He expects progress in early September when the Senate reconvenes.

He emphasizes the GOP's focus on retaining and expanding their local majorities in Nassau County, highlighting candidates like Bruce Blakeman and Ann Donnelly.

The Mental Health Commission has published a report signifying a noteworthy decline in the use of restrictive practices, such as seclusion and physical restraint, across Irish mental health services in the past seven years. The report highlights how the MHC adopted a human rights-based approach to result in the declining trend in these types of practices.

The BBC has found that five women who were exploited by so-called grooming gangs in Rotherham as children say they were also abused by police officers in the town at the time. One woman says she was raped repeatedly in a marked police car, and threatened with being handed back to the gang if she didn't comply. The BBC's Ed Thomas brings us the story and Clare McDonnell hears from Professor Alexis Jay who is the author of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse and Zoë Billingham, former His Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary. New mums are often inundated with advice, whether that's from their own mums or well meaning women in their lives. Increasingly though, given the sheer amount of our lives that takes place on social media the advice can come straight through our phones. It's led to what the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is calling 'advice overwhelm'. They say two thirds of new mums surveyed felt being inundated with advice added to the pressures of motherhood. It also found a third of new parents feel it's 'self-indulgent' to seek therapy and support. Clare is joined by Georgina Sturmer from BACP and Emma Gould, a mum of three who has experience of this. Julie is a new play about Julie Livingstone, a 14-year-old girl who died after being struck by a plastic bullet fired from an Army Saracen in May 1981 in Belfast, at the height of the hunger strike crisis.

With the women's Euro's over, talk has turned to what next for the women's game in this country. One club which often gets mentioned when looking at alternative ways of running a football club is Lewes FC in East Sussex. It gained national attention back in 2017 when it became the first club in the world to pay its men and women equally. It hasn't been smooth sailing and there are questions even now about its financial viability, but one of those who championed its move to gender equality is Karen Dobres. She's even written a book about it – Pitch Invasion, my story as a feminist on a Football Club Board. Karen joins Clare in the studio. Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Emma Pearce

Paying it forward goes hand-in-hand with mentoring. In this week's episode, Dirk shares how he practices generosity as a lifestyle and tips on how you can too.

A Clare member of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors' National Executive Committee insists the new Garda Commissioner must bring "stabilisation" to the force. Dublin native Justin Kelly has been appointed as successor to Drew Harris following a decision by Cabinet. The former Deputy Commissioner for Security, Strategy and Governance has been a Garda for over 30 years and previously served as Assistant Commissioner with responsibility for Serious and Organised Crime. Ennis-based Detective Sergeant Brian Howard believes the new appointee has a job of work to do to restore confidence in management among Clare members.

The conversation around PEX piping has generated a LOT of opinions on this channel. We thought the episode with Eric Aune would be the last on the topic, but inspector Jon Bolton reached out to us regarding material failures and class action lawsuits that are still ongoing surrounding the product. So, we figured we'd bring him on for a rebuttal of sorts. But we want to kick the conversation to YOU guys? As inspectors, have we reached the point of discovery where a PEX disclaimer is warranted? Or are we still sorting out and improving a product that has a strong future use case? Sound off in the comments! Oh and if you're in the Dallas area tonight, go hear Matt speak at the regional BS and Beer event happening this evening! BS = Building Science

This limited-scope audit evaluated the outcomes of the Kansas Office of the Inspector General's (OIG) investigations and audits from calendar years 2021 through 2024, with a focus on financial recoveries and prosecutorial results. The OIG is an independent entity within the Kansas Attorney General's Office and is tasked with increasing accountability and oversight of Kansas medical (and other) assistance programs through audits, reviews, and investigations. To assess the impact of OIG's work, we examined summary data on 280 investigations initiated during the review period, consulted relevant district court records, and conducted follow-up interviews with OIG officials. Our analysis found that 2 of the 280 investigations have led to prosecutions, which have resulted in the recovery of less than $1,000 to date. Additional legal actions may be possible given the number of still open investigations. We also reviewed all 9 audits and reviews OIG published between 2021 and 2024. Of these, we confirmed the recovery of $1.3 million documented in 1 report.

