    Dublin has been the main attraction on the political stage this week as 50 world leaders came to the capital for the European Political Community summit. 

    Micheál Martin has been enthusiastically playing host, and it appears to have largely turned out to be a positive week for the Taoiseach. 

    The Irish Independent's political team of Mary Regan, Aisling Moloney and Cónal Thomas have convened to break it all down; from continued full-throated support of Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky to what kind of food the various dignitaries have been enjoying. 

    There's also the public sector pay deal and the Taoiseach's political future to consider, following what has proved a very busy week indeed.

    A secret affair. Allegations of espionage. A corporate empire worth trillions of dollars hanging in the balance.

    For years, Jensen Huang was the face of Nvidia, the company at the centre of the artificial intelligence revolution and one of the most powerful businesses on the planet.

    But, this week, Nvidia was plunged into crisis after claims emerged that Huang had been involved in an extramarital affair with a woman alleged by US investigators to be a Chinese spy.

    Then came fresh reports of a second alleged relationship with a senior Nvidia executive, deepening the controversy engulfing the company.

    On today’s Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Elaine Burke, science and technology journalist and host of the For Tech’s Sake podcast, to ask how a secret affair became a national security nightmare.

    An Irish entrepreneur who describes himself as an “heir to chiefship and lordship” is being pursued in Arizona over claims of fraud and deceptive business practices. Antóin Commane (42) is alleged to have induced numerous individuals based in Arizona, California and England to invest their retirement funds and life savings into what they now claim was a “fake” business venture.

    In the Arizona lawsuit, Mr Commane has been accused of soliciting investment for Don’t Die Wondering (DDW), which was described as an e-commerce automation “vehicle” in promotional material distributed to prospective investors.

    It is understood that investors collectively put in over $500,000 (€448,850) with little to no return.

    The plaintiff Emil Corb wants Mr Commane to pay $2m in punitive damages, legal papers seen by the Sunday Independent and filed in a US court show.

    When contacted, a lawyer for Commane said his client categorically denied all the allegations made against him and that no findings had been made against him.

    Hundreds of schools across Ireland received bomb threat emails in a co-ordinated scare that sparked concern among parents, teachers and students.

    The messages were part of a wider campaign that also targeted educational institutions overseas, prompting a major response from authorities.

    Schools were forced to assess the threats and decide whether emergency procedures were necessary, while gardaí moved quickly to reassure the public.

    So, what exactly did the emails contain, who was behind them, and was there ever any credible danger?

    Today, in this Extra episode of the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle examines what happened, what authorities know so far, and the advice being given to schools and the public. Joining him is Irish Independent news correspondent Conor Feehan for the latest update.

    “Fight Night” took on a whole new meaning at an influencer-fronted event in Kilkenny when the action dramatically spilled outside the squared circle.

    Far-right activist Tommy Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – found himself at the centre of an all-out brawl when a seemingly pissed-off pugilist leapt from the ring apron to confront Robinson head-on.

    Cue pandemonium, beamed out via livestream to an audience of almost two million.

    Questions, naturally, have arisen in recent days.

    Was everything really as it seemed? More to the point, why was Tommy Robinson there in the first place? And, perhaps most pertinently, how does Ireland factor into Robinson's agenda of disruption and division?

    On this episode of The Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent journalists Darragh Nolan and Aisling Bolton-Dowling to look at the fallout from a strange night in Kilkenny.

    For years, David Walliams was one of Britain's most recognisable entertainers – a bestselling children's author, a TV star and a household name.

    But, today, the comedian has been publicly identified as the celebrity who sought a court injunction to prevent his name being linked to allegations of sexual misconduct.

    As investigations by The Guardian and ITV News detail claims from several women spanning two decades, Walliams strongly denies wrongdoing and insists he is not a sexual predator.

    So why did he fight so hard to keep his identity secret, and what happens now that the allegations are in the public domain?

    Today, on this extra episode of the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Enda Brady, TRT world presenter, to examine David Walliams' legal battle, the claims against him, his response, and the potentially devastating impact on his career.

    The trial of two women accused of the murder of Scarlett Faulkner has heard detailed evidence from eyewitnesses, family members and emergency responders about the events leading up to her death.

    Jurors have been told of alleged threats, a search for Ms Faulkner and the violent incident at Birdhill, Co Tipperary, in March.

    The prosecution says the attack was motivated by a relationship involving the former partner of one of the accused, a claim that remains contested.

