If you're buying food today, or trying to top-up your Leap Card, or pay a bill you might run into a spot of trouble if you're a Bank Of Ireland customer. 

That's because the bank is experiencing 'technical difficulties,' and a lot of its cards simply aren't working. 

Twitter today has been flooded with frustrated folk who claim that they're unable to access funds via ATM withdrawals or electronic visa debit payments.

The institute said in a statement today: “We are aware some customers are experiencing technical difficulties using their visa debit cards. Please be assured we’re looking into it, and apologise for the inconvenience.”

The Irish Times reports that Bank Of Ireland’s stock was the worst hit by Brexit on the Irish stock market on Friday, having been down 25 per cent at one stage. Bank Of Ireland takes close-to a third of its earnings from the UK.

It's been six years since any version of the Sugababes has created an album so it's pretty exciting to hear that the band's three original members are set to release a comeback album.

According to NME, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy are working on new music which will be released at some stage in 2017. 

Singer Siobhán Donaghy told Wandsworth Radio: “Sugababes have got a record coming out next year. I can’t tell you the exact date."

"I know, but I can’t tell you. It’s next year.”

“We’ve been back and then there was a bit of a break. But we’re working on it again, so it’s exciting.”

Siobhán was the first member to leave the girlband on a solo venture back in 2001.

She was replaced by Heidi Range while she released the solo albums Revolution In Me and Ghosts.

By 2009 the three original girls had been totally replaced.

They decided to reform as Mutya Keisha Siobhán in 2012 and released Flatline together the following year but this is the first time they will reunite as the Sugababes.

We all know it might be hard to keep up with the Kardashians, but it's even harder to keep up with the Jenners right now.

Ever since Kylie and her older sister Kendall carved out their own careers and established their own specific fan base, their respective lifestyles have been subject to intense scrutiny.

And while attention generally focuses on Kendall's modelling career, Kylie's love life is more often than not the subject of discussion on various social media platforms.

So, it's no surprise that Kylie's on/ off boyfriend, Tyga, has grabbed headlines this week after uploading a controversial snap of the youngest Jenner sister.

After sharing a snap of Kylie perched on his bed alongside a snide caption which read 'They always come back', 26-year-old Tyga added further fuel to the fire that his romance with the cosmetic queen was officially back on.

However, it looks like the rapper had a change of heart – which we're hoping was due to his seriously disrespectful caption – and decided to delete the post, but not before die-hard fans caught sight of it on his page.

The snap, which clocked up a whopping 27,921 likes before it disappeared, is only the latest instalment in the Tyga/Kylie romance, so watch this space…

It doesn’t get more glam than the races, does it really? Where else can we get dressed up to the nines, wear a mad hat and quaff Prosecco – and all before we’ve even had our lunch?

So of course we had to hotfoot it to the Curragh over the weekend for a gawk at the schtyle at the Dubai Duty Free Derby. It might have been overcast, but that didn’t stop us clocking the uh-mazing fashion from behind our looks-like-Céline-but-are-actually-Penneys shades.

Former S Clubber and all round beaut Rachel Stevens (teeny in real life, absolutely teeny) was on hand on the day to pick the Most Stylish Lady, along with Breeda McLoughlin representing Dubai Duty Free, James Amos representing Boodles, IMAGE Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Melanie Morris and Irish Independent Fashion Editor, Bairbre Power – and we have to say we were well on board with their choice.

Winner Eva Hayes Morrissey from Limerick rocked a VERY similar look to Kate Midleton at Prince George’s christening in a cream dress from Cork boutique Phoenix V, shoes by Carvela and a stunning hat bedecked with cream blooms and birdcage veil by Irish milliner Carol Kennelly.

Oh, and did we mention this woman gave birth 10 WEEKS AGO?

And while we think she’s a worthy winner, we’re beyond jeal at the prize (brace yourselves). Eva won a luxury trip to Dubai to spend five nights at 5-star hotel The Jumeirah Creekside plus a grand spending money; a Boodles diamond pendant from their “Roulette” collection; an overnight stay at the swanky Marker Hotel in Dublin; a luxury Ladurée hamper which includes Afternoon Tea for two at their flagship store and a Jennifer Wrynne Boutique voucher worth €500.

