Martin's party Fianna Fáil emerged with the most seats - 48 - of any party in the Irish General Election 2024. However, despite winning the most seats, Fianna Fáil was still far off from claiming the 88 seats necessary to make a majority, meaning another coalition Government is likely in store for Ireland. Discussions have begun amongst party leaders to see who can form a majority-winning coalition. The probability of a return to some sort of Fianna Fáil - Fine Gael coalition is high as together they have a combined 86 seats. Both parties have vowed not to go into a coalition with Sinn Féin, who emerged as the second-largest party with 39 seats, beating Fine Gael's 38 seats. Sinn Féin, meanwhile, said on Monday it had contacted leaders of the Social Democrats and the Labour Party and that it would be contacting other "progressives" during the week.

According to the PA, the Tánaiste said on Tuesday in Dublin that most of the work to form a coalition could be done by Christmas but “we have to focus on the issues." “I don’t think we will have reached agreement by Christmas,” he said. “But I’m sure that most people in the country want us to form a Government as quickly as we can.” Martin also refused to say which ministerial portfolios his party will want to take, saying he wants to “respect the process."

(RollingNews.ie) Last week, current Taoiseach Simon Harris, the leader of Fine Gael, touched upon the impact US President-elect Donald Trump will have on the timing of the formation of a new Government. “My concern is this, Donald Trump becomes President of the United States in January," Harris told the Irish Mirror on November 28 before voters went to the polls on Friday for the Irish General Election 2024. “I’d like if I had clarity that I was likely to be the Taoiseach. I’d like to be seeking an early meeting with President elect-Trump. “I don't want to be waiting until someone's handing over shamrock in the White House next March. I want an early engagement with President-elect Trump before he even takes office, if possible.” A few days earlier, the Taoiseach told Sky News that he was "preparing" Ireland for a possible "changed reality" regarding the economy when Trump begins his second presidency.

(RollingNews.ie) Meanwhile, a government official, speaking anonymously, told POLITICO on Tuesday that the choice of a “third leg to prop up the government stool” would add an edge to its Trump-era diplomacy. “If we let the independents into government, we could have Cabinet ministers singing Trump’s praises,” the official said. “If we get Labour on board, we could end up with Cabinet ministers calling him a fascist. “We don’t really want either option. We want to keep our heads down as much as possible, and fight our corner as quietly and politely as possible, for the next four years - and just hope and pray our economy’s still going strong on the other side.”

In a recent post on the , the woman, 21, said she recently matched with a guy, 25, on a dating app. "Let’s call him Jake," she wrote. "We’d been chatting for a few weeks, and he seemed like a solid guy — funny, good taste in music, and even remembered I loved Italian food," she continued. "He planned the date at this nice little spot in Dallas, which I thought was sweet." At first, everything seemed pretty normal. "He’s already there, we hug, and he even complimented my outfit," she wrote. "But like five minutes after I sit down, this older woman walks in. Jake stands up, waves her over, and says, 'This is my mom!' " The woman shared that she was in disbelief as her date’s mother proceeded to introduce herself. Related: "I kind of laugh nervously and say, 'Oh, I didn’t know you were bringing anyone,' and he goes, 'Oh, she just wanted to meet you. Don’t worry — it’s not a big deal,' " she recalled. As the date went on, the woman said his mom stayed at the table and made herself comfortable by ordering wine and asking her questions. "It was like an interview, not a date. Jake barely said anything. He just smiled and kept nodding like this was all normal," she wrote. Related: Finally, after roughly 20 minutes, the woman left. "I couldn't couldn’t take it anymore," she said, sharing that she told her date that she was not feeling well and ended up breaking things off with him via text later. But now, in the aftermath, she said she feels “kinda bad.” "My roommate says I did the right thing because honestly, who brings their mom to a first date?" she wrote. "But my coworker said it was rude to just leave and that maybe his mom was just super close to him or nervous for him or whatever." The woman was met with plenty of support in the comments section. "You’re definitely not in the wrong here. Bringing his mom to a first date without warning is a major red flag," read one reply. "First dates are about getting to know each other, not being grilled by someone’s parent. You politely excused yourself, which is fair given the situation. Don’t feel bad — you dodged an awkward future!" Related: "It’s absurd that he would bring her," added another commenter. "That is a very strange dynamic. You did what most anyone else would have done." However, another Redditor suggested that if the woman was willing, she could offer her date one last piece of advice. "If he's chill over text let him know the mom thing is not normal," the wrote. "Maybe he doesn't know!"

However, one sequence that led to a Cleveland Browns touchdown drive to give them a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers came into question. On a third down play, Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was being sacked but threw a ball near the line of scrimmage. Browns center Ethan Pocic caught the ball, but the debate was whether the penalty should be intentional grounding or illegal touching. #PITvsCLE jameis winston's illegal touch pass play that was initially ruled intentional grounding. it apppears he was trying to throw it deep to the two receivers in the middle of the field. luckily for him, he couldn't get it off, because otherwise may have been INT pic.twitter.com/i4hHOhDTWT The wrinkle in the play is that Browns' backup offensive lineman Michael Dunn had checked in before the play and was eligible. He was in the area. “In terms of intentional grounding, the quarterback was contacted, impacting the throw, and the crew confirmed that No. 68 had reported as eligible, and he was in the vicinity,” the NFL told Pro Football Talk. The excerpt in the rulebook says that not only can intentional grounding not be called if a defender hurts the throwing motion as Patrick Queen does here, but also that there has to be an intentional pass with no one in the area. It seems both do not apply. “It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that is thrown in the direction of and lands in the vicinity of an originally eligible offensive receiver.” As such, despite multiple calls in the game going against the Steelers, it does seem like the NFL referees nailed this one, and it should have only been a loss of five.

Donald Trump appointed the ex-girlfriend of his eldest son as the ambassador to GreeceOver the weekend, Arabic and Turkish outlets reported that Asma al-Assad, wife of deposed Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, was seeking a divorce after the couple and their family fled to Moscow two weeks ago. However, other sources are now stating that such claims are without merit. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Russian government, told reporters at a press conference on Monday that the stories about Asma seeking a divorce “do not correspond to reality,” while also refuting other claims that the Assads were being confined in the Russian capital and that their assets had been frozen (Bashar al-Assad has several properties in Moscow). The Daily Beast reports that Asma’s father, Dr. Fawaz Akhras, told the outlet via email that he is “able to confirm that the reports are false.” Rebel forces overthrew the Assad regime two weeks ago, marking a decisive shift in the ongoing Syrian civil war, which stemmed from large-scale protests against the regime that broke out in 2011. The popular uprising and Bashar al-Assad’s crackdown against it escalated, with armed opposition groups forming throughout the country, some wholly domestic and others backed by outside forces, including United States. By mid-2012, the conflict had escalated into a brutal civil war, with numerous atrocities committed on both sides in the following years. This would include mass executions and theocratic repression on the part of rebel forces, and al-Assad’s Russia-backed military deploying chemical weapons. While the conflict lay dormant after a ceasefire agreement was reached in 2020, a rebel coalition led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) went on an 11-day offensive, taking large cities like Aleppo and Homs, until finally reaching the capital of Damascus and toppling the government on December 8th. Rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa (who previously went by Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) is considered the new commander-in-chief of Syria’s interim government. Al-Assad and his family fled to Russia, where they were granted political asylum. Asma al-Assad, 49, was born to Syrian parents in the United Kingdom, where she lived until 2000 and worked as an investment banker. She moved to Syria at the age of 25 and married Bashar al-Assad, who had just succeeded his father, Hafez al-Assad, as leader of the country.
