RTE Fair City viewers all said the same thing tonight as Doug made a confession to Pete and Paul tried to get one up on the pair.
On tonight’s episode, Carol was stunned by a visitor at McCoy’s and Aidan located Ger.
When Doug was brought in for questioning over his business relationship with Paul, Pete assured Erica that there was nothing for them to worry about.
After being questioned, Paul urged Doug not to tell anyone what he was asked by the detective.
But, as the pressure mounted Doug caved and revealed to Pete that he was being questioned over nixers he did with stolen cars.
Pete was shocked, and soon enraged when Doug told him that Paul brought them in.
An enraged Pete confronted Paul for bringing in the stolen cars, but a quick thinking Paul threw Doug under the bus and falsely claimed that it was his idea.
RTE viewers raced to social media to share their reactions to Paul’s scheming.
Sylvia wrote: “Doug next for Mountjoy.”
Michael said: “Doug the mastermind of crime.”
Another fan added: “Doug will end up in a cell with Tyler.”
Elsewhere on the show, Babs and Victor proposed a competition between themselves to see who could get more tips on their taxi fares.
The two got straight to work schmoozing potential clients and Babs asked Lorcan to help her win extra work, to beat Victor.
While using his help as leverage, Lorcan got Babs to invite him over for a movie night so he could spend more time with Ruby.
After multiple quiet shifts, Victor realised Babs was up to something while he struggled and she began to rake in tips.
Elsewhere in Carrigstown, Aidan was still prodding for Ger’s whereabouts and overheard Dean reveal that she was staying with Sharon.
Wasting no time, Aidan raced to the house, where a stunned Ger greeted him at the door.
Aidan told her he has been tasked to find the rat, but she distracted him with false information on the man in the locket photo.
And Carol grew suspicious when she saw Liam and Aidan chatting, but didn’t have long to ponder it’s meaning when Bo Yorke, the man who kidnapped her, arrived at McCoy’s.
And finally, despite Cass getting the jitters before his speech to the historical society, his speech was a hit.
Darren stole one of the historical society’s artefacts – a small toy soldier, in the aftermath of the talk.
And Sean told Cass about the missing soldier, explaining that the society was upset and that they needed to find it.
A MAN in his 60s has passed away following a work-related incident today.
The man died after reportedly working on roadworks in Kilkenny City.
Gardai and emergency services raced to the scene in the Kennyswell Road area at around 11am.
Tragically, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
It was reported that he was part of staff working on the roads, on the R695, when the incident happened.
The scene has been preserved for a technical examination and the road remains closed at this time.
The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has noted that it is aware of the incident and has launched an investigation.
In a statement, a Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene of a work-related incident that occurred in the Kennyswell Road area of Kilkenny city on Tuesday 1st July 2025 at approximately 11am.
“A male in his 60s was pronounced deceased at the scene.
“The scene remains preserved for technical examination.
“The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) was notified and are investigating the matter.”
Maria Dollard, Deputy Mayor and Green Party Councillor in Kilkenny city said: “It’s a tragedy for the family of the man who lost his life and for something like this to happen in the middle of the city.
“The importance of work-related safety can’t be overstated.”
She also expressed her sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of the man.
GER BRENNAN looks set to be Dublin’s new manager after quitting as Louth boss last night.
Brennan led the Wee County to their first Leinster SFC title in 68 years this summer, but has walked away after two seasons in charge.
He is odds-on to replace Dessie Farrell in the Dublin hotseat, who departed as Sky Blues boss after their All-Ireland quarter-final loss to Tyrone on Saturday night.
Brennan won All-Irelands with the Dubs in 2011 and 2013, but had to retire from inter-county football in 2015 due to an achilles injury.
Louth also won the Leinster under-20 title this summer, and were beaten in the minor provincial decider by Offaly.
And in a statement released on Tuesday, Brennan insists the future is bright for the Wee County despite his exit.
He said: “On behalf of the Louth senior football team management and staff, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for what has been an extraordinary journey with this incredible organisation.
“I want to thank Chairperson Seán McClean for his unwavering support – always engaged, energetic, and available in his commitment to all things Louth GAA.
“His leadership and dedication have been instrumental in everything we achieved together.
“My sincere appreciation goes to the Louth County Board, the Louth Clubs, and all the staff at Darver for their tremendous support throughout these past two years.
“The foundation of support you provided made our work possible.
