Two women who advertised a household cleaning service on Facebook but “cleaned” out a client’s house of almost €2,000 in personal items have escaped a jail sentence.

Ireland pony show jumping team manager Tom Slattery is confident his charges will rise to the occasion as the European Championships return to Millstreet next week after 25 years.

The organisers of the Owners’ Pony and Young Riders Show are aiming to celebrate raising €250,000 for charity at Millstreet this weekend.
