Over 110 council owned homes damaged in Leitrim during Storm Éowyn with repairs still to be carried out
114 council owned homes were damaged with over 70 homes suffering roof damage. The damage caused varied in level of severity and the repair works were prioritised based on the damage caused with roof repairs being carried out first to prevent an ingress of water into the houses. The council said this was a 'significant volume of work that took a significant amount of time' to carry out. However, a number of houses have yet to have repairs carried out, particularly damage to fences surrounding properties. Local Sinn Fein Councillor Padraig Fallon raised the issue at a recent Council meeting and asked when these repairs would be carried out. He said he has received a number of calls from local authority tenants who are living in properties that have been suffered damage to fences and other areas of the property. 'We had a lot of homes damaged in Leitrim. "Some of them had significant enough damage done to the roof and we know that would have been the priority for Council staff. "However, a lot of the other work remains to be done. I am getting a number of calls about this and that is why I put in the question asking when the works will be complete,' said Cllr Fallon. Cllr Fallon also questioned the financial resources available to the local authority to carry out this repair work and the Council confirmed a claim to the council's insurance company has been submitted. Cllr Fallon said some elderly resident whose fences were damaged are particularly eager to have the works carried out. ADVERTISEMENT "There are elderly members of the community who are living in local authority homes and saw the fences as a form of security. "They felt safer with the fence around their home and they are looking to have it repaired,' said Cllr Fallon. A spokesperson for Leitrim County Council said, 'There was a total of 114 Local Authority houses damaged by Storm Éowyn at the end of January 2025. "Of this, over 70 of suffered roof damage. 'The severity of the roof damage varied from minor, a small number of tiles removed, to more severe, a large number of tiles and ridge capping removed, with gutters and fascia and soffit also damaged. 'Significant work has already been carried out to repair the damage caused by Storm Éowyn. "Works were prioritised based on the severity of the damage, with repairs to roofs receiving priority in a bid to prevent the ingress of water into the properties. "Other less urgent repairs are still being completed, such as the repair of fences around local authority houses. 'A claim for funding has been submitted to our insurance company - IPB.'

It will mark the first time the seven band members will be together after completing their military service in South Korea. 'It was great to be alone, but when they come back, since they worked very hard, I'm going to honor them and give them great respect,' Jin said of BTS. 'They are my lifesavers, so I need to show my appreciation and take care of them.' He described the difference between Happy and Echo, explaining that on the new release he was 'able to capture my feelings better.' Of 'Don't Say You Love Me' Jin said, 'When you're in love sometimes you know that it's time to leave, but you can't bring yourself to do it. The song is about that emotion. So it's sad, but it's also bittersweet.' The musician also reflected on what it was like to have Tom Cruise on his YouTube show, Run Jin, earlier this week. 'He was responsible for my childhood cultural experiences, so it was a great honor to see him in person,' Jin told Fallon. He added, 'There is a small part of me that wants to do action movies, but I'm not as adventurous as Tom Cruise.' Jin will embark on his first solo world tour this summer. The #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR — complicatedly named after the singer's Run Jin variety show on YouTube — will visit nine cities this summer. Four of them — Anaheim, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark, New Jersey — are in the U.S. Each city is currently booked for two shows: July 17 and 18 at Anaheim's Honda Center, July 22 and 23 at Dallas' American Airlines Center, July 26 and 27 at Tampa's Amalie Arena, and July 30 and 31 at Newark's Prudential Center. The trek, which begins in South Korea and Japan before moving to the U.S., is currently scheduled to conclude in London and then Amsterdam. Jin teased the upcoming shows, telling Fallon fans can 'expect my 'not so bad' vocals.' 'On top of that, you can look forward to seeing my handsome face up close,' he said. 'Just a joke!' He added that he had the tour in mind while making Echo so he ended up with 'a lot more energetic songs.'

How to launch rockets without Elon Musk? Check Donald Trump's hilarious reply during mock interview with Jimmy Fallon
In a funny mock interview, Jimmy Fallon pretended to chat with US President Donald Trump about his public fallout with Elon Musk. The sketch was full of clever one-liners. Fallon began by asking Trump what went wrong with Elon. Trump replied, 'We broke up a little.' When asked what he thought of Elon last week, Trump called him 'totally brilliant.'. Then, the next day, he quickly changed it to 'dumb as a rock'. Jimmy Fallon asked if he'd ever felt such disappointment before, and Trump hilariously named his own sons, Don Jr. and Eric. When asked how many of Elon's children he'd met, Trump said, '1.6 trillion.' As the conversation moved to rocket launches, Fallon asked Trump how he'd launch rockets without Elon Musk if he cut SpaceX funding. Trump simply said, 'Bing, bing, bing, boom. It's gone.' Fallon also said that Trump might need a new best friend and wondered who that could be. The US president said, 'Hannibal Lecter', the fictional cannibalistic serial killer. Finally, Fallon asked how Elon was coping with the breakup. Trump claimed he was using 'hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine.' Fallon asked the world's richest man if it was true. Elon responded with a cheerful, 'Yes!' The segment was completely over-the-top and got big laughs for its mix of political humour, celebrity drama and Fallon's signature playful tone. Instagram users found it extremely funny. 'Wow to the person who found all these clips. I watched it like 3 times,' wrote one user. 'First time I've seen him answer questions so honestly!' quipped another. One user commented, 'No matter your feelings on either of them, this video is gold. 'bing bing bing boom'.' 'This is the most truthful he has ever been,' came another funny reaction. 'When two billionaires with rocket-sized egos collide, even Jimmy Fallon needs a helmet,' joked another. In January 2025, Elon Musk joined Donald Trump's inauguration rally and hailed his win. Trump soon gave Musk a government role to reduce federal spending and cut jobs. But. by March, tensions rose when Trump limited Musk's power after Cabinet members complained about interference. Still, they appeared friendly, even turning the White House lawn into a Tesla display. In May, Musk stepped down, saying he wanted to focus on his companies. Though both thanked each other, tension grew when Musk criticised a major Republican spending bill. Donald Trump claimed Musk was upset about losing electric vehicle subsidies. Their disagreement became public. Elon Musk, in a now-deleted tweet, accused Trump of being linked to the Epstein files.. Trump dismissed the feud, saying he was busy handling bigger issues like China and Iran. This apparently marked the end of their brief and rocky political partnership.
