Heinz, one of the world’s best-loved food brands, is rolling out an innovative 100% recyclable cap for its famous Heinz Tomato Ketchup squeezy bottles, meaning the whole bottle – including the cap – can now easily be recycled in regular kerbside collection, starting from next month.

The move means a potential 300 million plastic caps annually can be recycled, instead of finding their way into landfill.

Heinz spent years in intensive research, development and testing to create the first-of-its kind cap, made from a single type of material to make it fully compatible with kerbside recycling.

The old style Heinz cap used a flexible valve made from silicone which, while great for delivering just the right amount of ketchup, was typically a challenge to recycle. The new cap, made of a single, rigid material, is designed to be easily recycled while still providing the same perfect squeeze of the nation’s favourite sauce.

Jojo de Noronha, President of Kraft Heinz Northern Europe, said: “We know our consumers care about their impact on the environment and so do we, which is why we’re delighted to see our innovative, more sustainable caps on Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottles across Ireland. Although a small change, this makes it easy for the millions of Heinz lovers across the country to recycle their whole squeezy bottle at once – a small action with big potential for impact.”

The introduction of the new cap is part of The Kraft Heinz Company’s larger ambition to make all of its packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025, and to reduce its global use of virgin plastic by 20% by 2030.

In addition to being fully recyclable, studies by Heinz revealed that another benefit of the new caps is that they make it easier to squeeze out sauce when the bottle is nearly empty – which will be music to the ears of (and sauce on the plates of) anyone who has ever found it tricky getting their favourite ketchup out of the bottle.

The new, more sustainable caps on Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottles will be easy to spot: Simply look for the 100% recyclable message on the cap.

The caps are being rolled out this summer across Ireland on 400ml and bigger top-down bottles of Heinz Tomato Ketchup, including 50% Less Sugar and Salt varieties. In the future, the cap will also be rolled out across more of the Heinz sauces range in Ireland and across Europe.

Dingle Distillery is set to host a captivating event in honour of the latest release in its Wheel of the Year series, Dingle Lúnasa Single Malt. This exclusive tasting experience ‘A Celebration of Lúnasa’ will take place on Tuesday, August 1st, in the remarkable setting of The Fumbally Stables in Dublin. Whiskey enthusiasts and connoisseurs are invited to join in the celebration of Lúnasa, an ancient Celtic festival marking the beginning of the bountiful harvest season.

Lúnasa Single Malt, the fourth instalment in Dingle Distillery's Wheel of the Year series, pays homage to the rich traditions and folklore surrounding Lúnasa. This limited-edition release encapsulates the spirit of the festival and pays respects to the mother of Lugh, a god of Irish mythology, who is said to have died of exhaustion after preparing Ireland’s fields for farming.

Guests attending the exclusive tasting event will be treated to a journey through Dingle Distillery's collection, featuring the Samhain, Lá Le Bríde, Bealtaine, and new Lúnasa editions from the Wheel of the Year series. Alongside the premium whiskey serves, attendees will savour signature cocktails and a culinary experience curated by The Fumbally, three-courses showcasing local and seasonal ingredients inspired by the harvest. Dr. Kelly Fitzgerald, Head of the School of Irish, Celtic Studies and Folklore at UCD, will offer attendees a glimpse into the story of Lúnasa. The evening will culminate with esteemed storytelling performer, Aindrias de Staic, who is set to captivate the audience with tales of Lúnasa.

Elliot Hughes, the Managing Director of Dingle Distillery, says, "We are delighted to introduce Dingle Lúnasa Single Malt, the highly anticipated fourth release in our Wheel of the Year series. This exceptional whiskey pays tribute to our cultural heritage, and we cannot wait for whiskey enthusiasts to experience it. We extend a warm invitation to join us at our upcoming tasting event, where you will discover the true essence of our newest whiskey and immerse yourself in its rich heritage."

Crafted with care, Lúnasa Single Malt has undergone maturation in Bourbon casks with an exquisite Widow Jane Bourbon cask finish. The nose offers enticing aromas of ripe red berries, warm salted caramel, lemon sherbet, and creamy butter fudge. Upon tasting, the palate unveils the sweetness of barley sugar accompanied by a subtle hint of spice and tantalizing notes of dark chocolate with raspberries. The experience culminates in a lingering warmth from ginger and spice, leaving behind a delightful blend of dark fruits and caramel notes.

As part of the Wheel of the Year series, Lúnasa represents the fourth of nine limited-edition whiskeys from Dingle Distillery. The collection follows the rhythm of the seasons, equinoxes, and solstices, which will culminate in a special ninth release to honour Wren's Day—an esteemed event in Dingle's culture and heritage.

