Extra: American man re-arrested in Mike Gaine murder investigation 

Irish woman Annalouise Spence stands accused of fraud that resulted in an incredible spending spree to the tune of $1.6m.  
Ms Spence previously worked as a private secretary for Australian billionaire philanthropist Judith Neilson.  
Spence is currently behind bars, charged with 68 counts of dishonestly obtaining property by deception, with premium concert tickets, opulent hotel bookings and high-fashion luxury items listed among the court documents.  
So, how did such an extraordinary deception come to pass? 
On this episode of The Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Kate McClymont, investigative reporter with The Sydney Morning Herald, who first broke this story, to hear the many twists and turns it has taken thus far.

Coldplay and Louis Vuitton: Irish woman’s $1.6m shopping spree after allegedly defrauding Australian billionaire 

This episode of The Indo Daily is brought to you by our sister podcast Indo Politics.

­

A “just delighted” Daniel Ennis of the Social Democrats is racing ahead in the Dublin Central by-election, leaving rival candidates from heavyweight parties in the dust.

­

A historic day for the Social Democrats proved to be a difficult one for both Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil as Mary Lou McDonald and Micheál Martin lost momentum.

­

Meanwhile, events in Galway West have been considerably tighter, with a final result not expected until lunchtime on Sunday.

­

As it stands - at least at the time of recording this podcast - Noel Thomas of Independent Ireland is leading the charge, with Fine Gael’s Seán Kyne trailing slightly behind.

­

So, what does it all mean?

­

Micheál Martin may be putting on a brave face, but he faces a tricky forecast.

­

Mary Lou McDonald says there’s no threat to her leadership, but how damaging is this latest election loss under her watch?

­

Did the novelty of Gerry Hutch wear off in the end?

And are the Greens back in business?

­

It's all up for discussion on this edition of Indo Politics as host Cónal Thomas hears from Irish Independent political editor Mary Regan in Galway, and from Irish Independent political reporter Aisling Moloney in Dublin.

By-Elections: Daniel Ennis leads the way in Dublin as Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil falter

On a cold winter night in December 2000 Sandra Collins went missing from a small fishing village in Mayo. Five days later, her fleece was found on a local pier, but despite extensive searches, no other trace of Sandra has ever been found. There have been arrests, trials, and even a reclassification to murder, yet the case endures as one of Ireland’s most tragic and unsolved mysteries. Crime World’s Nicola Tallant and Jenny Friel discuss their latest nine-part podcast series, Ghost, which digs deep into the life and the enduring questions that surround Sandra Collins’ disappearance.
