forgot about it until I washed my hair the next day.
This is definitely going to be one of my favourite products going forward – especially as I’ve got no intention of giving up the Mounjaro any time soon.
Rating: 5/5
suppliedOne place the hair loss is most noticeable is at the side – right where my hairline begins[/caption]
suppliedBut the L’Oreal Magic Retouch spray worked an absolute treat – and was the best one in terms of a colour match for me[/caption]
While there are tonnes of budget options out there for concealing bald patches, for anyone with a bit more money to spend, hair extensions could be an option.
I spoke to the lovely Victoria at Remi Cachet for some advice on getting extensions which, she says, can “restore confidence without compromising your hair’s health when done correctly”.
After a consultation and a colour match, I went for the 16 inch clip in extensions, in the shade 4/8.
At £125, they certainly aren’t a budget option, and also weren’t particularly advisable for my Mounjaro/perimenopausal hair loss.
However, the confidence I suddenly had when I popped the extensions in was unmatched.
I still haven’t quite mastered the art of putting them in, and think that when I have, they’ll look even more natural.
But the novelty of having long, luscious locks isn’t going to wear off anytime soon, that’s for sure.
And I’ll make sure I don’t rely on these too heavily, wearing them just for special occasions rather than on a daily basis.
Rating: 4/5
suppliedThe Additional Lengths clip-in extensions certainly aren’t cheap, but they gave me an unmatched instant hit of confidence[/caption]
