Shooters, ICE and Iran: Is Trump’s America too dangerous for the World Cup?


Following a difficult production, the estate-approved Michael Jackson biopic is finally in cinemas and smashing box office records. Some fans are even dancing in the aisles, audience etiquette be damned. Bad reviews and decades of troubling allegations don’t seem to have had an impact, but should the life of Michael Jackson be as celebrated and unchallenged as this?

Why don’t people care about the Michael Jackson allegations? 

Beaming down a Zoom call line from sunny Spain, Gerry Hutch told the Irish Independent that he intends to return to Ireland soon to formally kickstart his by-election campaign. He also had some pointed words for Daniel Kinahan following his dramatic arrest in Dubai. But what does Hutch’s upcoming campaign really look like, especially as he refuses to make any promises to the electorate? Does ‘The Monk’ have a realistic shot at rubbing shoulders in Dáil Éireann?

Gerry Hutch says “karma” has come for Daniel Kinahan as by-election run kicks off

On Sunday Jim Glennon, who served as a Fianna Fáil TD in the Dublin North constituency from 2002 to 2007, confirmed that he had offered a character reference for convicted sex offender Daniel Ramamoorthy.

In a statement, Edelman Ireland announced that Jim Glennon’s tenure as non-executive chairman had ended before they were aware he wrote the character reference.

The PR firm told the Irish Independent that his tenure ended in March, but an external announcement had not been made to the media. This was, “in line with our protocol, and it had been communicated to relevant contacts internally,” Edelman Ireland said in response to queries.
On the question of who had been notified internally and when, the company said it would not be commenting further.
Today on this Indo Daily Extra, Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Special Correspondent Catherine Fegan, to discuss the fallout from the revelations, and look at her pursuit for answers to the controversy as it unfolded.