Diamonds and Dubai? Yep, we’re so happy for her! *goes into a corner to cry at our empty lives*

We were also totally lusting over Rachel’s incredible monochrome Self Portrait maxi, which of course she had to accessorize with the shoe of dreams, the Valentino Rockstud.

Yes, yes, ‘tis far from Rockstuds we were reared, but it doesn’t stop us dreaming right?

If Disney movies have taught us anything, it's that a relationship with a handsome prince is something every girl should aspire towards, but it seems reality is very, very different.

Opening up about the seven-year relationship she shared with Prince Harry, Chelsy Davy admits that she found it incredibly difficult to deal with the media intrusion and paparazzi attention that went hand-in-hand with a royal romance.

"I was trying to be a normal kid and it was horrible," she told The Times during an interview which dealt with her time in the spotlight and the effect her 'party girl' rep had on her.

30-year-old Chelsy, who qualified as a solicitor and currently promotes an ethical jewellery brand, admitted that the romance was far from the fairytale many of us would imagine.

Reflecting on the times she was chased by photographers desperate for a snap of the young couple, Chelsy said: "It was so full-on: crazy and scary and uncomfortable. I found it very difficult when it was bad. I couldn't cope."

Chelsy, who met Prince Harry in 2004, eventually called time on the relationship in 2011 before returning to her native Zimbabwe, saying: "It was nuts. That's also why I wanted to go back to Africa. Now it's calm, it's fine."

Despite rumours that the pair may be reconciling, Chelsy insists she and Harry are simply on good terms and says she'll always 'be good friends' with the royal.

Khloe Kardashian is celebrating her 32nd birthday today, and we want to celebrate with her. As our favourite member of America's first family, we think there are hundreds of reasons to rejoice in Khloe's day of birth. We have narrowed it down to the 5 main reason we wish Khloe was our friend/ sister…

1. She is the BEST aunt ever

Khloe loves her nieces and nephews like they are her own kids, and we love that about her!

2. Her hilarious facial expressions

Never afraid to look hideous, Khloe has pulled some of the best faces we have ever seen! 

3. Her KILLER dance moves

She dances like nobody is watching, WORK IT GIRL!

 4. Her positivity

She always gives her sisters (and viewers) the best positive advice. 

5. Her love of the sesh

Khloe loves to party, and so do we! 

Happy Birthday Koko! We assume our invitation to the party got lost in the mail…

Look, we all know there's nothing better than a full fry-up encased in warm buttery bread when you're hanging, and not being able to get your hands on one can be pure torture.

But even we draw the line at travelling the whole way to Co Mayo for one of the nation's go-to cures no matter how reasonable the price.

So, we're not sure how successful this Done Deal user is going to be after deciding to sell a jumbo breakfast roll online for a cool €2 this weekend.

Sharing a snap of the giant baguette – which has definitely seen better days – Ian Costello wrote: "Jumbo breakfast roll. Price is price. Zero mileage. No time wasters."

The ad, which was uploaded a day ago, has been viewed a whopping 944 times, but is still (shockingly) up for grabs.

Any takers?

Every girl knows prepping for a big event can be a bit of a bit of a trek, so wouldn’t it be great to have some go-to tips to make sure your skin, hair and nails look picture perfect on the big day?

Top model Rosanna Davison believes that outer beauty starts with inner health.

She’s teamed up with one of Ireland’s leading beauty supplement providers Perfectil to give us eight easy follow tips for getting big bash ready.

1. Turn down the heat:

Step down on the heated rollers, tongs and flat irons.  You’ll be amazed at the difference this makes to your hair health.

2. Eat your greens:

If you get a skin breakout before an event, eat lots of dark green, leafy vegetables like spinach and kale to help skin heal and fight infection and inflammation naturally.

3. Keep nails simple: 

Avoid having your cuticles cut or pushed back before a big event to prevent having red, swollen or ragged cuticles.

