ON International Women's Day (March 8th), 600 women from all walks of life turned up at a hip new conference centre called Base Camp in Copenhagen for the launch of a new food revolution called Belly Rebellion.

THEY don’t encounter too may puc fadas in the vicinity of the Himalayas, let alone the top of the world.

ONE of the two women members of Ireland’s Everest team withdrew from the climb yesterday after succumbing to a stomach bug.

FEROCIOUS winds forced the Irish team hoping to scale Mount Everest to return to their base camp yesterday.

IT may be sunny at home, but members of an Irish team climbing Mount Everest are praying for better weather to help them reach the summit.