“Most importantly, I want to express my profound gratitude to the Louth Senior Footballers. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your journey these past two years.
“What you have accomplished for the Gaels of County Louth will be remembered and celebrated for generations to come. Your dedication, heart, and commitment have made history.
“As you embark on the next chapter of your journey, I have complete confidence that fresh perspectives will bring new energy and insights to your honest and hardworking team. The future is bright for Louth football.”
Louth chairman Sean McClean added: “On behalf of everyone at Louth GAA, we want to express our profound gratitude to Ger for the transformative influence he has had during his time with us.
“The high standards he established, the ambitious vision he shared with us all, and the truly memorable experiences he created will continue to inspire and guide us for years to come.
“We also want to recognise and thank his exceptional backroom team for their dedication and unwavering commitment.
“And to extend our appreciation to Aisling and the entire Brennan family for embracing our community so warmly and supporting Ger’s work with such generosity of spirit.
“As Ger’s chapter with Louth GAA closes, we wish him continued success and fulfilment in all his future endeavours, both in football and beyond.
“He will always hold a special place in the Louth GAA family, and our doors will forever remain open to him.”
As Dublin close in on their new man, Louth join Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon and Antrim in the search for new senior managers for the 2026 campaign.
FRENCH cops paraded around in a buggy paid for by the UK — as dinghy migrants set sail.
On yet another shambolic day, the number of arrivals here hit a record 20,000 since the start of 2025.
Critics said £500million of taxpayer cash given to France had only turned its beaches into “the world’s most expensive sieve”.
Patrols with jeeps, quad bikes and drones were pictured on the sand yesterday as smugglers prepared to launch more dinghies.
On Monday alone, 879 reached British shores, the third biggest daily total in 2025.
We saw patrols at Gravelines near Dunkirk, and Équihen, west of Calais.
The crisis is now 48 per cent worse than this time last year and 75 per cent higher than in 2023, according to Home Office figures.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “Record numbers of young undocumented males have crossed this year thanks to French beaches being the world’s most expensive sieve — this is a disaster for the country.
“They are costing us money, making us less safe, and they bring a terrorist threat.
“This will only get worse under the weakest Prime Minister I have ever seen.”
PM Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron are due to meet in London next week for a State visit and a summit focused on tackling the crossings.
The UK first signed a deal with France under the last Tory government, with nearly £500million committed to extra patrols, surveillance drones, vehicles and riot vans.
Sir Keir has extended the commitment.
The leaders are also preparing to unveil a new “one in, one out” migrant returns deal — sending some Channel arrivals to France in exchange for Britain accepting migrants with family reunion rights.
But the Tories have branded the plan a “fantasy” and demanded their Rwanda scheme be reinstated.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “One year into Labour’s government and the boats haven’t stopped, they’ve multiplied.
“It’s become a free-for-all.
“We need a removals deterrent so every single illegal immigrant who arrives is removed outside Europe.
“The crossings will then rapidly stop.”
Sir Keir has faced pressure to deliver on his promise to “smash the gangs” fuelling the crisis.
But Downing Street insisted it will take time to solve it, warning “it’s not simple” to dismantle international smuggling networks.
The PM’s spokesman said the figures were “clearly unacceptable”, adding: “But let’s be clear, gangs have been allowed to embed industrial-scale smuggling enterprises across Europe, whilst our own asylum system collapsed through failed policies like Rwanda.
They are costing us money, making us less safe, and they bring a terrorist threat. This will only get worse under the weakest Prime Minister I have ever seen
Nigel Farage
“But we are taking action.”
The spokesman pointed to arrests of gang leaders, thousands of boat seizures, and closer ties with France.
WHEN Oasis announced they were reforming last year, most of the nation gasped in shock, got super- excited . . . and then went back to their daily lives.
But for some, the reunion was what they had spent years of their lives discussing, analysing and hoping, wishing and praying for.
Because when original members Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy and Tony McCarroll burst on to the scene in 1994, Oasis changed their lives for ever.
Here, we speak to five superfans who met their partners or found their calling through the band.
MUM-OF-TWO Emily, 47, from Gerrards Cross, Bucks, met future husband Jamie as a teenager at her first Oasis gig. She says:
“I first set eyes on Jamie when I sat next to him on an eight-hour coach trip to Paris in 1995.
I was 16 and had somehow convinced my mum I would be perfectly safe travelling with a group of four boys to the French capital to watch a rock ’n’ roll band play at the Bataclan.
