Jeffrey Donaldson: ‘Disturbing’ Snapchat filters and new allegations 

The boyfriend of murdered American mother-of-one Jamey Carney has been detained in Jordan, the Irish Independent understands.

Ahmad al-Saqar is a person of interest to the garda investigation into the murder of Ms Carney.

The dramatic development came as gardai have made rapid progress in their murder probe with significant forensic, CCTV and witness evidence obtained.

Sources indicated that the 28 year old man has been detained in Jordan over the past 48 hours.

Ireland does not have an extradition treaty with Jordan and no Irish arrest warrant has been issued in respect of the Killarney murder as yet.

The detention was made by Jordan’s Public Security Directorate. The whereabouts of Ahmad Al-Samar, had been unknown.

He is “a person of interest” for gardaí as he spent time with Ms Carney between July 4-6.

Gardai now believe the Jordanian was with Ms Carney on Monday evening, the night she was fatally assaulted.

Jamey Carney murder: Boyfriend of American mother-of-one detained in Jordan

RTÉ look to be further floundering in their finances.

Director General Kevin Bakhurst appeared before the Public Accounts Committee last week looking for extra funding from Government.

The reason? “Volatility” in TV licence-fee revenue.

Over one in five households now do not own a TV, which means the broadcaster needs an extra €54.79m this year from the exchequer, up from €41.3m last year.

But as the number of households without a television continues to grow, is the licence fee becoming a relic of a bygone era?

And in a world of streaming services, social media and endless digital content, can RTÉ survive today's media landscape?

On today’s The Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by Irish Independent Technology Editor, Adrian Weckler, Entertainment correspondent for the Irish Independent, Melanie Finn and political reporter at the Irish Independent, Aisling Moloney to examine the future of the TV licence, and whether the broadcaster is facing yet another financial reckoning.

Is RTÉ a sinking ship? Boycotts, 'bailouts' and bygone eras

Electric scooters were once seen as the future of urban transport, but growing safety concerns are changing the conversation.

Todays episode of The Indo Daily is brought to you by our sister podcast The Big Tech Show, as Adrian Weckler is joined by former Fine Gael TD Noel Rock to discuss whether electric scooters have become too dangerous for Irish roads. They examine rising injury numbers, gaps in enforcement, why existing rules are failing, and whether tighter regulation is enough or if Ireland should consider banning them altogether.
