Man charged in connection with damage to Taoiseach Micheal Martin's Cork office
A man in his 30s has appeared in court, charged in connection with an incident of criminal damage after Taoiseach Micheál Martin's office in Cork was vandalised.

Pride for U2's The Edge as he becomes Irish citizen
It was a beautiful day for U2 guitarist David Howell Evans, known as The Edge, who was one of thousands of people to become Irish citizens at a ceremony in Co Kerry. Mr Evans, 63, was born in Essex and is the child of Welsh parents, but has lived in Ireland since he was one year old. Smiling while sporting a tricolour clip on his lapel, and wearing his distinctive cap, the famous guitarist appeared to enjoy every moment as he was conferred in the second ceremony of the day in Killarney. "Becoming an Irish citizen could not have been more meaningful than the present time," he said, after shaking hands with those beside him following the oath of allegiance. Speaking briefly to reporters afterwards, he described becoming an Irish citizen with so many others as "a monumental day for all of us". "I'm a little tardy with the paper work. I've been living in Ireland now since I was one. But the time is right," he said. "And I couldn't be more proud of my country for all that it represents and all that it is doing." The guitarist, who helped form the iconic Irish rock band U2 in 1976 along with his classmates at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin said Ireland is showing real leadership right now in the world. "It couldn't come at a better moment for me, so I am just so happy to be at this point to be in even deeper connection with my homeland," he said. He refenced his country as showing leadership in the world, supporting international bodies like the International Criminal Court and the United Nations and "speaking truth to power". Applicants from over 143 countries and across all 32 counties on the island numbering 7,500 made the declaration of fidelity and loyalty to the State and were officially conferred as Irish citizens. In total, seven ceremonies are held over two days, with Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Jim O'Callaghan joined by Minister of State with responsibility for Migration Colm Brophy and Minister of State with responsibility for International Law, Law Reform and Youth Justice Niall Collins. Speaking at the ceremonies, Minister O'Callaghan it was a "special and important occasion". "It is a great privilege to become a citizen of this country and obviously with it comes responsibilities and duties and I think everyone who is taking on citizenship will be aware of that," Mr O'Callaghan said.

Taoiseach blasts 'excessive' new social media checks for student US visas
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has slated 'excessive' new checks on social media accounts for students seeking to obtain United States visas. He argued that the US is already one of the 'more difficult countries' to access, and there has already been a decline in the number of young people applying and travelling on J1 visas. The US Embassy in Dublin confirmed on Monday that Irish students applying for certain US visas will be instructed to set their social media profiles to public as part of a new 'comprehensive and thorough' vetting process. Following a pause, it confirmed that it will resume taking applications for visas includes for J visas, used by people like students and teachers and F and M visas, both used by students travelling to the US to study. The new rules will require those applying for visas to set their social media accounts to public. A spokesman said: 'The US Department of State is committed to protecting our nation and our citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process. 'A US visa is a privilege, not a right. We use all available information in our visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to US national security. 'Under new guidance, we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting, including online presence, of all student and exchange visitor applicants in the F, M, and J nonimmigrant classifications. 'To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be instructed to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to public.' The embassy stated that visa applicants will be required to list all social media usernames or handles of 'every platform they have used from the last five years' on their application forms. It also warned that 'omitting social media information could lead to visa denial and ineligibility for future visas'. When asked about the US Embassy's announcement, the Taoiseach said that he did not 'approve of or agree with' the new measures. He said: 'I believe those measures by the United States are excessive. 'One of the great things in the modern world, has been the capacity for young people to travel and mobility is important. The US is probably one of the more difficult countries to to get into at times. 'So there is an issue around freedom of speech, but it's more the atmosphere that's created by these measures, the fear and the anxiety that young people will now experience travelling. My understanding is applications are down in terms of J1. We have witnessed a pause on the processing of J1.' The Taoiseach also said there has been a 'long-standing relationship' with America and its young people travelling around Ireland. He also stated that 'good intelligence' and 'good security' should be able to stymie any potential attackers. The US Embassy spokesman confirmed that its Dublin embassy will resume scheduling F, M, and J nonimmigrant visa applications soon. He added: 'Every visa adjudication is a national security decision. 'The United States must be vigilant during the visa issuance process to ensure that those applying for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans and our national interests, and that all applicants credibly establish their eligibility for the visa sought, including that they intend to engage in activities consistent with the terms for their admission.'

"I believe those measures by the United States are excessive. I don't approve of them. I don't agree with them," Mr martin said. While there was an issue in relation to freedom of speech, Mr Martin said it creates an atmosphere of fear and anxiety. The number of J1 applications are down this year, Mr Martin said. "There is an issue around freedom of speech, but it's more the atmosphere that's created by these measures, the fear and the anxiety that young people will now experience travelling," the Taoiseach said.