While my girl friends were into Take That, I was obsessed with Oasis.
And as we boarded the 5am bus from London’s Victoria, I sat down next to Jamie, who I only knew through mutual friends.
We travelled to Paris, watched Oasis bring the house down, and I returned a lifelong fan.
The gig was amazing, so we decided to go to Glastonbury to watch them a few months later.
That appearance at Glasto was the first time we heard Don’t Look Back In Anger, and I remember my spine tingling as I looked at Jamie.
This was something special.
Time passed and over the next ten years I saw Oasis at Knebworth, Earls Court, Wembley and more.
Sometimes I’d bump into Jamie and I’d always love seeing this guy who had been on the Oasis journey with me from the beginning – and I rather fancied him.
As I approached 30, Facebook was invented and Jamie and I got back in touch properly.
We started to plan a Glastonbury trip and book gigs to go to, including Oasis at the Eden Project.
Friendship developed into more, and soon we were a couple.
So in July 2009 and newly engaged, off we traipsed to Cornwall to watch what was to be one of their last gigs.
Shortly after failing to catch Liam’s tambourine, we got married, and now have two kids.
The first song played when we were married was Live Forever, and our wedding rings are both inscribed with “Live Forever”.
On Friday, Jamie and I, plus two of the original Paris group, will travel to Cardiff to see Oasis’s first reunion gig.
A month later we will take our kids to Wembley to watch them.
Everything has come full circle.”
LISA, 41, from Canada, met her husband Justin through their love of Oasis – and named her children after them. She says:
“My son Liam, 13, was named after, well, Liam, and my 11-year-old daughter Jill is named after one of the band’s most legendary photographers, Jill Furmanovsky.
But it didn’t just inspire my parenting, it shaped my entire life. I met Justin through a shared love of the band
We walked down the aisle to Round Are Way, and even had ‘OASISGRL’ as the licence plate on my old Pontiac.
I first discovered Oasis aged 12 in 1996.
The song I love the most is Whatever. I had a hard time in school.
I was bullied and ended up changing schools.
It made me feel, ‘F*** you all. I’m going to be whatever I want to be’.
While my classmates went mad for the Spice Girls, I launched The Liam Lover’s Club, sold Oasis bootlegs on eBay and had the email address “timeforliam”.
Then on June 17, 2005, I met Justin briefly at an Oasis gig.
I was in a relationship at the time, but we stayed in touch through MSN Messenger, swapping messages about Oasis news and ticket sales.
Later, when I was single in 2006, I reconnected with him while buying a gift at HMV – after spotting a Liam Gallagher photo taped to the till and discovering from the cashier that Noel would be playing locally.
When I messaged Justin about it he revealed that he was working at HMV, it was his picture of Liam taped to the till that I’d seen and it was his tip – from a music industry pal – that I’d heard about.
The universe just kept throwing us back together.
We reunited at a Noel acoustic gig in November 2006 and got together not long after.
It was so corny but our first kiss was while Wonderwall was playing.
We married in September 2010, with matching rings engraved with “I U OASISGRL” and “And7 we can slide away”.
THE 46-year-old from Basildon, Essex, went from fan to lead singer in tribute band Oasiz. He says:
“From the moment I clapped eyes on Oasis blasting out Some Might Say on Top Of The Pops in 1995, I knew life would never be the same.
I was just 16. I went from having a curtains haircut and listening to Whigfield to having the basin haircut, getting the baggy checked shirts and walking around in shades even when the sun wasn’t out.
I kept scrapbooks with every news-paper cutting.
No matter how small it might seem, like news Liam had had a haircut, I’d make sure I had it.
Within weeks, I’d started teaching myself how to play the guitar.
I started writing songs and then in 2005 I formed Oasiz, with my older brother Marcus as Noel, while still working a day job in exports.
Five years later, I went full-time, performing as Liam Gallagher in the tribute band but also doing solo gigs in character.
In 2023 a video I performed in racked up more than half a million views, with some fans convinced I was the real Liam.
But Oasis didn’t just shape my career, the band shaped my entire life.
I met Gary Ayres, the bassist in Oasiz, 25 years ago and we’re still best mates.
And while gigging at a hotel in Ibiza in 2012, I met Melanie, then 33 and on holiday with family.
The spark was instant and we married just six months later.”
FELIX, 40, is guitarist for indie band The Maccabees and a presenter on cricket podcast Tailenders. He says:
“(What’s The Story) Morning Glory? became the first LP I owned. It was better than any-thing I could have ever imagined.
