In a statement this evening, the family of “Murder, She Wrote” actress and singer, confirmed the news of her death, stating:
“The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 AM today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday.
She was pre-deceased in death by her husband of 53 years, Peter Shaw. A private family ceremony will be held at a date to be determined.”
London born, daughter of Irish actress Moyna Macgill and English politician Edgar Lansbury, Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury DBE (16th October 1925 – 11th October 2022) was an Irish-British and American actress and singer who played many film, theatre, and television roles. Her career, one of the longest in the entertainment industry, spanned over 80 years, much of it in the United States; her work also received much international attention. At the time of her death, she was one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.
Amid difficulties in her personal life, the five-time Tony Award winner and 6 Golden Globe Winnermoved from California to Ireland, owning two addresses in East Cork and earlier in Conna North Co. Cork. She once stated, quote “our gardener had no idea who I was. Nobody there did. I was just Mrs. Shaw, which suited me down to the ground. I had absolute anonymity in those days, which was wonderful.”
Irish audiences possibly will know her best as the much loved, sleuth ‘Jessica Fletcher’ from the American television whodunit series “Murder, She Wrote”, which ran for 12 seasons between 1984 -1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history.

- Pathway to Employment Permits will allow for eventual transition to Stamp 4 immigration permission and its wider entitlements.
Government has today approved the publication of the Review of the Atypical Scheme for non-EEA Crew in the Irish Fishing Fleet. This report and its recommendations follow an extensive consultation process with stakeholders involved in the scheme.
Minister for Justice Mrs Helen McEntee, Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment Mr Damien English and Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Mr Charlie McConalogue jointly welcome Government support for the recommended changes to the employment of non-EEA fishers in the Irish fishing fleet.
The Atypical Working Scheme (AWS) for non-EEA Crew in the Irish fishing fleet was established in 2015, as a cross Departmental response to address claims of exploitation and trafficking of undocumented non-EEA workers on certain categories of vessels, in the Irish fishing fleet.
Currently, non-EEA fishers can apply through the Department of Justice for a permission under the Atypical Working Scheme to work on a specific Irish vessel for a period of up to 12 months, but they are not eligible for consideration for the granting of an employment permit by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
The key recommendation of the Review Group is that the employment of non-EEA crew in the Irish fishing fleet should be provided for under the Employment Permit system (administered by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment), instead of the Atypical Working Scheme (administered by the Department of Justice). The sector will be required to submit a comprehensive business case to the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to support their inclusion in the Employment Permits System and a process of engagement has already begun in this regard.
The transition to the employment-permit based system would entitle employment permit holding Sea fishers to transition to a Stamp 4 immigration permission and the wider entitlements offered by that permission.
A cross-departmental group of senior officials in relevant departments and agencies will be established to oversee implementation of the transition from the current scheme to the Employment Permits Scheme. This group will be co-chaired by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The overall time frame for implementation of the report’s recommendations is expected to be approximately 12 months.
Publishing the report today, Minister McEntee said: “The publication of this report and its recommendations is the first step in putting non-EEA Sea fishers on a similar path to other Non-EEA nationals employed in the State in terms of entitlements and protections.
Non-EEA fishers and their employers will now be entitled to apply for an employment permit through the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
These recommendations will also benefit Sea fishers employers, by streamlining the permission process and making it easier to recruit non-EEA Sea fishers.”
Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue said; “I have asked my Department to examine the Review Report and to work closely with the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Employment with a view to ensuring the full implementation of the recommendations. I have also tasked an Bord Iascaigh Mhara with providing the fishing sector with any practical assistance necessary to support of the sectors access to the Employment Permit Scheme”.
Welcoming the publication of the report, Minister of State Damien English said: “The recommendations in this Report will go a long way to addressing the concerns raised by stakeholders in the sector. Of course, the Employment Permits system works very differently from the Atypical Working Scheme so it is proper that there will be a phased implementation in order to identify and address any challenges which arise and deal with these in the most effective way possible.”
The Minister for Health Mr Stephen Donnelly has warned the public that mask-wearing on public transport and continued mask-wearing in health settings, may once again become mandatory, if Covid-19 cases continue to rise. He made this statement following discussions last night with the Chief Medical Officer, Prof. Breda Smyth.
Fewer people are wearing masks on public transport, or indeed in crowded places like Supermarkets, Entertainment Centres, and Sports Arenas as life attempts to returns to normality.
While Ireland is not alone in seeing a rise in Covid; cases here over the past 14 days have risen as was predicted. Today we are aware there are 474 Covid-19 patients in our republic’s hospitals, of which 13 remain in intensive care units (ICU); thus forcing medical facilities to operate separate twin admission systems, while attempting to deal with Covid and non-Covid patients.
The HSE, currently, does not operate PCR tests for people under the age of 55 for symptoms of Covid-19, unless they are otherwise recorded as being unhealthy. This makes it difficult to get a true overall accurate image of the scale of infection within communities.
The Government’s current approach is to encourage further uptake of vaccines and booster doses, as advertised daily in media adverts.
Recent figures show that one in 40 people in Northern Ireland are currently infected, and with influenza and respiratory viruses also rearing their ugly heads, this in turn is bound to make conditions a bit more difficult over this winter and spring period.
Minister for Social Protection Mrs Heather Humphreys and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Mr Michael McGrath have confirmed the dates of when eight different lump sum payments will be doled out between now and Christmas.
The promised Autumn double payment will take effect from next Monday October 17th, benefitting some 1.4 million Irish residents.
The promised double child benefit payment will be paid on the week beginning November 1st., while the fuel allowance lump sum, of €400, will come into effect during the week commencing November 14th next.
On the same date, (November 14th), the promised €200 living alone allowance lump sum payment will be made to some 234,000 people.
There will be a €500 cost of living payment made to those in receipt of the working family payment, and a €500 disability support grant will also be paid over that same time period.
From November 21st next, a €500 carers support grant payment will be made to over 130,000 carers.
The welcome annual double payment Christmas bonus will be paid on the week commencing December 5th, 2022
With effect from January 2023; welfare increases of €12 per week will come into being, including a major expansion of the fuel allowance scheme.
No specific dates have been agreed yet in relation to the first of 3 promised electricity credits, due to be paid in November/December.
Given the level of uncertainty and volatility in ever increasing cost of living, the question of further payments will be kept under continuous review by the Government.
