Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Norman Williamson was taken to hospital in Dublin yesterday following a fall from the Tom Taaffe-trained Arctic Buck in a steeplechase at Leopardstown.
Dr Walter Halley, the Irish Turf Club medical officer, said: "He was initially unconscious but had come round when I got down to the fence."
Williamson was taken by ambulance to St Vincents Hospital where a spokeswoman said last night: ''His injuries are very minor. He's fine and he's going home.''
