Here's What Happened Today: Sunday

A roundup of Irish and international developments for Sunday highlights multiple major incidents. In Ireland, Gardaí are investigating a fatal stabbing in Dublin’s Blackhorse Avenue area in the early hours, and the bodies of four family members killed in an arson attack in Waterford have arrived at church ahead of their funeral on Monday. Transport Minister of State Seán Canney urged parents not to buy e-scooters for children this Christmas, saying they are vehicles rather than toys. Other items include figures showing the HSE overpaid staff by more than €30 million over three years, and a protest in Midleton, Co Cork over alleged lack of “meaningful protections” since Storm Babet in 2023. International notes include a deadly fire at a Canadian military base and widespread arrests in France.