Lúnasa Single Malt (50.5% ABV) will be available for purchase from August 1st, 2023, at DingleDistillery.ie, as well as select off-licenses and stores nationwide. Priced at €85 per 70cl bottle, the new release is set to be highly sought by whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike due to the limited supply available of 10,000 bottles.

2023 will be the ninth annual Up the Hill for Jack and Jill fundraising campaign, which is kindly supported by global healthcare company Abbott, and organisers are hoping to raise €75,000 for Jack and Jill’s vital services for more than 400 families nationwide – equivalent to 4,167 hours of in-home nursing care and respite support.

Each €18 registration fee will help fund one hour of in-home nursing care and end-of-life support for children with highly complex and life-limiting medical conditions, up to the age of six years.

Your donation to Jack and Jill will help families across Ireland who need support to keep their child with such highly complex medical needs at home, where they belong, just like the Adams family.

Little Grayson Adams (age three), from Beaumont in Dublin, has been diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), also known as tuberous sclerosis. This is a very rare genetic condition that causes non-cancerous (benign) tumours to grow in the brain and several areas of the body, including the spinal cord, nerves, eyes, lung, heart, kidneys, and skin. For mum Dawn Adams, the support provided by Jack and Jill means so much:

“Without Jack and Jill, I wouldn’t get any time to myself. Grayson’s care is 24 hours a day. His condition means he has global developmental delay, cognitive and physical delay, is non-verbal and cannot walk. He also suffers from chronic epilepsy and has multiple seizures every day. It’s impossible to get childcare because people are afraid to mind him because of the seizures.

“When Grayson is with his Jack and Jill nurse, I know that he is 100% safe so I can have a much-needed rest. This precious time is the only break I get where I can fully switch off. I use the time to sleep, shower or catch up on everyday things like laundry – little things that are simply impossible to do while caring for a child with such complex needs.”

Participating in Up the Hill for Jack and Jill is simple and rewarding. Here are three easy steps to get involved:

Step 1 – On your Marks! Visit www.jackandjill.ie to register your Up the Hill fundraiser for just €18 per adult.

Step 2 – Get Set! Organize your Up the Hill fundraising event and rally family, friends, neighbours, and colleagues to join you or support your cause by making a donation.

Step 3 – Go! Choose a local hill, set a suitable date and time, grab your eco-friendly #UptheHill23 banner, and embark on your climb for a great cause.

 

All you have to do now is register here www.jackandjill.ie and plan for a fun day out!

A Laois community has come together to mourn the tragic loss of a father and his young son.

Eoin Fitzpatrick (36) and his 10-year-old son Dylan were taking a ride on a moped while on holiday in Turkey, when they crashed into a bus on Monday afternoon (July 17). Heartbreakingly, both of them did not survive the accident.

Dylan’s older brother was also with them on the family holiday in the Turkish city of Alanya, but he was not involved in the crash. The family, who live in Portlaoise, were due to fly home together in just a few hours, when the accident occurred.

In the wake of these two devastating losses, the community of Portlaoise has been expressing their condolences and support to the Fitzpatrick family. Members of the family have been attempting to make their way to Turkey to be with Dylan’s brother.

In an interview with the Irish Independent, Portlaoise GAA chairman Eamon Fennelly has spoken out about how the local community has been overwhelmed with grief following the sudden deaths.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and the extended family and we’ll be there to support them in any possible way that we can,” he stated.

Mr Fennelly then went on to describe the Fitzpatricks as a family that is “immersed in the club”.

“It’s a huge shock for everyone in the club. A lot of us were closely connected with Eoin when he was playing. He was a very good player,” Mr Fennelly recalled.

Meanwhile, Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley spoke of the family’s devastation, and how fourth class pupil Dylan was “very popular here in the neighbourhood, he would’ve played and mixed with all the kids”. 

“Really it’s an awful situation, and the mother of the boy was here,” he confirmed to RTÉ Radio 1’s News at One.

“She’s obviously trying to get to Turkey, to fly out at the moment. So it’s a really serious situation,” he added.

They recently opened up about not being able to decide on a name for their baby boy. Atkinson revealed she liked the name Rocky, but Gorka wasn’t keen on the name as it reminded him of the hit Sylvester Stallone movie.

The former Hollyoaks actress admitted, “It’s hard though naming a human isn’t it. We only had a girl's name picked out”.

“Rocky’s definitely not going to happen, he [Gorka] won’t have it. I don’t know, it might change when we see him, who knows?”.

Gemma announced she was expecting the pair’s second child back in January alongside lovely family photos with her fiancé and three-year-old daughter, Mia. 

Congratulations again to Gemma and Gorka as they embark on this exciting new chapter as a family-of-four.
