U.S. winemakers have something to celebrate: the corks they're popping aren't subject to tariffs. Cork comes from the spongy bark of the cork oak tree, which is primarily grown and harvested in the Mediterranean basin. The framework trade agreement between the United States and the European Union singled out the material as an "unavailable natural product." So as of Sept. 1, cork joined a handful of other items, including airplanes and generic pharmaceuticals, that are exempt from a 15% U.S. tariff on most EU products.

The blaze erupted shortly after 7pm on Thursday in a commercial property just off Oliver Plunkett Street, one of Cork's busiest city centre retail and entertainment areas. Motorists were urged to avoid the area as multiple Cork Fire Brigade crews deployed to tackle the fire after the alarm was raised by pedestrians who saw smoke pouring from the building roof. The blaze also triggered a number of fire alarms.

Tim Dennehy, a 50-year-old man from Cork, pleaded guilty to multiple counts of assault against women, described as unprovoked and resulting in severe injuries.

A replay looked inevitable when Orlaith Cahalane found the back of the net, but it's almost fitting that Carrie Dolan's free won it for the Tribeswomen - she finishes the day with 0-7 to her name.

Kilkenny's first 35 minutes against Waterford in the 2008 All-Ireland final set a high bar with Limerick's opening stanza in the 2021 decider against Cork coming close, but Tipperary's second-half showing against the Rebels tops the lot and is the greatest half in hurling history.

Tipperary have opted to keep Darragh McCarthy in the lineup for the All-Ireland final despite his recent red card, illustrating their faith in his abilities.

Gardaí attended the scene and two bodies were located in the house, one man and one woman aged in their eighties, both deceased.

With the anticipation building around the Munster GAA Hurling Senior Championship Round 4, Tipperary's match against Waterford is set to be an exciting event.

The scene inside No 3 Grattan Street was one of disarray, with dog faeces present and unwashed dishes littering the sink, indicative of neglect.

A defensive front has begun to surface around Cork since their league triumph earlier this month, sandbags erected high to absorb the waves of apparent hype crashing in on their shores.

Micheál Martin emphasized that Luas Cork will greatly enhance the connectivity of the city by transforming its public transport network to be more accessible.
