Why is the IRFU playing landlord in Dublin's most expensive postcode?

With a historical 16th-century city becoming the backdrop for a foam party on their yacht, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have taken the old blessing of “something old, something new” to heart.

When 78-year-old Sonia ‘Sunny' Jacobs, along with her carer Kevin Kelly (31) died in a house fire at the Connemara home she called her “sanctuary", it seemed like a tragically ironic end for a celebrated activist. But Jacobs was no stranger to life's juxtapositions. The well-liked and peaceful woman spent five years on death row in the US before her conviction over the murder of two police officers in Florida in 1976 was overturned after procedural errors were identified. Now, as a Florida inmate speaks out about the circumstances leading to her incarceration, we ask who was the real Sunny Jacobs?

Six months into the new Government, and all seems to be oddly quiet in the world of Irish politics. Yes, we've had the furore over the Regional Independent Group's support for the Coalition, Verona Murphy's survival of no-confidence and the ruckus that followed Michael Lowry's memorable two-finger salute. But since the dust settled on all the “ruaille buaille” of those rocky first days in January, business has been unusually quiet in Dáil Éireann. So, what has this Government actually achieved so far? Has it lived up to its numerous election promises?

In early June, a shooting took place near a Dublin playground in broad daylight. There were no injuries, but a clear message was sent. Among the group that was targeted were associates of one of Irelands most feared crime bosses, Brian “King Ratt” Rattigan. Once one of Ireland's most notorious mobsters, Rattigan's rise was as dramatic as the Crumlin-Drimnagh feud he was at the center of.

We've now been living some version of a housing crisis for two decades. First there was the Celtic Tiger and its crazy house prices. Then there was “the crash” and its ghost estates.

During Donald Trump's first term as president, his family continued to generate millions in revenue on things like merchandise such as MAGA hats and, of course, a booming property portfolio.

Joe Biden blanking George Clooney is just one of many shocking anecdotes included in Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again – a bombshell new book about the final months of the 46th US president's administration. So what does this shocking behind-the-scenes story mean for Mr Biden's political legacy and indeed, the Democratic Party itself? Host: Ellen Coyne | Guests: Lorcan Nyhan (Head of Training at the Communications Clinic) and Scott Lucas (Professor of International Politics at the Clinton Institute at UCD) ­ It was in June of last year at a Hollywood fundraiser where a former US President is said to have blanked a man he has known for nearly two decades. “You know George, George Clooney,” an aide told Joe Biden – who had failed to recognise one of the most famous faces in the world. This shocking anecdote is one of many included in Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again – the new bombshell book about the final months of Joe Biden's administration. The book has landed at an especially tough juncture for the 82-year-old, following his recently announced diagnosis of an aggressive form of prostate cancer. And while authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have faced some criticism for the timing – their work exposes concerted efforts to cocoon both the president and the American people from his very clear decline.
