Cheeky News Round-Up: Ireland, Climate Change, and Vatican Drama
Live: Autumn Nations Series: Ireland v Fiji updates
RTÉ News
Now, if you fancy a bit of raw athleticism mixed with rampant nationalism, look no further than the Autumn Nations Series! Ireland versus Fiji—where the men in green will aim to squash their Pacific rivals like a bug on St. Patrick’s Day. Expect intense scrums, dramatic tackles, and perhaps a few very loud (and not so flattering) comments about their defence strategy. Cue the obligatory memes of Irish fans shouting at the top of their lungs. Should be a laugh!
Harris apologises to Cork care worker he walked away from
RTÉ News
And in the spirit of awkward encounters, we have a delightful tale of a politician who forgot to engage with a care worker. Yes, folks, there’s an apology floating through Cork. Can you imagine? A politician acting unscripted! Well, kudos to him for realizing no multi-national corporation will lend any credibility to a “walk-away” tactic. I guess even politicians can have a guilty conscience—or at least a PR team strong enough to advise them sharply!
Mary Robinson hits out at Vatican and other countries for blocking progress at Cop29 climate talks
Irish Independent
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe where common sense prevails, Mary Robinson has decided enough is enough and is having a proper rant at the Vatican and their global comrades in stalled progress on climate talks. It must be awkward being a progressive voice in a room full of climate-deniers. She’s basically trying to shove a round peg through a square hole, and I suspect the round peg might end up resembling a holy relic by the time it’s through. Honestly, do these folks think climate change is just a plot twist in a feel-good film?
Mary Robinson calls out the Vatican, Russia and Saudi Arabia for blocking progress on climate change
Irish Mirror
Her second jab at climate negotiations has the Vatican, Russia, and Saudi Arabia clenching their pearls. I mean, blocking progressive legislation is basically a sport for these nations! It’s like watching three sumo wrestlers trying to block a door while an eco-warrior tries to squeeze through. Spoiler alert: the warrior doesn’t make it, but hey, good on Mary for trying! Let’s hope she’s got a good PR team ready, otherwise her efforts might get lost in the sound of belligerent babble.

Now, just to add some spice to our climate stew, we have a heady rivalry breaking out over gender rights at COP29, with the Vatican waving their rosary beads in righteous indignation.

Now that would be a papal surprise worth tuning in for!
