The family of a man who died by suicide shortly after walking out of a Galway hospital has set up a petition calling for changes to hospital admissions so people seeking mental health supports should not have to go to accident and emergency (A&E). Adam Loughnane, aged 34 years, ended his life in the River Corrib shortly after he presented himself to medical staff at University Hospital Galway on February 11. His body was recovered by the emergency services a short time later.

The images, which were taken at the Ennistymon Horse Fair on Sunday, show the man walking through the town with the zebra on a strap, and then later drinking a pint while the foal and pony stand beside him.

Some would have thought the courts had gone "batty" if a major data centre development was stopped by a single nocturnal creature living in a barn nearby.

This is a long shot but hoping to have a precious stone taken from my nanny Mai Giggins grave returned. I had this loveheart made for her 10th anniversary in Feb. I visited her grave in Ballapousta near Ardee, Co. Louth on Tuesday & it’s gone. Whoever took it, please return it 😞 https://t.co/Q3BDGygtHi
