Five-year-olds are an unpredictable bunch. We were hurtling across Venice lagoon in a water taxi when suddenly the engine cut out with a loud bang. While I was scanning all directions trying to decide which offered the best chance of not drowning, my particular five-year-old was giggling and loving every second. The engine re-started, we shot off again, and I slouched back content that the next eight days crossing northern Italy were going to be absolutely fine. Now, I know Venice, Florence, Pisa and Bologna aren’t the first places that come to mind when you think of being adventurous, or goin...

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar conceded defeat on Saturday as two constitutional amendments he supported that would have broadened the definition of family and removed language about a woman’s role at home were headed toward rejection in early vote tallies.

A Korean construction company is paying its workers almost €70,000 every time they have a baby in the hopes it helps to tackle the country’s low birthrate problem. The company has already paid a total of €4.8 million in a lump sum to employees who have given birth to children since 2021, including two families with two kids who received €138,000 each at a New Year’s staff meeting earlier this month. "If the current state of low birthrates persists, we will face a national existential crisis such as workforce decline and a lack of defence manpower necessary for national security," said Joong-ke...

Sarah Faith is a content and values writer at activist travel company, Responsible Travel. Last year we drove to France with friends. They took their electric car, arrived three hours late and had to deal with two tired children screaming through a 2am charging stop in a dark Lidl car park. It doesn’t have to be that way. With a little bit of planning your family holiday can be more sustainable - and more enjoyable - this summer.