4. Moisturise:

 Start a really good moisturising routine and include regular massaging of your face, neck and décolletage.

5. Catch them Zzzs:

The simplest and easiest way to effectively prepare for a big event is to ensure your diet contains lots of beautiful skin foods, to stay hydrated, exercise and get lots of sleep.

6. Supplements:

Invest in and incorporate a really good supplement such as Perfectil into your beauty routine.  Perfectil has been developed based on 40 years of scientific research to provide beauty within.

7. Hydrate:

Combat pre-event stress with exercise and down time. Increase water consumption and cut down on processed, refined and deep-fried foods.

8. Carrots are key:

Add carrots and other nail nutritious foods that are rich with vitamins into your diet. Vitamins are crucial for strong and healthy nail growth.

The crowd went wild last night at the fifteenth annual BET Awards in Los Angeles, when Queen B took to the stage to perform a live rendition of Freedom, a track from her album Lemonade.

She opened the show with rapper Kendrick Lamar, who is set to headline Longitude this month in Marlay Park, and quite literally brought the house down. There was smoke, lava and some fireworks- casual Sunday night. 

BEYONCE

The best part? It was a total surprise! Bey was not supposed to be performing at the awards, and was not even included on the set list. 

The awards were established in 2001 by the Black Entertainment Network to celebrate African Americans and other minorities in music, acting, sports, and all other areas of entertainment.

To top off the major excitement of her performance, Bey also took home the award for Best Female R&B Artist! Among the other winners were Drake, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna.

What a night! All hail Queen B!

Wearing the face off your significant other – or indeed a random stranger who's caught your eye – is often part and parcel of a night out, but it looks like one bar in Galway has had to get stern on its patrons when it comes to this little issue.

Much-loved Galway hotpsot, Róisín Dubh, has taken to Facebook to remind its customers that the bar is only for ordering drinks, and not an invitation to play tonsil tennis in front of the poor bar staff.

Uploading a snap of a handwritten sign which reads 'No shifting at the bar please – sound', the good folk behind the cosy Galway hangout added:"Wait until after you get your drinks, please."

Commenting on the status which has been liked hundreds of times since its upload on Saturday, one Facebook user wrote: "To our visitors, this means no sloppy kissing or pulling at the bar until you've swallowed."

That's it ladies, you've been warned.

Tributes have been pouring in from models, designers and celebrities alike, who are all mourning the loss of a fashion industry legend.

The world famous fashion photographer, Bill Cunningham, passed away on Saturday aged 87 in New York, following a stroke.

 

I was so sad yesterday to hear of the passing of the legendary, Bill Cunningham. Here's a little story… I watched a documentary about this iconic NY street style photographer, called "Bill Cunningham New York" last year (a must see if you're into fashion, btw). I was so taken by this sweet man & his commitment to his art… you can't help but fall in love with him. All I could think after watching was, I want to be photographed by Bill! How cool would that be?! A few months later I was in NYC for fashion week. I stepped out of my car at the DVF show & photographers started snapping shots. I was so distracted by what was happening in front of me, that I didn't realize there was a familiar face in a familiar blue jacket taking pictures to my left. My stylist Madison (who is equally obsessed with Bill) gets my attention amidst the chaos & points at sweet Bill. What happened next was completely unexpected. I saw him, freaked out & excitedly screamed "BILLLL!!!". I'm pretty sure I startled him & he shyly smiled & took some pictures of me. A wave of emotion came over me & I started to cry. I tried to hide my tears of joy as I posed for a few more shots, hoping that people wouldn't notice. I made my way over to Bill & told him how much I loved him & asked for a picture. He was so adorable & kind & gentle. #RIP #BillCunningham It was an honor to have met you & to have been photographed by you. I hope wherever you are, you still have that camera of yours.

Cunningham is famous for saying ‘he who seeks beauty will find it’ and this could not be more true to fact when looking at his work. He had an eye for the magnificent, and a flair for the fabulous. We have Bill Cunningham for the idyllic street style that New York is famous for. 

Bill Cunningham

He will be missed by all lovers of fashion and photography. Rest in Peace you wonderfully talented man.