Oasis had taken my confusion and searching and turned it into words.
The information that they sent into my infatuated mind, however, could at times be quite confusing.
Rock ’n’ roll was the only form of music worth listening to. Got it. The Boyzone and Eternal tapes were dispensed to the bin.
Guitars were the best. Yep. Synthesisers were terrible. I didn’t know what one was, but agreed.
Rock ’n’ roll was about being yourself. Noted.
It’s just that in the same breath, they seemed to not approve of anyone who was ‘themselves’ and wasn’t, well, them.
Fashioning an upbringing from Burnage, Manchester, when you live next to Wandsworth Common in South London is a complicated manoeuvring act.
But I had faith that I could achieve it if I made sure I was exposed to Oasis at all times of the day.
Before I’d sleep I would plan what Oasis song I would listen to first thing the next morning, fast-forwarding the cassette to the position.
I learned the interviews completely by heart. I would now refer to people as ‘our kid’.
I looked at Noel Gallagher on the cover of There And Then, the live Oasis video.
I studied every face in the crowd fixed exclusively on him, all joined together in communal worship.
He had achieved all that with a guitar. I knew the only way to make sense of my life from here was to, somehow, get myself there too.”
THE DJ, music historian and radio host, from Stoke-on-Trent, got in early on collecting Oasis memorabilia. He says:
“I was 17, driving home, when Live Forever came on the radio.
We were so used to hearing boybands crooning on bar stools, but to hear this guitar-driven music on the radio changed everything.
I went to see Oasis in 1996 at Knebworth and that sealed the deal.
I’d always been a music collector, but around 2010 I noticed that no one was selling Oasis memorabilia.
So, I started buying bits and bobs for fun.
Then I got a phone call from Alan McGee, the record label owner who’d signed Oasis in 1993.
‘Either you’re f***ing mad, or you’re a genius,’ he said to me.
And he asked me to sell some of his Oasis stuff for charity.
Then I started selling and valuing things for ex-bandmembers too.
In 2014, the band’s managers asked me to value items for the exhibition Oasis: Chasing The Sun.
On opening night, I was a bit early so I went to the pub next door.
I walked in and a guy went, ‘Hi Rob!’ It was Brian Cannon, who was the band’s original art director.
He introduced me to Paul Gallagher, Liam and Noel’s brother.
Then Bonehead joined us, by which point I was feeling pretty rock ’n’ roll.
Then the guys said, ‘We’re going to meet Liam now.
And, soon enough, I was drinking pornstar martinis with my idol.
Over the years, I’ve somehow become the go-to Oasis guy.
I’ve made 100 BBC appearances and written a book, Buying Into Britpop.
I’m constantly DJ-ing, and I’ve just set up my own record label, Deadly Records.
Oasis changed my life. Without them, I’d be a pretty boring guy.”

A FORMER EastEnders star is planning a huge pop career – months after leaving Albert Square.
Shona McGarty played popular Whitney Dean from 2008 until leaving in 2024.
Taking to Instagram, the star posted a photo of herself alongside musician and record producer Steve Anderson.
She captioned: “My happy place! Working with @mrsteveanderson is an absolute dream, we got so much accomplished in our studio session yesterday, and I feel it is all coming together nicely.
“Do you guys want a little sneak peek at something we recorded?”
One fan commented: “No way! This is awesome x.”
Another wrote: “Sneak peak pleaseeee! You’re looking beautiful girl so proud of you girl.”
A third added: “Yes can’t wait to hear your music Shona.”
While a fourth shared: “So happy for you! You deserve every bit of happiness and success.”
Through the production group Brothers in Rhythym, Steve has worked with artists including Kylie Minogue and Westlife.
As for Shona, the actress first announced her decision to leave EastEnders back in 2023.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday, Shona said: “I have decided to spread my wings and will be leaving EastEnders. I have loved my years in the show.
“I have been trusted with some incredible storylines and have made amazing friendships — and family — which will endure.”
Whitney’s final storylines built towards her wedding with fiancé Zack Hudson.
It saw her adoptive mother – and show legend – Bianca Jackson make a comeback to the Square.
However, Whitney was left devastated upon learning Zack cheated on her on her wedding day and furiously called the whole thing off.
She told Zack: “It’s OK that you didn’t love me enough. Maybe I didn’t love you enough either, because if I did then maybe I wouldn’t have lied to you about Britney?
