Money Makeover: €160k income, six holidays... no pension? 

The fallout continues from the horrific crash on the M9 motorway two Sundays ago.

Three sisters – Niamh Kinsella, Alma Kinsella, Ella Hendricken, and a seven-year-old boy – remain in hospital.

Five young men – Jeremy O'Brien, Alex McCarthy, Joe Carthy, Kamil Pustkowski, and Jack Kennedy - lost their lives.

The incident captured the attention and emotions of the nation. Concern, alarm, fear, outrage – all have been thoroughly expressed in recent days.

Now, as the five teenage boys are laid to rest, a similar incident in England has provoked fresh anxiety, after a wrong-way car crash near Middlesbrough in the early hours of Saturday morning left seven people dead, including two police officers.

On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent journalist Conor Feehan to look at the latest from the M9 crash, and by Irish Independent features writer Kim Bielenberg to examine the scourge of joyriding in society over the years.

M9 crash fallout: Tense funerals and the evolution of Ireland’s joyriding scourge 

As criminal underworld nicknames go, ‘The Milkman’ certainly stands out.

The moniker may conjure cartoonish imagery, but the reality was quite simple – Brian Brendan Wright always delivered.

Having swapped out Cork for London at the age of 12, Wright grew up in a working-class Irish community before carving out a distinctive personality for himself.

In time, he would boast quite the collection of acquaintances, rubbing shoulders with celebrity names like Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood and Michael Caine, while also emerging as a well-respected “gentleman gangster” in the criminal underworld.

And so it was that when a suspicious yacht anchored in Cobh, Co Cork, on a stormy September night in 1996, investigators eventually found themselves on the trail of The Milkman.

On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent southern correspondent Ralph Riegel to look at how an Irish expat built a global drugs empire and how it all came spilling down around him.
