Trainer Paul Nolan has decided to call time on the career of his Grade One-winning hurdler Shinrock Paddy after he burst a blood vessel at Navan on Sunday.

FIVE people - three women and two men - were killed on the nation's roads over the weekend and a teenager was fighting for his life last night after being knocked down.

FOUR more people died on Irish roads this weekend, bringing to 70 the number of Irish people killed on the roads so far this year.

A man in his 30s is dead after a car crash in Co Meath overnight.
