Baftas: Condon and Keoghan among the winners on successful night for the Irish
Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan were among the winners on a proud night for Irish cinema at the Bafta awards on Sunday. The Banshees of Inisherin, which starred Condon and Keoghan, won four awards in all, including best original screenplay. Colin Farrell, Daryl McCormack and Paul Mescal missed out in the best actor category, with the award instead going to Austin Butler, who starred in the biopic film Elvis.
The Government is scrambling to temper public expectations about the scale of cost-of-living measures being announced on Tuesday. Ministers have said the package on offer will be significantly less than the measures announced in the budget and The Irish Times understands that it may not reach €1 billion. There is to be a focus on targeted supports – particularly for social welfare recipients – and the prospect of a new €200 electricity credit for all households is seen as very unlikely.
