Gerry Hutch says “karma” has come for Daniel Kinahan as by-election run kicks off

Beaming down a Zoom call line from sunny Spain, Gerry Hutch told the Irish Independent that he intends to return to Ireland soon to formally kickstart his by-election campaign. He also had some pointed words for Daniel Kinahan following his dramatic arrest in Dubai. But what does Hutch’s upcoming campaign really look like, especially as he refuses to make any promises to the electorate? Does ‘The Monk’ have a realistic shot at rubbing shoulders in Dáil Éireann?

Extra: Inside the dozens of calls placed to PR firm Edelman in pursuit of the truth about Jim Glennon

On Sunday Jim Glennon, who served as a Fianna Fáil TD in the Dublin North constituency from 2002 to 2007, confirmed that he had offered a character reference for convicted sex offender Daniel Ramamoorthy. In a statement, Edelman Ireland announced that Jim Glennon’s tenure as non-executive chairman had ended before they were aware he wrote the character reference. The PR firm told the Irish Independent that his tenure ended in March, but an external announcement had not been made to the media. This was, “in line with our protocol, and it had been communicated to relevant contacts internally,” Edelman Ireland said in response to queries. On the question of who had been notified internally and when, the company said it would not be commenting further. Today on this Indo Daily Extra, Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Special Correspondent Catherine Fegan, to discuss the fallout from the revelations, and look at her pursuit for answers to the controversy as it unfolded.

Did Leo Varadkar have a point in the urban v rural Ireland debate?

Leo Varadkar may have climbed down and apologised after pitting urban and rural Ireland against each other, but he certainly sparked a spirited debate. Did he have a point, though?

How Daniel Kinahan became a heavyweight in Boxing’s shadows

Daniel Kinahan’s recent arrest marked a significant turning point in the long-running pursuit of one of Ireland’s most influential organised crime figures. Throughout this period of elusiveness, however, his presence in boxing was altogether more overt, with Kinahan routinely and openly name-checked by fighters and power brokers as one of the sport’s foremost figures. This episode of The Indo Daily is brought to you by our sister podcast Indo Sport. In an episode first published on Wednesday April 22nd, Crimeworld’s Nicola Tallant and journalist Kieran Cunningham join Joe to discuss Kinahan’s dual existence, his rise and fall within boxing circles, and how things are likely to play out from here.

After much speculation, a judge has refused to identify the former TD who provided a character reference for convicted child sex offender Daniel Ramamoorthy, who previously worked as an adviser for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. The Taoiseach has said it is “not acceptable” for public representatives to give such references. So, why has the politician in question not been named?

Portal episode

This podcast always seems to lean towards one side of a story and this episode highlights this extremely. Not one anecdote about how people in New York were acting questionablely on their side of the portal. So easy to blame the Irish and point fingers at our own.
