The State of Corporate Venture Capital in 2024
Mature and financial funds spend a lot less time managing relationships with their corporate parents than newbie or strategic funds. Despite the extra time strategic funds spend with their corporate parents, 35% of strategic CVCs have a deal blocked by executives frequently or occasionally, compared to just 7% for financial CVCs.

State of the Markets Report H1 2026
VC-backed companies are facing compounding challenges—the revenue required to fundraise is higher today, yet revenue growth rates have slowed substantially. These higher benchmarks to raise are contributing to far lower graduation rates and more companies turning to extension rounds to meet runway shortfalls.
The State of CVC 2025
Financial CVCs are more likely than their strategic counterparts to be off balance sheet and far more likely to have a multi-LP structure. Off balance sheet models offer greater compensation and independence. In an era of less scrutiny on corporate spending, more funds are considering adopting them.

Class act Kate O'Connor leading light in new era for athletics
As they signed off on another golden evening for Irish athletics and Irish sport, Sonia O'Sullivan, Rob Heffernan and Derval O'Rourke all used the same word to describe what they witnessed over the previous few hours.

Stephen O’Hanlon’s rise was no slam dunk despite dream Monaghan debut
For those Monaghan supporters who were there that dreary January afternoon, it is difficult to forget. Few players have introduced themselves on the inter-county stage in more spectacular fashion than Stephen O’Hanlon did.

The All-Ireland champions were down a few of their bigger names, such as Stephen Cluxton, James McCarthy and Dean Rock.

3 players to watch in Heimir's new Ireland squad for Grenada friendly
Mark Gallagher Heimir Hallgrimsson says that the preparation for Euro 2028 begins when Ireland convenes for a ten-day training camp in the south of Spain. The camp at La Finca resort, near Murcia, was originally set to bridge the gap for Irish players whose Championship season ended last weekend and the start of the World Cup in June. However, its purpose altered following Ireland's play-off defeat in Prague and the Icelander is now looking towards the future with his 21-player squad.
Westmeath uncovered: Inside track on their bid for football history
ON the Thursday before Westmeath faced Meath in the Leinster quarter-final, Mark McHugh kept his panel of players in Cusack Park until just after midnight, making sure that each and every one was aware of their task in the ambush that they had planned. The Midlanders rattled the net four times against their neighbours — one of three of their nine League and Championship matches this season when Westmeath have scored four goals or more.
David Clifford insists race for All-Ireland is still wide open
David Clifford insists the race for Sam Maguire is wide open this year and there are nine or 10 teams that could knock Kerry off their perch. The Kingdom are strong favourites to retain the All-Ireland title but the reigning Footballer of the Year feels that recent shock results — such as Down beating Donegal and Westmeath defeating Meath — prove that the new rules have become a leveller in Gaelic football.

Sensational O’Sulllivan ‘on a different level’ as Ireland record double win over Poland
Carla Ward has hailed Ireland’s gritty 1-0 win over a stubborn Poland side as ‘a proper Irish performance’ in that they had to dig deep at times, but she also praised her players’ ability to absorb information as key to how the team have grown in this campaign. ‘That’s what you’d call a proper Irish performance; you have to dig deep, you have to defend in a slightly different way.
Ward thrilled to give Ireland football a boost following agony of Prague
Carla Ward says she is thrilled her team were able to give Irish football a lift following the gloom of the men's team not qualifying for the World Cup.

Emily Murphy opened the scoring before captain Katie McCabe scored an absolute screamer.

Here's the three key factors in Ireland beating Czechia in Prague
So it's finally here, Ireland are in Prague to face Czechia in the World Cup qualifying play-off on the first step towards qualifying for their first World Cup since 2002.

Ireland boss Carla Ward didn't hide her disappointment after a courageous effort from her side came up just short in Tallaght last night.

Time to celebrate: The Arc Cinema Daventry turns four with £4 tickets
Mark Gallagher It's the perfect opportunity to catch some fantastic films on the big screen — starting with the highly anticipated Scream 7 , which sees Ghostface return to terrorise a new generation as dark secrets resurface.

Irish luge star 'heartbroken' after sport body 'broke its own rules'
Irish luge star Elsa Desmond says she feels let down by her sport and that the International Luge Federation (FIL) effectively broke its own rules to let an Individual Neutral Athlete, Russia’s Daria Olesik, qualify for the Winter Olympics ahead of her. Ms Desmond, who competed in the 2022 Games in Beijing, had hoped to secure a spot in Milan Cortina for this month’s event, but was forced to accept yesterday that her dream of competing would not come true.
Katie McCabe could be set for Arsenal exit with huge US interest
Ireland captain Katie McCabe looks set to leave Arsenal this summer when her latest contract expires, although there is believed to be plenty of interest from clubs in both the WSL and America's NWSL.

Substitute Caitlin Foord scored the extra-time winning goal in the 3-2 victory over Brazilian side Corinthians, adding it to the Champions League triumph last May.
James McClean's Derry City return hailed as 'huge boost' by rival boss
Stephen Bradley believes that James McClean's return to Derry City is another huge boost for the League of Ireland as his Shamrock Rovers side prepare to face the Ireland centurion in the President's Cup this evening (Tallaght Stadium, 5pm).

