Looking to buy a family car to fit two car seats and good space in the boot. Basically looking a reliable spacious car. Had been looking at a Vauxhall Grandland X. Anybody have one of these? It’s probably between that and a trusty VW Tiguan. VW hard to beat. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Vinny Corey is to be appointed the new Monaghan football manager.
Monaghan will bring their exhaustive search for a replacement for Seamus McEnaney to an end later with Corey's approval.
It is expected that he will have his brother Martin at his side as a coach. Martin Corey has been with Mickey Graham in Cavan in recent years.
Other backroom appointments are expected by Corey who had a long and distinguished career as a Monaghan footballer, winning two Ulster titles in 2013 and 2015, before retiring in late 2019.
Corey is a Clontibret clubmate of Conor McManus and the expectation is now that the veteran forward will commit for another year.
Corey had been part of McEnaney's backroom team in 2021 and 2022, working as a coach and selector.

To make reunification a reality, O’Neill must win over those from a unionist background, or at least assuage them that she is no threat.

Cost of living crisis? What crisis lolWe went to Caiscais a little later in June - my second time. Perfect for combining beach with city break. We got the train too. You can do a tour by rickshaw if Lisbon - they will even theme it as you like (eg focus on food, wine etc). We visited Benfica’s stadium - you can get food or a drink looking out on the stadium if you time it right (we didn’t, they were closing).
We also went out to Sintra - old palace town place - not for kids but worth a look.
Some of the restaurants in the main touristy area of Cascais are overpriced, but there are some other lovely ones further up the hills (you’ll know what I mean).
Where are you staying? We stayed at Miragem hotel, it was brilliant.
I’m staying at the Miragem as well! I’m taking my kids, 21 & 19 so will probably go Sintra as well as a day trip to Lisbon.
