Chappell Roan leaves agency over its Epstein links – will Irish acts follow? 

Ten years on from the Regency Hotel shooting, a one-man play about Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch is returning to the stage in the Ambassador Theatre after last year’s sold-out run. Written and performed by Rex Ryan, son of the late broadcaster Gerry Ryan, the show charts the life of one of Ireland’s most infamous and divisive figures. The Monk’s name is etched into the public consciousness through an unprecedented gangland feud that reshaped the country’s criminal landscape. So, does putting his story onstage risk humanising, even glamorising, a violent chapter in recent Irish history?

Ryan Tubridy's RTÉ rebirth: A comeback, contrition or career rehab? 

Former justice minister Alan Shatter said he has been the target of a vicious and antisemitic smear campaign since Social Democrats justice spokesman Gary Gannon put up a social media post that linked him with Jeffrey Epstein.

Mr Shatter, who was Fine Gael’s justice minister from 2011 to 2014, said he has twice written to Mr Gannon and Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns in the last week seeking the withdrawal of false claims that he met Epstein while in office.

It is understood Mr Shatter is considering taking defamation action against Dublin Central TD Mr ­Gannon.

Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns declined to comment on the issue on Sunday.

Asked whether Mr Shatter will be receiving an apology from she or Mr Gannon, she told RTÉ's The Week in Politics: "This is potentially a legal matter so I can't comment on this."

Mr Gannon was also contacted for comment
