The cage dominates the centre of Ballykeeffe Amphitheatre, the old quarry turned outdoor entertainment venue a short drive from Kilkenny city that is the setting for a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event.

A south Dublin nursing home will close its doors because it is “too small to be financially viable”. Cedar House Nursing Home at Mount Anville Park, Dublin 14, is home to a number of Sacred Heart Sisters as well as lay members of the public. No closing date has yet been put in place for the 24-bed facility, but a spokesperson said that the timeline would be flexible to ensure that residents can be relocated. Family members of the residents have been informed of the impending closure.