Kerry boss feels laws have gone too far after controversial win

Club final showed it is time for GAA to look again at the four-point goal in football
In a game of so many magical GAA moments, Ruaidhrí Fallon's marvellous two-pointer in the final seconds of added time at the end of normal time still stands out. Not just for the purity and beauty of the strike, and the clever way that Conor Hand took a slew of Dingle defenders out of the game with the assist. But because, with St Brigid's two points behind, only a shot from outside the 40-metre arc was going to save the Roscommon champions. In the end, of course, it didn't matter.

A look back at the GAA legends that retired in 2025
With 2025 coming to a close, it's time to have a look back on what was a big year for the GAA.

With the Allianz League about to start in a few weeks, let's have a look back on who we won't be returning next year.
Just for kicks — Charlie Smyth's remarkable rise as he marks new contract
Mark Gallagher Charlie Smyth is barely putting a foot wrong – on the gridiron field or off it. Sunday was another chapter in the remarkable rise of the Mayobridge native , as he marked the new three-year contract he has been given by the New Orleans Saints by nailing five field goals and two extra points in the 29-6 win. Smyth's five converted field goals in one game equalled the record for the most in Saints' history – and this was only his fourth game.
Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul: Entertainment? Only The Donald thinks so...
The BBC Sports Personality of the Year pitched up in Miami’s Kaseya Center on Friday night. It’s not too far from his home in Jupiter, so maybe Rory McIlroy just figured it would be a fun way to pass an evening. Netflix, of course, grabbed him for a prediction and the Masters champion, like the rest of the world, could see nothing but Anthony Joshua knocking out Jake Paul.
Here's the shockingly small number of play-off tickets for Ireland fans in Czechia
Republic of Ireland supporters face a scramble for tickets for the World Cup play-off semi-final against Czechia after it was confirmed yesterday that Fortuna Arena, home of Slavia Prague, will be the venue for the March 26th showdown. Given that the arena, also called ‘Eden', has a capacity of only 19,300, it means there will be fewer than 1,000 tickets made available to Irish fans , with Czech officials saying they will put measures in place to ensure that no away fans enter the home end.

Draw hands 'Lucky General' Heimir Hallgrimsson huge incentive to get Ireland to World Cup
South of the border, down Mexico way is where Ireland might play at next summer’s World Cup. And if they can overcome the two substantial obstacles posed by Czechia and either Denmark or North Macedonia, Heimir Hallgrímsson conceded that it is a World Cup group that his team would fancy their chances of emerging from. Aside from Mexico, Ireland would be pitted against South Africa and South Korea.
Vientiane Times
Europe and the Indo-Pacific: Partners for a Resilient Future Europe and the Indo-Pacific are working closely together to support shared growth, resilience and sustainability, bringing people, trade and the environment together across continents. Since the European Union launched its Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific in 2021, Europe’s presence in the region has grown stronger and more engaged.
‘We are in a positive spiral'
Heimir Hallgrímsson says he never stopped believing Ireland could reach the World Cup after Troy Parrott booked the team a play-off spot in the most remarkable of circumstances in Budapest yesterday. With the game in the fifth minute of injury time and Ireland’s dream of making America next summer slipping away, Parrott got on the end of Liam Scales’ flick and poked the ball into the Hungarian net for his hat-trick. Cue pandemonium.
'We have it now'- Heimir's hopes are high for Ireland's qualification chances
Heimir Hallgrímsson believes an advantage may lie with his team ahead of tomorrow’s clash with Hungary, as Ireland know they have to win, whereas a draw will be enough for the Magyars. Thursday’s superb 2-0 win over Portugal means Ireland has taken this World Cup qualifying campaign to the final day, something that has not happened since the Euro 2020 qualifiers, when they also needed a win against Denmark in the last game, but could only muster a 1-1 draw.
Troy Parrott praises Irish fans for 'energy' during Portugal win
On a monumental night at Lansdowne Road, Troy Parrott breathed new life into Ireland’s World Cup campaign with a brilliant first-half brace, ensuring that Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side now travel to Budapest, full of confidence, ahead of Sunday’s showdown with Hungary.
Heimir's miracle gives Ireland a Hungary feeling
Well, nobody expected this. With this campaign, and his tenure, hanging by a thread, Heimir Hallgrímsson wrung a performance from this team that nothing in the previous matches suggested they were capable of producing. Make no mistake. This was no smash-and-grab.
All of us who've battled cancer can only feel disgust for DJ
Remember No Frontiers? Nor did I to be honest, until a clip from the holiday show popped up on our telly the other night. As a television show, it was very much a child of the Celtic Tiger. A smidgen of style and no substance. Tropical destinations and train trips through the Swiss Alps were sold to us by faux celebrities that were usually found in the RTÉ canteen, all with Sophie Ellis-Bextor singing ‘if this ain’t love’ in the background.
