Gary McCullagh is preparing for the grueling Action Cancer Seven Peaks Challenge in the Mourne Mountains, honoring his late grandfather Roy, who died from cancer two decades ago. A seasoned hiker from Lurgan, Gary’s return to the Seven Peaks isn’t just about endurance—it’s a heartfelt mission to raise funds for cancer support, fueled by personal loss and the hope of helping others like a friend recently diagnosed. With rigorous training and deep emotional motivation, he’s ready to conquer the seven peaks in one day, turning his love for the mountains into a powerful act of tribute and compassion.

An Art Deco gem in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland, the Vogue Cinema is poised for a dramatic comeback—or demise. Listed for just £120,000, this last surviving cinema in the region is being called out by heritage advocates for being neglected by the council, which they say lacks imagination. With its rich history and stunning architecture, the building’s potential as a community hub or cultural landmark is undeniable. Now, the question is: will someone with vision step in to breathe new life into this cinematic icon—or will it fade into obscurity?

Ireland’s home emissions dipped five percent last year — but don’t celebrate yet. Milder winters, not greener habits, drove the drop, and the Climate Change Advisory Council warns we’re way off track for 2030 climate targets. The built environment report calls for urgent action: massively speed up home retrofits, install more heat pumps, and fast-track solar panels. While residential and commercial emissions fell slightly, projections show both sectors will overshoot their next carbon budgets by 22% and 62% respectively. Social housing retrofits are lagging — only 10,370 homes upgraded since 2021, needing 5,000 annually to hit the 36,500 target. Heat pumps rose 21% but still only hit 41% of the 2025 goal. Solar rollout must accelerate, especially for local authorities and apartment dwellers. Council head Alex White stresses Ireland’s heavy fossil fuel dependence leaves us vulnerable to energy shocks — the ambition is there, but execution is the real hurdle.