“I feel that love for Peach, we both do. But do you think maybe that love and that pain kept us together for longer than it should have.
“It gave us Dolly though and I’ll never regret the time we had together but it’s over.”
After cutting ties with Bianca – who’d kept quiet about Zack’s infidelity Whitney left alongside Britney and Dolly for a new life in Wakefield.
While she got a prestigious Julia’s Theme send-off, viewers weren’t too pleased with Whitney’s exit.
One wrote: “#EastEnders this is possibly up there with the worst ending especially for Whitney. I wish her and Jay got together had a baby and left the square happily ever after.”
Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…
Another added: ”Shona McGarty’s final episode might quite possibly be one of the worst episodes I’ve ever endured. That’s exactly what it felt like. I had to endure it.
“I never wanna hear the names Whitney, Britney or Peach & the phrase ‘what’s best for my daughters Zack’ ever again. #Eastenders”
A third remarked: “Worst exit story ever, Whitney deserved better after all the trauma they put her through on this show. Logging out until Christmas, what a disappointment #Eastenders.”
EastEnders airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
A YOUNG woman has revealed that when she was just 17, she “snuck out” and got a matching tattoo with Harry Styles.
Savannah Phillips, a young woman from the United States, has gone viral online after opening up about the tattoo story and is now the envy of every One Direction fan.
Posting on social media, the blonde beauty shared a snap of her and Harry Styles, 31, from back in 2012, and claimed that Harry had sketched a heart for her, which she got tattooed on her ankle.
After being bombarded with hundreds of questions from desperate One Direction fans who were eager to know more on the backstory, soon after Savannah uploaded a follow-up clip, whereby she explained how her friendship with Harry started.
Savannah claimed that she first met Harry, who was recently spotted snogging a mystery woman at Glastonbury, and the rest of the One Direction band in Los Angeles, whilst out for her aunt’s birthday at the W Hotel.
Whilst eating lunch, Savannah and her family soon noticed that One Direction were sitting next to them and they eventually got talking.
After finding out that it was one of One Direction’s first times in LA, Savannah recommended they go to In-N-Out Burger – and before long, they were all there together.
Not only this, but the lads then invited Savannah and her family to one of their concerts.
Savannah and Harry in particular stayed connected through texting and just a few weeks later, when Savannah was only 17 at the time, she found herself in her car with Harry.
They went to her house where they tucked into shrimp tacos and Harry shared his desire to get a tattoo that evening, as she explained: “Harry kept mentioning throughout the night, ‘I wanna get a tattoo’.”
Savannah claimed that she had always wanted a tattoo, but her mother wouldn’t allow it.
Despite this, the pair soon found themselves in a tattoo parlour, as Savannah confessed: “He goes and grabs a big piece of paper and a pen and he’s just drawing something for like five, 10 minutes, and then he walks up to me with a piece of paper and is like ‘get this’.”
Savannah confirmed that Harry had called her mum from the shop to get her approval and just minutes later, she had his sketched heart inked onto her ankle.
Savannah beamed: “I got it done and it didn’t hurt, because I think my adrenaline was pumping so hard.”
It was a very strange, surreal and sweet chapter of my life that I am very grateful for
Savannah Phillips
Savannah later confirmed that Harry also got inked whilst with her that same night.
Reflecting on her friendship with Harry, Savannah acknowledged: “People ask if we’re still in touch and, no, I haven’t been in touch with Harry for a very long time, but I know if I run into him on the street, he would give me a hug, it’d be like no time had passed.
“I still do keep in contact with some of the crew and the band members – we all have very different lives now, it was a very strange, surreal and sweet chapter of my life that I am very grateful for.”
Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels.
Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone.
Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain.
Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings.
Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface.
Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful.
Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful.
Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones.
Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes.
Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface.

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @thatsavchick, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 1.6 million views, 250,800 likes and 1,797 shares.
Fans of Harry Styles were gobsmacked by Savannah’s story and many raced to the comments to express their jealousy.
I will peel your skin off and wear it myself
TikTok user
One person asked: “How does it feel to live every One Directioner’s dream?”
Another added: “You’re everything I ever wanted to be….”
A third commented: “I’m not a jealous person but that changes today.”
Someone else revealed: “Teenage me would have been jealous of you.”
Whilst one avid Harry Styles fan wrote: “I will peel your skin off and wear it myself.”