    As the case enters its third week, the court continues to hear testimony about the moments before, during and after the fatal assault.

    What evidence has emerged so far, and what are the key questions facing the jury?

    Today on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by court reporter with Ireland International, Eoin Reynolds, to examine the evidence presented so far in the Scarlett Faulkner murder trial.

    A true self-made man, Pascal Vincent Doyle was a major player in Irish high society once upon a time, counting former taoiseach Charles Haughey as one of his closest confidantes.

    By the time of his death in 1988, PV Doyle was the multi-millionaire owner of an international portfolio of no fewer than 33 hotels.

    A tough act to follow indeed, and so it proved for those who took up the mantle of his business empire – his children.

    And so, the Doyle family feud was born; pitting sibling against sibling in a brutal battle for Succession-esque supremacy.

    On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined in studio by Sunday Independent journalist Liam Collins – who had his own interesting run-in with PV Doyle – to discuss a most bitter breakdown.

    Reporting restrictions in the Noah Donohoe Inquest have been lifted. Courts use reporting restrictions to limit press coverage of legal proceedings to ensure the proceedings are fair, and that juries are not adversely influenced. A number of such restrictions were used during the inquest into the 14-year-old’s 2020 death, however they can now be reported.

    One jury almost derailed the inquest with bizarre theories. Juror A believed Noah was trying to “subliminally” communicate with him on the day of their deliberations. He also put forward a theory that Noah could have been “shunted” down the culvert in the same manner the ancient Egyptians moved materials to build the pyramids. He also suggested Noah had been influenced by the bobsled competition at the Tokyo Olympics – which took place a year later in 2021 – and tried to mimic the actions in the culvert.

    The coroner also blocked disclosure of mental health consultation with Noah Donohoe’s mother Fiona on privacy grounds. Today's Indo Daily is brought to you by our sister podcast The BelTel as Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Liam Tunney, who covered the inquest for the Belfast Telegraph.

    The Irish Independent became the story today when a bomb threat forced the evacuation of our newsroom on Dublin's Talbot Street.

    As journalists across Europe reported on a wave of aviation threats, cyber incidents and security alerts, an email claiming an explosive device had been planted in our building landed directly in our inbox.

    What followed was a garda operation, a full sweep of the building and a dramatic morning for staff who suddenly found themselves at the centre of a breaking news story.

    But was this an isolated hoax, or part of a wider campaign of disruption targeting Europe?

    Today on The Indo Daily, Katie Byrne is joined by Kevin Doyle, executive editor of the Irish Independent, and Gareth O'Connor, deputy news editor at the Irish Independent, to discuss the threat, the response and the growing fears around a new wave of hybrid attacks across Europe.

    Lorcan Hanlon was a successful executive at one of the country's leading and most respected newspaper groups.

    By all appearances, he had it all. But on a work trip to Stockholm in 2024, things would change dramatically for the commercial executive.

    So, what exactly happened in Stockholm? And how did Hanlon go from a successful newspaper executive to a convicted criminal?

    On today’s Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Sunday Independent senior investigative reporter Catherine Sanz to unpack the extraordinary chain of events that led to the fall of Lorcan Hanlon, from the upper ranks of Irish media to a criminal conviction in Sweden.

    A jury has found Russell Brand guilty following one of the most high-profile celebrity trials in recent British history. Over several weeks, jurors heard evidence from six women who independently accused the comedian and former broadcaster of rape and sexual assault, with allegations spanning a decade from 1999 to 2009. Brand denied all of the charges and insisted the encounters were consensual, but today the jury convicted him of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The case has reignited debate about fame, power and whether allegations of sexual misconduct were ignored during a very different era of British media. So what evidence persuaded the jury, and what happens next for Brand? Today on The Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Courts Editor for the Press Association Tristan Kirk, to unpack the verdict and the long road to this dramatic conclusion.

    The Democrats have stormed back into power, seizing control of both the House and Senate and delivering a political blow to Donald Trump.

    But while the mid-terms may be over, the race to define America’s future is only just beginning.

    Is Trump now a lame-duck president, or can he still dominate the Republican Party from the White House?

    And as cracks begin to appear in the MAGA coalition, who is ready to take up the mantle?

    With Republicans facing difficult questions about their future and Democrats already looking towards the next presidential race, the battle for 2028 has begun.

