    George Gibney found guilty of historic sex abuse; and wildfires rage across southern Europe

    Former Olympic swimming coach George Gibney, who’s 77 with an address in Florida, has been found guilty of sexually abusing four girls more than 50 years ago. Authorities in France have evacuated 10,000 people because of wildfires burning out of control near the Spanish border. Fires are also raging in northern Spain, Portugal, and Greece.

Personal records of children who were “boarded out” from religious institutions will be withheld from a new public archive set up to remember the abuse of women and children in 20th-century Ireland.  Presented by Andrew McNair.

    Aughinish Alumina exports to Russia; and customers to be offered human interaction on bank calls

A jury in the trial of a 77-year-old man on historic sex abuse charges will continue its deliberations today.

    Parnell Square attacker found guilty; EU presidency begins; and return to work mandates “narcissistic”

    Riad Bouchaker, who’s 52, has been found guilty of attempted murder in relation to the stabbing in Parnell Square in November 2023. Our legal affairs correspondent Mary Carolan recounts the events which left a child with life altering injuries. After authorities in Sweden froze the assets of a company owned by Rusal, which owns the county Limerick plant Aughinish Alumina, what next for the firm linked with exports to the Russian military machine? Ireland’s presidency of the EU has begun. What does it entail, and why does it matter? The entrepreneur Margaret E. Ward writes that return to work mandates, effectively ending remote or hybrid working models, is led by narcissistic CEO’s.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Metrolink agency; Spend like it's the 90s; Best new shows in July

    The Government is seeking to fast-track legislation which will allow for the establishment of a State agency to deliver the planed Dublin metro project. The Ukrainian Government has rejected a donation from Ireland of a fleet of armoured combat vehicles to aid in the fight against Russia. The Defence Forces’ 27 light armoured tactical vehicles (LATVs) were first acquired 20 years ago but had a poor reputation and frequently broke down. While so many of us are going gaga for 90s culture, there are money lessons to be learned from that decade. Opting to have a “1990s summer” could amount to financial savings as well as nostalgia. Looking for a new show to binge watch in July? Kevin Courtney has a roundup of the best new shows streaming this month. Presented by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.

    Aughinish Alumina; Unsafe vapes; World Cup hydration breaks

    Aughinish Alumina will be forced to pay up front for the costs of closing down the Co Limerick plant and repairing environmental damage in the area, under a new deal agreed with the State. Europe is being “flooded” by cheap vapes and e-cigarettes produced in Asia that often do not meet EU safety rules, dodge customs taxes and in some cases contain harmful and illegal substances, the head of the EU’s anti-fraud office has said. With more than one million taxpayer “units” paying tax at the higher rate of 40 per cent on their incomes and an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the pressure is on to deliver some form of relief in this October’s budget. Meanwhile our Government parties are still dreaming of income tax cuts in forthcoming budgets, most economists are predicting various shades of financial Armageddon, writes Eoin Drea. Fifa president Gianni Infantino says it doesn’t make any additional revenue from them. Stadium fans loudly boo them and TV viewers blast them on social media, but the hydration breaks introduced in this World Cup have been the bonus money spinner of the tournament, writes Bernice Harrison today.

    Fuel excise cuts to be phased out; Russian signal jamming of planes; competitive socialising

    Coalition leaders will consider plans to continue the reductions in excise on petrol and diesel, at least in part, beyond the July 31st deadline. However it is expected that the reductions introduced following the fuel protests in April will be tapered off over the coming months. The State is opting to retain out-of-date aircraft navigation systems as they are less susceptible to Russian jamming attacks compared to more modern technology, according to records obtained by The Irish Times. A marginal reduction in IT employment is probably one of the first manifestations of AI influencing the economy. John Fitzgerald writes that any future support measures need to be targeted at poorer households amid a gradual economic slowdown. From axe-throwing to augmented darts, Una Mullally is wondering what’s behind the rise in ‘competitive socialising’? Presented by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.

    It's not a heatwave; Women of the revolution; Veronica Guerin; USA's 250th birthday

    “As it stands right now, Ireland isn’t in heatwave conditions,” says Holly O’Neill, a meteorologist from Met Éireann, “although we recognise that it is unusually warm, of course”. Dublin City Council (DCC) is to commission a new monument honouring the women of Ireland’s revolutionary period, as part of a broader effort to address the historic underrepresentation of women in public spaces. Thirty years on from the murder of investigative crime journalist Veronica Guerin, her family say it is they, rather than her killers, who have suffered the true life sentences. It’s the USA’s 250th birthday tomorrow, Saturday 27th June. As the victor of the 20th century, it not only possessed unmatched political and economic power, but embodied admired values of constitutional government and freedom. This did not last.
