GOOD MORNING.
Here’s all the news you need to know as you start your day.
1. A senior manager at Tusla raised concerns over court assessors subjecting children to a controversial practice known as “immersion therapy”, which is used to encourage children to rebuild relationships with an estranged or abusive parent.
2. Donald Trump told the New York Post he was “supposed to be dead” after surviving an assassination attempt which he described as a “very surreal experience.”
“I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump told the newspaper in an interview aboard his plane en route to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention, where he is set to be confirmed as the party’s presidential candidate.
3. Biden warned yesterday of the risks of political violence in the US after Saturday’s attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump, saying: “It’s time to cool it down.”
In a prime-time national address from the Oval Office, Biden said political passions can run high but “we must never descend into violence”.
4. England’s wait for a first major men’s trophy since 1966 goes on after substitute Mikel Oyarzabal struck at the death as Spain inflicted a second successive European Championship final defeat on Gareth Southgate’s side.
5. The Minister for Health has announced an expanded flu vaccination programme for the winter to ease the pressure on hospitals.
Stephen Donnelly will today reveal that the Government are to provide ‘flu vaccines, free of charge, to all those over 60 years of age and to children aged two to 17 for the seasonal ‘flu vaccination programme for 2024/2025.
6. Donegal manager Jim McGuinness said he wasn’t happy with a number of refereeing decisions as Galway edged a tense All-Ireland semi-final.
In a two-point game that was level on 10 occasions, referee Brendan Cawley’s decision to award Galway a 66th-minute free for an apparent touch on the ground by Donegal’s Ciaran Thompson was a huge call.
7. The FBI is trying to learn more about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate former US president Donald Trump on Saturday.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was rushed off stage by Secret Service agents after several shots were fired towards him, piercing the upper part of his right ear.
8. President Michael D Higgins will meet with the Council of State this afternoon to consider the constitutionality of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024, which will preclude the Defence Forces from publicly questioning or commenting on government defence policy.
9. England ended Ireland’s hopes of securing a place in the final of the World Rugby U20 Championship for a second year in a row with a 31-20 victory in Cape Town.
Willie Faloon’s side had started the brighter and a try from Oliver Coffey gave them the initiative after just one minute.

I like the determination of the owner!
Great Idea…new for here….
Well done to all involved. Can’t believe RTE aren’t showing any of this. Great story.
Hope the last leg goes well for him. We’ll be there waiting! (May venture up this evening for the atmosphere!)
A lot of people have criticised this guy for spending silly money on a crazy idea! But from a business perspective this has been a master stroke! The free advertising this guy has generated couldn’t be bought! People will be “Dying” to stay there when its complete! !
“It wasn’t all plane sailing”
Fair play to him.
It’s not easy to overcome all the red tape and bureaucracy that was put in his way.
Boaty McPlaneface!
Are the wings going to be put back on when it’s in place?
Fair play to someone for making a go of a thing but isn’t glamping essentially camping in permanent structures? So sort of non camping camping like a chalet resort with a special name on it? It’s “put a fancy name on and whack the prices up”-ery.
I’ve just realised that this is exploiting hipsters with more money than sense. Bring it on.
Well done to all and the best of luck ✈️
This story is getting serious airtime! I wonder how much the owner is paying the Journal?
Q, sleep time..
Hi Rob, I think the journal are posting about this because it gets alot of “clicks” so the more clicks the better for the journal.
Lad your a fair clown..
I hope it takes off for him.
They Deirdre Whitney sounds like a right see you next tuesday
Should be a runaway success.

I would be very wary of being near, or getting into, any ex-Transaero aircraft given that Transaero lied to the British authorities following the Russian state sponsored assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, an ex KGB agent and critic of Vladimir Putin. It turned out the two Russian suspects in Mr Litvinenko’s murder travelled several times on Transaero aircraft between Moscow and London carrying quantities of Plonium 210, the radioactive substance used to kill him in a London restaurant. When the British authorities asked Transaero to test their aircraft for radioactive contamination Transaero said they had and they were all clear. However, when the Metropolitan Police impounded a Transaero aircraft at Heathrow as part of their investigation into Mr Litvinenko’s murder, they found it to be contaminated with the substance used to kill him. I, for one, would not get into a Transaero aircraft, decommissioned or otherwise.