    Today on the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Lorcan Nyhan of The Communications Clinic and Professor Scott Lucas of the Clinton Institute at UCD to examine what the mid-term results mean for Donald Trump, the Republican Party and the future of US politics.

    RTÉ is heading back before the Oireachtas as politicians demand answers on reform, funding and the future of Ireland's national broadcaster.

    More than two years after the payments scandal plunged the organisation into crisis, questions remain over whether RTÉ is really becoming the leaner, more efficient broadcaster it promised to be.

    With a €20m funding dispute still hanging over Montrose and TV licence fee revenue continuing to decline, pressure is growing on director general Kevin Bakhurst and his leadership team.

    Fresh controversy surrounding RTÉ's new sports podcast with Ger Gilroy has only added to scrutiny of the broadcaster's strategy and decision-making.

    As TDs prepare to put RTÉ executives under the spotlight once again, can they convince critics that meaningful change is finally happening?

    Today on the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Ireland Editor Fionnán Sheahan to examine the challenges, controversies and questions facing RTÉ.

    Voting is under way in the US mid-term elections, with the potential for a major impact on Donald Trump's presidency.  

    One man who knows what it's like to be inside the pressure cooker of Trump's White House – albeit briefly – is former communications director Anthony Scaramucci.  

    Having long shaken off the ignominy of his 11-day reign, Scaramucci has repositioned himself as a prolific political commentator and author.  

    His new book, All the Wrong Moves: How Three Catastrophic Decisions Led to the Rise of Trump, places his former employer back under the microscope, though Scaramucci is adamant that it's no cheap takedown.  

    Instead, he argues that Trump is reflective of an America long on the precipice of oblivion.  

    On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Anthony Scaramucci to forecast the US mid-terms, the effect they're likely to have on Donald Trump, and who the president is likely to blame if the Republicans are on the receiving end of a drubbing.

    Anonymous briefings, accusations of betrayal and a mystery phone call have exposed deep tensions within Fine Gael.

    Culture Minister Patrick O'Donovan has hit back after questions were raised about his health, describing the episode as the "ultimate betrayal".

    Rolex watches, luxury BMWs and designer handbags worth almost €300,000 have been seized in Garda raids targeting a prominent Irish charity.

    The Garda National Economic Crime Bureau has carried out searches linked to Liberty Recycling, a charity chaired by Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh.

    Sinn Féin have confirmed that there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD and none of the items seized are connected to him.

    The investigation centres on suspected money laundering.

    As the probe continues, Liberty Recycling remains operational and is still accepting donations through its website.

    On this Extra episode of the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent News and Security Correspondent Robin Schiller to address the latest developments, the garda operation and Sinn Féin's response to the investigation.

    A strike by criminal defence lawyers is causing disruption across Ireland's courts, but the bigger question may be what happens next.

    ­

    With barristers and solicitors warning their action could escalate, pressure is mounting on Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan to find a solution.

    ­

    Is this a routine industrial dispute, or the first big political test of his tenure?

    ­

    On today's Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan examines what's at stake for the justice system, the Government and for O'Callaghan himself. He is joined by Irish Independent’s legal affairs editor Shane Phelan and political editor Mary Regan to explain the row, the politics and the potential fallout.

    ­

    And with neither side showing signs of backing down, they ask: who will blink first?

    France is burning. What began as student protests over crumbling schools has exploded into riots, looting and a political crisis that is shaking the country ahead of next year's presidential election.

    As President Emmanuel Macron struggles to restore order, many are asking whether this is a uniquely French revolt or a warning sign for the rest of Europe.

    Today on the Indo Daily Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Paris-based journalist Catherine Field to explain how France reached this breaking point and why support for far-right leader Marine Le Pen is soaring.

    Also, Irish Independent political correspondent Cónal Thomas examines whether the same cost-of-living pressures could spark unrest closer to home. And as anger grows across the continent, we ask: could protests in Ireland be on the horizon?

    A blacked-out van. A secret meeting. And a quest for answers that would consume decades of one man's life.

    In the concluding episode of this Indo Daily exclusive, Austin Stack recounts the extraordinary events that unfolded as he pursued the truth about his father's murder. What followed were revelations, confrontations and moments that were almost impossible to believe.

    More than 40 years after Brian Stack was shot, Austin believes he finally has many of the answers he spent a lifetime searching for.

    But has that brought justice?

    Today on the Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Austin Stack in the concluding episode of ‘I Know Who Murdered My Father’.
