Not many architects can claim half a dozen significant public buildings on their resume by the time they hit their early 30s. James Edward Rogers did exactly that, before retiring from architecture altogether at the tender age of 32.

Rogers appears to have had a talent – and presumably the connections – for building churches. Today, he is responsible for places of Protestant worship in Co Limerick, Co Kildare, Co Tyrone and at Howth, Skerries and Rush in Co Dublin.

Joey O’Brien has praised Seán Boyd for his reaction to his exclusion from the Champions League first leg with Linfield, suggesting that his impact off the bench is setting an example to the rest of the Shelbourne squad.

Boyd was a big player in their title-winning campaign last term and signed a new long-term contract over the winter amid interest from England and Scotland but has largely been restricted to an impact-sub role this season since returning from a lay-off.

Mipo Odubeko was preferred for the Tolka Park leg of the showdown with the Irish League champions and O’Brien accepted it might have been a tough decision for Boyd to swallow.

Irish Rail has announced that the eagerly-awaited new Dart station, located between Shankill and Bray, will be opened for commuters next month.

Woodbrook Station will open on Sunday, August 10, and will be at the heart of the new residential community in the Woodbrook-Shanganagh Strategic Development Zone (SDZ), which comprises up to 2,300 homes, including the new Woodbrook housing developments and the Shanganagh Castle social and affordable housing project.
