    Fianna Fáil leadership; electricity prices; unfair dismissal against X; 1926 census records

    The Fianna Fáil parliamentary party is rallying around Michaél Martin amid pressure for new leadership of the party, the Irish Times understands. Electricity prices could rise as soon as May or June, energy industry sources have said. A man who took the social media giant, X, to court for unfair dismissal has had his payout reduced to €201,000 down from more than €500,000. It’s three years since the start of the war in Sudan this week. The UN has described it as the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. Records of the 1926 census are to be published on Saturday, the first to be made public since the State became independent.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Gas price warning, Taoiseach under pressure, and broke Floyd Mayweather

    Europe faces higher gas prices “for years” to come even in the best-case scenario, and possible shortages in the supply of diesel and jet fuel in the short term if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, the European Union’s energy commissioner Dan Jørgensen has warned. The oil and gas shock caused by the US-Israeli attack on Iran and Tehran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused the cost of electricity to sharply diverge in Europe, with some countries cushioned while others feel the pain. Taoiseach Micheál Martin is facing renewed backbencher unrest in the wake of a destabalising week of protest and the resignation of former Independent minister Michael Healy Rae. More than 1,300 people over the last two years who had left direct provision sought emergency accommodation in Dublin because they were homeless, a report provided to a Dáil committee reveals. With his $1bn fortune blown, Floyd Mayweather might just need to fight again. Now 49, the former world champion is being pursued by the taxman for millions. A Netflix payday may beckon.

    Government survives confidence vote; fuel prices; basic income for artists, traveller’s community

    The government has survived a confidence vote in the Dáil but what could the impact of the resignation of Michael Healy-Rae as a Minister for Agriculture mean? Cuts to fuel excise duty came into effect at midnight, but motorists are being warned not to expect an immediate fall in prices. The Basic Income for the Arts scheme has caused “segregation in the artistic community” and allowed people to take advantage of the system, artists have said. Residents at Dublin’s oldest Traveller housing site are “devastated” at news its redevelopment, promised for almost 30 years, is not going ahead. Hosted on Acast.

    Gardaí cracking down on protests; fuel cuts to kick in; National Museum storage; job losses and AI

    Gardaí are warning that fuel protesters who block roads or slow traffic on motorways will now face arrest, detention and will have their vehicles towed away. Cuts to fuel excise duty will kick in at midnight tonight, but oil prices continue to surge after the US began a blockade of Iranian ports near the Strait of Hormuz. The building housing the National Museum of Ireland’s collection “presents a significant long-term risk”, the chair of the museum board’s chair has said. Job losses as a result of artificial intelligence could have a much greater impact on the economy than the crash of 2008, and will impact the mental health of Irish citizens.  Hosted on Acast.

    Government fuel support, consumer complaints figures and Rory McIlroy is The Masters champion again

    The government has announced a €505million package to help support the rising cost of fuel following a week of protests across Ireland.

Children are being exposed to gambling sites run overseas which don’t require age verification, according to the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland. Rory McIlroy has become only the 4th golfer to win The Master’s back to back.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Third day of fuel protests, gambling tipster faces questions, and AI coming for Irish white collar jobs

    We are in for another day of disruption due to fuel protests. The Taoiseach has condemned the blockades of depots and the State’s only oil refinery, Whitegate in Co. Cork. Some demonstrators say they will go home if the government agrees to meet them. A fragile ceasefire remains in place in Iran after US president Donald Trump accepted a deal with regime leaders. But Sally Hayden in Beirut says Lebanese people were devastated to realise the ceasefire does not apply to them, as Israel bombarded at least 112 sites yesterday. An Irish racing tipster, with over a million followers on social media, is facing questions over posts promoting an unlicensed and unregulated gambling company. Rob Heneghan, who runs Pro Sports Advice Ltd, claims he’s the “most-followed horse racing pundit in the world”. And there’s a stark warning that the AI revolution could hit as many as 7 percent of Irish jobs, chiefly affecting higher-skilled and white collar workers. The report was conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute for the Department of Finance. Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    99 days of petrol reserves, heightened terror alert, and family finances after separation

    It is understood officials from the National Oil Reserves Agency will tell government ministers today that the country has reserves of petrol for 99 days, diesel for 85 days and kerosene for 70 days. Meanwhile European governments have been told they should be on heightened terror alert and warned they must protect critical infrastructure and other “soft targets” as the Middle East crisis escalates. Family finances can be challenging at the best of times but, for separated parents navigating co-parenting, it can be a source of tension. Joanne Hunt examines the issue in her Money Matters column today. The chief executive of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is asking councillors to support the redesignation of south Dublin golf facilities for future housing despite strident opposition from locals and the owner of the lands. Seán Moncrieff says he’s received many messages wondering, variously, where is weekend column has gone, has he been fired, and even accused “what did you do?” Presented by Aideen Finnegan.
