“I’VE BEEN LATE for job interviews. I’ve been late for trains. It’s par for the course and it shouldn’t be.”
Róisín Dermody is rarely late due to lack of planning. She opts for taxis when she doesn’t know where she’s going as she needs “a pair of eyes that are working” to get her to the specific building or new door.
But she tends to only take taxis “as a last resort” as she finds other forms of public transport “far more reliable”.
Lucas Herbert’s coach Dominic Azzopardi shares his insight into how the team are preparing Herbert’s body and mind to put in a strong showing at this week’s US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island Resort.

The Irish fintech is teaming up with mobility company Bolt to tackle the issue of tipping in an increasingly cashless society.
Irish start-up Strike is bringing its contactless tipping tech to taxis in Dublin through a new partnership with Bolt.
Passengers will be able to tap the Strike tag or scan a QR code with their phone in a Bolt taxi, and pay digitally with Apple Pay or Google Pay. The driver will receive the tip instantly via Strike.
Bolt, the leading European mobility platform focused on making urban travel more affordable, convenient and sustainable, has announced its intention to bring its e-scooters to Galway as part of an integrated transport system.
