Indo Politics: Airbnb U-turns, rent resets and enter… The Housing Tsar 

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.

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?