Why Home Inspections Matter: Insights from the Talk Real Estate Roundtable At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a moving experience—and that starts with being informed. In our latest episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, host Melissa Wallace sat down with veteran Realtor® Sue Bollinger to dive deep into the importance of home inspections, a topic that's gaining even more attention with upcoming changes to Massachusetts law. Why Home Inspections Shouldn't Be Skipped Sue, a full-time Realtor® with over 20 years of experience on the South Shore, strongly advises against waiving home inspections—something buyers have felt pressure to do in competitive markets. Fortunately, a new Massachusetts law going into effect in October will prevent sellers from requiring buyers to waive their right to an inspection, leveling the playing field for informed decisions. Home inspections aren't just about uncovering issues—they're an educational experience for buyers. From understanding how to shut off water valves to knowing how to change a furnace filter, a good inspector arms buyers with essential knowledge about their future home. Common Issues and How to Handle Them Sue and Melissa highlighted several recurring issues that come up during home inspections: Roof Conditions: An aging roof can lead to leaks, mold, and major expenses. Inspectors evaluate remaining roof life and help buyers negotiate credits or plan for future repairs. Plumbing Leaks: Even minor issues like a leaky kitchen sink can raise red flags. The key is understanding whether the issue has been addressed and how serious it is. Electrical Problems: Outdated wiring, missing GFCI outlets, and insufficient amperage are common and can range from simple fixes to major upgrades. Mold and Moisture: Especially relevant in New England basements and attics, mold is both a health concern and a costly remediation item. Chimney and Structural Concerns: One buyer in Sue's story discovered a leaning chimney after purchase—a repair they took on themselves because the issue had been previously disclosed but not fixed. The Role of Negotiation and Education A major takeaway from the show is that home inspections shouldn't be viewed as deal-breakers, but as opportunities for negotiation and preparation. Sellers can provide past inspection reports and repair summaries, and buyers can use that information to make confident, informed offers. Melissa noted the emotional side of the process—how buyers interpret inspection reports depends greatly on perception. A leaky sink might be a quick fix to one person and a nightmare to another. That's where a skilled agent's guidance becomes invaluable. Don't Forget the Extras Aside from the standard home inspection, buyers can—and often should—invest in: Pest inspections Water testing Radon testing Septic inspections (Title V), which are typically handled by sellers in Massachusetts Sue also discussed renovation financing options like 203K loans, which can help buyers address costly issues like roof or septic system replacements without needing immediate cash out-of-pocket. Client Care Beyond the Sale Boston Connect Real Estate isn't just about transactions. Melissa and Sue also reflected on how the Pembroke office has become a community hub—from hosting Mother's Day events and summer ice cream socials to the beloved annual Holiday Open House with Santa. These client events aren't just fun—they're a reflection of our mission to build lasting relationships. Thinking about buying or selling a home on the South Shore?

In this episode of the Coast To Coasties Podcast, I continue my 2 part discussion with MST1 Gavin Kline about the newest Warrant Officer pathway in the U.S Coast Guard. The intention of the program is to give members in certain enlisted rates earlier opportunity in their career timeline to become Warrant Officers which benefits both the enlisted member with increased pay and responsibilities and benefits the Coast Guard by retaining their skilled specialists they have invested into more years than the old traditional Warrant Officer path. For members who join the Coast Guard as enlisted and prospect to one day become a Warrant Officer in the Marine Inspections field, this episode is a great listen to start planning and making the necessary steps early in your career to building a competitive package in your future. Note* the EMITP program covers Warrant paths to Marine Inspections not all encompassing of every Warrant program. Please enjoy and reach out to me if you have any questions or additional feedback!
